Making Buds go Purple....!!...?????...!help

hey my people,
i am looking for some good tips on making your buds turn purple.
i have heard if you lower the dark hours temp. to below 50. for about a week, that your buds will go purple.
i have no idea if that is true or not. i have also heard that if the temp ever drops below 50F that the plant will start to die.
so if you have any advice on making buds turn purple, please let me know.

also, i know that you can cut the stem at harvest, and stick it into food coloring, or kool-aid and the buds will change.....but i do not want to do this if i can make the buds go purple a different way.

You might get some purpling with colder temps..but you will also slow their growth to a crawl and will more than likely put a dent in your yield.

Chances are that if anything happens the leaves will color up..but the buds won't..many times it is genetic makeup...not environmental factors..that influence color.

and the food color thing..why would ya wanna fuck up good bud like that? You don't get high off the color of the pot.

Grow Blueberry/BB crosses..Black Russian..Purple Doja...etc for good purples

good luck

why though?

it's strain related.

Depends on strain, and my plants are out in 37 degrees right now... The cold does slow growth but luckily this is the last night of freezing weather here. The coldest weather my plants have been in is 31 degrees, I put bags over them and they perked right up the next morning.

Yup, not all turn purple even with the right genetics.

One of my plants looks like the pic fdd posted, with the purple leaves and what not. It was bagseed in the 1st place, and I know for a fact I have never gotten a bag of purple weed.
