Do you have that much Purple in your bud or is it just the light making it look that way?
yes,
Romulan ,
Romulan x Black Rose
Exodus cheese x Black Rose

Romulan and Black Rose have purple in them ,
the Romulan looks like sweets when its finished. . .

I tried some New Purple Power a few years back but didn't get any purple at all. I've heard that you need to have wider temperature swings to bring it out. Mine was only about 8 degrees between lights on and off. How cold does your room get with the lights off?

i never let the temp drop below 15, i use an air fan heater with a thermostat set at 15,
I have grown stuff before like blue mystic and others and saw nothing but green and browns,
I think it depends a lot on quality of seedbank and not just some cheap cut from say someone like nirvana and barneys farm etc.
This is just an opinion but the American and Canadian stuff seem a lot more reliable and the dutch and European stuff not so much. Make me think that the ppl breeding for medicine and not for commercial gain seem to know their stuff.
this is just an opinion.

I do know that plants that get to cold can show purple and not just m j plants.

That's still low, that's about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. My temps don't vary much at all. High of 77f (25c) and low of 70f (21c). I was told I'd need to get it closer to 65f (18c). That said, I think you have a point Clonex. I got them from Doc Chronic back in the HG420 days. Maybe I'll try something with color again next time I order seeds.

Damn 15? Thats super low....unless you're talkin celsius
Yup 15*c , i'm in the shit hole called the UK....,lights on is between 26-28*c ,
I think it amounts to 60*c (off temp) & 83*c (on temp).
Lights on temp depends how high i turn up the air con flow....

15*c (60f) is the bang on recommended low temp,
Most ppl state that if the fluctuation between temps is no more than 12 degrees you should be ok,
My next setting up on the thermo is 20*c,
This would cost me an extra £1.50/day electric , around $3.20,
when i ran that temp i noticed no visable behaviour difference with my plants,
We are having really low temps at the moment here but it never lasts for long.

I should add just for reference that the thermo kicks in at 15*c , but it blows hot air up to 21*c then cuts again until it drops, @ 15 for less than 5 seconds.
