Making you weed more blue

Cannabis plants are purple already, when exposed to cooler temperatures some of the chlorophyll dies, uncovering the blue/violet colors beneath. Strains like Blueberry and Mendo Purps are colored naturally trough genetics. You can cause deficiencies in late bloom that will give you good violet, sometimes maroon colors, this is done because the grower is focusing on maximum production and potency, not necessarily for the color. Sometimes when a pot plant has had a 'dry spell', the next time they get watered they will suck up more material than necessary out of a survival technique... maybe this could be used to suck up a food coloring or the baking powder? ...generally plants only intake nutrients and chemicals that they need/use, unless there is nutrient lockout/pH imbalance or irrigation problems.
Why would anyone use dyes, gross. Imagine the dye taste in your mouth except burnt. Nasty, seen people do this and all that happens is negative taste, burn, and falsifying strains for the adventure breeders out there with almost no productive outcome. Better to look into PH, lighting, and temperature changes. I've had 14 ft plants completely red outdoors come November. Indoors just find ways to reduce chlorophyll production to bring out your plants inner colors and doing this while adjusting PH, lighting, and temperature will produce optimum results. Your general outside conditions will directly affect whether or not you can actually meet these conditions indoors but more often than not hot/warm climate areas need plants to be grown during spring/fall/winter for optimum color change. Usually producing a cold enough dark period between 60 and 70 degrees with day periods being about 20 degrees warmer will help in producing color change.
