Purple Colour in warm climates?

Hi Guys

I would like to know if anybody can tell me if lets say i plant Purple Haze in a very warm climate, which can reach up to 100 degrees farenheit, if it will still turn Purple because I have read on some sites that this color can only be achieved in the cooler climates. And if bud worms are a problem in warm areas as well?

Yes......and yes

One of my plants is almost ready to be harvested and it just started purpling the other day in 103 degree heat

i have three showing purple (cherry kush,querkle and purp trainwreck)

From my understanding there is 3 reasons your plant may turn purple. One is temperature, two is genetics and three, there are products out there you can feed your plant to do this. If you have moths or butterflys you should worry about bud worm.

give them a nice dose of ice could water the day before harvest will bring the color out

Forgot #4.......deficiencies

So it is a safe bet if I buy myself a purple strain that it will turn purple when it becomes harvest time?

Thanks for the info guess I learned another thing today.

Yeah. My buddy grows Purple Kush on a regular basis and it purples up regardless of temps

I want to try an auto purple strain. Any great strains you know of for outdoors? I have heard from some people that auto strains are not as potent and usually gives a small to medium yield. Any truth in that? And what about strains that only take about three months from germination to harvest are they also less potent?

Also the bud worms guys? Are they a problem in warm climates? Or will the different climate/area have it's own pests and problems?

Autos are ruderalis crosses and thus suffer from the deficiencies you mention. Avoid.

Dammit its a shame was hoping to try some speed devil some time, for some reason I feel more at ease with a plant which grows in only 60 days.
