Agreed, a full spectrum light that includes uv, ir, Chlorophyll a and b, with red, white, and blue peaks helps develop the natural chemicals if your strain carries those traits that cause pigmentation. Waiting until the plant eats the chlorophyll will allow those colors to show through. If you don't have one of those beautiful strains, or you are trying to make it look a little unnatural, the food coloring isn't going to kill you

why not just score some strains that are prone to change color during flowering & or veg instead of adding food coloring or "Kool-Aid" thought I would mention KA being I heard of allot of growers doing that back in the day. lol

not sure how to respond to that... Many, many, many things that were/are FDA approved are harmful. in fact wasn't it a type of red food coloring that was fda approved years ago, that causes cancer? I can't remember was it red dye #6?
hydrogenated oils are FDA approved... not to mention aspartame and all the other artificial sweeteners.... they'll kill ya deader then hell

quick search revealed, 1976, amaranth red food dye, found to be carcinogenic, and that was AFTER FDA approved it.
