I know this is completely off subject but I just read Jash's Craglist thing in his sig... lol that is some funny shit- reminds me of when I was a little younger.

Just to comment on the OP... I don't think it would work... I may be wrong because I am also too lazy to google this but.. Again I'm not sure how food coloring works exactly but just like you and I, we have metabolisms. Plants too have something similar I think, just much simpler in a way. If I was to drink/eat food coloring, I wouldn't expect my natural pigment to change... nor would I on a plant because they use what they need and don't uptake or expel what they don't.

Possibly change the veins in the leaf or maybe the hairs but I really doubt...

For some reason, if this did work- I think there would be a lot more people claiming a lot better shit than they really got. BTW and not to criticize your experiment, I really wouldn't want to smoke food coloring.. even if it did work.

Watering with color does nothing, but right after you harvest [and before you trim] you can put the stem in colored water and it'll absorb the colors in the buds.

however good this is for bag appeal, this destroys the taste, burn, and smell of your buds. FDD has a thread call something like "color of my dreams" or along the lines of that...

you cant add flavor or color through watering. the roots filter anything out. the above mentioned method does work. dont do it with food coloring because it will make the bud burn very harsh and taste like shit. FDD had a huge thread on this where he tried it. he turned bud a crazy looking blue color but it was not smokable. usually this method is reserved for honey.

cold temps have been known to give off purple buds.
infact i saw a thread on here trying to use lower temps to get purple buds off a couple non purple plants recently

I don't know if it will color the leaves or not, but it will probably color the flower/bud. That is how Carnations are colored ... they are grown white but come in all of those pastel colors because the stems are set in dye and it is soaked up ... but the leaves and stems stay green.

Good luck ... maybe you can experiment on males if you have any.

this does work but is supposed to make it taste terrible! look up fdds thread color of my dreams
