Ive done well with my out door crops over the years. Right now I'm working on my first indoor. Every things going well to say the least. My question is, this is my first grow with GDP. (Grand Daddy Purple) My question is, When should I be expecting to see some color change. I an going on week 5 of flower and things are greener than ever. I keep my temps in the dark time between 65-75. just kinda trying to make sure my purple turns purple. any input?

the lower the temp the more purple. our purples turned super purple (like almost no green) when they had 45f at night for a few days. lower temps slow growth too so its a trade off

wait till they are almost done and hit them with a few days of very cold, they will change in less than a week. we did ours two weeks before they finished after 2-3 days we saw a big dif in color but they went slower after

that cold slows down every thing. but if you do it in the last week it should be better than doing it earlier.

It simply a matter of basic chem...When things get hot, they expand, like a wood door in the summer time....When they get cold things shrink up, like when water freezes, the volume appears to decrease drastically. the same is going on here with the plant cells inside the plant, when it is warm the cells move around freely, when they are too hot, can think of it as getting overtired this is what can cause the "taco" or "canoing" effect when temps are too high, when temps are low cells sloooow, the slower those cells are moving the slower the plants grow, few nights of 45f will DEF get those girls headin' for the other end of the color spectrum.

WTF are you talking about? Water expands when it freezes.
