Fair enough. I definitely never meant Nature's Care was the best. I think your search for green like that boils down more to strain hardiness. Like, I think certain strains can take their nitrogen being pushed, and nitrogen is necessary for the green, while others are not able to tolerate high levels like that. I could be wrong, though, this is more if a hypothesis.
There is a lot of really inaccurate info in here. All strains are different hues of green, some stay dark green all the way through flower, others don't. Plants definitely do stay dark green outside in California. Indoor vs outdoor has nothing to do with how green your plants are. Some strains yellow regardless of how much n you give them, others don't. My system right now has a good example because I have a kosher cross that is super dark and has never been over 600ppm of balanced nutrient solution. No sign of tox or burn, and the other plants in the same res are lighter. Actually every strain in my tent is a different shade of green, none are tox or deficient.
dark green.
light green

I'm afraid I have to agree on this one being under the influence of too much N!
I don't see anything that disagrees with my post there lol. And I don't disagree with any of yours. Here's a purple I've bred and so far all exhibit the purple trait, while all other plants in my tent are green. Both male and female exhibit the trait as well.
Mine wasn't nutrient-induced. I use a 3-4-2 NPK'd nute, and less than recommended. There is purple so far on the branching and not in the veins. The buds are just now beginning to mature.I don't see anything that disagrees with my post there lol. And I don't disagree with any of yours.

A major difference between true colored strains and ones that are forced to color is that the ones that are forced are unhealthy lol. True colors are genetic and cannot be avoided with nutrients.
I guess I was speaking more on green strains in my op.
I wasn't speaking in regards to your plant. I haven't seen any pics of it so I don't have anything to say about it lol.
That's a whole lot of wrong right there.
Can you explain?
Not all strains foxtail(unless you are speaking of heat/stress related foxtails). True foxtailing is a sativa trait derived from haze or the haze family I think. So some strains foxtail naturally and it's a good thing. Most true indicas and a lot of indica dominant hybrids will never foxtail if they are healthy and in an optimal environment.
I'll step right out and say "He's wrong" on this one!
Thank you, I didn't mean to get defensive. I don't plan to feed it through harvest from here, so do you think it should pose a problem?
I didn't say forced......encouraged is a better term......I don't think that they're "unhealthy".......per say! Some folks do "force" and those can be unhealthy! So we're both right on that one!
No. not in any real sense......It'll be a little longer running but, no real "problems"!
That's a relief. And, I'll check your stuff out.
Lol I would agree that encouraged is different than forced. A lot of that comes with knowing a strain and what it wants/when it wants it as well.I didn't say forced......encouraged is a better term......I don't think that they're "unhealthy".......per say!

Otherwise - we agree! Just clarifying
Exactly!
