Does 24 hour light happen in nature?

How about synthetic antibiotics?

Let your mind wander man and be a LOT less cruel, it's not them who looks like the idiot.

If you want purple nugs, just add purple food dye too your last couple of waterings and you should have purple nugs

Of course I'm just assuming they'll go purple

Someone care to try it

lol, you are giveing all of us who grow purple plants a bad name. I mean like purple urkle and purple wreck! Lol.

If your asking the question, "What does purple do for you?" Then what does green do for you? If I knew how to grow a completly black weed plant that tasted like coffee, Id probably try and do it. What Im saying is, most the time, GOOD purple usualy has a grapey/skunky taste. Is like a red mj plant that taste like strawberry..(Strawberry Haze) or a color from a fruit you know of by the color it is. THat is how human beings express there taste characteristics...mostly by sight.

ummmm.....no

why the hate for the purpling phenotype? i often find purple buds to be tasty as hell and very fruity. I grow purple kush, and it is the finest smoke i've yet encountered. if you don't think purple tastes amazing, your smoking the wrong stuff.

agreed purple kush is delicious, however stress weed, not so much.

I might try to chill my res the last few weeks before harvest. I know that your plant likes colder temperatures to increase thc near the end of harvest. and plants do respond to root temperatures as well as the temperature in its environment. I have heard first hand of people doing this successfully to whiten their pre-harvest. If I tried it, I would run a chiller, and increase cold water it till my res was 50 degrees. Trying to purple a plant may be overboard. but there is truth in colder root zones and thc production in the last few weeks of harvest.
I dont see how you res would hold its temperature without you making many trips to the freezer everyday. So I wouldnt reccomend ice cubes, but really want to try a chiller towards the end next time. And saying dutch people might stress their buds by running ice water through roots is bullshit. Dutch people are the pioneers of weed production, and have nft methods that blow our shit out of the water using much less energy and nutrients.

Alaska has 24 hr light

Up until 2 months ago, I used to put frozen 1 gallon jugs of water in both of my res 2 times a day, and my aerocloner. I was doing it for a different reason, but none the less I was still doing it. I was doing it to keep my water temps under 70 (75 in cloner). My systems are RDWCs, and I put them in the epicenter, so might be a bit different. But I put the jugs in my aerocloner as well, and the roots would dangle and sit on the ice. Never had any problems, only beautiful white roots. Really though chillers are the best way to drop water temp. 1 Gallon of ice would cool my aerocloner with 10 gallons 10 degrees, from 80 to 70.

I am not saying your idea will work, just that I don't think it will be as disastrous as some people here think. Care to tell us a bit more about your set-up and strain?

Also I would like to quickly add, the argument that if it doesn't happen in nature it's not good for the plants is a silly and invalid argument. 1500 PPM of CO2 doesn't happen in nature. Compare plants 'breathing' 1500PPM of CO2 compared to the natural 350PPM of CO2 and see which are happier.

this is rediculous.

That was a well thought out comment. Your moms rediculous

you do that and you will kill your plants

Here is a good idea, just go to the store and buy some purple spray paint and paint them.... Or you could always try using some bong water that some purple weed has been smoked in. That might work
