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.

Why wouldnt you just have got a purple strain, and just my 2 cents crank the ac on the last week ..............the strain you got aint gonna turn purple (fyi) unless there going to curl over and die................ Normally i crank the ac on the last week cause i have a purple strain and it make itturn purple a lil more.

purple isnt always good....

Stress to the roots during the night actually stops flower development. so no. The reason cold AIR temps make the bud purple is b/c chlorophyll cant live in cold temperatures but anthocyanin can (the purple pigment). So its genetics and weather not one or the other.

Almost right. However I breed purple and my temps are very very closely regulated ny genetics turn even some trichromes purple. It can be weather OR genetics OR both. Back on subject though would you kill your own daughter? If you answered yes to this your sick and you need to get to fillin up ice trays. DONT DO IT!

when you "gots da puprp on deck" homies be all like, "yo ill pay 25 a G for some of them grapes." lol i went to the club a couple days ago and bought an 8th of some purp for 55 and an 8th of some hydro ass sour applle cough for 35, let me tell you... I would rather smoke a bowl to the dome of the SA over a square of the "mendo purps" I will however admit I bought the purps cuz they looked soo bomb, but in the ends they were shit potency... Id say unless ur just trynna get a lil bit of purple on ur plant, dont do the ice cube thing, just go with a purple strain like everyone else has been saying, although I am going to surround one of my plants with ice cube close to harvest just to see what happens, i mean you gotta try it once right'?:joint:

I turned 8 sprouts purple. I made a big mistake by adding nutes when they were only a week old. That was one of my first newb mistakes.

The color would come out more if you can get the room temp way down. Adding ice will shock the shit out of them and might stop the flowering.

hell no!it critical mportance for a healty root zone,that the water temp stay between 66-68 f.it doesnt have to be right on but consistently staying at these temps are good.at these temps the nute solution holds a goood amount of O2 within it,and the nute absorbtion rates are still high enough for most plants.lower water contains more O2 but interfer with nute absorption rates.the only way i found to keep the nute solution consistently within the correct temp range is to use a water chiller...works great

I can guarantee Jason King mentions no such thing in the cannabibles.

I can guarantee you he does in the first volume of the Cannabible, when criticizing White Widow and how commercial growers in 'dam try to make it more white. He's criticizing, not advertising this method.

on p.184: "Some commercial Dutch growers are rumored to stress these plants (by running ice water through the hydroponic system, for example) to give them an extra-white appearance. Scary."

ive heard from an old grower i know that if u wanted to get a change in the color of bud would be to simulate a frost....i dont thin you could do it by the roots you would have a serious problem, but i dont know about changeing the temp in the room....i never tried it but i would like to know if someone has....

why do so many people want purple? damn, like all the people in my neck of the woods are all talking about how purp is the best weed and all that and how they have tried widow and afgooi, etc and purp is the best. yeah its an opinion but purps are OK at best, yeah they taste good but shit go for quality not color. hell i have a auto flower blue mystic and nothing on it is blue.
