turning the bud purp

hmm, but if the bud already had the purp genetics, would it come out growing it naturally? or are these methods to bring out/bring it out MORE?
Thats a really good question. Sometimes even if your plant has purple genetics, it wont show them because of the environment your growing in. For example I dont think any plant could show purps if it was grown in a very hot climate, unless it gets very cold at night. And thats what these methods are for. Like my rubbermaid boxes get super hot so I put the plants outside at night to show color.

trees turn color when it gets cold outside, like in the fall. that don't mean you'll get purple buds.. you'll just get a stresed out plant that thinks the season is changing... and plants don't bud in the fall...

I think you meant they don't bud in winter ;-)

Yea I read somewhere on here that a 20 degree drop in temp from lights on vs off would cause it to occur. Say you had 75 degrees with lights on or sun out, and 55 degrees at night, the plants that have tendancy to turn purple will start doing so.

Like I said earlier, its all gonna depend on your genetics. Any plant can get red or purple leaves from getting really cold at night but thats just the leaves. But there are those strains out there that if exposed to colder temps, will have purple calyxes. As for what you say about plants not budding in fall I think you must be confused. Giving your plants cold temps at night will really help to let your plant know its time to finish because thats what it feels like in fall outdoors.
