Dark purple color - should I be worried?

Gelato auto. Temps have been from 75 at the absolute coolest to about 95 at their peak.

Would this just be the strain that's causing this coloration? I'm maybe 3-4 weeks into flowering, and it's only around the buds.

Haven't gone crazy with nutes, just veg and Bloom dirty with shine. I doubt it's phosphorus deficiency since the Temps are not even close to dropping below 75.20200801_163604.jpg


Thanks in advance!

Thats all genetics, shes fine. Surprised how healthy for up to 95...

Not to burst your bubble but purple weed is usually not potent at all.

Cool. Yeah, I think summer growing is just a lost cause here in San Diego. It just gets too damn hot. Maybe I'll have to add a small ac unit. Just likely stunted the growth and that's why it's not even a foot tall

Not potent isn't what I wanted to hear. Lol

Thank you for the feedback. Truly appreciated

Fastbuds. There's a possibility it's zkittlez and I got the pots mixed up. But I'm pretty sure this is Gelato.
Doesnt look like the fastbuds zkittles or gelato i grew but id say it looks closer to the zkittles if i had to pick. The zkittles was garbage. The gelato was fire. Where did you get the seeds from? Looks more like their Blackberry to me.

Man, I'm looking at pics of their blackberry... Looks pretty much identical to mine. Good call on that one. I guess I expected the strains I ordered to be the ones I'm actually growing.

I'm thinking I'll not be ordering from this place in the future

One of the most frustrating things about seed market. For example I have grown cheese from seedsman, rqs, and Bergman. All were different. Seedsman was my favorite but got hard to get. Its why I got into cloning.

Yeah ive never heard of that seed bank. Photoperiod plants are soooo much better. So glad i made the switch. Get some feminized Archive gear before its all gone.

Theres like 6 feminized strains mixed in with a shitload of regulars.

Looks good, why the hot temps?
Heatwave. East of San Diego. Temps have been mid to upper 90's for months. The tent is right by a west facing window....it's sunny every single day. I haven't seen it rain in over 2 months. Even with drapes and a sun visor up, the room still gets a bit warm. I can't keep the Temps under 90 even with central ac going. 3 fans, growing at night, and I can't put the tent anywhere else. I may put it back in the garage for winter. Once these 2 wrap up.
