how to turn purple

Yes, I have learned that lesson a few times in the past so I'm willing to go to whatever length they ask of me. We've come this far already and it would be a pleasure to tend to these girls as long as they want me to. I love 'em!

I think I'll water it with cold water for the last 2 weeks to make it purple. do such situations greatly reduce the harvest?

Yes such situation are not ideal for harvest.
Just better luck next time. Pop more seeds to get better variance in phenotypes find a purple cultivar and keep it or find a tried and try purple clone someone else has already hunted through beans to find purple dominance.

here’s my purple. Temps never go below 78F and high as 86F. No strange watering. Not a fall color fade but real purps in the genetic makeup.

Also just for the comparison I had other green phenotypes that were WAY more potent but barely any purps at all

That's usually the case. Colors look nice but they don't add anything and are often less than a green phenotype of the same strain. ACE PCK is like that as well. Beautiful colors. Purple and reds. Could be used in a flower garden for decorative purposes. But the green is more potent and better in all aspects.

"Green PCK: Our best green PCK mother, selected in 2009. It stands out because it is higher yielding, more resinous and more powerful than the PCK colorful phenos. The yield is average-high with a flowering time of 8-9 weeks. "

All that might do is change the color of the fan leaves. It's not going to give you purple buds once they're dried and it isn't going to be good for the plant.


Genetics is how you get purple bud.

i have a fiend that always feeds only his mother of berries maine clone with cooler water the last week. he swears its sweeter and turns the bud magenta color. on that strain only
 
Step 1. Bring beetroot and 3 cups of water to simmer in a small saucepan over medium low heat,
Cook til beets have lost their vibrant red color and liquid is reduced by about a third.
Step 2 . Remove beets with a slotted spoon add sugar to beet liquid and simmer, swirling pan occasionally, until
very deep red reduced to a cup , works with cakes (icing sugar)

I have some purple kush regs growing outdoor right now, and the short day hours have triggered flowering. I have bright purple male flowers showing on a couple of plants. I figure the other few are females, as they generally take a bit longer to show. I'm pretty happy that the males are so purple so early, as they will be good for a purp breeding project I have planned.

You get the most entertaining comment of the week award :razz: bongsmilie

Marketing. I have heard of plants with a maybe ~10% phenotype being named “purple ____”.
You could always stick your plants in a walk-in reefer until they get frostbite if you swear it will turn purple.

Genetics, breeders, maybe a few tricks here and there, and luck play about as equal a part in achieving those “mad purpz” as temperature.


TLDR: Takes a bit of work and time, unless you get lucky.

Yeah I just grew 3 Mac Muffin from tastebudz and only 1 seed was actually purple, all the phenos were entirely different.

#1 Medium stretch, lemon/gas/lime smelling buds in flower, no purple
#2 Medium stretch, Grapey skittle smell, some purple showing in week 8
#3 HUGE Stretch, grapey skittle smell, turned purple as the budlets formed and has only gotten more and more purple as it grows.
Here is Mac Muffin #3 from Tastebudz, Note the light hanger holding the cola outwards so it doesn't get torched by the light.
