Cooling tent to bring out colors

Hey all, looking for advice on dropping my grow tent’s temperature at night to bring out bud/leaf colors. What temperature target did you use for how many days? Did you feel like dropping the temperature helped bring out colors? My tent runs in the high 60s during the day and right around 60 at night with the lights off. I’m planning on pulling in cool night air to bring down the tent’s temperature. Thank you for any advice

What kind of lights are you using that you have daytime temps in the high 60's ? As far as temps to help bring out the colors think about what a outdoor plant goes through in the fall..

Don't waste your time worrying about it, if a plant is going to throw a colour it will do it if you let it go long enough. Last run I was finishing flower in the middle of summer, temps were at 95-100 some afternoons in the tent, plants still went purple as expected going off their lineage.

Your temps make it so I wouldn't bother.
The real key is how long you Bloom for. Give them an extra 2 weeks, and you'll get color if they have the trait.
You should basically run 2 weeks longer then the breeder report anyway.
That in my eye is one of the most wide spread problems around here. people don't really know or understand that running a plant to finish does NOT involve counting days and stopping at some given point on days rather then letting them finish to their "true" potential..

You aren't running the same environment as the breeder. It makes that much difference.

I'd spend more time getting my lights on heat levels up to the low 70's!

Just simply water your plants with cold water and the colours will easily come out, if it is in their genes.
