I try to be lmao Hey man I’ve heard a lot of old schoolers saying this trick works it’s not hurting the plants and I can’t get my temps cold enough to do it naturally with air temperature so it was worth a shot lol..Plus it kinda made sense to me considering I’ve seen plants turn purple due to being in cold climate..
I do agree it is a sign of stress.Just feel it was worth the experiment.All I wanted was some purple tint is that to much to ask for?Yer your going to hear a lot of dumb stuff you should avoid. That colour you seek actually means nothing to the bud or high and merely a product of plant stress
You don't ice the root zone (at least I've never heard that, doesn't make much sense either, you cool the foliage. High 50s, low 60s should do if it's a purple strain.
I’d have to say this would make a lot more sense. I’ve been struggling to keep the tent at 75 during the lights on due to the hps tent being in the same small room.Id really like to suck some cold air from outside I’ve just been to lazy I guess..Thanks for the reply man I appreciate the input..Some people like to laugh or diss something because they haven’t tried it or it isn’t what they do..I’ve had several great grows and this was just something I wanted to test and see for myself.The plants are not hurting from it so I didn’t see the problem with trying.And like I said I feel the buds have really started to swell up and get dense so again no harm no foul.
I don’t think I’d try that either lmao
At least I’m not the only one that’s heard this lmao
its not ice but somtimes we drop our aircon down to 6 c after the 8th week of flower for 2 weeks 2 get a purple tone
The color of the bud is genetic, not from stress.
It has to be genetic to turn in the first place, but sometimes you have to induce that stress to get it to show in my experience. I have had blueberries that will stay green unless they get a cold spell.
You can force a lot of green strains to get some purple in late flower with cool root temps, that said the purple is just on the bud sugar leaf not the calyx as a genetic purple strain can do.
Meth is the answer to all your problems and welcome to RIU
Lest we not forget that green is the most efficient colour and any other colours reduce that. Anthrocyanin can be simply classed as an osmoregulator and is present in many higher plants.
I got four and a half oz off the last lemon kush I did and honestly I feel these lemon are far more dense then last time so hopefully the yield isn’t effected to much.Out of the three strains the lemon was my least favorite but I didn’t know that when I was making clones lol My gorilla glue 4s are by far my favorite. I can’t wait to flip these cause their gonna be awesome.I plan on flipping three after the lemon are done and ima veg the other two longer and then finish them in the five by five.Theu will also be scrogged..They May look a little droppy cause they needed water when I took the picture lol
