Daytime temps are in the 60s all week (when they have lights out), so I'm not sure if they are going to get much more purple before harvest.

Temperature impacts color? I've never heard that before, so please explain a little for this newbie here :) :)

When your plants are deficient in phosphorus, this can overall reduce the size of your plants. Not enough causes slow growth and causes the plant to become weak, to little amount of Phosphorus causes slow growths in leaves that may or may not drop off. The edges all around the leaves or half of the leaves can be brownish and work its way inwards a bit causing the part of the leaves to curl up in the air a bit. Fan leaves will show dark greenish/purplish and yellowish tones along with a dullish blue color to them. Sometimes the stems can be red, along with red petioles that can happen when having a Phosphorus deficiency. This isn’t a sure sure sign of you having one though, but can be a sign. Some strains just show the red petioles and stems from its genes.
So pretty much the overall dark green color with a purple, red, or blue tint to the fan leaves is a good sign of a Phosphorus deficiency. Having Cold weather (below 50F/10C) can make phosphorous absorption very troublesome for plants.

From what I have seen. They definitely got more purple when the temps were 10 - 15F cooler.

Aah, so it isnt good to do it, but if those temps happen, it CAN do it. :) I thought you figured out some new way to make phenos more purpley. :) I've never had a single colored plant in my life. Just orange hairs and stuff like that. =)

Good thing people like purples, otherwise they'd deduct money for a phos deficient plant lol :)

Exactly. It doesn't help, and it can hurt a bit. But some people love to overpay for that purple stuff.

when are people going to look at trichomes as opposed to colors of the fan leaves?! haha however i have to admit i have seen a couple strains w/ purple bracts which look dope

i don't know who makes the seed, but sourberry is in front of me (from high times) and the bud is clearly purple w/ green leaves dried into it
