Yea thats been helping too. Im also setting ice packs on the dirt in the pot. Like I said its not doing much but im getting a bit of red and purple color on the leaves. Has anybody ever heard of putting a plant in the freezer?

Yea I usually wouldnt do that. But this is kind of an experimental plant for me and its only like 1 foot tall. She has some decent little buds tho.

If you leave it in too long, you will kill it

If they are meant to turn purple, they will. Just leave them be.

ya the cold temps outside did that to my plants...it was probably only like in the 40's or 50's so.......
i wouldn't put it in the freezer cuz that would be TOO cold! maybe try the fridge?.....but not for too long Good Luck!

cold temps at night are the only way to do it and even then not all plants will turn purple in cold weather anyway...i had one turn purple but none of the others did

i picked this stuff up at a hydro store, but never got around to using it. i plan on trying it out on a couple of plants next season. its pretty expensive stuff and runs about $30 for the smallest bottle. i think this is also and experimental product, and before using it i would do some reading on it.
