These plants have had a hard run. I've been under watering all through flower. Had to strip all the leaves bc they were dead and crispy.
Why would the light facing side of these buds turn purple, but under its still green?

I think it's something to do with the light maturing the colas. I've noticed this with buds that were buried under the canopy. It's like when they are light green down low compared to the darker green colas of a non purple strain.

I know what you're talking about. Some of those ones down at the bottom or caught between other large buds are always a brighter fresher type of green. And in the same way the purple is just a sign of it maturing and the undersides that get less light are maturing slower. That makes sense. This is the first purple plant I've had. I didn't even know this thing was going to turn purple. It surprised me at first, I thought it was dying or something. Thank you for the help.

Is it normal for the smell to die down? There was a point when it was stinking up the whole building. Now the other one smells more. Do they smell less as they mature?

Think of it like a farmers tan. Parts of your body that are exposed to the sun are darker than the areas that are hidden beneath clothing all the time

Yeah happens a lot with led I’ve noticed. They can go to purple in a day or two

Sorry for this newbie question, but is it just the lights that's causing the purple or the genetics and the led is just accelerating it?

Seems more genetic since my plants with no purp genetics don’t turn purple but even a smaller amount of purple seems to come through way easier with led
