Well, I don't see why you want them to be purple. There's no benefit, it won't get you any higher.
If you drop the temp at the end of harvest, like freezing.
OR
You buy yourself a can of purple spray paint.
That, might, actually get you higher.

purps have some great bag appeal IMO. i live over a day from any coast so i rarely ever see it though. around here you can charge out the ass for anything purple even though it really doesn't mean much.

I heard that if you use like food coloring and put it in the water and water the plants with the water and food coloring combined into one it will turn that color of the food coloring but how true this is I have no clue.

Lol, if you have a bag of purple weed, yes it looks pretty, but thats it. There are very few strains out there that are actually "purple". Most of the time it is because the plants are stressed with lower temps during the flower period, dropping temps to between 40-50 degrees. Or its likely from the plants having a phosphate defficiancy, which will also impart a purple color to the plants, usually starting with the stems. If you do get a strain that is genetically purple, you still may not get purple plants, it depends on what phenotype of that strain you end up getting!!
Purple weed is only for bag appeal, it isn't stronger, and depending on how it is "made" purple, it may actually have less resin production, due to the stress, and lower temps which also slow growth, and starving a plant of phosphate is just dumb!! If you want killer weed, then grow killer weed! If you want purple, then you need to do serious research on the strain you are gonna grow, and find one that has purple phenotypes, and cross your fingers. Any other way is counter productive!

I've never heard of the food coloring thing with pot, but it does work with other vascular plants!

Well I am not sure if it varies by plant but I mean nature is nature a plant is a plant so maybe it would work maybe it would not.
I might try and put green food coloring in the water and see if the plant turns green....oh wait.

fuck what rappers say. I order purps or blues or berries online cuz of how they look. I love growin, n bein able to grow a rare strain - well at least rare to my area -is a great thing man. So when i order, im gonna order the dankiest lookin, higher yielding, mind blowing strains that they have in stock. ordering BB, Twilight, Purple Haze, Pruple Wreck, White Berry, ect.. Has nothing to do with following fads, at least on my end. I havent listened to new rap since The Chronic 2001 came out - well, that n pretty much anything KMK puts out too, lol.
Im on the hunt for as many rare strains i can find, n ima stock pile them fuckers until ive had my fill. That way i can always, ALWAYS have chronic that nobody else has. Simple as that man.
