colouring plants?

[Savedbythesmell]

I know this has been discussed but i didnt exactly find an answer.

Im trying to dye my plant(s)

im starting with one write now.
it is not hydroponic.

it is an organic plant.
if i spray the soil with grape kool aid or something will it give it a rich purple color andor a sweet taste/smell like the kool aid?

you couldn't do it by adding color to the nutes

you CAN do it by leaving your buds in a cup of food coloring mixture (after chopping them)

and as reported it WILL taste like kaka.

I believe fdd2blk is one person who tried this, and reported it to be "NASTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

This is how I color my plants purple. (hope it helps)

I take purple spray paint and dillute it with water like half and half. Then I mix it up and get the water a nice purple color. Then you put that in a spray bottle and foliar spray your plants 4 times a day for the last 2 weeks of flowering

I know i know. Your thinking "spray paint? that would really fuck my plants up" but thats where the water comes in. When you mix it with water all the harmful chemicals are removed so you don't even gotta worry about it

i get what you mean.


its not so much for the taste.

its just a nice little experiment im trying.

ok I was fuckin with you earlier dude so heres my real answer.

Food coloring is proven to be a bad idea because of the taste of it. That makes sense.
so you really shouldn't waste your time with that.

As for the grape koolaid I would try something like grape juice concentrate because its more natural.
So if you were planning on putting it straight into the dirt you are planning wrong. If you didn't end up with bugs or mold the roots wouldn't absorb the color just the water and nutrients from it.

You are better off, directly after harvesting stick the ends of the branches into the grape concentrate(maybe diluted a little bit) and let them absorb the stuff that way.

Idk if it will taste any better than food coloring but its proven that you can color buds it just tastes like shit. this is the same concept using a different coloring solution.

hmmmm.......

 

[Tryingtomastrkush]

lol im really not fuckin with you this time man

I'm pretty sure you're gonna invite stuff like bugs, and some sort of fungus by spaying sugar water over your plants. None the less your gonna have a sticky situation... literally

 

[Savedbythesmell]

ill quit then....

The best way would be to experiment w/ the actual buds, and not the plant as it's growing.

Stress your plant... Get the temperature to 3 degrees celsius that will turn it purple but dont let it get colder than that... In flowering stage
