Just an off topic question but would adding food colouring to my water change the colour of my buds? That would be awesome.

lol ive wondered this to i would imagine that it would as the water is sucked into the plant and thru the veins and the food coloring would stain plant cells altho im not sure if i would wannasmoke food coloring tho but if u dont mind the possable adverse effects then go for it blue or purple maby red would be cool orr black haha designer weed

Never tried watering in food coloring. I did however do a water cure on a harvested nug and was able to only slightly change its color to purple. The bud ended up a much darker green than the hung, jar'd buds from the same plant. Only a couple of the hairs seemed to change color though.

Overall, not something I would do again. Water curing it killed all the wonderful smell and taste.

i've been googling and it goes either way, for one yes there is a no. I would be nice to hear from someone who has tried it. I only have a few weeks left in flowering so i doubt it would make a difference now anyway.

well then thee ya go keep me updated and let me know how it goes man should be awsome plus if u do it now u should have enough time to get a decent coloration in the bud and im guessing when u cure the die should be more distinct cause the clorriphil is being leached out there fore leaving the plant matter and cell walls and stuff so u idk man im high and i really wanna see how this turns out post pics and keep me updated lol

Someone on this site has done this. If I remember correctly it looks good but it smokes badly, tastes terrible. Do a search and I'm sure you'll find it.

Well, you dont want to run an experiment on all your babies... How about trying it out on one and posting the results?

O god the kool aid idea, my buddy had told me thats how you get weed to grow different flavors and smells...even if it worked who would do that.

Im not sure about weed but i did try the food coloring experiment with mushrooms a few years ago and the mycelium picked up none of the coloring, very good at not absorbing the color i was surprised.

I only have one growing now so maybe ill order a cheap seed and try it out once this grow is done. that sounds like a much better idea.

I want no affiliation with you or to support you. But there is a humbolt county ( I think) purple max that must be a "chemical" to make buds and leaves purple.
when da temp iz low no correlation to but relation to
