Two days ago i notice some purple colour on stems and on some pistils.. i would like to ask how long gonna take to turn foul purple?
Seeds are from auto mix pack and there is a chance to find purple strains. I grow outdoors

I have a knack for turning plants purple. Is it the Iron or sulphur in my smelly well water? Is it the cold nights? Do the minerals in my local earth soil have something to do with turning cannabis purple? Whatever it is works for me. I grew Blackstrap from Gnome Automatics and the plants looked burgundy colored. Not just the buds but the sugar leaves and the edges of the fan leaves. It dried and cured almost black. I'm smoking it now. It tastes like grapes or candy but kind of licorice flavored. It's the first cultivar that I actually tasted these things. Interesting.

If the leaves turned black it sounds genetic.
Did the pistils turn purple?
I don't think pistils turn purple from genetics or cold temps. Purple pistils described by the OP are more likely to be phytoplasma.
Won't know till we see pics.

Mostly genetics in my experience.

First one is Blackstrap which is supposed to be purple/black. The second one is Blueberry which is not normally these colors.
Cool results in any case.20230603_094043.jpg

First one looks good … second looks like a molybdenum deficiency
Where can I get some molybdenum? I screwed up the grow royaly and still got a decent yield. I had too heavy soil in xl Autopots and drowned them. Not realizing that Overwatering was the problem, I started pouring all sorts of crap on them and eventually they stopped growing. So now I know more than I did 90 days ago. Grow and learn. The Blueberry is from Fast Buds.

Since we are coming into summer and temps raising you won't see it again until fall when temps drop enough.
I grow photoperiods outside year-round in southern California.

4 Harvests per year and 2 sets will show purple if the genetics have it. Some go full purple and some just a partial purple change. The fall set harvest is Jan 1st and will show. The winter set harvest is March 15th, and it too will have purple showing
