it will have sumat do with the flucuation of temps mate u meant to keep temps at day and night within 10c and under the closer temps at night to day the better..sum people make it colder to add clour to buds...

95F will stunt your growth, but KM is right on the money with temp fluctuations that large causing the purple...get some ventilation in there to get that heat out during the day to maintain temps lower than 85F

yeah I don't know about the strain itself being susceptible to color change or not....but I know on my last grow I struggled with high temps during the day, sometimes up to 90 but was right around 68 everynight. I got some purple spots on a few of my nugs as well. It was because of the large gap between day and night temps...it will make a lot of strains change colors.

IT won't improve your nugs in any way, except maybe improve bag appeal...but if it were me I would try and mitigate your temperature changes, as the purple is probably a sign of either too much fluctuation in temps or too low of temps at night

I agree with kevin and massah. Lots of strains tend to show a purplish hue when put into cooler temps. Im currently growing mataro blue and its accually changing to a bluish hue now that I have been lowering the temps. Your plants look kinda BEASTLY man, nice job. Fuck I bet thats going to smoke nice. I dont know if its just me, But I find plants that have lower temps during the flowering stage accually are tastier to smoke.
