When will my blueberry turn blue?

Put some food coloring in your feed water. It'll change the color of your bud. Not sure if its good for you or the plant. I did some experimenting and was able to make some red buds. I'll see if I can find a picture...

Why not just grow a strain where the color is genetic if you want color?

I have grown grape og and the colors were beautiful, Xts, simply gorgeous

Very late in flower the fan leafs on some plants get very pretty with tints of purple along with the yellowing but the buds only get a tiny bit and once it's cut you can't notice.

Yes I agree as when the sun is high and you get angle the fan leaves do have a tint of blue. I also tried a gorilla glue #4 but she's like a stunted for some reason but she is budding and can just hope that the weather warms up, and also have a pink kush and she is pretty nice but just starting to bud but again just gotta hope for the best...

I have actually heard of that and you can edible dye, but like you said not sure what it would do to quality and yield, but I'm sure you make some uniquely colored plants... Water them red for two weeks blue the following and so on...

Food coloring does work.



But I agree. Its silly. Growing a purple strain is the way to go.

I remember doing the science experiment in grade school with food coloring and celery. Blue celery, red celery. Still just food coloring but still neat at the time.

There are strains that grow beautiful colors naturally. That's the only way to grow colorful weed as far as I'm concerned.

I have 5 beautiful blueberry girls about a week from the chop but they are still as green as can be except for some slight nitrogen depletion (normal in the final stage of life). Please don't post an answer if you don't have first hand knowledge of when, how or why they turn blue. I really want to see some blue leaves on these babies; that was what turned me on to grow this strain in the beginning.

My ladies leaves turned blue late in the season the first year I grew that strain. I grew from seed outside, they turned blue in one night. From Barrie Ontario here's an attachment. So who ever told you they don't turn blue didn't try hard enough. And they do taste and smell beautifully sweet.

Its a shame that all Blueberry sellers show the blue/purple color phenos in their pics.....Almost false advertising.

This is the second year from this strain of blueberry. I'm just north of Toronto Ontario and in one night these girls turned from green to this color of blue. And man are they smooth tasting. The potency is not what they should be but sweet and smooth as hell for indica.

things have come a long way in ten years
