Bmollyanswered grow question 2 years ago It's important to note that not all plants from purple strains will necessarily exhibit purple coloration. While some cannabis strains are known for their purple hues, the expression of these colors can vary depending on environmental factors and genetic predisposition. In some cases, the plant may develop purple tones towards the end of its flowering stage as temperatures start to drop.
To encourage the development of purple colors, certain conditions can be beneficial. Cooler nighttime temperatures, typically around 10-15°C (50-59°F), can stimulate the production of anthocyanins, the pigments responsible for purple and blue hues. Additionally, providing adequate phosphorus levels during the flowering phase can help enhance color development.
However, it's important to keep in mind that color expression can be influenced by various factors, including genetics and phenotypic variations. While some plants may exhibit vibrant purple colors, others may show minimal or no color change at all. Regardless of color, the most important aspect is ensuring optimal growth and overall health of your plants.
Happy growing, and best of luck with your cultivation!
