Easy, just drop your box temps to ~48 degrees.

Re: Stealth, Soil, HID, Smart Pot, SCROG, GDP - First Grow
I was half joking but I wouldn't suggest doing that for real. When I first got my clones I noticed some purple stripes in the stems and when I was looking up what caused it, came across a bunch of posts all over the internet about leaves turning colors (purple) when plants were exposed to cold temps. There are many factors for the coloring but I am sure the gurus here can explain better than I can.
I do remember reading about a guy who shortened his light cycle to 10/14 a few weeks before harvest to mimic the shorter days of fall. It triggered the phytochromes (spell check please) to slow down the Chlorophyll production and caused the leaves to change...Now this could be waaaay off, but it sounded good enough to remember, hey.. I'm NEW.

I seem to remember something similar to that too as far as the temps are concerned.
The light thing seems like it might stress the plant if it isn't done gradually. I'd hate to hermie this late into flower.

Lowering temps at night to the 50's can trigger the purple effect. I suspect that primarily most of the purp on the market isn't actual purp, just weed that has had the colder temps. Most of the Humboldt products turn purple when they are grown outside because of the cool morning weather...
Purpleing is also indicative of P (def) in the plant...
(ASSUMPTION NOT FACT)= I think the purpleing in cold weather might have something to do with P uptake also.... not confirmed just a thought... cold inhibits growth... could be uptake of Phosphorus also????? going to check...
I know for a fact that the later you leave the plant the more colors you get. I have this old girl I have been abusing and multi-harvesting and she is turning purple now... its the weather and the way I treat her... lol.

I got these up on my journal but wanted to share this pic with you GF...
That falls under the "Bugs you can eat, they are so big, category."

Uhhhh...I think that falls into the "Bugs that can eat you" category!

Day 76 - Flowering Day 29
Quick update...I don't know if I'm seeing things or not but the girls look bigger and thicker this morning.
The buds sites seem to be filling out nicely...you tell me..am I seeing things??
After the flush and light nutes yesterday, things look awesome Behind the Green Door!!
The rh was between 40 and 71 yesterday even though I flushed. I'll strengthen up the nutes over the next week.
I'd LOVE to see these buds get really thick...Jessica seems to have gotten much thicker in the last 2 days...
Pics!
Jessica's got buds like this all over. I still think she's going to go longer than the gdp but...who cares.
The weather is supposed to turn warm over the next few days..I've got plenty of ventilation and this will be an interesting test for the box. I hope I can keep the temps in control during this warm few days..

It was, past tense. It was an AK cross. Grew as big as a 10 foot Christmas tree in 1/2 a summer , others were like 15 feet.

They aren't big, big yet but they are getting fatter than they were just days ago..I have a feeling, if all things stay the same, that this will be some pretty good herb...
It will be the first really successful grow I've ever had. I've grown "weed" outdoors when I was younger but it never looked like this!

They are definitely more pungent than they have been but nothing that I can't control with carbon filters and an ona bucket....
They are looking way tasty!!
Here's to the finish line!!

Sweet! Pretty exciting when you finish harvesting and drying and you have a whole shelf of glass jars filled up with bud that you harvested yourself. Kinda gives a guy permagrin...
