Although purple coloring is a great marketing point, purple is just a color, not a sign of quality. It doesn't change the aroma, flavor, trichome spacing or effects. It's like the difference between an aromatic red rose, and an aromatic yellow one. They are both roses, and the only difference is color.

Yes, in colder temps, if she has the 'purple' genetics, she'll color-up. Careful with the cold though, it can stress her into producing male nanners.

Any chance of a picture of the underside of the leaves...?
Have you looked at the underside of the leaves? Plants with deficiencies, where the stems start turning purple, won't have purpling on the undersides of the leaves, in my experience. I've been growing Potent Purple (early ReeferMan strain) for over 5 years now, and if anything...it's ok. Nothing to 'shout from the rooftops' about, but it get's you high. :thumbsup:

hey, looking at your pictures again, have you checked your ph run-off lately? cause i see a little upside down cupping on some of your leaves. low ph could cause that plus that purple stem. still looks great but check that ph!

hey guys thanks again for the advice :) really appreciate it!! im searching at the moment on tips of how to LST your plant so thanks again! we make sure the ph level of the food we give them is 6.8. HOWEVER, this digital ph tester we bought came UNCALIBRATED, meaning we had to put it in water that had a PH of 7, and twist a screw so that it says ph7. the only thing is that we never had water that CAME at a ph of 7, so we used rain water to calibrate it......think that worked??

as far as a pic of the underside Rusty Trichome, i dont have one with me but heres the closest pic I have. Really when you look under the leaves they look extremly healthy with and beautiful green. Heres also a update on her :)

what size pot she in? that kinda looks like a small pot for her. next time also fill that pot up to the brim. you dont want any stagnent air to be lurking in there. it could cause mold.

man well really as far as fertilizers i go to EPA or any big hardware/garden store that has fertilizers and i go for the german brand that comes with guano mixed in. as far as the other stuff its kinda hard to get here. you can find it but really you can find the rest there in EPA. ground kelp im not too sure of. And i know where to find the House and Garden products:thumbsup:along with lights and other stuff if you´re looking for that too.
hope that helped that man:thumbsup:
