Try it out... please let us know how it goes...
I remember there was one guy a couple of months ago here, talking about his experiences using food coloring to, well, color his buds.
Very interesting idea.
I know many of you would want your buds completely "natural"... but, what the hell... information is good. :)
to enhance purples, you should lower rom temps down to 59-60 degrees...I would not put Ice in my rez...freeze dried roots---shock---trichome production????????????????????

p.s....It is pretty but, purple does not make it taste, smoke
better, or get you any higher. imho:smokin:

and no i dont mean dump a lot of ice, more like 5 or so ice cubes in the res before lights turn off...
That would mean you ripping people of selling them fake purple...
Thats low.
^ agreed
from what i understand people are atracted to purple is because it is asociated with quality because of great strains like purple kush (even tho i hate kush), and twilite (sp), but also purpleing can come from a change in cl,limate to cold or starting with cold climate, so people who say purple is good or people who say purple is bad are both wrong it really depends, personly i dont bother with purple with the exeption of purple ercle (havent goten my hands on twilite but very interested) so becare ful when buying purple do some resurch on acual purple strains and chech other signitures of the strain other than its ovious color witch i hope from this thread you learn that thew colour doesnt mean shit
this will not work i am sorry to say. i used to put two gatorade bottles with frozen water into my res keeping the water at around 55 degrees and still no color. i did it b/c of the heat in my room was heating up my res and messin with the roots. also putting just plain ice in the res will throw off the PH as it is just plain water, thats why i put in frozen gatorade bottles. good thought though. the food coloring idea i believe would not work. i read that theory on OG a while back and it turned out that roots only take up water and nutrients, not anything with a flavor or color to it. remember if the bud yorue growing is tasty and potent enough the purple doesnt even matter. as latewood said the color has nothgin to do with taste smell or potency.
cheers,

I don't see anything bad with coloring your buds to make them sell better... none at all...
I mean... if we wanted to go full out... you shouldn't be selling "chemical" buds... only "organics".
So, IMO, it's all relative.
As to the food coloring... I can believe that in OverGrow people said it wouldn't work.
But make a search... there was a guy here a couple of months ago saying that it actually did work. And that's good enough for me...
I think it is great...I wasn't cutting you down. I did not know where you were coming from. Hell yeah, if you want to make it purple for people! that's just Plain "marketing"!
a note: True Blueberry does not turn Blue unless you lower the temps dramatically...So in turn, One can argue that...If a grower lowers the temps to manipulate the plant to turn Purple...Well then, by God...It's Purple.
as far as the food color, I have seen piks where the grower had violet pistil's and claimed, he did it with food color. All I can say in judgement of this issue, Is, Why would you claim to have made the violet pistil's, If you could claim to have grown/engineered them? Just a theory/query. peace. lw

plant color is more genetics and cold temperatures the last 3 weeks or so but ice in a res will only give them more oxygen. Cold water will hold more oxygen then warm water will.
As was said before it's more of the cold temperatures with lights on and off that will bring out the color.
