Changing Bud Color!!!

[vchapmansr]

Is there anyway that you can change the appearance/color of the bud? If so, what do I have to do? I'm new to growing, so I would appreciate the insight. Thanks fellas

get the strain that is known for bud colour (ie blue Barry?)

WILL THIS WORK WITH MARIJUANA STRAINS

Food coloring water evaporates from the surface of the plants leaves and petals. As this happens the plant draws water from the ground through its roots (or from the vase through the stem in this case). This process is called "transpiration".

The plant draws water through little "tubes" or vein-like structures called "xylem". And much like veins, the xylems are thick in the stem, and spread out in branch-like form along the leaves.

In this case, the flower draws coloured water through the xylem, and this dyes the flower petals!

Lowering the temps help a bit last week or two of flowering especially with indicas

Temps and genetics are your only sane choices- you'd be looped to want to dye something meant to be smoked... yikes.

My friend told me of a product that supposedly helps turn it darker greens, or even purple...but I personally think it's a crock of shit, right along with the fact that people will pay more for bud that has purple tones to it - just has to do with temps most of the time.

You can buy humboldt county purple maxx. Its suppose to bring out vibrant colors in strains of marijuana that have a tendancy to color.

i heard of a product that helps a purple strain turn purple but nothing else

I'm with StinkyA on this.
Natural is so much better.

With Humboldt County Purple Maxx I thought it was all natural, all organic.
