purple weed ?

[Bree1978]

The pink is caused by CFL lighting. I read this on Volker's thread and to my surprise noticed it happinging in some of my buds. Like Stinky mentioned it is not related to taste. :jointsmile: Bree

When a normally-colored cannabis plant shows any color BESIDES green, it is caused by the chlorophyll breaking down and exposing the other -phylls.

This is the same reason that cold temps tend to turn buds purplish, and the reason maple trees turn red in fall, and the reason nitrogen-deficient plants go yellow.

It's just the chlorophyll being destroyed and not replaced by the plant.

very true stinky... its just that green happens to be the dominant color of plant matter... so when that plant matter is healthy and growing... it is green.

Nitrogen def... at the end of flower... but only if the plant produces the 'purple-phyll', not just the 'yellow-phyll' lol
(they have names but I'm too lazy to look them up this morning)

i heard that weed can go prup if it gets cold, what you think about that Stinky?

Or is that true if it has inherent purple tendencies?

Both true.
Not all bud will turn purple in the cold.
If the plant inherently has the ability to make the purple pigment, cold temps will promote the visiblity of the purple color.

makes you wonder about what all can effect the flavor and color... not just the high.
