Yup it’s Gage Green! Midnight Farms Clone House had AMAZING products. This is my 4th plant I’ve gotten from them and they have yet to disappoint.

FLOWER WEEK 6:

I did some more defoliation, removing large fan leaves and those blocking budsites, and began adding Humboldt County’s Own “Purple Maxx” to accentuate the girls anthocyanin. With my homemade AC I can keep nighttime temps in the low-70s to mid-60s. I’m hoping these lower temps coupled with my addition of Purple Maxx will persuade these girls to start showing some color! I can already see hints of purple on the Kush. The Mendo Breath is still much larger than the Purple Animal Kush, which never did end up filling her side of the SCROG screen. On the plus side, this means a lot more lower budsites on the Kush are getting ample amounts of light, so hopefully by sacrificing a completely full side of the screen I’ll end up with denser, larger colas. Overall, these two have been goddamn champs, still not a problem to be had. Wish me luck for the final 4 or so weeks until harvest!

(PS, I included a picture with my LED on and the rest without, so you don’t get confused and think the whole plant went deep purple. I also included a pic from beneath the canopy to highlight my defoliation technique)

In my experience, the cooler the tent, the more purple will show but 60's should be good. I have a Satori plant I am harvesting Wednesday that has been outside and experienced so 40-ish degree nights. She is purple and almost black. Weirdest looking cannabis plant I have grown. I have pics in my 'not so much of a journal' journal. I have to thank you for doing a scrog. I did that a while back and was very happy with my yield and the bud density. For some reason I forgot about doing it even though I use my scrog screen as drying racks. Next grow I am going back to scrog.

In my experience mid 60s and low 70s gets the purple to show. Any lower than that and i have noticed less growth and slower growth rates. I am hooked on scrog.
 
yep. this girl has slowed waaaaaaaayyyy down in growth though i can still see a difference from week to week(i work out of town so i don't get to see the girl every day). i grew some of the prettiest purple the winter of 2015-16. my basement got really cold, like in the low 50's in the tent without lights. the purple/pink buckeye purple was very, very pretty. dumb luck on my part.

Man I only wish I could get my temps that low! 40s would be ideal as I know that’ll trigger those anthocyanins. I know I’d be sacrificing potency, but I’m just attempting to grow something colorful purely to test myself. I’d love to see the pics of yours man!

If you are really into purple, you should pick up some of Firestax Buck-eye Purple. This strain is purple without having to stress your plants out and inhibit growth and potency. This strain has absolutely the most beautiful purple buds of any strain I have ever seen. I have several pics in my outdoor grow journal. The purple is quite different than the purple you get from cold. My Satori purples up quite a bit (mostly the leaves) when it gets cold, but the Buck-eye Purple is purple from the get go, without the stress of too cold.
 
here are some pics. this plant slowly got used to the temps. i would not recommend trying to get the temps down that low for tent grown plants. i am no expert by any means but i would just think that would shock-delica them,



Wow these look crazy! Damn near black! I’m just starting to see the edges of my leaves turning purple, is that where is started on yours?

I missed a lot of this plants growth. I was out of the country for 3 weeks. The black is weird. The trimmed plant looks normal though ( a few purple spots but nothing spectacular). The hemp goddess is right about the buckeye purple though. Buy some seeds if they are available. Melvanetics is the breeder. I think my signature has a link to my buckeye purple grow. Some of the prettiest bud I have ever seen.

Great to know, that’ll be my next grow. Thanks guys!

FLOWER WEEK 7:

I finally started to see some purple! Both the girls are showing their anthocyanins and are starting to purple from the serrated edges of the leaves inward. I’m also seeing sporadic purple spots showing up around the leaves as well as some purpleing of the buds themselves. Still problem free and the girls are eating like their life depended on it! Couple more weeks to go!

FLOWER WEEK 5:

Went out of town for a few days and came back to a forest! Did quite a bit of defoliation and added PK booster to my feeding schedule. I also used some support clips to help out buds that were leaning. All in all the girls still look perfect!
