Had a bit of a cool snap, but not quite a frost, mid 30s I guess.
Anyway, the clones I had out, close to harvest time, are turning purple. They are due to be harvested this weekend so not too concerned.
At first though, I freaked! They looked black in the early morning light and it WAS cold enough to take out all the basil I still had going.
Funny thing is, another set of clones about 2 weeks or so behind these, just got a little purple, and just on some leaves.
Guess the closer to harvest the more this effect? Perhaps I'll see with the second batch of clones, but I got a feeling we'll get a frost and I'll have to harvest early.
The first batch, harvested before the cold snap, showed no purple color at all. I guess the purple strains turn purple without cold?
It's a un-named indica of some sort (bag seed), pretty sure 100% (grown indica before), and I know about the indicas turning purple from the cold, Just never seen it before.
