I am ordering soma's lavender fem seeds, and plan on growing 3 of them this summer. I really want these buds to be a deep purple, so I was wondering if this method makes sense. Since i'll be growing during the summer, I really have to work on getting a nice ventilation set-up in my closet to keep the temps low, but what about the ice cube thing? I did some research and found this tip on rollitup: Somas' "Lavender" review. - Marijuana Growing If you don't want to check it out, his explanation for it is: "If you are looking for a purple strain to wow your buddies or your Cannabis Club, than look no further. It is an eight week strain that really begins to develope a beautifull grape jelly purple color if given cold nights 2 weeks till harvest, I also put ice on top of the soil and let the rootzone get cold, this stunts the uptake of potassium/phosphorus causing the purple effect." Any thoughts? I couldn't find any threads regarding this topic btw edit: I meant flowering** not harvest
yea, he's from humboldt too apparently but i was just looking for someone else who has some experience with this method.
Hows it a purple strain if you have to give it cold nights to induce the purple color? Nature doesnt do that for the plant. I cant beleive the other guys didnt say something about my point. Common sence told me that. "It is an eight week strain that really begins to develope a beautifull grape jelly purple color if given cold nights 2 weeks till harvest" Lots of plants do that when you give them cold nights.
I'm pretty sure it'll have some purple, lavender hints regardless of temps/methods but this will intensify the purple color, giving it a deeper look so you can be sure.
