You’ve all seen the pictures. The resinous, glossening cover shots of high times that show giant buds of strains like GDP, F-13, Flo, and Grape Ape. Now you want to figure out how you can produce these high quality buds you see in the magazines. Here are my tips for producing purple buds…
1. Get the right genetics. You don’t want to save a few bucks and get that GDP clone at your local dispensary because it will likely end up being the Grand Daddy Green – with one purple bud, and the rest green weed. Spend the big bucks, get good seed from a breeder like DJ Short and grow yourself some fat purple bud sticks.
2. Lower your night time temps in your grow room if you are an indoor pot grower. If you are growing inside, turn your A/C down at night into the low 60′s this will result in significant purpling of the leaves and buds. If you are an outdoor grower, wait as long as possible to harvest your buds, the later you harvest the more color your plants will have. If you are in a greenhouse, let some fresh cool air in at night during the few weeks before harvest.
