Purple marijuana is attractive and unusual

Every person, no matter who he works and whatever he does, definitely wants to stand out, have or come up with something original that only he or a limited number of people have. Cannabis growers are no exception, which, it turns out, can be not only green, but also have a variety of shades and colors, for example, purple. Inflorescences with blue and even pink hues can also be found.

Unusual colors arouse genuine interest among cannabis lovers. However, it must be borne in mind that just like that, by any artificial means, it is impossible to make the plant turn the color that the grower wants. It all depends on genetics. But you can pick up a variety prone to unusual coloring and grow it to the delight of yourself and friends.

Parts of a plant that are stained

There are certain parts of the plant that can be a different color, such as purple. These include:

stamens (hairs); the color will be lost a little during drying and curing, but still, a certain percentage will remain;

cups of inflorescences; it is their color that has the greatest influence on the overall color of the inflorescences;

leaves; under certain conditions, they can change shade or even color;

trichomes; have little effect on the color of the inflorescences.

Usually, quite colorful cannabis buds look like this, because they are made up of different parts. It happens that only the stamens turn purple, and the leaves with inflorescences remain green. The flower calyxes that make up the inflorescence can be purple in varying degrees. An inflorescence consists of several hundred of these calyxes, which have the greatest influence on how the finished product will be colored. The presence of even a few calyxes of purple and purple in the inflorescence will already affect the fact that the bump will have an off-green color. Under certain conditions, first of all, the maximum increase in the light flux that hits the bush, cannabis leaves can also change color and partially or completely change the hue to purple.

What can be done to make the inflorescences purple

The first step is to buy a cannabis strain (eg Blueberry strain) that has a genetic tendency towards purple coloration. In addition, you can try to take a few more actions that will help the inflorescences turn purple. Such actions include the following:

the choice of a darker variety; in this case, the dried inflorescences will retain a maximum of unusual and original color;

temperature regime; make sure that the daytime temperature is high enough, and at night it is much lower. The temperature contrast contributes to the desired effect;

enhance lighting so that dyes are produced in greater quantities;

monitor the pH in the root zone; some varieties of cannabis may change color to purple depending on the specific pH value.

Of course, you can always say that this is already overkill, but growers, who are no longer content with simply growing and harvesting a good, quality crop, are trying something new, experimenting with plants, thus enjoying what they managed to do in the process. growing different varieties of cannabis.
