The Secret to Get Deep Purple Leaves and Buds
It will be great beautiful if deep purple appears on your maturing connabis plants and buds. What is the secret to getting connabis with deep purple leaves and buds? Here are tips for getting this to happen:
The right strain/genetics
The tendency to turn purple is greatly affected by strain/genetics, so you can’t force any plant to produce purple buds. However, you can purchase seeds or strains that naturally turn deep purple, and there are tricks to maximize their genetics and bring out extra colors on your buds.
Nutrient-rich soil or substrate
It is very essential for connabis plants to have all of the necessary macro- and micro-nutrients in order to develop strong leaves with intense colors. Using a rich, well-balanced soil is a great choice since the nutrients in the soil are made available to the plants and the plants really require them – this is much better than giving a heavy infusion of nutrients via fertilizers, which could cause nutrient burn.
Adequate and proper lighting
Adequate and proper lighting is the most important factor to stimulate anthocyanin and chlorophyll in leaves and flowers. As we know, red light and blue light are important for connabis growth and flowering. They are described as peaking around 440 nm and 620 nm. The action of so-called “chlorophyll a” demonstrates a peak at 430 nm and 662 nm, while “chlorophyll b” is driven by 453 nm and 642 nm light. Red light promotes flowering, while blue light is your secret weapon for amping up the concentration of oils and resin.
Therefore, choosing a quality light with the right spectrums is also very essential to boost leaves and buds into deep purple.
