Whoa!...I've seen Flo do that,and some Blueberry's and Bubbleberry's,but I have never seen foxtails looking like that.......They look like rope....Amazing pic V Whooops,forgot to quote it.
When I lived in the far north I developed a strain that could withstand 14 degrees for a limited period of time. It got so cold so early I had to do something. The frost could come as early as late Sept.,it took 3 years to finally work out some genetics that I didn't have to worry about. Anyway,as soon as the temps dropped,it turned from green to a dark maroon red OVERNIGHT! The antifreeze factor was in full swing with these babies. I remember waking up to find all the buds covered in ice from freezing rain,the sun came out and melted the ice,the leaves sprang up and turned to the light.not sure, i think it's anthocyanin that is produced as a kind of anti-freeze. there has to be the right genes to get this. others may just die back as they arent as frost hardy?

Funny,I was in N.Idaho @ the time.....perhaps some genetic mingling? I finished work on my frost hardy strain in 2001.The purple-ist plant I ever saw was an outdoor grown plant in Bliss, Idaho circa 1998.. Bliss is about 5000ft elevation down by the Snake River, and evenings get a bit chilly even in summer. Locals called the strain 'blisstic' and said it had been that color for generations. The dried bud was so purple it was basically black. The plant I saw was a great example of the combination of the right genes with the right environment.
Container size- 100 liter....no drain or flush
Strain- G13\HP X Triple Moonshine
Day 72 from onset of flowers.
1\2 had the purps and 1\2 does not.
What is the cause?
And the only thing I flush is the toilet!!

interesting. were the buds still a little smaller on the non-purple one?
if so i would still say that pheno used less P in its end of the tub and so you didnt get such pronounced brown/purple colouring which i think is at least partly due to P def.

Basically the difference between is purple and looks purple.
Well...........conversation took flight because of it,and we got to see your cheesy little plants MJ....Kidding. I do think that on smaller grows it is a good idea to trim off the top buds when they mature. This way it leaves the smaller under developed lower buds to get some extra light and fatten up. You can go another week at the very least with this method...maybe two.I never understood "thread ownership". I started this thread to stimulate conversation, and of course to show some organic plants finishing like they were flushed.
That was my failed seed grow. Yield was superb for two little plantlets. And in such tiny containers, with no feeding (ok, very occasional fish hydrolysate, and had worms living in the pots). I chopped one only halfway, and the bottom buds are now growing. Some failure! I got nice buds, nice shots, and great conversation.
