refrigerating before drying to turn blue????????

[lindst28]

I am growing some blue widow plants and I was told that if I hang the buds inside my refrigerator for 6 hours immediately after I cut them down, it will help turn the buds blue. Does anyone know if this is true? Have you tried it? Am I retarded to think this will work to bring out the blue in my plants?

Fade comes out naturally in some strains... If you flush well enough it should fade on its own... IMO putting cut buds in the refrig wont do anything but keepem fresh...

I agree with JAAM...Maybe if you place the entire plant in the fridge..as the lower temps will bring color change...

Sounds like you been talking to blondeboy!:ignore:

I have always heard to lower the temps at night while budding to make color come out of the purple strains.

Low temps can influence the color.. BUT "IMO" it is a result of the cold temps inhibiting the uptake/utilization of nutrients, and reflecting as a deficiency. "True" purple genetics and the buds are purple. Temp' induced purples show the color "primarily" in the foliage/leaves :IME"

Just curious, can you taste the colour? does the colour make your high better?

I just wonder why colour is so important to some.

That does make sense Hick, I had never thought about it that way.

My car will run regardless of paint job, but we do like to have good looking rides...

Yeah, but does it have to be blue?

I'm kind of with dman--not sure I understand trying to artificially induce color.

Not sure about blue, but generally, most of us want that special purple or red or crystally or whatever. My comment basically means we all try our best to get the best looking product we can.

If you want 'pirdy' flowers, grow roses. If you want the highest quality mj, "don't" starve it of nutrients..

LOl--sorry, but I am with Hick. Those of us that are old/and or have been growing for awhile realize that color means nothing. I can really think of no reason in the world whether it matters what color the bud is if it smokes good.

I have only put my buds in the fridge once and it was because of an emergency chop and I didn't feel like manicuring at midnight on a work night....all it did was buy me time till I cld trim them the next night. I agree with Hick. Any color changes cause by low temps wld most likely be brought on by a deficiency of some sort...true colors are strain dependent and come out naturally as the plant and buds age, but unless you are going for bag appeal why bother....as long as it tastes good and is fire I don't care what the color the buds or leaves are.

I agree wholeheartedly.

I imagine a well-grown plant will most generally look nice as well...I know I like to look at Hammy's porn pics! :hubba:
