    Currently have a Gelato grow on and want to attempt to bring iut the best colours i can. Ive read up that its done by lowering the lights off temps in late flower/flush. How low are we talking and for how many hours and days? Any help would be great. Cheers

    If it’s a good gelato it will go purple on its own,as I remember gelato has grand daddy purple in its genetics.
    It's nice to be nice.

    if it's a good to smoke i wouldn't worry so much about it's color
    lowering the temp can force a color change by restricting the uptake of phosphorus

    ain't nothing wrong with your Green gelato as is, very tasty looking

    then drop the temp to around 11c and do it for a few days in a row
    that'll stop the phosphorus and change there color through a deficiency

    Merry xmas my friend and enjoy ya great looking buds
