Colorful cannabis leaves and buds attract a lot of attention and stun with their beauty, besides, unusual multicolored buds are popular among buyers. But it also happens that the grower does not familiarize himself with the color characteristics of the variety and looks with surprise at the unusual result.

What color can hemp be

Cannabis has an incredibly diverse range of colors. In most cases, this culture has a huge variety of green shades: from light green to dark green. But there are varieties of cannabis that have blue, bluish, pink and purple hues.

Often in search of an unusual variety, growers choose purple marijuana. Has a berry flavor and small size. Ideal for the first grow.

There is also a white variety of marijuana. A strain that has been grown to its maximum potential may appear white or covered in frost. This colored variety of marijuana is extremely popular among experienced rastafans.

What affects the color of cannabis leaves and inflorescence

Gene material directly affects the color of marijuana leaves and inflorescence. This phenomenon is explained by the presence of anthocyanin in the body of hemp.

Anthocyanins are plant pigment cells that are responsible for color. They color flower petals, vegetables, and fruits. They have the ability to photosynthesize.

The color of hemp can also be influenced by external factors. Cannabis will give signals through the color of its leaves. Typically, this happens through growing mistakes made by the grower.

Why does marijuana change color during flowering? Everything is very simple, the daylight hours are reduced, and all the forces go to the development of the fruits. Therefore, the color of the leaves may vary.

How high acidity in the soil affects the color of hemp

Marijuana strains signal elevated pH levels through their leaves. They have an unhealthy green tint and a dull appearance. But before doing anything, you need to make sure how much the pH has deviated from the norm (pH = 5.5-6.5). You can check this with litmus paper or a special device.

First, you need to rinse the substrate with filtered water. Then apply a means to normalize the acid in the soil. This tool can be found in any flower shop.

How air temperature affects the color of hemp

Due to the hot summer days, the plant can easily get burned if the temperature is above +35C. Burns are easy to notice, yellow spots appear on the leaves, which grow, then the leaves curl and die.

The color of hemp leaves changes to dark green when the temperature drops to +10C. Sativa may lose some of the crop, and indica will steadfastly pass the test without loss.

Colored varieties of marijuana are in great demand in the market.
