Colored Live Pistils

[Shmavis]

I had a seed plant catch my eye. I grew a cut of her to make seeds with. Neither of those two grows of her produced pink pistils. Now, a cut of her outdoors is expressing pink. Also outdoors is three of her daughters from the seed making round. One of the three just started showing pink hues a couple days ago. Nothing yet from the other two. Interesting that twice this trait did not show indoors, but does outdoors. From seed she flowered under LED and as a seed making mother, under HPS. Curious now to see the frequency of pink in her progeny, or if it will express at all indoors.

Thanks for this information. I was just talking to my growmie. We were wondering if the hps vs. Led lights affect things, like type of high, colored pistils, etc. I have LEDs where you can change the spectrum. I keep it on flowering mode. I do have a pinkleberry in flower right now. Might just put it outside. See if it will show the pink. When i grew under HPS years ago, i had a plant throw fire engine red pistils.

From what I remember this got Sussed out a long time ago on the MNS boards and the conclusion was that it comes from afghani genetics.

And being flowered outdoors I believe. My DP current stock Blueberry displaying pink pistils outdoors..

That part. Yes.

I've only personally seen it on outdoor grown plants with afghan heritage.

Strain/cultivar? Indoors/outdoor?

Sorry about that. She’s the daughter pictured above but further along, outdoors, 42N. She is: (AB G-13 x (AB G-13 x God Bud)) X AMM [Afghan Mix Male from TRSC]

I only popped four from this chuck and got three girls, two of which are showing pink, like their mother.

Maybe not necessarily intensity but rather abundance of?

It's been awhile since I've read the thread but I think the colored pistils in aces panama only come out in the sun or it's rare they show indoors. But if you take the plant outside(clone or same plant) it will express as such assuming it's the right pheno.
I bring this up as it may be what's happening here...

Have you grown any South American or Central American sativa's outdoors?
I ask because Aces Panama is known for pink\fuchsia pistils when it's outside but doesn't contain Afghani genes afaik anyways.

The colour pigment is usually a UV filter. You need UV to make the plant want to produce any. With very rare exceptions. As can be seen, from nearly all the plants pictured here, being outside.

There is no need to make a blue pigment, as it would allow the UV and block the red. There is no situation where the plant would need to do this (in nature). However, we can stain white tissue easy enough. I have done it after the chop, by putting the stalk in coloured water. It's been said, you can stitch a cotton wick through the trunk of a growing pot plant, to draw in colour. It won't pass through the roots though.
There is no real point, as while the colour works on a white canvas, our canvas will brown off as it dries. Plus, the colouring has no approval for smoking.

As a memory helper, Pistils shoot out two white hairs. The hairs are part of the pistil, not separate ammunition. However, pistils shooting should stick in my head.

Edit: I like to see some colour, but it also announces I won't keep it.
