If it’s going to change color it usually takes cooler night Temps around 60 and some of the plants may not turn it just depends on their pheno type. But she looks good. Happy growing good luck

If plants have really strong color pheno they typically start to color 3-4 week with only 10F temp swing dark to light but cooler temps tend to help.
