I gave her a super boost by giving her a big wallop of Gro, and Micro, as I suspected nothing has changed regarding the colour. I intended to grow this one naturally, but I made a sudden decision to top her at the 5th node, usually I'd go for the fourth node but this Blackberry Kush is deceptively tricky. I'm even considering putting a wire net over her, even though I don't really like that when I don't have much space. The first two oldest sets of fan leaves have finally gone green, but not a very strong green and you can still see the mottled pattern in the leaves. Every other leaf is growing exactly the same as the first lime/yellow leaves, that is mainly a very pale lime green with a darker mottling all over the leaf.
Nevertheless she is growing very well so I guess we're going to have to wait till she flowers to see if this really is a mutated genotype, or merely a very weird phenotype. Because the leaves are so broad and strong I have been able to tuck the huge fan leaves without them popping back up, so that's a big plus.
@DoDrugs420, lol, she must have god on her side because every time grow her I vow to not grow her again but she keeps pulling me in, the trichomes are spread out far, the stem of the flowers is too meaty, she doesn't have much character in flavour apart from some mild sweet fruitiness, and yet I keep being drawn in to her, I feel she has more to reveal that I cannot unlock. I have one more bean left, but she's at the back of the queue at the moment.
@@BeachGrower, yes when scanning with a loupe overall there appears to be less trichomes per area than other plants I normally see, however once dry the trichome density appears to be pretty normal. She is a challenge to grow mainly because she's very unpredictable. Last one the buds were fairly loose, this one they are fairly tight. She is not a plant on my 'desert island' list. I see her more as an ornamental plant, after my monster purple gorilla, i needed something simple.
@Lookingforsomethingz, interesting. All the ones I've grown have behaved very differently. I guess by the end of next week is going to know if this is going to grow out. I shall not be altering the nutrients at all except to rebalance the pH if needed.
