The Red Poison plant is making a mad stretch and preflowers are coming in. She's still got that twisty leaf growth going on - but she's growing so fast! I never figured out what was up with her, but I am 90% sure it's not environmental. She has the same soil and everything as the Sweet Cheeses, which are doing splendidly. I don't think it's a virus, either, as it seems too "healthy" otherwise. I think the issue did start from seed, though - possibly some damage to the DNA causing the deformities. I'm assuming all her other processes are working properly given her growth rate, so I'm still gonna go ahead and flower her to see if the flowers are janky too. :) There are a few remaining Red Poison seeds to try in the future too, so why not.
The Sweet Cheese twins are happily coexisting in a 7gallon pot, though I do kinda wish I'd moved the smaller twin into one of my old 3 gallon pots back at the start. Just to have more room to get in there and train them. Otherwise, they're lovely healthy plants, taking their time to veg out for a bit longer before they stretch and flower. Hoping to see them live up to the "XL" in the name.
I'm also waiting on another fan to arrive since one of mine died. Definitely reminded me why I check the tent 2x a day at least(usually more if we're being honest ;) ) because the motor was actively burning out when I found it - as in, it was too hot to touch the motor casing.
Please be careful with your electronics, everyone. Nobody wants a garden fire.
Looks super nice. I’m growing a red poison on my page as well right now, and I’ve noticed some of the same genetic traits you noticed on the leaves in veg. Yours looks bigger than mine tho xD.
@Muntjac, I sure hope so, everyone I’ve seen on this site who’s harvested this strain says the smell is awesome even if they don’t always get the color. Looks like you definitely popped a pretty purple pheno tho
@anonymousSoftwareProduct, Hiya! Thank you for the kind words, and for letting me know about your similar issues. I checked out your grow, and it's interesting because I also saw similar traits popping up for another grower, alongside normal non-twisty leaved red poisons. I wonder if a batch of seeds got overheated or something like that(maybe our plants are very close siblings? Kinda fun to think about it like that, at least :D). Either way, the flowers are coming along rather nicely despite the janky leaves, so I reckon you'll have a really good time with your grow regardless. You'll freaking love the smell they produce.
Thank you very much for trusting our strains, and sharing your experience.
And thank you very much again for the score of 8 out of 10!! 👏😍❤️
We hope you enjoy the harvest 👌
Sweet smokes!
