Raspberry Ripple (Tiki Madman Colab)

This week the plants made a great recovery from being stunted from their first transplant. I started to notice when they snapped back they began consuming a lot of water, I assume they are fully establishing themselves and beginning the true vegetative state. Edit: This water consumption persisted and seemed to really upset my plant when the soil would dry out between watering, I noticed this alongside some purpling stems beginning to develop I treated with Crab Meal by down to earth at 1/3 dose (1 1/2 Teaspoons) which seemed to help for the moment and bought me another week of time between transplants! I'll definitely be starting in the 1/3 gallon containers instead of the cell tray next time!
