I transplanted the Blackberry Kush a little early so it could start benefitting from the auto watering. For my grow set up I am not worried about overwatering, and I think the root development will be just fine in my tall, 2.5g pots. I will keep dialing up the nutrients carefully, as the Blackberry Kush is showing some minor development issues which I hope will self resolve (the Fastbuds Blackberry is doing great in the same conditions). I will have a lot more updates during the week, happy growing everyone and stay safe! 👍🌱 Day 10: started adding silicon and rapid start (and a little pH down) and upped the trio slightly. In case anyone is wondering if there is any perlite, there is! It's just chilling under layer of pure coco. Right now there is 3l of perlite per pot, with the highest concentration lowest in the pot where drainage will be needed the most. Day 12: I lowered lights to 20 inches which is my vegitative growth hanging height generally. Thanks to those who responded to my grow question regarding this plant's leaf deformaties, the general consensus was that if the other parameters are good and this is the only plant showing symptoms it is likely genetic. This is also what I have suspected, as the only other plant I have had display these characteristics was a Black Cream almost a year ago grown with a completely different growing style. That plant grew alright (although slightly behind it's peers) so I hope this one can do well once it starts taking off! Day 13: I am running low on calimagic as a cal mag source, so I switched out to Greenleaf nutrients cal-mag pro that I have a bag of (that will last forever!) It has a bit more nitrogen, which is good for the current plant stage, so I can save the calimagic for flowering if the plants don't mind the switch. I mix about .5-.6 EC worth of Cal mag, which is about .625tsp per 5 gallons of the Cal mag pro. I will have this reflected on tomorrow's diary entry.

The Blackberry Kush has been experiencing some twisted, deformed growth since it first germinated, while my Fastbuds Blackberry has been growing strong under the same conditions. Autofertigated buffered coco, 15-20% perlite mix. Runoff also 1.1ec. Just an issue of genetics?

ok, in this case i agree that it shouldn't be an EC issue, so then i'd go with genetics.. Only if you see the same behavior with more grows in the same environment, i'd start looking into a possible root cause, but sometimes those one-offs just happen. happy growing!

I did experience something similar on my outdoor grow and it turned out to be wind burned. After looking through I did see that you sprayed your plants when lights are on and the water droplet may off rolled off the leaf and the streaks causing by the light itself, another could possibly be a PH as you did state it drifts from 5.8/6.2 which may off locked out a specific nutrient to causing the roots to lock or bound. And if your leafs are twisted and forming around a 90 degree angle then you're looking at broad mites, it doesn't seem like a calmag problem as calcium effects lower leafs to twisted whilst forming rust spots and magnesium causes the center leaves to yellow. One other I can think off may be a boron deficiency

@@@@Ajwardy18, thanks for sharing your experiences, I really appreciate it! I ruled out a lot of these issues such as wind burn, but I am now narrowing in on upward PH drift causing boron lockout. I think the symptomatic plant might be more genetically predisposed to the issue, and I had been using GH pH drops for a lot of my testing and I am honestly not that good at reading subtle color differences. I recalibrated my PH pen last night and found the reservoir had drifted up to a 6.6 over 3 days, probably from a 6.3 when the nutrients were mixed. I was misinterpreting the drops as being a 5.9-6.2 range. That would be enough to cause boron lockout if it has been happening throughout the grow! I definitely should have known better, but at least I am aware of it now and have corrected it! I am going to double check the pH a few times a day over the next week and see if I can begin to correct the issue and get healthier growth back. Happy growing! 👍🌱 Edit note: after 4 days of definitely spot on PH and EC, inflow and runoff, there really hasn't been a change in new growth. So I am reverting back to genetics or a mystery condition only affecting this one plant 🤷‍♀️🏻

Looks awesome my friend. I'm still about a week behind you but my plants are not looking quite as luscious yet ;) Great job on this grow. Looking forward to next week. 👍

@Treighfunky, thanks! They have really grown like crazy, and now I feel like I have to get a bigger tent if I ever grow more than a single plant at a time! Your plants look nice and healthy, and are coming along well! 🌱👍

Looks fantastic so far. I'm growing the same strain and about 2-3 week behind you. I'll be checking in on this grow to see how things progress for you. Best of luck 👍

Hey bro i did have had the same problem with my DP blackberry kush, Strange twisted growth. My other plants did fine so i think genetics. i did get rid of her. Hope this helps

@StoneyMelony, thanks for the heads up! It helps me not feel crazy, like I am missing something for the poor plant. I feel like this happens more when breeders breed for consistency in the unusual/recessive bud colors, but screwy traits and mutations become more common in the strain. At least the Blackberry by Fastbuds will fill in all the space this one struggles to take up!
