As of day 14, the Blackberry is growing well! The growth is vigorous and pretty healthy, so I am going to just keep doing what I am doing.
I am temporarily using dry cal-mag crystals to the same ppm/EC (.5-.6) as calimagic hasn't caused any issues yet. I can make my way through the bag I have before buying more calimagic, and not be wasteful!
The Blackberry will be ready to be topped this week, so that will definitely be updated when the time is right.
Happy growing, and stay safe everyone! 🌱👍
Day 15: plant has been FIMed!
Day 17: the plant is continuing to have healthy vegitative growth. I am waiting for slightly longer branches, and then I can start training the plant.
Day 19: good, bushy growth 👍
Omg! Dude! You got a KAREN! Lol let me explain...
If you look at my current journal you will see who Karen is. In your pics I can see a runt with her leaves all mutant like mine! LOOK AT MINE! Yours is about to explode and surprise the shit out of you.
@GutterHoe, yeah it's definitely the same issue! This Blackberry plant is actually unaffected, but my Auto Blackberry Kush which is right next to it has all the traits of your "Karen" plant. It's the second time I have had a purple/black budded strain do it, and after researching it pretty heavily I am convinced it's a genetic issue that comes along with breeding for deep colors. The plant with the twisted growth is budding very well now and is pretty vigorous with deep red/black tones so I can forgive it for the fucked up growth! 🙂
