As of day 59, the Blackberry is doing well! I don't think it's going to get dark/purple buds, but it is definitely pink and with the orange hairs starting to form it will produce something nice! I switched from liquid to dry Koolbloom, as the plant is entering it's last 3 weeks or so. It has a nice light berry and lemon smell which is quite similar to the Blue Dream'Matic I grew last cycle.
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! 🙂
