Did some heavy handed lst and snapped the stem. It doesn't seem to have affected the top at all yet though. Maybe it's stopped growing from there up, but no sign of dying.
Very healthy plant aside from that
Happy to see it's the purple pheno.
Broken stem has recovered ok, though i think it might have stunted the growth a bit.
Just going to try and let her be for now.
Looking good. Smelling like some blackberries.
No dramas except a few caterpillars.
I thought she would have stretched more but looks like that's about unless there's another spurt. Maybe from being stunted when I shocked it a few weeks back?
Tiny bit of lolliepopping. Not much else to do but tuck the leaves aside.
She's going to be a short stumpy bonsai beauty by the looks of things. Fantastic fragrance too.
My friend said it looks like the kiss of death, but I think it looks more like some sort of fat purple sea slug laying amongst green leaves.
Little bit of defoliation. She doesn't have that many leaves on her and they're quite spread out any way. Pistils starting to die off. Maybe 2 weeks left
Bloody thing is full of seeds. Didn't realise due to the colour, but half of what i thought were young pistils were actually bananas.
Kind of surprised seeds from such a big bank would be hermies. Possibly something i did.
At least I've got about a hundred seeds for free.
Cut it down to make room for others and hopefully salvage something from it.
I cut her down early as there were so many hermies and i didn't want any more seeds developing. My final weight is probably a fair part seeds, but at least I've now got dozens of seeds for free.
She looked amazing growing, like a purple crested bonsai after her unfortunate accident.
Pretty vigorous growing to come back from having the stem snapped to acting as if nothing had happened. Except the stumpy size from the shock.
The blackberry smell was nice and some of the flavour comes through in the uncured stuff I've tried. It's definitely strong and definitely a couch locker.
