I have grown a few blackberrys in the past, different breeders to yours. I have done photos and autos and I found them to be quite picky on nutrients. Most the plants looked like yours at that stage. Only a few plants looked different. Could be due to the genetics. Unless your seeing shiny leaves, brown spots or anything else I wouldn't worry. One thing I did find with blackberry is they really got nitrogen build up quite quickly. Try increasing your P and K a bit and see if that has any positive development.

Organoman - It's winter here hence running the lights longer as temps drop too low below during day and night

I think your plant is stressed by having too much light, 22/2 is extreme. Autos and photoperiod plants in vegetative growth perform at their optimum when given an 18/6 lights on, lights off schedule. Cannabis needs a certain amount of dark time to undertake vital metabolic processes that are fundamental to over all health. Having only 2 hours dark time will not allow the plant to do these vital processes, causing a plant with a hugely disrupted metabolism and suffering with exhaustion, possibly causing/leading to these weird looking flowers. Besides, cannabis can only grow so much in any 24 hour period and this growth tops out at about 18 hours, meaning running your lights any longer than 18 hours is basically a waste of electricity. Also, your plants should be grown with compassion and be cherished, not flogged within an inch of their lives with extended and completely abnormal super long light cycles, this can only lead to unhealthy and unbalanced exhausted plants, and exhausted and unbalanced plants can in no way grow prime flowers. Think of the six hours dark time as 2 hours to recover from the day, 2 hours to rest and 2 hours to get ready for the day ahead. This is basically what is occurring during the 6 hours of rest and is a vital part of your plants over all health to have this length of rest/dark time. 18 hours of lights on time has been derived at through 80+ years of cannabis research and is not a random number. Forcing your plants to grow to the point of exhaustion and thrashing them like some sort of funky machine is setting yourself up for failure. Grow your plants with sympathy and kindness and they will reward you with prime flowers. Flogging them like a machine to the point of total collapse will not give you healthy and prime flowers. I am sure you would feel very unhappy if you were only given two hours sleep a night for weeks/months on end. Google "photosynthesis" and find out exactly what occurs during the night and then you may understand why having a decent rest each night is so vital for the holistic health of your plants. I do not think the issues you are seeing is nutrient related at all, but caused entirely by confused and exhausted plants with an imbalanced metabolism that are wondering when this extreme torture they are experiencing will end. Believe me, some fools try growing at 24/0, needless to say, they only do it once due to effing up their entire crop. Be kind to your plants,.... respect them. They are not machines to be thrashed. They need sleep, and enough of it, so as to be healthy and function correctly. Correctly functioning plants will give you prime flowers. A stressed and exhausted plant can not. Hope this helps and that I have not offended you too much. Cheers, Organoman. (and defender of the rights of cannabis plants!)

Hi Hashy, I think you nailed it. I do give them additional Nitrogen it's Nitrogen : 11% Magnesium : 10% I will stop adding to the feed and increase P K as you said.
