I just went out to hand-water the bush girls (trudging up & down the hill multiple times with a watering can is getting somewhat tiresome - I wish the bastards I ordered IBC plumbing fittings from would fucking deliver so I can just turn a tap on & walk away for an hour.....
) & noticed the same colouration starting to show on them as well.
I originally thought it was just an environmental change for the one plant (from a warm, humid tent on 12/12 to outside under current sunshine), but it's showing in all of them, which I'm guessing can only be genetic. Are you getting anything similar (since they all came from the same mother)?
@beernutz reckons it's unusual for IB (3 seasons' experience), so if you're not getting the same thing, it can only be something I'm doing differently.
I'm not overly-fussed about it, as long as the plants are healthy. Apparently, colours have "bag-appeal" (If I was intending to sell it, which I'm not).
On another note, I noticed some nascent male pollen sacks on the most advanced girl this arvo. 'Can't get decent photo's due to the wind.
They're ONLY on the branch that I sprayed with CS. I thought The stuff I used was sub-standard, so stopped applying it, but it seems to have worked (after a fashion), but nothing really impressive.
I've got her next to another mature IB & Gelato OG.
I'm now tossing-up:
1. Let her ride & see what happens. Maybe the pollen sacks won't mature & the female aspects will just override within the buds?
2. If the male pollen sacks mature, I'm looking at an IB x Gelato OG.
2. Chop the entire branch & cut my losses.
This is one time where I'm actually soliciting informed/experienced advice from the cogniscenti.
