blackberry mother the funkiest of the funky plants

[uwhcmw76]

Hey everyone,

I have a 6 mos old blackberry mother I received as a cutting and have been cloning off of her for several months now and recently I have noticed that one of the lower branches is is starting to very aggressively produce small flowers and seems to forming a small cola, the plant has always been under 24 hrs of light, and since she was a little girl was always very frosty with small flowers and excessive pistil development, everyone always says that the plant is in flower even the clones look like they have little nugs on them and your fingers get very sticky just taking cuttings, leaf structure is also very different most of the leaves are one finger and are in excess of 12" long so strangeness has alway been a part of her makeup, however she is a very strong plant good roots, fast growth strong stem and heavy yields, but this one branch is peaking my curiosity has anyone seen one branch later change from the rest of the plant, this is a larger branch not a new branch that formed, maybe an old hidden recessive ruderalis gene in there that is now coming out? if anyone has any insight please chime in.

so I guess that this one branch is the funkies part of the funkiest of the funky plants..

thanks

There are some plants out there that will just begin to flower after a long time, even under 24 hours of light. More likely than not though, i would guess that is a bottom branch and that it is atleast partially shaded by light. In which case it would begin to flower. Happens all the time to my old mothers, and i just cut off any branches beggining to produce flowers. hope this helps a little?

Oh, i would just start a new mother maybe if shes getting too old, big, unmanagable or cranky..
