so im about 4 weeks into this grow and i just topped my nicest plant. it is very healthy and it doesnt show any signs of deficiency or stress; however, at the little nub where i topped, a very bright purple colored juice oozed out!!! now i have topped plants before but this is my first grow in a couple years and there have been many bowls since then lol. it didnt strike me as normal so i figured i would post and see if anyone has experienced this. i even google searched with no results...im not that worried about it but someone has to have seen this before. surely i cant be the first!
Well many trees ooze sap when they're injured to help cover up the cut. Maybe it's just trying to seal a wound?
oh thats definitely what it was doing...no doubt about it. any time you take foliage from a plant it will ooze if its alive lol. what i was surprised about was the color!!! i mean it was such a rich purple that it looked like it was a purple colored marker leaking ink!!
The purple color comes from anthocyanin, the same stuff that gives blueberries their color! It just means you will have some purple buds! It is normal for many purple strains to bleed purple or red, so don't worry! Granny
Hi stormcrow. I remember u! U helped me with my previous grow. Just wanns say hi Sent from my Nexus S using Grasscity Forum mobile app
^ Can't vouch for that but it seems plausable. As long as growth continues don't fret about it you'l be fine. It's a weed after all
very exciting news...this grow im using bagseed since i ran out of money blowing over $700 on equipment haha. i find it a bit more exciting than my previous grow from clone when i saw the mother and already knew how they were going to end up. thank you!!! very much appreciated!!
