Well, this is my third attempt in 40 years to grow something One time in 1979 (squirrels ate the little seedling) , once about year ago with a friends bag seeds that'd been cooking in his shop desk drawer for a year (none germinated) and this little Fastbuds Fastberry plant. This grow is not a whole lot less ghetto than the others, difference being that ti worked this time. Grown under 2 32 watt GE LED grow bulbs in MG organic soil. She goes outside for a few hours when possible . 40 days since she showed above ground. Looking a tad purplish on he main cola. Pics are off the two side, One is doing better I suspect because I had the main stem bent away fro that side for a little while. Purple starting to show up on most of the side branches now and not the rhubarb colored stems that say you have a deficiency of some kind. Had those too. LOL The side where a couple of the tops are stil the lighter green color is the "weak" side. She is a hair over 13 inches tall. She has stretched about an inch in the last 4 or 5 days.

Thanks for the welcome, guys. I was being silly about the purple thing. I know it is supposed to go purple but was a bit surprised at how fast it seemed to turn. The bud sites on the "back" that are light green didn't go light.They just haven't gone darker. As this is my first grow, I am shocked (but pleasantly so) that it actually kinda sorta looks like it is supposed to, albeit smaller.:biggrin: Still got the odd weird yellow spotandtny dry tip to worry me, but generally things seem be going okay, She will be 6 weeks above ground Sunday. What you do figure? 4 more weeks?
 
One of the remaining light green tops is now going dark and the strongest of the branches the "good" side of fthe plant is getting a goodly amount of upstream flower growth. Other branches are getting growth too. It doesn't seem to be stretching all that much. I had her outside today for 9 hours, same size as last night. :tongue:

Okay I think that I finally figured out what she smells like. It is still not that strong, but you get the smell your fingers. The closest thing that I can compare to is like rosemary or maybe lavender. . So, after all of that thinking about whether I wanted something that smelled like berries, pineapple, lemons, bunt cake or a cross between a Fig Newton and a skunks ass, what I get is herb..........that smells like herbs. Oy! :doh:

Shes a great little girl well done also if you mean the leaf stems are purple I sometimes get it when my lights out times are on the colder side
 
The petioles were purple early on. Now the flowers are purple, so that is an improvement.:d5:
