Outdoor Dark Devil - Sweetseeds Outdoor grow

[pop22]

So the plant turned 2 weeks old today. I took a couple photos and I have a couple questions, I am also going to put a post in the sick plants form. I know the strain is supposed to turn purple and it looks healthy at the moment, but why are the leaves turning purple at such a young age. The new growth already has streaks of purple on it and I am worried that it's not the genetics and some type of disease.

Post your question on the 24/7 live help thread, you'll get answered quicker.

Got some answers on the live help forum but they were not very helpful. I think it's either a result of the genetics or the fact that it's dropping into the mid-low 60s at night. Either way I don't think it's too big of a deal. Also here's the photo I put on the live help forum for you guys to get a better look.

Okay my questions have been cleared up thanks to some new answers on the help forum and the plants appear to have grown passed the purple so all is well.

Nice timing.. pretty sure these are going to be my next grow... im pretty stoked to see how this turns out!

Mine seem to handle the cold at night pretty well. It dips down into the 50s at night here. They did stretch a bit from going from 24hrs of light indoors to being outside.

Day 21: The plant looks really healthy, but I am worried it has stretched quite a lot and is incredibly tall for being so young. The side branching also appears to be taking along time to grow in and it hasn't begun flowering yet. The weather has also been really cloudy and wet and my soil appears to have some trouble draining well from the constant rain.

I can't view the whole pics, but this kind of stretch looks good to me

This is going to be a really pretty plant.
Do you feed her with anything?

I'm not sure why the photos aren't working for you because they seem to be fine to me. At the moment I've done one feeding with molasses water. The constant rain has made feeding impossible because I don't want to over water. My only concern about the stretching is it looks like the plant has used a lot of energy on growing taller instead of bushier.

Pics work for me...I don't think you have to worry about the stretch...OD during veg., it's going to do what it's going to do...it'll find places to pack the buds on

Went to check on the plant today and it has just started flowering... unfortunately I also discovered a slug had spent some time on my plant. It ate a lot of the newly forming side branches on the plant which appears to be a huge set back. It also ate 1/4th of a medium size fan leaf (which I am not as worried about). I set out containers of salt and beer and scattered a ring of salt around the pot as well as putting a ring of copper wire around the base of the plant so hopefully no more problems.
