So we aquired this cut from harborside, & it was sold as a strain called snowman (im assuming its a replicate of cookie fams snowman), anyhow...when we got it, it was purple from the stalks all the way to the bottom of the fan leaves, which we originally thought to be a phosphate def.,

After several weeks & several feedings of max sea, were still looking @ a very purple/lavender color plant. everything else in the garden looks great & without any sign of any deficiancy. But yet this lady refuses to change. I suppose i could be a lockout? But im gonna try to stay positive & hope this is just a freak trait in the strain. Also another oddball about this girl is while all the other strains are real fibrous in make up & branches tend to break relatively easily, snowman on the other hand is very fleshy & rubbery, to the point where if i pull a fan leaf, the whole plant will want to come with it. ....one more thing........THE STEM RUB! When i rub the stems im getting the most unique scent ive ever come across in 8 outdoor seasons. This girls staying in the arsenal for sure! She was a bitch to clone, but i got her...

However, there are some downsides to her....... Slow growing, i can tell shes gonna be a low yeilder, & a fairly "dainty" plant for the most part.

Anybody else running this cut outdoor this year? Or experiencing anything similiar with it? I dont know much about the strain nor can i find much info on it, but i cant wait till this girls in week 6...if im seeing odd stuff now, now telling what late flower holds.......

. i think is a lock out. give her a one spoon of epson salts per gallon of plain water., also try to keep ur ph at 6.5 as a preventing measure, she is not showing to much symptoms other than tha purple stems u say. It is good to prevent also get some calmag and be on the watch for any early signs, if it is a problem to get calmag buy some Epson salts and get egg shells and grind them and add them to ur water schedule.

Outdoor soil medium the ph doesnt matter much as the soil acts as a buffer. I dont believe it to be a calcium deficiency because my well water has a high ammount of calcium in it already, so i supplement the magnesium with epsom salts.

Im thinking phosphate deficiency if anything...but i cant see how....nothing else in that garden is running behind on anything....ill foliar spray tomorrow with epsom...

Its definitely genetic. I just asked loopmasterdave who just finished a run and he said it was purple stemmed from the get go.
I think you are definitely in for a treat with this one though, flowers look dank as hell. Good luck!

Good observations got it here in cali from midnite farms. Unfortanaley posted a pic and tag the breeder and it turns out its not the real snowman from the cookies fam. Super low yeilds, super high resin content, and could not without the low temps around 50 degrees of my greenhouse. other than that made some high quality concentrates with is. The pic with the lady bug shows what the first post was describing looks like a deficiency but its not its the genetics. Smells like pineapple guava or guava punch(juice).
