100degrees

Hey guys I recently planted a Reserva Privada Purple Wreck seed andbit popped (awesome)

I noticed that the first set of leaves was weird, and it started growing 3 branches per node. Its already at 6 or 7 nodes and there all 3 branches.

I dont care for productionion inceases or what not, im just concerned because i read that most of these 3 branch plants turn out male or are very likely to go hermie. Anyone have any ideas or input on this?

Ive worked with this strain much over the last 18 months. It has really two seed types... the regular ones ( which give off any mixture of both purple erkle and trainwreck ) , and then the freaks. There was one point i heard RP even shut down the strain then restarted it a year later... I dont know how true that is but ive seen tons of phenos and tons of freaks out of these... including one that grew like a damn OG and put off almost 8 ounces after a 2 month veg. More often then not the freaky ones have issues though. Easily stunted where other strains wont... i.e. tiny Ph changes as well as they love Nitrogen all the way through.. including flowering so if you nute make sure you DONT follow directions and lower your bloom and add to your grow nutes. Also to achieve the super purple you need to have large variance in your night time to day time temps. Mine gets best in winter when the room drops to 57 degrees F. when lights are out. Make sure to trim this one down low as well they grow super compact and light will not reach the bottoms of branches. I literally use wire to pul the branches out and trim the entire bottoms.

Nice specimen of whorled phyllotaxy. Click my pic journal link in sig for more examples.

Often male it seems based on experiences posted online, but not necessarily though (I had/have both male and female). No link to hermies.

Congrats, if it turns out to be a female. (yes it's a good thing, especially tri-whorled. Don't expect more bud per given space, but as you probably noticed, fast vegger).
