Cherry Aid?

[Skidmarx]

I love a challenge! Diary is called cherry aid as it could have been a act of charity for the seedbank to buy pbd420 seeds. Breeder off radar. No clear lineage (grandparents) I took a punt as some of In Houses top testers got some keepers. We'll see if it was worth. If this lanky Miss develops a cherry aroma I'll be cockahoop!

The defoliation went well. No drop in appitite. I am using plastic "plant bends" to counteract the stretch. Its still going but flower formation is picking up very nice. The stem PIC shows where she split under her own weight. Healing nice with duck tape and silicone. The stems up top are purpling most. The smell is getting a smidge more "fruity"

I would love to have a leggy sativa. Fun training with them. The best luck I have had training spindly stuff is with a net. You can really weave it in there like vines. Take the vertical growth and weave it into a horizontal canopy. Doesn't take much of a plant to be able to fill in a net pretty fast -as long as you have a stretching sativa. Then you can get the maximum out of your light by it hitting a filled out flat canopy.

I wasn't expecting this (wouldn't vegged 8 weeks if I knew!) & the space won't allow net. I've got an Acapulco gold cross that I'll give it a go with. Cheers bp

Looking really nice man! Looks like it is going to be some great stuff.

Thanks BP, waiting to take a wider shot, some branches are stacking up rather nice. My cut has survived and I'm day dreaming of running it in a scrog in winter.

Great mate

 

[Skidmarx]

Them stigmas are just crazy long!

 

[Big Perm]

Damn, you can start braiding it soon.

 

[Big Perm]

Hey man! Check it out link can you get in? You, too @Mellow old School

 

[Skidmarx]

Yep links good! I fancied this when I looked this am! I googled kratky method this morn but I'm already overstretched. "Focus on one thing at a time" is what the psych nurse told me (nodding smiley face emoji)

We're all loose cannons anyway. Bring whatever you want in and grow lettuce with us.

Them: Myself and Dr Mengler think its good that your not over stretching yourself Skid.

Me: That 4L tub of ice cream I had for breakfast... Still got the tub?

 

[Mellow old School]

cheers for thoughts on that, will follow. But my new on the way extra closet is for MJ, could use the garden, but also there I prefer grass of a different kind all 2400 square feet of it....

Looks like you are almost a week ahead of me in flower.

Nice looking ladies you got there.

Quick update
Day 52 from flip
Feed is the same I'm being cautious with ppm as I've not had any nute burn and she's looking very happy.
Colas are stacking but medium size only.
Smell is increasing, can't say cherry yet, but defo more than just lemon/citrus type.
Tomato cage isn't high enough to hold the high drooping branches. I'll steak in next few days.
Piece

 

[Sir Patrick]

Looking good.

Never experienced this strain. Got the genetic info to share?

SP, No clear lineage on the lemonade side and breeder has been off grid since last year but here's what I know:

Cherry Sours = Spiced Cherry x Lemonade.

Spiced Cherry = Tropic Heat X sweet cherry pie
(Tropic heat = ogkb X purple punch)
(Sweet cherry pie = ogkb X black cherry pie)
Lemonade = unknown (I guessed It was something like Lemon OG x Gorilla Haze. Or just a good Lemon Haze x ogkb

Powered by diesel 420 was a partner of In House for a couple of years their Black cherry pie was said to be a winner (but not available in seed at time) these were £60 and well worth a pheno hunt.

Day 58 from flip
I have added 4 pic's. 1 is dark but I was trying to give a scale with a tool, that is one of the larger colas.
I left too many branches so lots of thin ones with small buds. Greedy me. (Steaked her yesterday)

That smell is heavy on fuel with a distinctive cherry edge. Its sticky ++ and pleasing to all the senses.
As you can see the buds maturing, I am planning on waiting for her to start to fade before I start to flush. ? Week 10-12
Happy growing.
