Black Cherry Pound Cake - Bredby42

Middlelifer I thought I would track this one plant. Its been a hardy and woody one. I had it in Veg for 7 weeks at 18 hours. Then flipped to 12 hours and it took forever for her to finally show flowering. This is looking to setup for a beastly budfest I think from what I have seen this one do so far.

Middlelifer It's been a slow grow but still going. Shows no signs of tiring. Flushed this week and back to just hanging out and developing slowly.

Middlelifer Flushed her again, then let her drain outside until dry, then .5 gallons with nutes. This is the next day pictures, this bitch loves life but it's taking her forever to get off. This labor of love is getting old, she better put out heavy, soon.

Middlelifer Lovely plant, responding well to full nutes and 300w of bloom light from the 600w Viparspectra led.

Middlelifer Added Maxibloom this week for a feeding. Used both mixes this week. This plant is incredible in it's appetite. Today is 16 weeks, 3 days since sprout.

Middlelifer Shes blowing up and starting to fill. This is looking great! Some good frosting showing now and getting denser.

Middlelifer Looks like this is going into its last week or so. Starting flushing this week and putting outside to dry out. Looking at the trich's, its getting there nicely. This pheno has the greenest fan leaves of any that has taken the amount of nutes I've run though it. Its never had any signs of problems during this entire grow. I did flush it well at about 12-13 weeks, that did it wonders as well. If there was any nute lock, it took care of that. I have yet to see a yellow spot, or anything in any leaf on this strain. This one has taken alot of abuse with training and trying to force it into a main top on every cola. This was an experiment that I have always wanted to try. I think standard mainlining is still a better yield that than this one will return. But its been great learning on this one and watching it take the abuse it has. One tough old broad.

Middlelifer Flush day is here! Shes outside and run a couple gallons thru the pot. Letting it drain and dry out until evening. Last week i believe, the upper trichs are getting very milky white, hairs about 50% red on the biggest tops. Lowers still have plenty of white hairs. Not as Frosty as other strains but still pretty nice. The main colas are a very dense and tight type with fat calyxs overall. Nice purple tints on the tops coming in on the tips of them. ***Added 4/30/21 More pictures of this very nice plant. I tried looking up this strain and its pretty rare and was a freebie bean from an order. Tried it out, 1 of 2 beans survived and I treated her like a nutrient whore. I dumped the recommended amounts and then a little more into this thing to get it where its at. I think its at least a couple more weeks away from cutting down. Its just oozing trichs and has been getting fatter still. Lower branch buds are filling in the gaps, the goal was to get as many 8-12" long dense runs of nugs of this baby. Not a complete success due to probably trimming to much off during defoliation times, but still a fun one to manipulate the hell out of and not see any herming or even getting ill. This strain can grow in a basement grow with very low temps, alot of mid 50-60 degrees vegging for 12 weeks. Never stressed it a bit. Under the microscope, tons of super clear mushrooms heads, only 5-10% white or cloudy. I dumped 2 gallons of nutes thru her this week after the flush. She is still pumping out size. I love watching this one go.

Middlelifer Just letting her age gracefully and fold in on herself. Shes one fuzzy dense one, not huge but thumb sized in roundness and length. My guess is maybe an oz when its all cured out. Hope it was worth the patience this one took. Bitch ate alot and was an expensive grow. Not one for the books. These last pics are for records of what this looked like at around 60 days. Probably another few days before chop. Flushed with 2 gallons of just water on day 56, shes just drying out and taking advantage of the cool dry air. Temps in the 60's and very low humidity. Plucked a small bud off, started drying out, its turning all kinds of purple on the tips. Its the stickiest wettest densest I've ever grown. Under scope its turning cloudy and milky white. As soon as I see any brown, she's going down for the count. Turned Vipar up to full 600W light to push her to the end.

Middlelifer She finally started showing amber brown trichs overnight on several buds. Chopped and trimmed. 125G wet. The two top colas are super dense. These will take awhile to cure for sure.

Middlelifer This was an experiment in mainlining and seeing how much abuse this strain could take. I did everything you could do to force her to produce. The THC content on this one is off the charts high for me. Been growing for 15 years and I've never gotten anything this dank. Airpots, COCO mixed, and these nutes and schedule worked fantastic for this strain. I have no doubt if done SCROG or mainlined right, it can do some serious buds. More light or outdoor might be a real good strain to try out.
