Growman2020 I'm very excited about this grow number 5. This is the first seed of the 6 Cherry bomb, auto-fem from MSG. His last 3 cherry bomb didn't grow, so this a nice redemption. This is a nice Indica. I'm using a compostable 2 ounce container. Perhaps in 2-5 weeks I'll move her outside to my greenhouse and into a 4 gallon container. It depends on the weather. Only took 5 days to germinate. 1 day of soaking in a shot glass of distilled water. 2 days on a paper towel and 2 days underground. I kept the seed warm on a radio. I kept the seed humid inside a bag, while underground.

Growman2020 I've moved a bunch of other stuff in the grow room outside so now I've got room to move her closer to the light this will help with the stretch. For now she's going to remain in the 2 ounce cardboard, compostable cup. Eventually I'll transplant to the 4 gallon container. It will be fine to do this with an auto because the container is compostable. Only the first set of leaves is showing.

Growman2020 She needs to be transplanted soon. I'm completely outdoors now. I need a little bit more dirt and some clover in order to put her in the forever home of a 4 gallon pot.

Growman2020 She was starting to show a little root, so it was time to move the compostable container into a 4 gallon pot with clover all around. It has been cold this week.

Growman2020 The second set of leaves looks good and is a 3 point. I've transplanted with clover for nutrients. Plants aren't growing too fast. It has been cold.

Growman2020 I took some before and after pictures of the topping of this plant. The first topping is the cutting off the third node. The cut needs to be made between the second and the third nodes.

Growman2020 Fantastic it has finally got warm. Today was the last day of frost. It is not ready for a second topping. I'm a few days late on this diary. Week 6 and not flowering yet and not very tall. I love Indica.

Growman2020 Not ready for topping. Finally nice and warm. Getting lots of compost tea. Roughly 3 more weeks until flower stage. Not sure if I should stay in the green house and not sure if topping is helping.

Growman2020 I did eventually top. She will stay in the green house because Cherry Bomb hasn't flowered yet. It got really cold again, here in Michigan it is 39 degrees at night.

Growman2020 Since Cherry Bomb hasn't flowered yet, I was able to do some topping after these pictures were taken. I've bumped her height up to 18 inches. She got moved outside because I got a bumble bee attracted to the clover.

Growman2020 At the last minute found some nice sites to top. Cherry bomb hasn't hit flower yet, so ok to top her. No bugs got on this plant. Weather is windy and cold at night.

Growman2020 She refuses to flower. This plant is at least 2 feet tall in a 4 gallon pot. I took advantage of the slow to flowering time and did more topping.

Growman2020 I've become convinced that she is a photo and not an auto. Therefore I've started cloning the tops. 2 of them are in dirt outside with no root powder. There is one in the green house with root powder. The outside plants got watered for the first time in weeks as it didn't rain for 3 days. After a few more days I'll attempt some more tops/clones. Note 3 more clones and I'll be up to 12 plant legal limit. I measured and Cherry bomb is 35 inches tall.

Growman2020 Topped and decided that this non-flowering auto could give me some over the legal limit clones the results are good all 5 clones are still alive.

Growman2020 I'm assuming she's in flower now and grown about 4 inches from last week. She's pretty thirsty and I'm giving a full 8 ounces of compost tea everyday it doesn't rain.

Growman2020 Here are the clones I've got left. As soon as I found out, by observation, that Cherry Bomb was a photo instead of an auto I started the cloning process.

Growman2020 I added more dirt and clover around the bottom. She's flowering nicely I expect at least an ounce. Unfortunately all the clones are flowering too.

Growman2020 I attempted to get scope pictures. I'm seeing about 30% amber on the Cherry Bomb. Of course most of these are out of focus so really hard to tell. I think about 3 more weeks.

Growman2020 Looks like still waiting. I could take this inside in about 11 days. Last year I had to go inside at October 7. Since Cherry Bomb is in a pot I could take her to the basement for growing under the grow lights or in the green house for another month. Also I could harvest her and let her revegetate. Not sure since I've got a few Cherry Bomb clones and I might not have the room inside for her.
Growman2020 Looking like about 1 oz dry. The buds look very firm. I'm hoping to re-veg the clone. It is Halloween and frost is probably coming this week.
Looks awesome, I hear you about growing in northern latitudes. I’ve been VERY hesitant to move anything outside. Daytime temps are glorious, but still dips to 40’s/50’s at night on occasion (MA/ME border). Best of luck. I’ll be running some cosmic bomb next, how do you like bomb’s genetics so far?
@Fordsie, I've not grown the Cherry Bomb yet. It is an auto from the MSG grower. I got it from him a year ago and none of them grew. I was really looking forward to it, I like the name and it is an Indica. He was supposed to give me a photo and gave me auto instead. This time I got more than 3 seeds and I was fine with it being an auto.
