Germination
3 years ago
Excited to get this photo period run going! I received these seeds from Female Sees and all four that were planted germinated and sprouted out of the dirt in just four days. I switched up my soil to Happy Frog from Fox Farms as I noticed Female Seed Autos really made me think this soil was too hot for them. I dont know if I have ever had a Cherry Pie strain but I am excited to see how all four of these ladies turn out. As of now things seem to be doing ok. Hope all is well with your grows! Happy growing everyone.

These little ladies are pretty happy this week and seem to be growing at a good rate. Two of them are bigger than the others and one seems to be a runt. I think this is because I had to much water in here when she popped and it has made her a little lady. I like the color right now on them; a bit darker but I see some purple when new leaves come out so its going to be fun to see the colors pop. I am excited to get these ladies going to and see their potential. I havent decided how I want all these ladies set up in their final homes. I am thinking 3 Gal pots and the possibility of moving to an organic soil from a local company Build-A-Soil in Colorado. I am really interested in top dressing the plants as well as only using water and not doing nutrients. Since weight is not a big issue and quality is more what I am looking for I think the organic soil may be the way to go. Im interested in what everyone thinks of just doing organic! Hope all is well and happy growing!

2 out of the 4 Cherry Pies are doing pretty well! The Other two are slow growing and little ladies compared to everything else in the tent. Possible over watering or just the seeds themselves. These ladies seem happy though. I have upped the watts in the tent to around 175 and will keep moving that up slightly over the next month or so. I hope to keep this all organic this round as I bought new soil and organic amendments from BuildASoil.com. I am really excited to see how this goes and I hope it gets here soon as a transplant for these little ladies will be helpful. Things are just on cruise control at the moment and hopefully they get going once in their new pots. Hope all is well! Happy growing everything!

The Cherry Ladies are only looking half good. 2 out 4 seems to be enjoying their environment and doing well, not like the C99 but doing well. The other two seems to be small and slow going. Even the ones that arent growing as well seem to be just as thirsty as the others but aren't preforming as well. Transplant and topping happen this week into the following week. Undergrowth seems to be ok here but again they are behind the C99's . I am excited to see how they do in better soil and a bigger home. Gonna keep pushing these ladies and make sure they are happy as they can be. Happy New Year Everyone. Happy Growing

Im not sure what is going on with these ladies. Not sure if they are under water, over watered, or just aren't happy with the environment I have them in. I didnt do much this week but try to keep an eye on them. I removed a few leaves and I didnt top them this week but plan to in the next few days. I am excited for them to get into their new home and see if that helps anything. Two out of four seem to be happier than the others. I transplanted them tonight but didnt get the chance to upload pictures or their new homes. I moved them to 3 gallon pots filled with the 3.0 BuildAsoil. I added about topped it with BuildASoil Craft blend and am waiting for mulch to arrive so I can add it to the top of the soil. I am nervous about this organic cycle and hope I am doing things right! I should have waited for the mulch to show up to transplant but these ladies probably needed their new home and I don't think it could have waited. I will just need to make sure the soil is staying moist until the mulch comes in. Fingers crossed I am doing this right and these ladies enjoy their new home. Hope everyone is having a good year thus far! Happy Growing!

Not much to say about these ladies besides that I am not happy with how they are turning out so far. One doesnt even seem to be growing right now; one seems to be growing at a super slow rate, and one doesnt even seem to be growing at all. 2 out of the 4 are doing good but not great like the C99's. I am a bit disappointed in these seeds but i am hoping with love and care they will bounce back and be ready for flower in three weeks. It seems as though I am not very good at taking care of these ladies and makes me thing I need to stick with Autos. I know growing is all about learning, but I am more upset about not being able to grow these ladies right. Anyway....I hope everyone is doing well; happy growing everyone!

These ladies seem to finally be getting comfy in their new homes and 3 out for the 4 were topped. My little runt of these is actually doing amazing at this time and looks great. I am not going to top her since she is a bit behind everyone else but seems to want to catch up. I am happy to see all four of these ladies looking good and growing well even though it seems to be at a slower pace than the C99. I have only been feeding water to these ladies and making sure I keep that topsoil moist as best as I can. I added a 1/4 cup of worm castings to them to make sure they have enough food since they are smaller pots. A few more weeks of veg and then ill be flipping to flower. Up in the air about a trellis; let me know if its a good idea. Hope all is well growers and Happy growing!

My runt is no longer the runt of the pack and they all seem to be happy at this time. Growth is slow for these ladies and its making me veg a week longer than I wanted but its ok. They seems to be doing well even through the lack of growth is slow. I did some super cropping and i think it slowed them down even more. I plan to get them ready for flowering and will be adding a top dressing in the next few days. Sorry im late on getting this up. Hope all this well and Happy Growing!

All these Cherry Pie's seemed to be coming more alive this week and it's nice to see. I think topping and super cropping them took a longer time to recover unlike the C99's which bounced back fast. They grew taller and wider and are on their last week of veg time. Flowering is coming up and I got them prepared by adding a top dressing to them with BuildaSoil SuildaFlower and their Craft Blend. Going to a good defoliation on these ladies this week and hope they do some good stretching for me the next few weeks. Hope all is well! Happy Growing!

These ladies are coming out great and i am happy they have added some height on them. The runt has turned into the runt again but i think that's because I didn't top her. They seem happy but a little down this weekend and i think that has to do with over watering or increase of lights. They smell super skunky when you touch a leaf but the smell isn't strong enough to just smell at this time. Im excited to see what these ladies can do in the next few weeks, nothing but water for these ladies. Hope all is well with everyone. Happy Growing.

The Cherry Pies are happy and starting to get some bud formations on them. I am happy with how they look and the size they have grown since being put into flower. They look healthy and are thirsty like the C99's. They smell like a skunk and i am hoping to get some more cherry smelling buds once they are formed. Not much else to report on but a good defoliation should take place this week. Hope everyone is well, sorry for the short updates. Happy Growing

Very Happy with these ladies and how they are looking right now. They have done some good stretching and the nugs are starting to roll in. I think all of these are going to be awesome just by bow they are looking; good structure so far and a mild smell coming off. Like the C99's using no bottle nutrients shows how slow moving these plants can be however i do think this will be some of the best i have been able to grow so far. I hope all is well and sorry for the delays in getting everything updated! Happy Growing everyone.

I would say i am really happy with 3 out of 4 of these ladies. They seem to be happy for the most part and the buds are coming in nicely. One of them has smaller but which will lightly be airy I think; however, the other 3 seems to be loving life at the moment with good bud structure and what looks to be like good trichrome production at this time. Even those these ladies are small and i can tell the difference from organic to synthetic nutrients, I am enjoying this run so far. These ladies have impressed me the longer they have grown and its nice to see that I am doing something right for them. I gave them a new top dressing of BuildaSoil's BuildaBloom and will start feeding them their BuildaFlower organic recipe. Hope all is well, Happy Growing.

These Cherry pies are surprising me each day and I am excited to see how they finish up. I think only one is smaller than the others at this time but they all seem happy. I am starting to see some yellowing of the leaves but the buds are looking good. I am extremely happy with the one i call runt because she seems to be the happiest out of all the Cherry Pies. starting to see some color change in and these should be done between week 8-10 according to Female Seeds website. I am hoping they get much fatter in the next few weeks. Have these ladies some molasses this week as well so i hope it helps the trichome production. Hope everyone is doing well! Happy Growing!

The Cherry Pies are looking great and seem to be in a very happy place right now. Should be another few weeks and ill be chopping them down. They are producing large amounts of trichomes and are smelling great. Probably going to get around 3 or 4 ounces off them but i think they will be great. They all seem extremely happy compaired to the C99's, even though they have all been receiving the same stuff. Im glad to have more seeds of the Cherry Pies and hope to do another round with bigger and happier plants. Not much to say about these ladies really. I am starting to see good bulk in them and hair color is changing into a nice orange. Excited to chop them down in a few weeks. Hope all is well. Happy Growing!

These ladies are doing great and i am excited for them to be done in about a week. I will check trichomes each day but these ladies are super close to being done. They smell sweet and look amazing with their trichome production. I am happy i have more seeds of these so i can maybe go bigger next time. These ladies seems to be happy and seem to be enjoying their home. I still have a huge nat problem and will be happy to get ride of the soil once these are completed. Not much else to say besides i am impressed with these ladies. Hope all is well, Happy Growing!

The Cherry Pies came out amazing and i am pretty happy about how they turned out. One did grow some nanners so lets hope no seeds are going to happen. These ladies came out pretty frosty and only two seemed to get some good weight on them. They smell great and are super strong. They have a nice sweet gassy smell to them and are pretty sticky. Excited for these ladies to cure . Hope all is well - Happy growning
