Ganja Farmer Cherry Pie (40-Gal Bed)

Cherry Pie A combination of Cherry AK and Purple Punch. The Indica-dominant hybrid is short, compact and produces large, hard buds with beautiful purple-blue hues. The taste is smooth and velvety, with a distinct hint of cherry. The effect is balanced and combines a euphoric, creative high with physical, deep relaxation. Perfect for all-day use. Type of flowering: Photoperiod Type of variety: Feminized Flowering: 8-10 weeks Indoor Height: 80-120 cm Indoor Yield: 450-650gsm THC: 15+% Taste: Skunk, Cherry 1/29 - I received seeds from Ganja Farmer and chose Cherry Pie to grow first. I picked the best-looking seed of the three provided (they all looked great) and placed it in a paper towel with some dehydrated Aloe flakes to aid germination, Beauveria Bassiana Plus, a fungus that infects soft bodied insects that bite the plant to become food for the plant shortly thereafter, and Rootwise Mycrobe Complete as inoculants. These inoculants should give the seedling an advantage as I will be placing the seed into a 40-gallon soil bed containing Build a Soil 3.0 that has had its cover crop smothered and covered with a layer of barley straw mulch. I folded the paper towel and moistened it with water retrieved from newly fallen snow after warming it to room temperature. I placed the paper towel in a Ziploc bag to wait until germination in a tent that averages 80 degrees F. 1/31 - Germination occurred and I was careful to plant the seed into the soil and barely cover the seed in soil so it can breakthrough with little difficulty. My bed is prepared as it contains re-amended soil from previous grows. I re-amended with worm castings from Michigan Worm Works and Build a Soil Craft Blend. I also have been watering with aged tap water and had this setup for 6 weeks prior to using. I have added 150 or so red wigglers and grew a cover crop of dicone radish and terminated the crop. I allowed the microbes and worms to chew through that crop and then added a top 2-inch layer of fresh Build a Soil 3.0 soil. I topped that with a barley straw mulch cover to hold moisture and protect the topsoil. Can't wait to see the results! 2/1 - Noted that topsoil was dry under mulch layer. Watered in one gallon of aged tap water with 1/16 tsp of Jay Plantspeaker's Quillaja Saponaria Extract Powder 20 as a wetting agent. 2/4 - The first set of leaves have emerged. Looking forward to starting further growth. Watered in one gallon of aged tap water with 1/16 tsp of Jay Plantspeaker's Quillaja Saponaria Extract Powder 20 as a wetting agent.
