Four Peaks

Marbanya 2025-01-12 to 2025-01-18 01-12 Topped - Day 1 Veg Full 1000 ppm feed at bottom 01-16 Day 5 Transplanted to 3 gallon fabric pot. The bottom of the stem seems week and fails to hold the plant upright. I thought it might be moisture rot from the plastic starter pots, but no rot noticeable. The weakened base (diameter of a pencil) requires support. I will start applying a small amount of silica to help. I am also growing two other "Four Peaks" cultivars from Trichome Bros, and one of them has the same issue. If they fail to stand on their own, after the silica application, they will be tossed.

Marbanya 2025-01-19 to 2025-01-25 Four Peaks is a cultivar from Trichome Bros. It is a cross of Chernobyl (Symer cut) and Sour Strawberry Pie #7. I am familiar with the Chernobyl lineage, which is more sativa dominant, with long, narrow leaflets and a heavy lemon-lime smell. I'm anxious to see what the other parent contributes.

Marbanya 2025-01-26 to 2025-02-01 The entire Four Peaks line has hollow stems, the same as from the Chernobyl Slymer Cut parent. LST is difficult (not impossible) and I have a lost a couple of branching tops in the process. I needed to be more on top of watching these Chernobyl-derived cultivars and add LST clips as early as possible, because the window is narrow.

Marbanya 2025-02-02 to 2025-02-08 This hybrid is experiencing rapid growth, outpacing the other plants in the veg tent. Its growth rate is similar to that of its parent cultivar, Chernobyl, but I am unfamiliar with Sour Strawberry Pie #7, other than what is posted on a review of the product. It is a Luscious Genetics Cut, as that is where these Freebie seeds came from. Chernobyle x Sour Strawberry Pie #7 (Grape Pie x Sour Strawberry Kush (Luscious Genetics Cut)).

Marbanya 2025-02-09 to 2025-02-15 Continued to LST and Top. I have backed off the nutrients (FloraGro) by 1/3 to slow growth. I will be moving this plant to the flower tent next week, as it is a trial grow for this cultivar cross.

Marbanya 2025-02-16 to 2025-02-22 I am moving this cultivar to the flower tent at a smaller size than I normally do for two reasons. First, it is an experimental, or trial grow of a freebie seed from Luscious Genetics and Trichome Bros. Second, the parent cultivars are both sativa-dominant and I expect a good deal of stretch in the flower stage.

Marbanya 2025-02-23 to 2025-03-01 Stretching and flowering FAST. This Four Peaks line of cultivars from TrichomeBros.com are exciting to watch in the flowering stage.

Marbanya 2025-03-09 to 2025-03-15 Now that the stretch has ended, the buds are starting to plump up

Marbanya 2025-03-16 to 2025-03-22 I am reducing the Cal-Mag and Nitrogen so I can increase the Silica Blast and keep my ppm totals to less than 1300 if/when possible. The flowers are already developing a reddish-purple to orange tint, and the aroma is a well balanced combination of the two parents, Chernobyl (Slymer cut) and the Sour Strawberry Pie #7 (from Luscious Genetics) - Citrus & Berries. The flowers are hard and compact, but I expected larger nuggets by this time. 03-17 Feeding - 0.5 gallon - 70F / 1150ppm / 5.9pH 03-18 Water - 0.5 gallon 03-20 Feeding - No Silica or Cal-Magj - 60F / 1270ppm / 6.0pH: 0.5 gallon 03-22 Water - 0.5 gallon @ 215ppm / 58F/ 6.1pH 03-23 Feed - (No Cal-Mag or Silica Blast): 60F / 1300ppm / 6.1 pH

Marbanya 2025-03-23 to 2025-03-29 Four Peaks is producing short stacks of hard-packed nuggets. Humidity control is going to be critical going into the final weeks of flower. She is drinking about 0.5 gallons a day of nutrients, or water. I am cutting back on the nitrogen, and feeding silica blast and cal-mag about one a week. The leaves are minimal and this should be an EXTREMELY easy cultivar to trim. She is similar to the Chernobyl parent in aroma, though it has less of the lemon-lime essence and more berries. I'm looking forward to sampling this jewel from Trichome Bros.

Marbanya 2025-03-30 to 2025-04-05 Four Peaks is turning out to be a beautiful cultivar, both in color and aroma. She has enough of the Sour Strawberry Pie genes to mute the lemon-lime of her Chernobyl lineage, creating a fantastic balance of citrus and berries.

Marbanya 2025-04-06 to 2025-04-12 I have been hoping the humidity would drop enough to keep from adding the dehumidifier back to the flowering tent. But, this entire week has been a wrestling match with the temp and RH, and at the end of the week, I put the dehumidifier back into the tent. This cultivar started showing purple coloring when the temps dropped into the low 60's.

Marbanya 2025-04-13 to 2025-04-17 I had considered letting this one flower to 63 days, but at day 56, she has ample amber trichomes and I don't see her getting any better than she is. The aroma of sweet and sour berries, along with undertones or lemon-lime from the Chernobyl parent, are super heavy. The flowers are slightly larger than a golf ball, but hard and dense. Like the Chernobyl parent, Four Peaks did not stack tightly on the stem in this indoor grow. However, I suspect the flower spacing to be much more compact, much like the Chernobyl parent, in an outdoor grow situration. Starting on 04-07, I began a water-only flush for 10 days, and I chopped her on 04-17 (Day 56) From the look and smell, I am VERY anxious to try this one out.

Marbanya I could have harvested at 8 weeks (56 days), but I went for the over-ripe flavors and aromas with an extra week for a total of 63 days. My only regret was not getting some extra beans or cloning this particular cultivar, as it turned out to be a nice genetic blend of terpene profiles (aroma-wise). I am anxious to try this little gem.
