Emergen C trifft Frozen Black Cherry🥦

Dexxxt Today, the plants were repotted into their final pots and the environmental conditions were adjusted. Now it's time to wait and see how the genetics develop and what the final product will bring.

Dexxxt The plants have recovered very quickly after the FIM and are continuing their growth without delay. Currently, they are mainly being watered with pH-adjusted water (set to about 5.8–6.0) and Powerzyme from Hesi. The PPFD value has been increased from 300 to 600 µmol/m²/s. The lamp provides very even and strong illumination, which is clearly reflected in the vitality and growth behavior of the plants. Strain Development: Frozen: Grows as expected, very bushy and robust, showing a compact and healthy growth pattern. Emergen C: Develops more upright and columnar, but forms good and vital side shoots. The sativa-dominant influence is clearly recognizable. In the coming days, LST (Low Stress Training) will begin to better direct the growth, promote the side shoots, and achieve an even light distribution. Additionally, light defoliation of the lower areas is planned to allow for better ventilation and light penetration.

Dexxxt Hey, little update from the tent — a bit late, I've been on the go a lot, but now it's time! Top left, top right, and bottom center are my Frozen Black Cherry. The girls are pushing hard, growing fast, bushy, and really eager! In between, the Emergen C are hanging out — they're taking it a bit more relaxed. They’re growing rather slender and cozy, but are absolutely easy to handle. I've bent and shaped them all with LST, and I have to say: it's going really well! The side branches are coming through nicely, the canopy stays open, and the light is spreading perfectly. My goal: I want the ladies to end up at 60 to 70 cm — compact, but fully loaded. So far, I’m more than satisfied, the FBC is already ready to go and hopefully the EC will catch up soon. It's definitely going to be exciting, I'll keep you updated!

Dexxxt They are in flowering since today, have developed well, and have grown nicely. They were lollipopped and will now be worked on again at the end of the stretch. Everything is going great — they are thriving. The fun is just getting started!

Dexxxt Hey, the Frozen Black Cherries are now all three at the back. She's growing really impressively strong and is super eager to go up — pretty wild for being 80% Indica. The Emergen C in the front are also quite pretty, just a bit slower. And for being a 50/50 hybrid, she stays pretty small compared to the Cherry, but whatever — I'm really liking all of them so far. I'm really curious about the Emergen C, her parents are Orange Push Pop x Sherbinski's, crazy combo. I've heard a lot about the Frozen Black Cherry and just wanted to experience a strain with such a high THC content (35%) myself. Let's see what I can achieve with her. Today was the first time I watered with Bloom Complex, TNT will be left out from now on. The stretch has been good so far, but it could be that the Frozen keeps stretching even more. I defoliated based on feel down below and removed everything useless. It'll work out.

Dexxxt The ladies were defoliated, and no further measures have taken place so far. They appear vital, drink a lot of water, and are developing well overall. At the beginning of the flowering phase, a very strong smell was noticeable, but it has significantly decreased over time. It is striking that the strain FBC has already started producing intense resin early on, and noticeably many crystals are forming. Overall, the plants look healthy and vigorous. This report was created 10 days later due to a lack of time.

Dexxxt Hey there, the ladies are growing as always, vibrant, and nothing has changed — they are still being watered only with the nutrient solution. The Frozen already smells strongly of cherry, with a distinct hint of mint. The Emergen reminds me of fresh orange peels… delicious! Overall, the ladies are very resinous. However, what bothers me a bit: they react quite sensitively to pruning after the stretch. Either it's due to the genetics of the cuttings I bought, or they are just temperamental characters. The main buds have gotten relatively thick pretty quickly. The second nodes from the top, on the other hand, are already quite small — more for the fish. But maybe they are just late bloomers and will push out more towards the end. We'll see if anything else comes. But all in all, they are easy to care for and cause little stress. That's how it should be!

Dexxxt Hey, Another week gone... It's really flying by right now. With the heat, it's unbeatable terrible — fluctuations between 25 and 28 degrees are the norm. The humidity usually stays within a manageable range, but on some days it climbs up to 72%. The ladies are super frosty and like to drop a few — the buds are steadily increasing. Overall, it was another chill week with them. Catch you next week, take care!

Dexxxt Hey there, The Frozen Black Cherries are super frosty and smell heavily of citrus and cherry. They are slowly getting a bit bigger, but not much – instead, they are getting stickier. The Emergen-C, on the other hand, is getting really big and juicy and still has an intense orange peel scent. Every day there are new changes, the ladies are just awesome! I'm really excited to see how it goes. See you next week :)

Dexxxt Hey, quick update: It's pretty warm in here right now, up to 30 degrees in the box, but everything is still chill and under control. The ladies are smelling extremely right now — almost like my armpits in this weather. They're getting really nice and resinous, more than before, and putting on some good mass. The leaves are slowly starting to turn yellow; they're pulling from their last reserves. You can tell it's slowly coming to an end. The FBC is already showing a bit of amber everywhere. I'm giving the girls about two more weeks, let's see what happens.

Dexxxt Hey everyone, it's slowly coming to an end, at least I think so with the Frozen Black Cherry. The EmergenC also looks pretty much done when you check out the trichomes. There's still some mass to gain, but I'm not a fan of too much amber. I'll keep a close eye on it in the next few days to see how much longer I can stretch it. It would be awesome if there were still 7 days left! The Frozen Black Cherry is really delivering right now! Even more resin, a wild lemon-cherry scent, and the color is just a dream. Definitely my prettiest grow so far. The EmergenC is also piling on the trichomes — many are already beautifully milky, and there are a few amber ones too. The smell of orange peels is really intense. Growth-wise, it started off more sativa-dominant, and towards the end, it definitely leans more towards indica. A real beast, it was a lot of fun to grow. It's a shame that EmergenC is still so unknown. In the end, we'll see how it performs in taste, smell, and effect. The cultivation so far has been top-notch — super easy to care for and without major issues. Watering is still done only with pH-balanced water. We'll catch up again soon!

Dexxxt Now the time has come – the Frozen Black Cherry is done, and I’m really satisfied with the result. Flowering & Harvest: Harvested in week 9 of flowering – trichomes were mostly milky with a few amber tips, just how I like it. The buds are compact, fat, and really resinous. Everything stuck while trimming; the flowers were like coated in sugar. In terms of color, it really stepped up at the end – some dark, almost purple accents, which was visually a highlight. Smell & Resin Production: During the last weeks, it built up a lot of aroma – fruity, sweet, with a slightly gassy undertone. The smell held up nicely while drying. The resin content is impressive; it could easily be interesting for extracts as well.

Dexxxt In the last week, the buds have really bulked up – compact, super resinous, and intense in smell. Trichomes were about 90% milky, the rest slightly amber – just my sweet spot. The color of the leaves turned dark green in places with slight purple hues – really nice finish.
