Hey hey! Nice looking grow here, thanks for running the diary I will follow along. I am very curious about the cherry cola. Good luck and welcome to the grow diaries community!

@UnorthadoxDude, thanks appreciate it! Cherry cola has a very unique flavor and love the sativa effects. Dense buds. Next time I would grow it in 5 gallons and it would probably produce with tremendous results
