Strain: SuperBuffCherry #26
Breeder: Grow More Fire Genetics
Selected by: Grow More Stress Less
Grower: MistaOC
Start: 20 October 2025
Stage: Week 1 – Vegetative Phase
⸻
General Overview
• The new run has officially begun with a fresh SuperBuffCherry #26 cut.
• Week 1 marks a clean, well-prepared start — the tent has been deep-cleaned, all tools sterilized, and the environment reset after previous challenges.
• Everything indicates a healthy, balanced beginning with strong potential for vigorous growth ahead.
⸻
Nutrients – BioTabs Organic System
• This cycle is powered entirely by BioTabs, focusing on a natural, living-soil approach rather than bottled nutrients.
• The base includes Startrex for microbial activation and Mycotrex for strong root colonization.
• BioTabs tablets provide slow-release organic feeding that keeps the root zone active and self-sustaining over time.
• Early signs show the plant responding extremely well — deep green color, no stress, and strong, early vigor.
• The BioTabs method continues to prove that simplicity and biology can outperform constant liquid feeding when the soil is alive and healthy.
⸻
Plant Development
• The SuperBuffCherry #26 is off to an excellent start.
• Growth is compact and symmetrical — internodal spacing is tight and balanced under the LED canopy.
• Leaf structure appears thick and glossy, suggesting strong root health and balanced nutrition.
• No early stress or pest pressure observed; a textbook first week.
⸻
Observations & Early Impressions
• The genetics show classic SuperBuffCherry traits — thick stems, solid branching, and a vibrant cherry-like aroma already beginning to surface when brushing the leaves.
• The plant clearly enjoys the mild, organic feeding rhythm from the BioTabs setup.
• There’s an overall impression of calm, stable development — a great contrast to the previous, pest-heavy run.
⸻
Notes & Outlook
• Focus for Week 2: continue maintaining stable humidity and airflow, and allow the root zone to fully establish before any training begins.
• If growth continues at this pace, low-stress training (LST) could start by mid-Week 2.
• The combination of Grow More Fire genetics and the BioTabs system could turn this run into one of the smoothest and most flavorful yet.
⸻
🌱 Week 1 Summary:
A strong, organic start for SuperBuffCherry #26. Powered by BioTabs and clean growing conditions, the plant shows healthy, balanced growth and excellent early vigor — exactly the kind of beginning that promises a smooth and aromatic cycle ahead.
24.10.
• Four days in, and all four SuperBuffCherry #26 plants have settled nicely into the tent.
• Growth is consistent across the board — leaves are upright, vibrant, and responding well to the environment.
• The plants show early vigor, confirming that the BioTabs setup is creating a stable and active root zone.
⸻
Training & Growth Management
• Today, all four plants were topped for the first time.
• It might be a little early in the schedule, but the structure looked ready — strong enough stems, tight internodes, and healthy new growth points.
• The goal is to encourage early lateral development and promote a wider, even canopy before the main stretch begins.
• Slight early topping can sometimes slow vertical growth temporarily, but it usually pays off with stronger side branches and more balanced bud distribution later on.
⸻
Observations
• Post-topping, the plants show no visible shock — leaves remain firm and perky.
• The BioTabs system continues to perform quietly in the background: steady nutrient release, no signs of overfeeding or pH stress.
• So far, everything feels smooth and under control — a very promising start.
⸻
Notes & Outlook
• Over the next few days, close observation will determine how each plant reacts to topping.
• If recovery remains strong, gentle LST (low-stress training) could start early in Week 2.
• The aim is to maintain an open, breathable structure to make the most of the SuperBuffCherry’s natural vigor and aroma potential.
⸻
🌱 Day 4 Summary:
Early topping complete — all four SuperBuffCherry #26 plants look healthy, confident, and well-balanced under the BioTabs regimen. A fast start with solid structure and plenty of potential ahead.
