RootToRosin Week 1 – Super Buff Cherry #26 Clone Test 2026
With this grow, a documented test run of a Super Buff Cherry #26 clone from a friend’s cloning shop begins. The goal is to document the plant's development from the takeover as a rooted clone to the harvest under identical conditions and to evaluate the quality of the clone as objectively as possible. The clone was planted two days ago in Plagron clay pebbles/Coco Hydromix (60/40) and is growing under a Maxibright LED in the AutoPot system. It is fertilized with the Athena Blended Line. The focus of this run is not on maximum yield, but on plant vitality, structure, resin production, flower quality, and later product photos.
Right from the start, the Super Buff Cherry #26 stands out with its compact and even growth. The plant has short internodes, several well-developed side branches, and an overall balanced structure. Compared to the other tested genetics, it already appears very bushy and well-branched early on. The new growth looks healthy and active. Slightly wavy leaf sections are present, which is not unusual after repotting and during the adjustment phase to the new system. Otherwise, no relevant stress symptoms, necrosis, or growth problems are noticeable.
The symmetry of the plant is particularly impressive. Even at this early stage, the Super Buff Cherry #26 shows a structure that could later allow for even space utilization and easy plant management. Especially for growers who value uncomplicated growth and homogeneous development, this genetics already leaves a promising first impression. After the first two days, the Super Buff Cherry #26 presents itself as a healthy and vigorous clone with a very balanced growth form. In the coming weeks, it will be particularly interesting to see how the plant develops in terms of stretch, flower formation, and resin production compared to the other elite cuts in this test run.

RootToRosin Woche 2 – Super Buff Cherry #26 Clone Test 2026
Die Super Buff Cherry #26 startet sehr überzeugend in die zweite Woche nach dem Einsetzen. Bereits im ersten Update fiel sie durch ihren kompakten und gleichmäßigen Wuchs auf. Dieser Eindruck bestätigt sich nun weiter.
Die Pflanze hat sichtbar an Blattmasse zugelegt und entwickelt zunehmend mehr Seitentriebe. Besonders positiv fällt die buschige, ausgewogene Struktur auf. Im Vergleich zu vertikaler wachsenden Genetiken wie Permanent Marker oder MAC1 bleibt die Super Buff Cherry #26 deutlich kompakter und wirkt von Natur aus sehr gut verzweigt.
Das Neuwachstum ist aktiv und gleichmäßig. Die Blätter zeigen weiterhin eine leichte Wellenstruktur, wirken dabei aber vital und gesund. Relevante Stresssymptome, größere Nekrosen oder erkennbare Wachstumsprobleme sind aktuell nicht zu sehen. Einzelne ältere Blattspitzen zeigen minimale Spuren aus der Umstellungsphase, was den Gesamteindruck jedoch nicht negativ beeinflusst.
Für die spätere Pflanzenführung macht die Super Buff Cherry #26 aktuell einen sehr starken Eindruck. Die kompakte Struktur, die gute Seitentriebentwicklung und die gleichmäßige Wuchsform könnten sich besonders positiv auf eine homogene Blütenverteilung und eine einfache Flächennutzung auswirken.

RootToRosin Week 3 – Super Buff Cherry #26 Clone Test 2026
The Super Buff Cherry #26 is looking very promising in week 3 after the onset. From week 3 day 1, the light cycle was switched to 12/12, initiating the flowering phase. At the same time, the AutoPot system was activated.
Currently, Athena Blended Bloom week 1 is running, slightly reduced to an EC of 2.1. The pH level is at 5.8. The light is set at 376 W and approximately 60 cm away.
Currently, the Super Buff Cherry #26 measures 40 cm and remains the most compact plant in comparison. Despite its shorter height, it impresses particularly with its bushy, even structure and very good natural branching.
This impression remains at the start of the flowering phase. The plant is developing several active side shoots and appears very balanced overall. The leaf structure still shows slight waves but looks vital and stable. Relevant stress symptoms, larger necroses, or visible growth problems are currently not present.
Especially positive is the even growth form. For a later homogeneous flower distribution and high-quality product photos, the Super Buff Cherry #26 currently has very good prerequisites. In the coming weeks, it will be particularly exciting to see how much it stretches despite its compact start and whether it catches up in height compared to the other cuts.

RootToRosin Flowering Week 2 – Super Buff Cherry #26 Clone Test 2026
The Super Buff Cherry #26 is progressing very promisingly through Flowering Week 2. It is running in the AutoPot system on Plagron clay pebble/coconut hydromix and is supplied with the Athena Blended Line. The pH value is at 5.8, and the Athena Bloom schedule has now been set to an EC of 2.3.
Currently, the Super Buff Cherry #26 measures 58 cm and is just slightly below Cap Junky and MAC1. Although it was the most compact plant at the beginning of the run, it has since caught up significantly and shows a very nice development.
Particularly striking remains its even, bushy structure. The plant forms several active shoot tips and appears very well branched by nature. Compared to vertically growing genetics like Permanent Marker, it remains more controlled and compact, without appearing weak.
The leaf pattern continues to show slight waves but overall appears vital and stable. Larger stress symptoms, necrosis, or significant growth problems are currently not visible. The flower sites are developing cleanly and evenly.

RootToRosin Super Buff Cherry #26 – Flowering Week 3
The Super Buff Cherry #26 reaches a height of 87 cm in flowering week 3. After growing relatively compact at the beginning of the run, it now shows a strong stretch and significantly gains height in a short time.
The AutoPot system continuously supplies the plant with the nutrient solution from the Athena Blended Bloom Line. At the beginning of the week, EC 2.53 and pH 5.7 are measured. Within about three days, the values slightly rise to around EC 2.59 and pH 6.0. The tank and tray are practically at the same level, which is why no unusual salt accumulation or microbiological activity is noticeable in the tray.
The climate is predominantly at 25–26 °C and 65–70% relative humidity. The lighting is increased to full power of 500 watts over the course of the week. Due to the strong vertical growth throughout the tent, the lamp distance is adjusted simultaneously. The Super Buff Cherry #26 handles the higher light output well. The previously visible slight wave structure of individual leaves remains, but does not significantly intensify. Relevant burns, severe leaf deformations, or clear signs of over-fertilization are not visible.
Along the long side branches, numerous evenly distributed flower sites are forming. At the same time, the plant is already visibly starting resin production. Thus, the cut in flowering week 3 shows as strongly growing, vital, and early frosty, but due to its stretch, it requires a bit more height planning than initially expected.

RootToRosin Super Buff Cherry #26 – Flowering Week 4
At BT22, Super Buff Cherry #26 receives a more extensive clean-out along with the other plants. The lower, poorly lit shoots, popcorn buds, and excess leaves are removed. After the trimming, the light intensity is reduced to 75% for one day. The plant responds well to the intervention and shows normal growth shortly after.
The height increases from about 87 to 101 cm within the week. Super Buff Cherry makes significant progress while remaining well manageable compared to the Permanent Marker. Its stretch is between the compact Cap Junky and the fast-growing Permanent Marker, on par with the MAC1.
The even structure is particularly impressive. The individual flowering shoots reach a similar height, allowing for a relatively homogeneous canopy to develop without much training. No major deficiency symptoms or noticeable stress symptoms are apparent.
The buds are increasingly gaining volume and already show a good resin development along with slight purple nuances.
Super Buff Cherry also receives the nutrient solution according to the Athena-Bloom scheme for week 4 at approximately EC 2.65 and pH 5.9. Overall, it appears vital, even, and straightforward. So far, it is developing into a very balanced plant with strong stretch and well-distributed flower structure.

RootToRosin Super Buff Cherry #26 – Flowering Week 5
Super Buff Cherry #26 reaches about 102 cm at the beginning of the fifth flowering week. With only around one centimeter of growth, the stretch is practically finished for her as well.
The plant maintains its even and well-controllable structure. The individual tops continue to be at a similar height, forming a homogeneous canopy. No significant signs of stress or deficiencies are noticeable.
The buds are visibly gaining volume and increasingly developing resin. At the same time, the characteristic appearance of the genetics is becoming more pronounced. First intense color tones are becoming visible, and the typical sweet-spicy smell is spreading throughout the tent.
Nutrient supply follows the Athena-Bloom schedule for week 5 at approximately EC 2.4 and pH 5.7. The plant continues to process both the 500 W light output and the climate of predominantly 26–27 °C and 60–63 % humidity very well.
Super Buff Cherry remains one of the most straightforward and consistent plants of the run.
