Hello Diary, I'm starting a new round on my little Farm, the 18th since I started growing these beautiful plants. There are again three different Autoflowering strains at the Farm: Cherry Pie Auto, Purple Lemonade Auto and one of the legendary strains White Widow Auto. This journal will be dedicated to the Cherry Pie Automatic. To begin with, I will write a few words about Cherry Pie Auto itself. Cherry Pie Auto has an impressive family tree. As the autoflowering version of the terpene-packed Cherry Pie, this strain has close links to both Granddaddy Purple and Durban Poison. These ancestors occupy opposite ends of the indica-sativa spectrum, meaning Cherry Pie Auto features a balanced genetic profile. The zingy and cerebral qualities of Durban Poison—a pure South African sativa—and the fruity terpenes of Granddaddy Purple both shine through in their fast-growing successor. Cherry Pie Auto shares many of the effects and flavors of the original cultivar. Her moderate THC content of 19% drives a mentally uplifting yet physically relaxing experience. Alongside her pleasant effects, this cultivar also serves up complex flavors of blueberry, fruit, and candy. Cherry Pie Auto grows relatively large for an auto, which equates to big yields. Indoor plants peak at 100cm and produce up to 450g/m², ready to harvest in as little as nine weeks after shoots emerge from the soil. SET-UP ON MY LITTLE FARM: Box - Secret Jardin DS120W 120x60x178 Lights - MIGRO ARAY 4 - 240W Ventilation - TT Silent-M 100 Filter - Primaklima filter PK 100/125 Fan - Oscillating Koala Fan Soil - BioBizz Light - Mix Pot - 11L fabric pots Seed - Royal Queen Seeds Nutrition - RQS Organic nutrition Let's officially start the diary. 16/07/2024 Planting plants. This time I decided on 11 lit. fabric pots, my dear friends at RQS sent me these nice pots and it's not like this is my first time using them. They are great to handle and prevent me from over watering the plants. For soil, I use BioBizz's Light Mix, mixed with Easy Boost organic nutrition in the form of pellets. I put 50g of pellets on the 11 liter pot. After that I put Seeaweed, 1g/lit and finally Mycorrhiza Mix which I put 5g/lit. After that, I mixed the soil in the pot well and soaked it with water. I put Seed Booster in the water, a new product from the rich range of organic nutrients from RQS. I made a hole in the middle of a few centimeters and put a seed inside. I did the same with the other two strains and after that I put them in the grow box. 20/07/2024 In the morning I sprinkled the surface of the soil with water, not too much, and by the end of the day all three plants had sprouted. 21/07/2024 I watered the plants, I gave each approximately 1 liter of water to which I added Seed Booster again. Before that, I photographed the plants. 23/07/2024 Watering. I repeated the same procedure as two days earlier. That's all from me for now, I'm looking forward to a new trip as always. See you soon.

Week 3 - Pre-Flower Good a little nuteburn I quess, this week only pH'd Water. I think the Nuteburn is because I used Root Juice for a longer time then advertised, so yeah.

Just wow! She turned into such a beast! Feeding her every other day to keep up at this point! So many bud sites 👏👏

This is now the one before the last week of my grow. Since it's my first grow, I'm not sure when to harvest, I wanted to wait another week and then harvest what do you think ?!

I harvested 226 grams of dried and trimmed bud plus a bunch of trim and popcorn buds that I didn’t weigh. Definitely had it's ups and downs with my pet rabbit eating one of my plants in the first few weeks :( One of my girls also didn't make it to the end, I must of overfed her at one point and the stress was too much. This amount of buds though will keep me and my friends happy for a long time though! Thank you to all those that helped with making my first grow a success! I certainly learned a lot & can't wait to do it all again - for now I've been enjoying smoking the buds and making edibles :D It took me a few hours to trim all the buds. I didn't measure the wet weight of the plant as I hung the whole thing up to dry as soon as the lights came off. The roots were plentiful and healthy. Even my girlfriend tried smoking with me for the first time ever and she loved it!!!

No issues with these girls so far. I went ahead and LST both of them and spread them out. I got to keep them shorter then 24 inches. I haven't decided if I should defoliate...... they are looking a little bushy but for now I would rather not stress them. Light penetration is still very good with the top and side lighting. Maybe I will change my mind as the next week progresses. They are just starting to flower on day 22. (Day 1 of week 4) so they just got there last dose of Gold Shield Silica. Temps have been pretty good. It got 86F the other day but I opened it up before they got too hot, average day temps have been 75-82F

Check it! This is just my and my homie gallery. Guerillas epic place! 😁

Just keeping an eye on her for the time being. Looks like she has stopped stretching and is starting to fill out again. I'm just hoping the defoliation didn't slow her down too much. Day 72 watered 3l Day 72 Test Time Lapse Day 74 watered 1.75l

Wir sind in BW 4, und die Pflanzen zeigen jetzt klar, dass sie in der Hauptblüte angekommen sind. Der Stretch ist komplett abgeschlossen – stattdessen liegt der volle Fokus auf Bud-Aufbau und Trichomentwicklung. 24K Gold legt kräftig nach: Die Buds verdichten sich sichtbar, die Kelche schwellen an und erste feine Kristalle sind unter normalem Licht bereits zu erkennen. Das Aroma wird intensiver – eine Mischung aus süß-würzig und leicht erdig. Ihre Struktur bleibt offen, was für eine hervorragende Luftzirkulation sorgt. Gelato 33 präsentiert sich kompakter, aber mit dichten, gleichmäßigen Blütenansätzen entlang aller Triebe. Ihre Tops sind etwas kleiner, wirken aber extrem harzreich. Die Blätter bleiben sattgrün und vital, keine Anzeichen von Nährstoffstress oder Überdüngung. Nach dem Entfernen des Netzes stehen beide Pflanzen stabil – die Struktur hält von selbst. Die Tropfbewässerung läuft konstant und gleichmäßig, Drain-Kontrolle regelmäßig durchgeführt. Nährstoff-Setup: • 💧 Canna Coco A + B → 8 ml/l • 📈 EC 1.7 pH 6.0 • 🌡️ Temperatur: 25–26 °C Tag / 21 °C Nacht • 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit: 45–50 % • 💨 Umluft: stark, freie Bewegung im Zelt Der Grow läuft stabil, semi-hydroponic durch das Tropfsystem. Das Wurzelwerk profitiert von der stetigen Sauerstoffzufuhr, was sich in starkem Blütenwachstum zeigt. Ab jetzt beginnt die spannende Phase – Dichte, Duft und Harz nehmen mit jedem Tag zu.

Gave her a heavy defoliation! She's growing very strong, and needed a little thinning out! The defoliation promotes the lower buds growth, by allowing more light penetration! The defoliation also ensures that airflow throughout the plant is strong!

It's going very well, nice even canopy and she's filled my 70x70cm tent. On the cusp of the flowering stage, going to go very easy on the nutrients this time. Will start at 1/8 photo period recommended level and ramp up to 1/2.

I found out that we aren’t supposed to give the plants the runoff water oops!! But She is doing great imo .. I’m considering going to a larger pot maybe a 10 gallon!!? Update I have the 10 gallon pot waiting on promixhp but I’m still not sure if I should transplant at this point!?????????? Well I decided not to transplant into a larger pot so the 3 gallon is going to be her home. I also watered yesterday with the full amount of nutrients that Emerald Harvest suggest because in doing some research on Purple kush and found out that Purple kush will actually uptake all the recommended dose ages of nutrients AMAZING and so I gave it a shot! Also I have the Migro 240w at 75% and gradually making my way to 100% before the last two weeks. So far I’ve learned a lot and had plenty of awesome suggestions and answers from everyone within the growdiaries.com community. Thank you

Easy grow, she don't need much attention 💪

Der Grow ist erfolgreich abgeschlossen und hat echt spaß gemacht!🔥 Einfach anzubauen und wunderschön!

Another busy week with the vege. I gave it microbes, a HID lamp at 400 watts, sprayed for bugs and also covered the media with plastic wrap to get rid of 3 or 4 gnarts and of course a had another flood with the GoGro water system and I took one plant out of the garden because she is frozen in time. I still don't know why. The trellis is doing good. Lots of work.

It's week 10 of flowering, and Lemon Cherry Gelato is slowly starting to broaden out a bit. However, she'll still need some time—about 2-3 weeks, I estimate. From now on, she'll only be given tap water with a pH level of 6.5. The leaves are slowly turning purple. 🍋🍒🍦

57 days of flower. Lookin like they are gonna go at least 10-11 weeks.. starting to think the burning on these girls were actually a P deficiency, started adding half a dose of bud xl with the jacks and they seem to be responding well. Been feeding around 750ppm this week run off was around 950 think I will continue at 750 but drop it to 500 next week and ride her out

04.18 F21 04.24 F28

18/05/2023 Day 36 - Today i finally fed her after 1 week without feeding. Kept almost the same feeding from last week, just removed root juice and alg-a-mic and rised MagNifiCal to 1,5 ml/L Day 37 - Today she stretched nicely and i noticed her first pre flowers so preflowering begins, next fedding i´ll add 1ml/L Alga Bloom and Top-Max and will slowly rise up to 4ml/L Day 39 - Today i fed her again, added 1ml/L Alga Bloom and 1ml/L Top-Max and rised MagNifiCal to 1,8 ml/L. Has been hot and dry these days. (for my zone). Day 40 - She´s growing well. This afternoon i sprayed under her leafs with Alg-a-mic. Soon i´ll defoliate her, so i want to give a good dose of vitamin b so she recovers beautifully. Day 41 - This morning sprayed her again before sunrise. I wont defoliate yet. Pot is already kind of light, so tomorrow is feeding day. Day 42 - Today i defoliated, did some LST and fed her. Added 0,5 ml/L Alga Bloom, making 1,5 ml/L in total. 😃
