Chery Cola is one of my favorites and I just could not fix this one. I canceled this grow and threw most of it away. I vegged wrong and something happened to the dirt. grow a total loss... all the plants from this grow were junk, all from bugs. I had transplant issues, I got Bud Trainer cups for next time. I should have topped her but I didn't she was really really small. I have never grown this strain with any success at all.....I am starting over with a new one.... I fail at every attempt at Banana Purple Punch.... I will get it right next time!! even screwed up Apricot and that is almost impossible.... I think I will re-do this entire grow. The last one turned out beautiful.

Cherry cola is becoming an absolute chunk! She smells great,looks great and is just overall a great plant. I can’t wait to run her in the 5x5 with no room restrictions. Gorilla cookies is becoming one of the bigger plants in the tent right now! She’s getting height,smell,frost and chunk! I can’t wait to see her come late flower🔥

Our sweet lady survived a week of raind and intense wind, the golden rope you see was helping the buds to stay still and to help save branches from breaking. The lady is super sugary and sticky right now, but the buds seem like they are not gonna thicken more than that. This plant has been stressed multiple times during her lifetime, from broken branches to light overdose, she has been kept away from direct sunlight since than, so this is the cause we attribute to this slower growth. Our biggest doubt is about harvest time. The buds do not seem big at all, but they look very orange and the breed's harvest is said to be in mid October, so we should start flushing! While I think we should wait untill the last week of the month, F. says i's almost time for drying. 😵😲 Looking at some pics of last year's harvest I am afraid this lady is not going to produce as much as we tought, maybe because this is our first experience with so many nutrients. Hope someone can help about harvest and buds overall look 😬😬

Okay had to start 2 purple strains one of them being LSD-25 and the other Blackberry in the second journal. I still have 2 open air pots filled to the brim with fox farm ocean forest, froggy frog, and coco choir in approximately a 2:1:1 ratio. I'm still anticipating the unreleased strains from fastbuds fingers crossed. I placed both these girls taproot down right before the Eclipse. Day 1 above ground: August 23rd. I like to stretch them early to allow for more room for watering since I like to bush them out. Stretching them early allows for a long strong stem and hopefully sets the precedent for future growth rate. Stretched them out s littlllllle too much haha forgot my light was in 50%. No harm no fail. I'll take better pics when they take off.

These ladies did'nt stretched much so far in week 2 but that could be due to the light intensity and distance I had it at in week 1 of the stretch period. This strain is really starting to show signs of that Gassy, Sweet, Creamy smelly that I was looking for and so far these ladies have been a breeze to grow.

Grow Specs: Breeder: Mephisto Genetics Strain: Skywalker F5 Genetic heritage: Skywalker Kush Cut (selected from DNA seeds) x Triangle F3 Indica/Sativa: 35/65 Est. cycle time: 65-70 days from sprout Medium: Soil, Mephisto Genetics Super Soil, Worm Castings Light: 1/2 - 132W actual LED Update schedule: I will try to send out the updates every Saturday or Sunday. For more frequent updates, add me on Instagram @grimbolthedruid Grow Schedule to Date: Sprout: 3/1/17 (Full moon) Age: Day 25 as of 3/25/18 Updates/Observations: - Water only for last week and next because the soil is plenty hot. No need to cycle down lots of nutrients right now. - I water about every 2-3 days. - Trying to keep the soil always slightly moist and never let it dry completely to keep microbes (and by extension the soil) at optimum health. - She has a very symmetrical structure and appears very healthy, though she is showing some leaf curl. - Growing very vigorously. Cheers! -G

79 days!!!!! and the harvest is already harvested :) The whole growth until week 6 went very well, then the girl got a little worse, (I think it's my mistake, which I described in previous weeks), but besides all that she managed to ripen perfectly, matured stiff flowers, full of shiny sticky trichomes with a very, very sweet aroma ;) 210 gr of wet buds, I also collected a lot of sugar leaves from which I will make bubble hash :) I can't wait to taste it :) this is my first trip with Sweetseeds Looking at the flowers I understand that I will definitely repeat it :) I will leave more feedback after the smoke review:) good luck to everyone.

Start of week 10. I will plan for a harvest at the end of this week. I will watch the trichomes. I'm planning to flush for 3 days at a low ppm. A lower branch that broke under bud wait should be ready to sample Friday. Ok I sampled some half dry bud. The bud was from a thin lower branch which bent down and broke. The worst possible bud as it was far from the lights and not dry. I cut up the bud and put it in my Pax vape. Pre heating the vape a few times hoping to finish the drying process. The sample was surprisingly smooth with a nice head high and no mad munchies. The smell had a licorice/anise pine smell. This is a good energy strain that hits fast. Too early to comment on smell or taste without proper dry and cure. I will harvest plant in twoish days if all goes well with flush.

This week I low stress trained plant a bit and removed a few leaves that blocks light for lower nodes so it grows more equally! In the end I am moving to my main flowering tent.

It’s now showing pistils pretty well, and I got some critical peyote from Barney farms In a napkin right now There is a little burnt tip on fan leaves I think too much nitrogen since it’s in the big pot and the leaves are dark green. But looks good happy I picked the internodes during preflower too

Super easy trim✂️ The buds are super dense & sticky🤩 For the smell it’s cherry & blackcurrant with a gassy touch the Cherry Cola Diesel ⛽️🍒

I mean, overall this was an extremely painless grow. The test of whether we should or shouldn't top autos is still TBD imo. Our topped candidate produced denser, frostier buds, but weighed slightly less, at 14 grams of bud total. And our lst plant produced 18 grams of bud, not as frosty, and almost as dense as our topped girl. I'll be topping autoflowers from here on out only under the circumstance I have 4+ to grow at the same time. Seems like it could be used to speed up the autoflower grow cycle if done properly, like with right. Since I'm doing a perpetual cycle, it's still a viable option for me in the long run. A few tips I have for anyone growing this strain in organics: Start feeding bloom nutes a little bit prior to flower transition - this makes the transition more seemless. From weeks 1-3 flower, I slowly dropped the grow dosage until I cut off grow nutes week 3 flower. Starting the flush around week 6 flower seemed to really bring out this plant's potential. But I think you could get away with starting the flush around week 5. I hope this helps anyone trying this strain out. It's a good one, I hope to see more journals of it, eventually. Cheers everyone! Time for me to take a well-deserved puff. :) ☁️ 🌼

Soo as promised I got some close ups! And a couple videos! Please like and follow! I’m wondering if I cut nutes out a little too early because trichomes are like 90% milky but only a few Amber still. Maybe 2% amber. She is doing awesome and I honestly can’t wait to try her out it was well worth the wait! Let me know what you all think!

Week 10 - 07/18/2025 Plants topped for between 10 and 12 leads. AzaMax treatment positive. Give BrediniGreeny credit for reviewing last video and calling broad mites. Really helped. Placing cedar mulch around perimeter for critter control. Home remedy foliar spraying entire garden. Otherwise foliar with AzaMax. Moth repellent spray Water 4 ounces Essential oil of cedar – 20 to 30 drops Essential oil of lavender - 10 to 20 drops Essential oil of peppermint - 5 to 10 drops Essential oil of eucalyptus - 10 to 20 drops Optional: Citronella essential oil - 5 drops

Coming at you guys with my second grow here. I started late this diary, vegging is boring anyway. These guys should be done within the next week or two. I’ve honestly never smelled anything like the strawberry currently in my tent. I’ve been growing for a while and have been skeptical with the naming choices these breeders make. My last run I grew a strawberry crinkle. It didn’t have the slightest smell of sweetness. This girl is packing some unique Turpines and I can’t wait to try it.
