Hello Diary,
Cherry Pie has finished its last week, I harvested it two days after taking the photo.
73 days since I put the seeds in the ground.
65 days since the start of the vegetation.
Really very fast.
But the result is impressive as you can see in the photos.
The flowers are large and dense, the branches bend slightly under their weight.
The main cola is especially large and full of large flowers covered in trichomes.
The flowers are very hard to the touch and sticky under the fingers, especially the flowers on the main cola.
The leaves have started to turn autumn yellow which is also an indicator of its maturity.
The smell is very intense at this stage, the whole room smells like plants when I open the grow box.
Watering was standard, every three days.
This week I stopped adding nutrients, I just lowered the p.H. to 6.0 and water the plants with clean water.
After taking the photos, I left it in the grow box for two more days to drink all the water from the soil to make it easier to dry.
Before cutting, I removed all the leaves from the plant to also make drying faster and have less work to trim the dried flowers.
After cutting, I left it upside down in the grow box to dry.
Now all that remains is to see how much it has really rewarded me. See you when that happens.
Here's what the last week looked like.
19/09/2024 - Day 57.
Watering.
I prepared 9 liters of water, lowered the pH to 6.0 and used that amount to water all three plants on the farm.
22/09/2024 - Day 60.
Watering.
I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier.
24/09/2024 - Day 62.
I watered them all with 1.5 liters of water each plant so that they were fresh for the photo shoot.
25/09/2024 - Day 63.
End of the last, 9th week since Cherry Pie began its journey. Photo shoot.
27/09/2024 - Day 65.
Cherry Pie has been harvested.
That's almost all from me for this diary, there is still the final report that follows after drying and testing. Thank you all once again for your support and comments.

today was the day 🙏
time was running out and i have to harvest "Hilde" 😏
summary of "Hilde" 92 days in under 3 min. enjoy 😅🙏
I dry the plant in the boiler room because the climate there is very good. I also darkened the room so that no sunlight disturbs the drying process.😏
"Darkroom" Day 2 for "Hilde" 😏😄😜

The strain grows pretty easy. She can definitely eat a lot nutes but be careful into flowering her ph tends to swing very slightly but if not caught early can be a bit detrimental later. Grew a 5 ft plant in a 3.5 gallon res and she flourished. Good and fun photo period plant.

Video quality is so so for closeups with GoPro. Both phenos are super fire 2 more watering and will be flushing for about two weeks should take me near harvest at week 9-10.
Mars Hydro FC4800 dimmed at 300w, will help lower temps and bring out those colours.

Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023
Everything is looking good the roots are making thier way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green.
Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023
Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying postition all leaves happily lifting towards the light.
Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023
Looking beautiful today and looked like she could use her first haircut.. gave her a TOP off. Roots are laying in the water everything is looking right on track..
Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023
walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. She had roots nicely in the water.. this grow is on!!!
Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023
Humidity was a little low this morning, so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that, the temp looks great, the PH looks great, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy.
Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023
Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started first hair cut given and both side nodes are growing. Everything is looking good and on track.. A lot better than week one of the last grow when I had them drowning week 1.
Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.

Topped to 4th node. Started brewing ~5l of neem/kelp/aloe
Trying out LST clips for the first time. Added a couple of small LST clips on the 4 largest fan leaves.
One of the large lower fan leaves snapped off this morning when I was adjusting the LST clips. It looked like it had already snapped yesterday.
Adjusted VPD to lower humidity

Day 21 Flowering: Hi all, hope we are all good and green..This week has been the foundation for flowering weeks using their stretch period. They are all in a good position for getting plenty of light in their own space. I only had to do a little light leaf tucking to keep all the budlets with light on them. .The Herz o g is looking nice and open structured with decent sized nuggets forming
Her nodes are still spaced apart but her main should have a joined up cola at some point.
Strawberry Cola has really spread out nicely and matched the size of the other ladies . she has some very good bud growth too.
Monster mash is really thickening upnwith bud sets now and I can see howna big yield is achievable from this strain. Nice formations of buds on her more natural frame too. Onward andnuoward grow its. now it should get interesting. be safe.

Updating this 2 days late today is day 23 but the pics were taken on day 21/22. The leaf strip was a bitch, took me a day and a half to do the 5x9 and I'm still workin on the 4x8. I would have paid someone atleast $400 to do this for me it was brutal my back is toast. Hopefully it will pay off in the end 🤦♂️ everything looks promising tho.

Salut les Growmies,
Quelle superbe aventure cette génétique de chez Exotic Seeds.
Cette Zkittalicious depuis le debut m'étonne , de part sa grande vitalité .Malgré l attaque du caht , elle a reprise le dessus , elle a réagi merveilleusement bien a l entrainement que je lui ai fait subir ,LST ,Topping.....
Et maintenant comme vous pouvez le voir elle développe de nombreux sites floraux et elle devient de jour en jour de plus en plus frosty.
Donc en gros vous pouvez vous tourner vers Exotic Seed les yeux fermés et je lui donne une note de 9/10 pour sa vigueur, beauté, odeur pour la production on verra plus tard. Mais au vue des resultats mors de la phase croissance et debut de flo . Je m attend a de tres bons resultats 👍👍👍👍👍🤜🤛Merci Exotic Seeds.

Hi Gromie's welcome to my 8th grow, have been half hearted at doing perpetual growing in recent times. Just get a bit lazy after a grow& harvest ( as U put a lot of time, love,& energy & passion into those beautiful girls who will reciprocate the love in return in the form of beautiful sticky solid dense & plentiful buds😍 but it can take a bit out of you! I tell myself I'll take a week off & then I've got around a pound+ to trim & I end up slacking for a couple of weeks, even been guilty of murdering a few clones/ young plants by starvation & or mistreat them & slow/stunt growth. But I am tired of running out of weed & waiting ages 4 more . I smoke a lot & recoup my grow cost, nutrient, electricity & initial investment. Due to demand! (Seem people prefer to get home grown hydro due to the very high quality & great terpenes) it runs out Fast. So after much thought I've decided to get right on top of thing's with my grows this will be my 8th grow in just over 2years & the plan is to run an expanded & upgraded Hydroponic perpetual operation. Originally started in 1mx1m with 600watt hps/mh . Upgraded to 1.2m tent & mars hydro FC-E480 480watt. Fooled around a bit with perpetual using 1m tent 4 veg. 7 quite successful grows & harvest's. Average a pound per grow from 4 plants easily with the FC-E 4800. Upgraded to 1.2 X 2.4m tent for flower, using old1.2m flower tent as new veg tent & old 1mx1m veg tent will be a drying tent /extra grow space if needed.Ive also set up cloning & propergation area , storage space 4 nutrients & grow equipment & workbench/ desk to record diary/grow journal . Both tents are hooked up to a 2 into 1 splitter venting out window, flower tent uses filter both tents run 6" air extraction set ups. Clone light is a viper spectra p600 100watt fully dimmable to a couple of watts. I obviously don't need that many watts for clone area (on 25watts) but this light was cheaper than a led or T5 clone light & versatile, use in veg or flower tent. Veg runs a viper spectra XS1500 150 watt & have a 2 nd XS1500 if needed flower tent runs a mars hydro FC-E4800 480watt with top feed recirculating hydro. Waiting on another FC-E 4800 for the other side of flowering tent & will do some DWC that side. Should easily pull 2+ , training & scrogs hopefully closer to 3p

Over all an amazing grow from day one,
Had alot of problems through out the grow but with the help of fellow members of gd I managed to keep her going until the end,
Harvest her on day 65 was delighted with the colours and smell of the buds, hang dried in the tent for 5 days, then put in a sealed jar with a humidity pack.
I will definetly be growing this strain again but will have a browse through other diaries and see if another strain catches my eye😁
Thank you for all for all the help and support through out✌️🏻😎
