how was the cherryjuana nute wise blimey?? fairly middle of the road?

i should also say thanks for putting on such a good test grow for them.

No thanks necessary....they were a joy to grow and smoke.

Re: Nutes - yes, fairly average, for an indica-dom....I gave them a bit too much N (probably from the enzymes - after the initial big feed with chicken shit pellets, they just got plain water with occasional seaweed, regenaroot and enzymes)....and I had a bit of Mg lockout....probably too much Ca in my chalky water.....but they didn't really bitch at all about my clumsy approach.....they were quite steady in swelling up.....8 - 9 weeks for the fruity pheno, and 9 - 10 for the plasticene/acetone pheno. Might be a bit quicker in your scrog set up, as I only gave mine 2 weeks veg.

VG made some Cherry Dog beans a while back (Chemdog D x Cherry Bomb)....got one side by side with a Cherry Bomb.

They are the same age, and although the CB is in a slightly bigger pot, it's been more vigorous than the Cherry Dog from the start.

Cherry Dog on left, Cherry Bomb on right. Just over a month from seed.

This particular Cherry Dog girl is not showing any variegation/marbling a la Chem D, but I've had a few boys previously, and they all had that trait in spades.....

They sound divine mate :) Will they taste of cherry at all or do you have to find the right pheno?

mitch - cheers. VG gets all the credit....I'm just lucky enough to get to run them. Got another CB waiting to show sex....and a cherryjuana girl waiting for pollen.....so might do the bx if the stars are right....

Speedemon......good question.....the Cherry Dog is an unknown entity at this point....I think I'm the first to run one....I'm guessing the Cherry Bomb should be fairly reliable on the cherry flavour.....but this is my first girl, so we shall have wait and see.

Cherry flavour is definitely findable in the Cherryjuanas (Herijuana x Cherry Bomb)...a black cherry/hash taste on the exhale that coats the palate...but it's a bit of a pheno hunt....plastic/nail varnish is the most common expression....I've had one cherry out of 6 girls so far.

Looks like VG has the cherry pheno running at the moment in his LED grow up in the micro forum......well worth checking out.

hey blimey thanks for the updates - tbh i'd forgotten i sent you the cherry chem testers (cherry D?)
apart from the size it's pretty hard to tell 'em apart from the CB in the picture. perhaps the ChD has slightly fatter leaves. be interesting to see what chem traits have survived - especially after CB didnt seem tooo dominant against the heri in the Cherryjuana cross... but i guess the heri ibl is a whole different stry from the Chem D which is likely a multi hybrid. nice to know the leaf marbling isnt omni-present though.

not sure if my Cherryjuana pheno is a 'cherry' pheno but it has an increasing overtone of that ascerbic fizzy fruit sweet which i imagine is what people call cherry in some circumstances. a bx to the CB would be interesting, the CB in itself is a great line with little to fault except it needs some bud density, which the heri looks to be providing.
the plastic/nail varnish/acetone is basically what heri smells like.

cool stuff

'Twas the D....didn't know you had one of the others too....

I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. I'll post more pix every now and again.

The cherryjuana cherry pheno was the candy fruity smell...the cherry is all on the tongue when you toke....

I've got a couple of weeks to decide on a pollen donor....got a few potential candidates...of which the cb is one....

I would love to try a strain that leaves a cherry or strawberry taste on the tongue and a candy fruity smell, I will find her eventually :) :tiphat::ying:

Both Cherry Dog and Cherry Bomb have developed some purple pinstriping on the stems....whether genetic, deficiency/lockout, or cold.....I don't know.

Cherry Dog on the left, Cherry Bomb on the right.

The Cherry Bomb has got too tall for a primo spot under the lamp, so she's been banished to the dark corner with the boys and malcontents. I fed her with a couple of chicken shit pellets. Too much. Little bit of claw going on now. No biggie.

Cherry Bomb.

Ho Ho Ho.....

ETA: I just noticed...double sawteeth leaves..... Woot! Didn't know it was a chem trait.....

Thanks, guys!

Couple of pics of the Cherry Dog I just snapped:

She gives me the impression of being a heavy feeder. My organic recycled soil can be a bit hot for a lot of girls, but not a word of complaint from the Cherry Dog.

cool - the double leaf serrations on the cherry dog must be a new trait from the combination of the two strains?

You've not seen it on the D? Might be a D-recessive 'ghani or kush trait that's popped up.....I imagine the cherry bomb must be pretty homozygous by now....doesn't the cheese have it? Or maybe it was the blues. I very vaguely remember the subject coming up in of those UK-clone-only threads.

In any case, she's still lagging behind the Cherry Bomb by a little way....

In other news.....pretty certain that this is the guy I'm going to hit the Cherryjuana with...he's a Sour City Diesel....

And, as it's Xmas....a quick peek inside the veg cab....

Power Black x Super Silver Haze.....no idea how this will turn out, but I'm thinking PB-leaning, if those first leaves are any indicator.

Brigitte Nielsen F1 (BJ #2 x Chunky Cheese)....super freaky.

Your cherryjuana is looking very tasty......and not yet even started thinking about eating it's fans...hmmm :chin:

yeah the chem D doesnt have double serrations but there are a few on the C4D so perhaps it's something that pops up in crosses. i wonder if its a kind of co-dominant type gene combination where both serrations of the two parents are trying to be dominant (not sure if that makes genetic sense but it's certainly what it looks like on your cherry dog

have a good one mate

I've been pondering that question for a bit.....I think it's got to be a multi-gene thing, with one or more of the genes being involved being recessive (as it's a quite rare expression)....co-dominance of a single gene would be chemdog serrations on half the plants and cherry bomb serrations on the other half....but only one copy of the two gets "used" in any given plant.....

Cherry Dog is chugging along......seems to have a looser bud structure than the CB, and looks to take a bit longer.....no sign anywhere of any "D" variegation/marbling.

She was getting a little stress from being too close to the lamp (as can be seen in the last set of pics from Xmas Eve), so she's with the CB in the dark end of the tent. Pollination has been completed (Cherryjuana x Sour City Diesel, aka "Mad Cow"), so I've got a bit more space with all the males out of the way.

Cherry Dog starting to put some meat on the bones. Not much aroma yet....vaguely lemony.
