That is great news Coughie and Dawn Patrol , looking forward to hearing more about this strain, what happened to the pictures in this thread?
Sounds like they looked nice.
OP got spooked and deleted his pics and account.
Don't let that discourage you from trying this strain, I think he did an awesome job with this one and unless you're growing in a seriously height constrained location, you should get a decent result.
Whoo, I guess I'm the latest stoner in the crew around here! That was a really fun and amazingly encouraging thread to read, thank you all for your contributions! I wish I could have seen OP's pics before they took 'em. I ran CB outdoors here in SoCal in '99, so I knew it would work at this latitude, but I've always been curious to see it grown farther south.
Here's a pic of a CB plant I grew from seeds I got from Swami. I didn't have a pure CB plant in my garden for years, I was really happy with the work GAS did on the strain! Check out those red pistils.
Here's a pic of me and some CB in a friends yard this year.

The cherry bomb is a great line and I have found that the pink pistil trait breeds true and can be found easily in the hybrid offspring.
I wish you could have seen the pics the OP put up. He did an amazing job with the cherry bomb and the plants were huge!
Anyway, thank you Mr Greengenes for working the Cherry Bomb and putting it out there for all of us to enjoy. I have spread this line far and wide. It now lives on every major continent. So there's little chance of it dying.
Peace

That is just some of the best news I've heard in a looooooooong time Mystic Funk, I'll be flying high for weeks on your words!
Very cool troutman, I hope you enjoy!
Verdant is dropping some Digiberry F2s at Real Gorilla Seeds very soon, and I was perusing his offerings when the Abusive OG x CB caught my eye.
So I added a couple packs to my cart while I hammer F5 waiting for the Digiberry to get listed.
I'm hoping to find a really good tasting and potent cherry plant.

I haven't worked with the Abusive, but I've heard from other breeders that using a male CB to go into another strain works well, so this should be a great cross. I'm assuming VG uses the same naming scheme I do and puts the lady first, male second.
Some CB's in a friends backyard somewhere in Los Angeles. They're swiftly running out of space! I've been applying PJJ (plant Jiu Jitsu) like crazy so they're nice and low, but they seem to double in size each week so we're clearly in trouble.
I'm not doing an obscure Chinese 'internal' martial art in this picture, just applying a bit of PJJ! Oh yeah, and hi to all my 'Masshole' friends, represent.
haha, I'm guessing you're over the pond? When I lived in NYC they said, "please stand clear of the closing door!"
Thanks for your kind words dugzy!
Ya know, the first time I ran CB, I got 9 females and a dud, so I ended up grossing it to a C99 male. The results were a mostly CB plant with a bit better trichome coverage and a slightly shorter flower time. Traits tended to be more CB leaning with a a nice Cherry flavor that eventually cured to a more pineapple flavor. I've only ever had one male, and he was crossed into a Kali mist x CB/Burmese plant. I wanted to work toward a mostly CB plant with a bit more kick. I did cross the kali x cb/burmese to a CB male, and still have both (Kali x cb/burmese) x CB seeds and CB seeds. I'm trying to squeeze in that project, but I've got so much other stuff going on. Eventually, I'll pick that back up. I've been playing with CB since the Overgrow days when I first discovered CB. Still one of my faves.
Hi WelderDan! Thanks so much for dropping in. I'm sure that CB x C99 is amazing, I hope I get to try it someday. I can't express the feelings I get knowing that CB is in the hands of capable people like yourself. It's an odd mixture of pride and extreme gratitude. BTW, you really know you've arrived as a breeder when you start saying stuff like, "I'm trying to squeeze that project in, but I've got so much other stuff going on". I hear you on that brother!
It's too bad the OP got spooked and deleted all his pics. You would have been impressed by the monster plant he produced. He did a lot of LST during veg and when it stretched during flower he had multiple 12+ foot colas. Hell, I got 8 oz off one indoor plant. I suspect he got 5+ lbs off that one plant, likely more like 8-10. It was a beast.
I know OP, I'll see if he still has those pics and wants to throw them up again.
