First Grow Forum: Cherry OG

Hello Everybody! My name here is Wattze, and I've been growing for about a year and a half now, however I've only been through one harvest, and had to find new homes for my last grow. ): (Just as i was flipping them to flower) However I'm now in the great state of Colorado, looking to further my career in this wonderful line of business! Before I ever started my first grow, I had been following GWE for FOREVER trying to gain the confidence of growing stealthy, and I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I was gaining the knowledge needed to hopefully get through a successful grow! Growing Cannabis at first was very intimidating to me! Nebula and Sirius with GWE simplified the entire process and made me incredibly excited to get started!
Anyways, enough about me, lets get to the real treasure, this Cherry OG! ;)

I could sit here and type out everything about this strain, or I could attach this link and have Emerald Triangle Seeds do the explaining for me. :)
http://emeraldtriangleseeds.co.uk/product/cherry-og/
Basically It's a 50/50 sativa/indica hybrid that has been carefully bred for it's distinct effects. It supposedly is a tall strain so I'm pretty excited for the topping and LST! I'm also looking at these Amnesia Auto and Northern Light X Lavender-Feminized seeds from Speed Seeds, But that's a bridge I'll cross when I get there. I'm growing these girls in soil (as you can see from the pictures) and as you can also see, I'm looking to do some training! Through my whole first grow, I was so afraid to even bend my plant, but I had to so i could keep them in my closet! But on my very last grow, I took the step and Topped em, and they blew up! So I'll definitely be trying that again with these and hopefully they do the same!

I currently only have 2 seeds of the Cherry OG Germinating, and looking to hopefully get the root out and planted within the next couple of days here! But if they're a little slow, that's okay too! I have nothing but time. :) Looking for any advice, or if you just want to sit in and watch em grow, I'll get as detailed as possible for you guys. :)

Hey , what's up , I'll be here watching for u to talk about ur grow , can't wait to see them babies grow
 
Sweet setup Wattze!

I see you have kitties running around. Hopefully they don't like the smell of cannabis. I have 3 and my youngest is obsessed with my plants! She doesn't like them as much since they started flowering and getting stinky but she still cries until I pluck a leaf for her to chew on... she won't leave me alone until I do. Thankfully she's understanding when they're little and I can't afford to pluck, but when they get big enough she knows and will literally crawl up my back to get to them.

She's annoying and gets her hair everywhere but I wouldn't change a thing. She's my grow buddy.
 
HEy thank you for joining! I'll keep you as updated as possible, just gotta get these girls popped and in the soil!
 
Thank you, Royal! Love what you post btw, your knowledge is excellent and I look forward to your advice!

And yes, I do have some kitties! 2 to be exact (: my oldest doesn't really want much to do with them.. yet.. but my youngest.. oh man.. she wants on top of my tent, in my soil, in and out my vents lol she's crazy, but I love her, she's just curious, I'm sure now that they're older, they can handle the situation a little better lol but that's so awesome, I read that to my fiancé and she loves your kitties now too lol they're awesome!

Anyways, thanks for joining in, and again, looking forward to your input!
 
Quick little update here, still no sign of life yet from these little ones, but my germination process could be much much better.. anyways, still checking them every few hours to make sure the paper towel is moist, hoping to get some life in the next day or two!
Thank you to those who are here already, and hello to any new-comers! :) don't be afraid to give advice, or to just let me know you're here! :)
 
Day 2 of germination

checked the two little ones about 15 minutes ago, MST, and there was definitely life from one! 😍 I'm going to keep them in the germination process until #2 pops, and until I can get that tap root out just a liiitle bit farther. All in all, extremely happy! Considering I thought I messed up and ruined em 😞 I checked em yesterday morning and the paper towel was dry!! Needless to say I was very upset.. i didn't think it had been dry for to long though, so I kept em going.. and glad I did! i just had to adjust my heating pad and the plates and now I think I found my sweet spot!

So im very happy that his Forum can come to life now, and if the germination process continues to go smoothly, they'll be in dirt and in the tent within the next week here!
 
Congrats! I was born in CO btw. Grew up near Colorado Springs. Moved up to Boulder area for a few years. Been in MI since 2000. I miss CO so much... figures... I leave the state and they legalize recreational use... wtf
 
Royal that sounds about right lol I was born in NV but grew up in Iowa. However I wanted to be able to do what I loved, without having to worry about someone busting in my door (cop or otherwise) lol but now I'm actually in The Springs! I'd like to say I miss Iowa, and I do on a family aspect, but I'm in love with Colorado.. it's absolutely beautiful here!.. I get to grow, take in this scenery, and smoke in peace lol it's a great place to live man..
 
Day 3 germination

checked em at about 5:30 MST, and they're both alive and well! I'm giving them about 12-24 more hours to germinate, then it's into the soil and on with the lights! Loving the progression!

Sorry theres no pictures yet, I'm not trying to stress them out to much, my germination set up is already crappy as is lol
thanks for hanging in there!
 
No Title

So I was waiting just a couple days, so I could know for sure what I was working with here before going and getting all excited. After my germination and getting them in the soil, only the one was able to make it.. 😭 But I ordered more through Nirvana, so those should be her within 2 weeks! I'm going to continue with this Cherry OG seed and hope for the best here..

so this is about 2 days outside of the soil, is say it's entering its little seedling stage, and I'm spraying her with PH'd water after the lights shut off.. so my question is, when should I start mixing some nutes in there?

My lighting situation currently is a 400W MH bulb, but I have my ballast turned down to 250W. Once it gets into veg, then I'll probably turn it back up to the full 400W. Right now, it's about 2 1/2 to 3 feet above my plant, I'm just really hoping she takes well to the light!.. I also have my exhaust fan running and a small circular fan running to help keep the bulb cool. I'm looking to head to my grow warehouse store tomorrow and look at more soil, pots, fans, etc.. basically everything else to help me start this grow and my next one!

all in all, I feel it's moving a little slow, but in not sure if it's from my germination methods, or if it's just me being inpatient lol either way, I'm just going to nurture this little one until she's old enough to handle the lights and some nutrients, then it'll be time to start some training!

I think you could even take off the little humidity dome as long as you don't have a fan blowing directly on the little seedling drying it out. If it reacts well to that you could bring the 250W lower. I keep mine 2 feet away to start, then move it down to maybe a foot and a half if the seedling looks happy after a few days. Then I just let the seedling grow up to the light and keep it about a foot away as long as the heat's under control and the plant looks happy :)

However, I just noticed that it's 93°F in there and only 23% humidity where the seedling is, which is going to cause your seedling to grow slower. You really want to keep the heat under 85°F in there if possible, and under 80°F is even better. Do you have an exhaust fan venting out heat? Also, 23% humidity is pretty brutal (you want closer to 50%), is it really dry where you live or just in the tent? If you get a swamp cooler (also known as an evaporative cooler) it will bring down the temperature and raise the humidity at the same time, might be something to consider :) Evaporative coolers only work if your humidity is under 35%, but they're really effective at cooling when it's dry!
 
See that's where I was at, I'm wondering if I leave my tent open more, if that might bring down my temp a little bit as well.. but I do have an exhaust fan, I don't think it's as strong as I would like, but it bows my tent a little bit when it's closed.. but I'm here in the springs in Colorado, so it's a pretty dry time for us here.. I'm definitely going to be looking into that evaporate cooler, and hope that brings my humidity up! I want to take that dome off, I'm just so afraid that it's way to dry for the little one.. all I can do is try the cooler, and see if that does enough for me! It'll also help once I get my air cooled hood instead of this dang reflector.. it's all working out okay, just trying to bring down heat and raise humidity! We also are looking into getting a humidifier, my fiancé said her nose has been bother her other wise lol
 
I am growing a Cherry OG from Emerald under a T5 - and currently just started Week 4 veg. Used Nebula's manifolding on her and gosh did she take off, especially Weeks 3-4. Next week, she goes under the LED. Highly recommended.
 
Aren't they absolutely beautiful when they first pop up! So easy to be impatient when they are germinating...I go through that every time myself! Hoping you get a great grow with this sweet baby! 🌞
