Really excited to start this grow using ILGM Cherry Pie. ILGM came highly recommended from KaliGrownBudz and I can’t wait to see the results.
I will be trying to document this grow as thoroughly as I possible can, everything from weeks,types of LST, nutrients, lighting, dosage levels, and techniques used. I will keep some secrets to myself, however I do believe knowledge is key and this giving tree will never be repressed by prohibition again!
In this grow I will be doing a lot of LST and early, I will be pushing her pretty hard because I do believe this tree loves to be trained and if she responds well to the LST then that means she can take more.
So thank you for stopping by and looking, please feel free to share your thoughts and comments. Happy grows growmies!

Grow notes for the week -
Week four (actually week two of veg) I saw some pretty impressive growth from her. This week she was topped, shaved, and tied down and she loved every bit of it. I started to also notice that she is putting out a skunky smell, much different then the Gorilla Glues I grew earlier this year. This smell I can only imagine will intensify as she gets more mature. I’ve tried pretty hard to keep my vpd in the range of 1.2 for veg, I do however have my doubts with the exhale bag. This time around I went with another bag but it was a 365 bag and this one you have to start the growth yourself and it takes about four weeks to light off. It has started to light off and I hope it increases the CO2 level a lot, I would like to see it on the range of 1100 to 1700 ppm’s but as I mentioned I have my doubts with just one bag. Fertigation has increased to half a gallon every other day, week five I will do a flush to remove any potential salt build up. Thanks for stopping by, I know veg isn’t as impressive as flower but it is still fun to watch them grow. Happy growing growmies!
Topped
Always leave a sufficient amount of stalk above the node to help support the kolas, otherwise she may split if not supported
Used a wire hanger cut into four lengths to help hold her down, didn’t work well for me
Instead of the wire I grabbed some clips and twist ties, much better at anchoring
