Cherryjuana (VerdantGreen)

[joe guy]

Edit that last post the pie keeps the super orange pistals so it is possible i assume it could keep atleast a redish hue but stAy tuned unless vg has posted cured flowers of this bueatiful strain...

 

[Omnipotence]

Very nice VG.

 

[komodod]

beautiful plants. very nice crooss you have there

 

[VerdantGreen]

thanks for the responses and kind words...

the pink and purple pistils are fairly common in the cross, probably 30-50% of the plants will have the trait, some darker than others.
the pistils that are still pink (not browned) at harvest will retain a red hue after drying, but really that trait is a gift for the grower - its just very nice to see that amongst your plants, and i'm pretty confident the trait will stay in the line as it's inbred.

i'm hoping to have enough f2s to do a small release on seedbay if the testers look the part.

These plants are sick mate well done

 

[VerdantGreen]

thanks w89, ive been enjoying those buds, alongside the sharp fruity 'cherry' tones are strong hints of citrus, mainly lime, and tropical fruit - one pheno smelt like passionfruit!
also that plastacine/acetone heri smell is in evidence.

there are a few test grows of the Cherryjuana F2s going on down in my forum in the seedbay private breeders section.

Do you make your own colloidal silver or buy it? Would be fun to try something like this one day

 

[VerdantGreen]

the Cherryjuana is a regular m/f seedline so there was no reversing or CS used....

but for others such as the Bubba S1s i started using my own CS but it didnt seem strong enough and ended up buying some 30 PPM CS online which did the trick.

cherijuana dry

minor problems with ants and scals but came out to some very dense flowers with a kick

 

[VerdantGreen]

looks good DARC! glad to hear it did well in the great cali outdoors. (you had F1s)

ive just sent a small batch of the Cherryjuana F2s into the bay, they are the only F2s i have atm although i hope to make another batch later this year if all goes well.

anyone who is interested should keep an eye on the relevant threads for an announcement of when they will drop...

[VerdantGreen]

according to Clarence the Cherryjuana seeds will go live on the bay tomorrow (friday) at 1.30 PM UK time.

cheers

Looks stellar VG!

Been saving up cherry genes for a future hunt myself. Love the red fruits!

Wowwsers VG, I wasn't aware of this thread/creation. Great looking stuff! Nice shots as well DM.

Got a pack this morning, thanks VG

 

[VerdantGreen]

thanks guys, im looking forward to seeing how the F2s come out and howe much variation there is in them

i wanted to post this here before i lose it again... it refers to Mr.Greengenes' Cherry Bomb, which was one half of the cross, and it pretty much proves that the CB is a genuine Maui Wowie. this was posted here nearly 10 years ago

To all,
just had a nice response, then tried to send and deleted it...
long story short...
as part of a "Fun Project" after grad school, I and some friends ran 55 samples from the Pan Pacific Area...
this was able to be done as the samples were collected via old classmates in post-doc programs at UH, USC and UC...
we produced tissue cultures, used commercial kits to extract DNA... extracted both Nuclear and mitachondrial DNA...project languished a bit in the lab...finally developed primers to target specific stranded DNA to be sequenced ..."primed" for replication with a short complementary strand at one end. This preparation was divided into four batches, and each treated with a different replication-halting nucleotide, together with the four "usual" nucleotides. Each replication reaction then proceeds until a reaction-terminating nucleotide is incorporated into the growing strand, whereupon replication stops. Thus, reaction produces new strands that terminate at positions corresponding to the G's in the strand being sequenced. (Note that when long strands are being sequenced the concentration of the reaction-terminating nucleotide must be carefully chosen, so that a "normal" C is usually paired with a G; otherwise, replication would typically stop with the first or second G.) We then used Gel electrophoresis -- one lane per reaction mixture and then separated the replication products, from which the sequence of the original single strand can be inferred.
Results:
of the 55 samples 23 were sucessfull...from the chromatagraphs
the following inferences were made:
2 samples from the Hawaiian sampling were mitachondrial duplicates... the 100% sativa from the island of Molokai called The Blood, and one of the 6 samples called Maui Wowie from the Island of Maui...what was interesting is that 2 samples from california... 1 called "maui wowie" from a source in Ontario and a second from Santa Cruz were also sisters and all related to a mother common as our two Hawaiian samples. The Santa Cruz sample was called "Cherry Bomb".
At some point in a review of the data by the co contributors...some two years after the original culturing took place the name "Mr.Greengenes" came up as the source of the Santa Cruz sample.
Keep in mind that certain chain of custody issues as well as timing and the very " jovial' nature of the sampling would render it useless by peer review, none the less... I guess I stand by the work...
Why not contact RMBC and pose the question to them... I myself have aquired CB2, and if I have time and inclination( and quiet days with the Lycor) I may try the samples again...the primers are a real pain to develop however...
but I will keep my eyes open for that Sativa pheno...@ $35.00 US for 12 seed how can you go wron.

I was gifted some Cherryjuana gear a few months back, and Verdant killed it., did a great job. I love proper cherry influenced smoke, Cherryjuana is right up there with some cherry gear Ive had from Greengenes work, which says alot.

Nice Job Verdant. Its a winner man.

 

[VerdantGreen]

thats lovely to hear CV! glad you enjoyed it. thanks for posting.
