I'll be popping some Mr.G CB by January....
Usually I punish new strains by putting them through a "stress test" and seeing how well they do,but for some reason I want to treat these right and get some nice pix for folks to see as well as get some good results shown for Mr. G who has been so generous to the community.

I remember this too. Mr. Greengenes had it and did some tests and said he never seen any hermi tendencies. Then when Referman got it he said it was very hermi prone and needed to be corrected. Hense the name Cherrybomb 2. This was back in the OG days. I wish I remember more.

You remember correctly. Reef claimed it was hermie prone and bred it with his Cherry Indica. He's fulla shit.

I got my hands on Mr. G's beans from Marco at Treating Yourself. I never saw a single nanner in the original, or crosses I made. I ran it in dirt, in GH 3 part Hydro, and in PBP, and I'm lazy and had a known light leak. Still no nanners.

Someone on OG (I forget who) tried running it 12/12 from seed and said they had some nanners. I vegged 24/0 under flouros until the nodes began to alternate (about 18 inches), then put 'em under a 1000 watt HPS for 12/12. Never had any hermie issues. Like I said up thread, it's a pretty well behaved sativa dominant plant.

GreenGenes is a cool dude, just shoot him a PM, he will tell you whats up.....He listed some on Seedbay a couple months back......and Im not sure, I could be wrong, but I believe, Reeferman got his Cherry Bomb genetics from Mr. Greengenes, directly or indirectly.....I think I remember Greengenes telling me this.....like I said, I could be mistaken, this conversation took place about a year ago.....

Just look him up on here, ICmag, and ask him whats up....Shit does look dank....

[Mr. Greengenes]

Very cool to see so much interest in CB. It's a real relief to know that the genes are spread far and wide now and aren't in danger like when I was saving it alone. Breeders will be able to make great use of CB males in crosses, since there's no need to progeny test (them), and CB traits will be easy to identify and sort in future generations.

On a seperate note, I wonder why I never got a 'donor' tag under my nick? You'd think ICMAG made enough from my donation that they'd remember that.

We know what's kill Mr. G........ And we know the REAL story!

[VerdantGreen]

well, i put half a dozen CB seeds in soil today. been looking forward to growing this one out for ages!

Mr G i hope someone remembers to give you your 'donor' tag soon!

[Sleepy]

glad to see your new badge, mr. green...

congratulations.

[VerdantGreen]

got a couple of CB girls about 3 weeks in, usual story, foot square screens each taking up a quarter of my 250 hps cab. organic soil
one of them has lovely burgundy pistils

here's the whole plant - very jagged leaves


and the other one


as always with seed plants, especially sativas, it's tough to break the apical dominance through training, but the screes are full and i am happy and lucky to be running these genetics. big shout out to Mr.G who hasnt been around in a while, hope all's good with you.

Cool VG,looks great. Got my baby CB's up....I'm noticing that heavy serrated leaf pattern already. I'll get some pix up soon as they get into flower..could be a while.
