Project role

Not the endpoint

Cherry-terp auto building block

Cherry Cookie Smash was a breeding tool built to carry the Cherry Bang Bang #2 terp direction toward Cherry Bangarang.

The seeds were half photoperiod and half autoflowering. I used them to hunt a cherry-terp auto, and that direction was not hard to find.

The work took three grow cycles—more than a year—not counting the earlier Red Pop hunts that led to Cherry Bang Bang #2.

Project history

How it was built

Grow one was the Cherry Bang Bang hunt that found the #2 selection.

On grow two, I ran the Cherry Bang Bang #2 clone again and pollinated it with Checkered Cookies.

On grow three, I hunted those “Cherry Cookie” seeds for a cherry female and pollinated it with a super-gassy Candy Smash to add more gas and more autoflower traits. Those seeds became Cherry Cookie Smash.

I hunted Cherry Cookie Smash and crossed the chosen auto to Purple Spright. That work became Cherry Bangarang F1.
