Hey Friends, nice to be with you again. This year I've choosed to try some fast version strains from Sweet Seed hoping to finish the runs before October. Stay safe.
24 hours water soaking - 24 hours paper towel
*update: Sweet cheese seeds germinate very quickly, 3 out of 3 seeds germinated within 72 hours. This is what I mean by "serious breeder"
My little cheese is really enjoying my cares. After 3 days spend outside the weather will worse so she will be kept under led lights. No problems to report, plant is growing fast and well.
Happy Growing Folks!
Adaption week. I'm still alternating artificial and sunlight, Little Cheese & Sisters began to taste, well protected, some hours of wind and night cold, the natural conditions that they'll find along the way. For now plant is responding to these constant variations by growing fast and well without any stress. Good genetics.
10 days to transplant
Just the days I need to finish her new permanent wooden greenhouse and to mature my homemade earthworm humus.
Happy Growing Folks
Shit week 🧀 Cheesy has been a little bit stressed, due both to weather changes (now is turning hot and windy) and to a my own mistake (overwatering). Damn she's growing quite well but looks droopy anyway.
Better to tranplant her ASAP
My Cheesy suffered in her small pot, I was able to restore a balance of soil moisture but still moderate chlorosis started. Really these strains have a high metabolism.
The soil
This year I changed the composition of the soil a bit. In addition to the usual organically enriched soil, I added ProMix Soil, perlite and 6 kilos of humus made by earthworms farmed in volcanic gravel (souvenir of a trip to Vesuvius).
The garden
Last year I often had to chase the weather changes, now I will play in advance. I built a wooden greenhouse with an ultra clear PVC roof, so goodbye rain!
Setup
All plants will be grown horizontally again for 1 meter because last year's no-topping choice is back in terms of bud weight and quality. Let's see how she will reacts to brand new home.
Ten days of hot sun over the horizon.
Happy growing Folks
Perfectly adapted to soil now Cheesy not only has it recovered from previous stress but is now accelerating even though the weather is not too sunny. Horizontal LTS will starts in few days.
Happy growing Folks
All is gone fine, Cheesy is responding well, she doubled her size in two days. For now she is showing a sativa pattern. No issues, great LTS response, very good genetics.
Peace Growmies✌️
Great and super hot week.
Cheesy is growing well and fast, drinking liters and liters of spring water. No issues, great LTS response, strong heat resistance.
Strong genetics 💪💪💪
Peace and love Growmies
In the middle of the european ☀️ heat wave ☀️
Cheesy is the smallest, is paying the worse position in the garden. Is a little bit shadowed now in the morning but this lack was calculated as the top of the plant will reach the sunniest place later as the sun will change inclination. My first impressions about Sweet Seeds strains is extremely positive. Also if u consider that temperatures are above 100 °F since ten day and no one of my three strains show the minimum sign of heat stress.
Peace and love Growmies ✌️✌️
Sweet Seed is keeping its promise for now.
Hi Friends, this year's run and related diaries are poorer than last year's for the simple reason that the plants are practically growing by themselves, I just give them so much water, the sun makes the rest.
Sunlight: 14.59 hours of light
Highest temperature: 100°F
Humidity: 75%
Water volume: 2.4 galls a day
All is going fine, another super hot week with temperatures always above 100°F. Cheesy is growing well and is in pre-flowering stage (15 days before last year's run). The stretching phase is started. No need for feed, no issues.
✌️✌️✌️
Pre-flowering stage, stretching phase.
Today exactly 14.53 hours of light.
Average week's temperature 90°F
High humidity
Now Cheesy is accelerating her grow, in 2 day exceeded in height Skunky. Very stinky plant (cheese and coffee).
No issues, no pests, no need 4 feed, she is just a little thinner than her sisters.
Pre-flowering stage, stretching phase.
Today exactly 14.41 hours of light.
Average week temperatures 80 °F
High humidity, some stormy days. New heat wave is comin'
Short and bushy plant, unbelievable cheese smell, if branches are incredibly sticky now, what will happen later?
No issues, no pests, no need 4 feed.
Cheesy is growing well, but not as the sisters. This plant tends to lie on the ground. Longer internode distance than sisters according to her dominant sativa genetic. Still in stretching phase. Very high heat tolerance (here are expected more than a week with temperatures above 100°F). The cheese smell is clear and strong.
Stay safe Bros
Cheesy is still stretching a lot. Finally branches are thickening. The plant is healthy but I've noticed a unusual discolourations in the middle of the leaves of some branches. I'm watching this closely. I don't think to nutrient deficiency (mag/cal or high Ph) but instead to light burn as here are in the middle of tremendous heat wave and some branches had been a little shadowed. To stay on the safe side I added some Biobizz Grow at the half of the dose. This plant is sticky and stinky. Sativa grow pattern.
These are the last days of preflowering and she's still stretching. Branches are finally thickening but are thinner than sisters. The discolourations previously reported are stable. Another boost with veg nutes.
After 1 month this terribile heat wave has given way to the typical mild Mediterranean weather. Now cheesy is in flowering and is going to become a great and tall plant. No particular issues to report. She is enjoying the small nutes supplements.
I've learned another lesson.
Thanks to an agronomist, friend of mine, I've realised that my soil and well water are really hard and alkaline (Ph 8 - 24 F° hardness). So from this week I'm using a mix of demineralized and rain water with a Ph=6.4 and 10 F° in order to rebalance to optimal conditions and the proof is the fact that yellowing of bottom canopy has stopped, sign that now they are able to assimilate all the nutrients correctly. The incredible fact is that despite these very high soil values these three plants thrived anyway.
I don't know how many SC phenotypes exist, for sure mine is a dominant sativa. Incredibly healthy plant, she's suffering a bit the partially shaded position but in 2 weeks she will enjoy all the space and light that the sisters will give after their harvests. No issues or pests to report. Cheese smell.
At this point I can say with certainty that Cheesy, despite having grown a lot, will not be a huge yelder. Plant is perfectly healthy and shows a classical sativa's shape. But this will means that flowering time will be prolonged. Damn.
I'm in full paranoid now, smell is strong so to mask partially the smell I'm burning mosquitos repellent all day. I'm not having fun anymore, wanna finish ASAP.
The queen of the garden
All the space, all the sun, all my love are just for her. Cheesy has always been hidden in the shadow of the sisters and so I have never been able to appreciate how beautiful and healthy she is. Strangely now her smell has abandoned the cheese spectrum to turn into sweet candy and strawberries. Full of sun and wind she's ripening very quickly so I think to cut down the next Sunday, the last sunny day before the first late summer storm.
Major defoliation done. No more nutes for at least a week.
No issues, no pests, just some grasshoppers that are helping me to defoliate.
Today is the harvest day of this wonderful girl. Plucked off all the main colas, the rest will mature for another week.
She's ripened very well, totally defoliated, in a sunny and hot end September. In a better position she would have yelded at least twice as much. These branches will turn into super premium buds, rich of colours. This strain is simply amazing.
See U ASAP for a great harvest
Good luck Growmigos
No rain from April, it rains the day before the harvest........WTF
Perfectly ripened, this half of a plant will become among the prettiest buds ever grown. See U in few days for harvest.
Spoiler: great smoke!
This plant is my regret, I have always considered and cared her little, because in partial shade and hidden by exuberant sisters. But now I think she was been the best of the batch. Incredible strain.
Never an issue, never a pests, apart a giant grasshopper, friend of mine, that has
helped me to defoliate.
Absolutely no mold issues.
If yeld is poorer than expectations is only my fault, this endless summer gave me the opportunity to let her ripe incredibly well.
