Week 3: fed 2x
Gear: added a Vornado Flipi V oscillating fan for air circulation
Starting to pre-flower
At 5 inches tall, shes SHORT, THICK and THIRSTY with little to no run off each watering.
Gave her a trim, took off a few fan leaves to expose bud sites.
Week 4: fed 2x, flush 1x
-Starting to flower
-Trimmed a bit
-no change to environment.
-Trunk and stems are getting thicker and staying in place
-removed all but 4 staples.
Week 5: fed 2x
Gear:
- added box for fan to sit on
- lower light from 38" to 24"
- trichomes starting to form
- grew 4" this week
- has a slight Pepper Jack cheese smell
- phosphorus deficiency, forgot to use foxfarm flower kiss spray on.
- starting to show cal/mag deficiency
Notes:
- should've spaced the stems better
- deficiency began to show after the light was
lowered to 24" by mistake
- Not sure if the light is causing cal/mag/phosphorus
deficiency due it being too close at 24" or due to flowering.
Week 5: fed 2x
Gear:
- no change to enviroment
- light at 24"
- grew 0.5" this week
- cal/ mag/ phos deficiency spreading
- buds are starting to fatten up
- pepper jack cheese smell getting stronger but still unnoticeable outside of tent
Notes:
- trimmed a bit for better light penetration
- added AN cal/ mag supplement + FoxFarm Flower Kiss foliage spray.
hopefully this solves the deficiency issue
Week 7: fed 2x flush 1x
Gear
- light 30"
- added Vornado cool mist humidifer
- grew 0.5" this week
- cal/ mag/ phos deficiencies seem to to have stopped spreading
- buds are get fat and feel solid to touch
- has less pepper smell, more cheese but still not very strong.
- trimmed off damaged leaves
Notes:
- Hairs are turning orange and starting to curl earlier than expected.
- should've added a humidifier from the start.
- evaportive humidifier would be a better option, would be able to hang the light lower vs cool mist having to worry about the light getting wet
- definitely see a positive difference in trichome production with the added humidity.
- the dry air and low hanging light might have contributed to deficiencies.
Week 8: fed 1x
Gear
- light 30"
- REMOVED!!! Vornado cool mist humidifer
the white dust was clogging my carbon filter and stopping air moving in tent, raising my temperatures.
- no change in growth this week
- deficiencies seem to to have stopped
- buds are fat and solid to touch
- no more pepper spicy smell, more sweet cheese
- trimmed off damaged leaves
Notes:
- tent temp was unusually warm due to filter being clogged but the humidifier putting out white dust, which in turn caused plant to mature quicker than normal.
-Hairs are turning orange and starting to curl earlier than expected.
- evaportive humidifier would be a better option, no white dust.
-would be able to hang the light lower vs cool mist having to worry about the light getting wet
*Due to the temp issue in tent, I spent the weekend cleaning my set up, vacuuming out the white dust from my filter, fans and walls.
* had to harvest early 😑
Decent harvest due to heat issue. Don't use tap water with a ultra Sonic humidifer... The white dust will clog your filter.
Over all, Swiss cheese was a breeze to grow. It's my first attempt at LST, wasn't sure what to expect. Strain is very forgiving, I messed up a few times with over watering and then there was the heat issue (filter clogged, no air movement) inside tent. None the less the plant is very Hardy. A def must try.
Sooo first impression of The Cheese aka queso fresco.
Initial inhale was smooth, tasteless at first but It does burn well forming a great cloud.
On exhale is where the cheeses part comes, that is also smooth but somewhat sour cheesey. Then is when it actually hits you, you feel the burn lol curing should fix that.
Overall high - loveeee it! With cheese I definitely felt the body over the head high, which I actually like a lot.. I felt coherent and functional and body loose which I like rather then stuck like a rock. 🤔🤔 Will update in a week see if there’s a difference once cured.
