Hello GD community!
It's CHEESE TIME.
Second year as grower and first time with this strain.
🙋♀️ For those that don't know me, I like growing cannabis in the same way I grow tomatoes or zucchini, so outdoor, in the soil and only supplying water, checking for bugs sometimes, no specific nutrients or stuff.
🤙 This time I added an handful of generic fertilizer I found in the garage just because it was there 🤣
💡 My PLAN is let her grow in the pot for 2/3 weeks and then move her in the garden soil for a looooooong vegetation phase till the end of the summer, taking advantage of the "Fast Flowering" peculiarity of this strain.
💡 The INTENTION is to apply MANIFOLDING technique for my first time, so topping multiple times to obtain 8 or 16 colas, idk. This should ALSO help keeping the plant short, since RQS website says that this strain could also reach 2m height outside and I would like to not to go to jail 😅⛓️
I will update the diary once a week and in particular the first day of each week.
"Day 0" will be assigned when the first leaves will come out from the soil.

13/06/2021 - Day 7 - First day of the 2nd week.
First week has gone and she is doing good 😍
Maybe it's a bit too early but I'm feeding her with "Easy Grow Booster Tablets" by RQS, since I'm already using it for another plant and it's too much for just one.
Small stones are for keeping the stem straight.
This week a lot of sun but also a lot of storms. I managed to move her in a shelter every time for keeping her safe.
That's all.
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny hot days 🤞☀️

20/06/2021 - Day 14 - First day of the 3rd week.
Second week has gone. Time to move her in her new and final pot and so I'll do in the next days, and then I'll start topping for the first time
Stopped few days ago feeding her with "Easy Grow Booster Tablets" by RQS, since some leaves were turning yellow and now won't give her any more since it is finished xD
Small stones are for keeping the stem straight.
This week a lot of sun and 0 rain.
That's all.

👉 Transplanted in 15L "RQS Geotextile Fabric Pot" and prepared the soil with 50g of "Easy Boost Organic Nutrition" by RQS

22/06/2021 - Day 16
👉 Seemed like transplant didn't cause visibile stress, so I proceeded with first topping. Never topped a plant, hope she won't die 😅😂

30/06/2021 - Day 24 - 4th day of the 4th week.
Sorry for late update but I'm busy with university exams :/
Anyway: I love her! 😍 She reacted greatly both to transplant and to the topping.
Some branches started growing also in the bottom part but removed since it's not what I want for her.
Now the plan is wait for some stretch, bend the two branches horizontal and then top again.
Windy days, hot and sunny, I'm confident.
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny hot days 🤞☀️

👉 Second round of topping. Double this time. Let's see how she reacts 🤞
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
04/07/2021 - Day 28 - First day of the 5th week.
She reacted greatly also to the second round of topping.
Now the plan is wait for some stretch before the last topping round, since I want to give space between the various branches.
Probably she will receive a lot of rain in the next days.
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny hot days 🤞☀️

👉 ☠️⚠️ Trying to bend the branches to encourage spacing, the lowest "Y split" opened partially 😥
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
12/07/2021 - Day 36 - 2nd day of the 6th week.
⚠️ As updated in the last week post, I made a mess 😥 I was trying to do some LST fro bending the 4 main branches and encourage spacing, but the lowest "Y split" has broken/opened 😥
💊Used some rope and insulating tape to bring the flaps closer and encourage healing 😥🤞
BUT despite this, seems like she didn't notice the problem 😍 Can you see how much she is growing? And how many new leaves? 😍
She's a rock!!!💪
About weather, there were 2/3 night of violent storms but I managed to keep her in a safe place just in time.
The plan now is for sure wait for a complete healing and try to give space between the 4 branches, and after this I'll proceed with another round of topping ✂️
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny hot days 🤞☀️

As updated in the 6th week, I proceeded with the last round of topping.
Removed the sprouts in the lower parts to encourage the focus on the main branches.
She's my pride.
Started today another feeding round with RQS "Easy Grow Booster Tablet".
About weather, few storms during the week but I managed to keep her in a safe place just in time.

27/07/2021 - Day 51 - Third day of the 8th week.
Back from 5 days of holidays.
Defoliated the lower part and applied this weird LST.
I have to give them space but pulling the branches in the usual way results in "Y splits" breaking and opening, so I'm trying this weird method with wood and ropes.
Pics are from the garage since there's a storm in coming right now 😅

Third round of topping.
Trying to bend the branches in the usual way so "pulling down", the "Y split" in the topping sites always break/open.
So I'm trying this way with ropes and engraved sticks to PUSH the branches away from the inside.
What do you think? Alternatives?
-DD
What your doing us perfectly fine. I see people do this all the time especially with big buds that need space. Keep doing your thing man! Its looking good!
01/08/2021 - Day 56 - First day of the 9th week.
I know I updated the diary just few days ago but I need to retake the routine of posting in the first day of the week.
She's fine.
I'm out of RQS Easy Grow Tablets, so started feeding with a generic liquid fertilizer I for green plants that my dad uses for the garden, NPK 8-5-5, hope it will be fine.
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny mild days 🤞☀️

She's fine.
The liquid fertilizer seems helpful.
Improved the LST again with some more ropes 😂 I think she will have 3 more weeks of veg before naturally switching to flower, so giving her space is crucial.
Also the selection for lollipopping is crucial.
Decided to purchase a small greenhouse to help in the flower stage against the weather in september/october.
This will also probably lead to an experimental greenhouse autumn grow 👀 Stay tuned.
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny mild days 🤞☀️

She is filling all the inner space I gave her 👀
Time to take some ropes and improve again the shape of this beauty.
I think I've spotted the first signs of preflower. Time has come? 👀
Let's gooooooo !

Not much to update.
She looks "sad" in the pics because she was thirsty 24h after last watering.
She keeps growing. She doesn't seem interested in flowering 😂

Those preflower white things are more now, but new leaves keeps popping so I think this is still veg phase.
Temperatures started dropping autumn is coming!
Pushed all the pegs deeper in the soil always for spacing, there are some side branches that are looking for their place at higher floors 😂
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny mild days 🤞☀️

Hell yes, we are flowering!!! 🌼🌼🌼
Summer came back with her 30°C, kinda crazy weather.
The plan is to give her only tap water and then starting feeding with RQS Easy Bloom the week after.
Maybe I'll remove some more leaves, thinking about it.

Very cold, winter is coming
Starting today feeding with RQS Easy Bloom.

Here we are, in her house for the autumn.
Weather very unstable sun, rain, cold nights, I decided to let her stay in there and stop.
Started today feeding with RQS Easy Bloom.
I haven't removed the leaves as I said because I'm very busy, so I still have to do it.
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny mild days 🤞☀️

All good here.
Ended first session of feeding (first tablet) with RQS Easy Bloom.
Also finally had time for the last big haircut! Now there's much more space for ventilation and a better illumination.
Also changes to DEMETRA.
Yes, this is how I decided to call my sweet and tiny greenhouse. [Olympian goddess of the harvest and agriculture --> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demeter ]
I have acquired an engine oil barrel (102 liters) cleaned it a little and filled it with water. => THERMAL MASS!
Also used a paper box + paper packaging to insulate a little from the ground, let's see if these changes will bring the improvements I hope to the weather in the greenhouse. 🤞
Comments? Please let me know your thoughts.
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny mild days 🤞☀️

Rainy and cold week.
But she's vibing in her house.
DEMETRA seems doing her job.
We only have to wait ✌️

24/10/2021 - Day 140 - First day of the 21th week.
Bad news.
As expected the very high %RH in the greenhouse brought to MOLD 😣
( as @NobodysBuds prophesied 🙄 )
Had to remove all the parts where I've been able to see it.
I'm now paying more attention to air circulation during the day and also watering less when I can.
Also spent some time fixing the LST gear, since some ropes were broken and the plant was bended more on one side. So an optimal spacing and balance has been recovered.
I keep waiting and I'll also keep checking daily if there's some more mold that has to be removed.
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny mild days 🤞☀️

Last update.
I think she could grow a little more but the weather conditions are against us.
New mold spots keep appearing so I decided to end the journey here.
Wish me good luck and let's hope in sunny mild days 🤞☀️

Here comes the end of this journey.
I'm at the end of the first week of curing but I've already tried the fruits.
In the end we got almost 80 grams.
Sad if I think that without the mold problems these could be more than 100 😥 but still satisfied.
Buds are airy, full of leaves but decent smell and taste (not cheese)
Growing these way with multiple toping was fun and also gave its fruits. I need to improve in spacing branches and encourage even more horizontal growth.
Thanks to you all of the GrowDiaries family for following , hope my experience will be useful for some of you ✌️
Peace.
