This week I transplanted from the red solo cups to fabric 5 gallon smart pots. I backed off on the nutrients last week, and this week they will be receiving the full dosage.
(Sour Livers F3 x Northern Cheese Haze F3)—2 plants
Description from Mepshisto:
””Stilton grows well from the off, and develops into a stout but branchy specimine that leads to a fine yield of awesome flowers. She's not too stretchy but also is sizeable enough with good growth, to train and shape to your liking. Flowers develop pretty fast and grow to a good size, it may to advised to clear out some undergrowth and if needs be a very gentle defoliation mid-way through the grow, although leaf tucking may suffice well enough. The end product is of top shelf quality and she doesn't lack in yield either.Give your garden, nose, and body a treat and be sure to indulge in a slice of Stilton this year, You won't regret it. “”
What an amazing strain to grow, it was not as hard as I thought it was going to be! The plant started growing out really well in the first 2 weeks. I read after that I should not be transplanting autos, but I got so swamped at University and forgot. I ended up transplanting them as they were in red solo cups and I felt that they did not become stunted like so many say. The plant grew with a little training/ bending and weaving. I use 5gallon fabric ‘Smart Pots’ and the soil mix I used was 1/4 old super soil (from my super hot Carolina reaper cross) with 1/4 new super soil, and 1/2 of new coco. I added beneficial microbes in the form of Tribius, and in began using this on my peppers and tomatoes I am genetically working in school. I decided to use this on the two girls, as it is supposed to increase yield, terpenes and flavors. The two girls grew relative well with me being able to ‘train’ them. To do this I used green Velcro tape that allowed me to wrap around a plan stem and attach it to the fabric pot.
This is my first time trying these methods, and I believe I have a lot of room for improvement!
The flowers she produces are highly aromatic and glistens with trichomes. They have an intoxicating scent of pungent foot-smelling cheese followed by black coffee notes and a sweet blueberry note on the finish. The terpenes are potent, and there is a lot of resin on her fans leaves and stems making them sparkle like Christmas lights. The flowers are very compact and dense, and coated in trichomes! My friend just bought a trim bin for himself, and he let me borrow it for this harvest. I was super amazed with the amount of kief/ trichomes that were collected at the end of trimming the 2 plants. 10 grams of 150 micron sifted hash. Super amazing strain with a very unique taste. flavour and aroma, will need to find more of these limited edition beans before they are gone forever!
Growing experience:
I felt like this was an easy strain to grow, but as I am a newbie, I do not have much experience in this area like others. I am unsure but to me, the girl seemed to be pretty easy growing, with some slight nutrient/ deficiency issues at week 8/9. I think I’m not the best in following the nutrient schedules I had planned, and I think if I was more consistent I could have reached 400 g instead of the 314g for both 2 Stilton Special plants. These were grown under 9x Cree CXB 3590. 3@ 3000k and 6@ 3500k. The maximum power is 450w with potentiometer on (dimmer) and 500w with it removed. These plants were grown under 450w until mid-week 9 of flower when I received a new 200w light. The last few days were spent under 700w.
Overall these two plants really impressed me, and I felt like they were really forgiving for a newbie like me! Was not expecting this much dry weight! Thank you all for reading! Any comments, tips, tricks, and recommendations for helping me become a better grower is appreciated! I just want to learn more! Stay lifted!🙏0000
