Plant was very resilient to heat, humidity and changes in nutrients and pH levels. I didn't have the most stable system, started out with 2 plants and had light leak into my tank effect the roots of 1 plant. By the time I had resolved the problem the plant had to be snipped- unfortunate but I got 63 grams off of plant 1. Plant 2 was more successful and was able to harvest at week 12- it gave me a total of 188 grams! Off of 1 bloody plant in hydro, definitely my best result to date. The smoke has some smooth flavour profiles, with a good body and head mix. Super happy with the plant and it's genes.

I used a local equivalent called Nutriplex, worked great.
Extremely helpful in fighting off pests and building thick stems in early vegetation period.
First time using it, helped battle nutrient fluctuations.

Strain was a lot of fun to grow. I found it very hardy which helped a lot through my grow- It is the middle of summer where I am and daily temps are 35C with evening temps at 25C. Root damage near the end of flower due to heat and light didn't help one bit! However, I would definitely recommend this strain to any grower who is looking to maximise their yield in a small space, if everything had gone according to plan I would have yielded over 350grams from a 400W MH/HPS combo. Keep your light close to the plant with direct airflow and this strain is happy to push fat colas.

Grow Questions

ThatZimbostarted grow question 6 years ago
I am running a 65 litre buppleponic & dwc system with flora series nutrients. My question is, at what stage should I consider flushing the plant to reduce nutrient uptake before harvest? I have read anything from 1 week to 3 days. Thanks in advance.

one of the good things about hydro is you can flush for less time so you can be more precise right ? Even just one day is enough, really, one day to three days works... i'm following someone on here flushing a hydro grow for three weeks... but yeah one day to three days... you can tell when you're ready when the plant kinda gets forced in senescence you'll know you're ready. hope this helps ! πŸš€

Thanks, @@Spaceman. Lots of learning with the Blue Cheese strain, my first time growing it and I was impressed with its resilience. Hammer the nutrients and blast with light 😁

calcium deficiency bro, try to spray on cal mag without hitting the flowers , should stop spreading pretty quick
ThatZimbo
ThatZimbo
Really think it's calcium? I've been using calmag throughout the grow to try and regulate it. will give it a bump in the next top up and see if that helps. I have another concern with the bottom leaves turning yellow. Is that a nitrogen deficiency?

Nice harvest!! I got a dinafem blue cheese as a freebie promo from the bank and I am glad I did. It ended up being in my top 10 of my favorite smokes. I will definitely order more of her in the future when my seed supply dwindles. My plant took on more of the blueberry vs cheese pheno.

To answer your question: For hydro it is 2 or 3 days. For coco 1 week and for soil 2 weeks. The question is when to start? After the calyxes have swelled and the pistils start retracting, then you flush.

@Mrs_Larimar, Hi there! I'm currently on day 33 of flower, planning on harvesting around day 60, so definitely got a few more weeks to go. I think they'll be good around the first week of Feb, but we'll have to see how they do. These girls are a clone of a friends, I am 17 days behind him and I've seen his swell in the past 10 days. So another week or so till the ladies fatten up.

I think it's time to start the flush buddy πŸ‘ Our Blue Cheese has filled out really well, get that flush started my friend. Harvest is approaching fast πŸ‘Œ Thank you for the diary update, please keep then coming prior to harvest πŸ‘ All the best ✌️ Mark..

@DinafemSeeds, thank you for the kind words, Mark! Only niggle I struggled with on the plants was height due to my setup. Otherwise the strain was fantastic. I managed 188g dry bud from 1 plant and 63g from the other. Lower heat and a more stable environment, I reckon that 400g is achievable! Unfortunately I can't get reliable delivery of Dinafem seeds in South Africa, so have to go with what is available. Thanks again for the feedback, I'll definitely grow from Dinafem again. Cheers!

@ThatZimbo, Now that's feedback we love to hear and let's us know we are doing our job correctly πŸ‘Œ You really did an amazing job with our Blue Cheese my friend, bug fat buds dripping in trichomes and a very respectable end yield πŸ‘Š What did you get close to 350g from a 400w light? Think if you did not have the heat issues πŸ‘ You would have easily smashed that magic g/watt πŸ‘ What a great end to a great diary πŸ‘Š Time to chill out and enjoy that dank and frosty end product πŸ‘Œ All the best ✌️ Mark..

@DinafemSeeds, It's not been a month since harvest and the buds have been curing in quart jars with 62% Bovida's. Holy shit does it smoke well. Full of berry flavour and a light smoke with little cough. Very impressed with the strain and will definitely grow again. πŸ˜€

For just 35 days into bloom those flowers are looking fantastic. Really starting to swell up now and with roughly 25 day's remains they still have plenty of time to pack on even more weight πŸ‘ Very impressed so far my friend and please keep the updates coming we want to see how this ends πŸ‘Š All the best ✌️ Mark..

Thank you very much for the feedback. very happy with the plants at this stage! Clones of this plant under purple LEDs have grown white heads, pretty spectacular anomaly. I'll get some pictures for you if you would like?
