Swollen Hello friends!!! After a bountiful outdoor summer season, I've decided to start the new year with two strains that I love: Amnesia and Cheese. This diary will follow the Cheese grow from seed to harvest. The Cheese strain is from Old School Genetics: OSG Cheese. I've got it from the Old School Genetics stand during MaryJane Festival in Berlin: I've bought some 98's Silver Haze and these Cheese seeds. I love old school flavours! Let's see what they say about it: "Introducing OSG Cheese, the epitome of cannabis excellence curated by Old School Genetics’ Oldies Never Die series. This variety reimagines the iconic U.K Exodus Cheese clone, enhancing its stature with the infusion of Old Widow genetics. At Old School Genetics, we are thrilled to present OSG Cheese, a masterpiece that pays homage to the past while embracing the future of cannabis cultivation. Old School Genetics treasures an exceptional genetic lineage from Old Widow 90’s. This valuable genetic pool enhances feminized formats and substantially improves most strains it’s crossed with. Boasting a high terpene percentage, OSG Cheese becomes the ideal choice for various extractions and hash production. Its persistent aroma and flavor are revered, making it a prime candidate for extraction enthusiasts. OSG Cheese boasts a Skunk-like growth pattern with improved structure and branching. Its growth is more rigid and compact, a stark contrast to the sensitivity and frailty often associated with the U.K Exodus Cheese selection from the late 80s. Infused with the vitality of Old Widow 90’s genetics, OSG Cheese offers robust growth and excellent branching, resulting in bountiful yields. The flowers showcase an exceptional calyx-to-leaf ratio, simplifying the manicuring process. This variety is a dream come true for lovers of classic Skunk strains. OSG Cheese brings to the table one of the most exceptional flavors and aromas of all time – authentic Skunk Funk from the old school. Many growers of this variety find its aroma reminiscent of another legendary Skunk, RKS (Road Kill Skunk). When cultivating OSG Cheese indoors, carbon filters are essential due to its intensely robust aroma, reminiscent of pungent cheese. It’s the perfect choice for growers seeking a unique bouquet that’s hard to find in contemporary strains. In 2015, OSG Cheese secured the 1st place for Best Hash at the ICMAG Cup in Amsterdam. This collaboration between Old School Genetics and Hashcelona marked a triumph, with the variety receiving high praise from judges. The ICMAG Amsterdam Cup recognized OSG Cheese for its exceptional quality and contributions to the world of hash production." The germination was perfect: in less than 2 days, two out of two seeds sprouted from the ground. 23°C, 75% RH

Swollen First week of vegetation for the two OSG Cheese! The week went well without problems. Maintaining a constant temperature and humidity (21/22 ° C - 65/70% RH) the plants started to grow, I added some power roots and silica to enhance root development, resistance and nutrient absorption, unfortunately I forgot to add some pure zym but it's ok anyway, from the following week I will add it. Well, what can I say... the seedlings are starting to grow at a good pace and in a homogeneous way, I'm happy! See you next week friends! Happy growing!

Swollen Second week of vegetative stage of OSG Cheese! As I said last week, I forgot to add the pure zym to the nutrient mix. The week went well, the girls raised and chunked up. I raised the dimmer of the lamp to 65%. Now it is 23°C and about 65% humidity in the grow room. In the next few days I will transplant them both into the final pot and I will start (obviously not right away, they should be left alone) to perform some training on them! Let's see what happens next week! Happy growing friends!

Swollen Hello friends 👋 This week I've transplanted the babies in a 8 liter pot. That's it! When I removed them from the pot they had an excellent root system. Now I must wait a few days for starting some training. Let's see what happens next! Happy growing!

Swollen First week after transplant! They had some minimum problems after the transplant but seems they're recovering. I started giving them Alga Grow and some Calmag. After some few days the training started. I want to pull the main top of each plant towards the cardinal points of the tent for developing the other branches towards the center, maybe if I have enough time during flowering I'll scrog. Let's see what happens next week! Happy growing brothers and sisters!

Swollen Fifth week of veg for the OSG Cheese! The training is going slowly but i think soon the babies will explode! One of the two is already kicking in! Now i have just to wait and train them day by day. I'll defoliate only when strictly necessarily. Let's wait and see what happens next week! Happy growing brothers and sisters!

Swollen Sixth week of veg for the OSG Cheese! Finally the training is starting to become useful! I think it will be good for me to start the flowering next week due to the two months of flower these babies will take to getting ladies and I don't want to arrive in June because it will be hot and the tent will get hotter! The top one is becoming slowly the most vigorous plant of the tent, it's a pleasure to train her and seems really strong. Lot of bud sites! I'll train them till three quarter of the pots surface will be covered and then I'll put them to flower. Maybe i will do some defoliation. I hope the next weeks will be covered better in this diary by me because I've had lot of work and no time at all! However, let's see what happens next week! Happy growing brothers and sisters!

Swollen Seventh and last week of veg for the OSG Cheese! The plants are exploding now! I've started mixing a 50/50 of Alga Grow and Bloom, just for helping the transition to the blooming nutrient. I did some minor defoliation. Even with the training the plant is becoming tall, so I've decided to start the flowering from this week. The plant on the upper corner is becoming a monster, a very vigorous pheno. Let's see what happens next week, I have great expectations! Happy growing brothers and sisters!

Swollen First week of flowering for the OSG Cheese! The girls are starting to stretch. They're remaining very compact but with lot of budding sites. For the next two weeks of flowering I'll give Power Buds and focus on the grow in height and then I'll defoliate a bit for helping the light penetration. I changed a bit the feeding schedule giving only bloom nutrients after the 50/50 grow/bloom. Let's see what happens next week! Happy growing brothers and sisters!

Swollen Second week of flowering for the OSG Cheese! The stretch is going well, another 15 cm gained this week. I've done some minor defoliation and a lot of leaves tucking, the major defoliation will take after the end of the third week of flowering after the full stretch. I've added PK 13/14 to the feeding schedule. Let's see what happens next week. Happy growing brothers and sisters!

Swollen Third week of flowering for the OSG Cheese! I think the stretch is finished, probably the girls will take some height in the next week just for the flowers. I've added Sugar Royal in the feeding chart. The flowers are starting to grow and the perfumes in the tent are getting crazy! These Cheese are smelling like a sweet floral dairy cream. I think the sweet and floral smell is made by the Widow genetics, really recognisable! The trichomes quantity on these girls is really good, now I see why they wrote about extractions. I've defoliated a lot during the end of the week for helping the air circulation, the situation is really tight so I don't want to mess with mold and rotting roots. We will see what happens next week friends. Happy growing brothers and sisters!

The Skunk/Cheese scents of these plants are now filling the tent and are mixing very well with the limy and hazy Amnesia that I'm growing next to. Let's see what happens next week. Happy growing brothers and sisters!

Swollen Fifth week of flowering for the OSG Cheese! Sticky! More stickiness!!! These two girls are incredibly powdered in trichomes and smell amazing!!! The flowers are not bulking so much but they're producing more trichomes day by day. From now on I will diminish the nutrients till the last two weeks when I'll give them only water. The trichomes are getting milky right now. These two pheno are full of leaves so I'm starting to think to make another defoliation... Let's see what happens next week. Happy growing brothers and sisters!

Swollen Sixth week of flowering for the OSG Cheese! Oh wow a snowy mountain! Ahahah! This genetic screams louder "extraction"!! Trichomes are everywhere and now I can really recognise the widow and cheese mix! Absolutely fantastic! I have one seed left and I definitely want to try it on a bigger pot! 😉 However, I halved the nutrients and from next week I will feed her with only pH'd water and sometimes calmag. Let's see what happens next week. Happy growing brothers and sisters!

Swollen Second last week for the OSG Cheese! Damn, these flowers are rocks! The scent in the tent is amazing and very strong, even with an excellent quality carbon filter. The next week will be the last one so I'm giving them only water and sometimes a little bit of cal mag. I hope to try these nugs before the end of May, I'm really excited about! Let's see what happens in the next, final, week. Happy growing brothers and sisters!

Happy Harvest Day!

Cheese Old School Genetics

10/10

Rated

Amazing strain from Old School Genetics (Why they're not here in this site? I don't get it) Man, I love the cheese strain and this one doesn't disappoint! Skunky, cheesy and floral/sweet terpenes were making my tent explode! Trust me, if you want to grow this strain BUY A GOOD QUALITY FILTER! For me it's a 10/10 easily, I love old school tastes and this mix of skunky cheese and floral sweet white widow it's simply spectacular. Recommended for old school lovers.

Swollen The harvest was a nightmare (in a good way) Scissors and fingers were sticky as hell after the first trim. It's totally an extraction strain hands down. Thank you Old School Genetics for this awesome strain and please, PLEASE join this platform. You deserve good reviews! See ya on the next grow buddies! Peace
