Monstera - Triple Cheese [G6]

UnorthadoxDude Hello and welcome to week one for this baby Triple Cheese. Many people consider the first two weeks to be the seedling stage and not really vegetative stage but ai always run day one of veg as when the seedling has sprouted and opened its cotyledons. More photos to come each day in the early weeks. Day 2 brings two late sprouters joining the party. Do I kill half or run a sort of SoG 2 per pot? One of the two younger babies has damped off. It's not been going well. I think I've given them too much light. I have raised the light by about 20cm and reduced power to 50%

UnorthadoxDude Week two sees these babies way behind where they should be. You can see bad symptoms on the younger leaves, I think this was caused by light being too close. Since I raised the light a few days ago things seem better, luckily these are photos so there is plenty of time for them to recover. When I repot I will probably kill the little one. Update day 14 (18/3/26) Have transplanted into 1 gal fabric in Plagron 70/30 coco/perlite mix and fertigated with the new experimental nutrients and CalMag. Let's see what happens.

UnorthadoxDude Week three, the girls have bounced back from the repot. Have removed the leaves with deficiencies so I can monitor. Hoping for some good growth in the coming days. Day 19: Starting to look ok.

UnorthadoxDude Day 22 sees healthy looking plants. Small, but healthy. Day 24 and this plant is starting to catch up to her sister.

UnorthadoxDude Day 29. Plants looking good but some signs of P lockout/uptake disruption, likely due to CalMag over correction. Repot needed... time to decide if I should keep two or one and if the former whether to pot alone or together. Have today flushed with 10ml A & 10ml B and 1ml CalMag Day 35: I've transplanted into final pots. Not happy with progress or vigour so I have today switched to Shogun nutes. From here I am in familiar territory with all except the light. Will take a week for this girl to recover from the shock of transplant. I killed off the smaller plant as it had become root bound.

UnorthadoxDude Two days after transplant and switch to Shougun and look how this girl has responded! I am expecting big growth now and can hopefully flip in 2 weeks.

UnorthadoxDude Hello there! Here we are a little over a weel later and look at the response from these plants. Just goes to show how critical the right nutrition is in coco. Very happy with them now, though it's taken longer than I'd have hoped, I feel we are very close to being able to flip these girls. This Triple Cheese is looking great. She has responded well to training. I will do final pre-flip LST tomorrow and then flip them sometime next week. Maybe on the final day of week 8. 17th April 2026

UnorthadoxDude Day 55 - 26th April This Triple Cheese is going well. I forgot to do a before shot, but today I did a brutal defoliation, LST and HST training. I will be flipping very soon, scrog net is up. Day 56 27th April 26: Have changed timer to be on 1800-0600 and off between 0600-1800 so the first 12 hour darkness period will be tomorrow (28th April, day 57). Therefore this has been the final week of veg.

UnorthadoxDude Day 61 - 2nd May 26 The ladies have been on 12/12 for 4 days. Today I have upgraded lighting from Vivosun VS2000 200w to Lumatek Attis 300w.

UnorthadoxDude Day 65 - 6th May 2026 - 8 days since flip Pistil preflowers looking great. She's switched into pre-flower and will begin to stretch over the coming week as she settles into full flower. I have decided to call this Triple Cheese girl "Monstera".

UnorthadoxDude Day 72 - 13th May 2026 Monstera is progressing into flower nicely.

UnorthadoxDude Day 76 - 17th May 2026 Day 19 of 12/12 Monstera is well into the stretch now, and I have performed the final defoliation and aggressive removal of stems that will not make the canopy from here. I messed up, day 76 was week 11. Whoops. Day 81 - 22nd May 2026 Monstera showing the first signs of frost. Second tallet plant, stretching fast Day 84 - 25th May.2026 Monstera stretching rapidly and the frost is piling on.

UnorthadoxDude Day 91 - 1st June 2026 Monstera stretch has ended and she is rapidly frosting and adding bulk.
