Blue Cheese bag seed - 1st grow

Plant D (back right corner) is much older and was stressed out from waterlogged coco and is about 4-5 weeks older (lucky to be alive) - she is already flowering on 18hours light (auto genetics? or stress?) the other 3 plants were started in rockwool and then in clay balls and are 4 weeks old. (its very cold here and growth has been an issue) .. but last week they have taken off.. and am happy with all 4 plants were from a bag seed, Blue cheese strain (i have no reason to doubt that is indeed the strain) - currently under a cheap 600w (110w draw) light with another light to be added for flowering. this 1st grow i have attempted, but i do have some knowledgeable in plants, it has felt like learning all over again

As this is my 1st grow(in 20years) i am unsure on what kinda stretch i will get, Not sure when to hit them with 12/12 - Flower 1 more week? I dont have a huge amount of space (maybe 70-80cm max left)

Week 1 Flower, So cold here, so i think growth has slowed a lot.. hoping for some warmer weather or i may look at small heating.. but mite wait till next winter for that. Have a inkbird temp controller(heat/cool/wifi model) on way so just need a small heater. I am also having the problem of the girls are drinking so much 1 day and about 4l gone. i just need to keep on top of it, learning experience this run so happy so far.

So they are really moving alone... they are getting real thirsty and i need to keep on top of it with such a small res. (15-20L).. but they are looking happy atm.. so far so good.. UPDATE Added inkbird Temp Control (cooling+ heating relay) - didnt realize my tent was getting so hot b4 now.. oops -- would have been hitting 30c at some points (dont have thermometer) - all good now sitting at between 20-26 (23+/- 3) - so far a great investment. love being able to view/change setting from the app. only cooling (exhaust fan) hooked up atm.

Well the girl in the back left has stretched out.. others 2 have started to last 1-2 days, the back right which started budding early is getting overrun.. but will leave for a little while b4 i pull it to make space? Inkbird Temp controller seems good.. and i am happy with it so far , altho app could have more features and better temp over time graph.. the grow continues!

So hope to replace broken light soon, with a quantum board or simular, did some trying down and trimming.. + res change.. see how it goes..

Moving alone.. not much to report.. hoping to get new light, but that hasn't happen.. maybe next grow. trimed a lot to make some room and let main stalks have some space

Another week another update.. still alive and still growing.. be it at different stages... running out of room up top.. eeek.. still no new light.. but looking at getting that within 2-3 weeks.. may have to trim some of more mature if i notice any bud rot.. but so far so good

Slowly goes... but healthy i cleaned out a lot of under growth and branches that were just a waste of resources, Smoked a little of the small plant i chopped 3 weeks ago. and while not cured.. is very nice.. lots of taste and very strong high even from smaller buds.

Well i have a dilemma, all 3 plants are in the same system, but plant 1 is showing sings of being ready. Not sure if i should let it go longer.. but i dont think i will be able to flush it.. i was thinking about doing a 3 days flush.. then harvesting the 1 plant and uping the Nutes again.. any ideas would be great!

Another week another Update (bit late sorry), but anyway, Cut the mature, a spot of mold on a bud close to tent, About 1.2oz off that plant, some pics included, Others a going slowly, but still 3-4 weeks easy with these 2, going to go as long as i can, made some improvements to air flow, and not seeing any other mold.. we solider on!

slowly goes ... they are starting to fatten up nicely now tho.. few more weeks.. but buds will be very nice i think, i have time and just going to let the girls go. the dried smoke is very nice from the girl that got chopped.. insane resin production on this strain

Its going slowly, but they look like they will be nice if given a few more weeks , will keep pushing along! have plenty of changes and ideas for next grow 😀

Well, they are getting fatter, and when lights are off.. buds look full white... its like snow... have a 240w LM301H on the way and will prob be under that for last 1.5-2.5 weeks of their life .. lots of things learnt and have just put in some Auto Colorado Cookies for the next grow.. onward and upwards!!

Finally got my LM301H 3500K + R-SPEC 240w, Sorry for low quality Pictures, good Camera has some issues, fixed in a week. I am starting a 2 week flush even though i could prob push it another week on nutes, but time to clear the tent out for some auto's and to start off a fresh..

Cut today Week 20. Was a Rewarding 1st Grow, I learnt a Lot, Thank you so much to the Grow Diaries Community for being so helpful and taking a look at my grow.. still in Drying progress atm but there is almost 1kg of wet bud.. so i guesstimated about 4oz (i normally am good at this, there would maybe even be more.. very dense heavy buds , but will update in 6-10 days with final weight) So What i have Learnt? - 1. Give Roots more room (in flower Pots next time) 2. More o2 (Air) to the Root zone the better (had root issues mostly due to lake of O2, upgraded Air pump stones) 3. for Photo's Maybe flower Earlier because of Stretch (growing auto's next so not an issue) 4. sometimes less is more.. (less plants.. instead of 4, next grow will be just 2 plants 5. Quality Light matters (had Cheap LED's, 80w draw each, I have upgraded to a QB with new LM301H 3500K RED 240w LED for next grow) Lots to put into Practice. Thanks again for riding along with me on my 1st Grow.
