Zamnesia Cheese Auto

First of all a big shout out @zamnesia for offering me some seeds to give a try. I will be growing their version of the critical cheese. An auto version of the well renowned strain uk cheese. A real delight for everyone who ever smoked this strain. A really great old school strain with an amazing taste and smell. Very curious how this auto version will turn out.

Cheese. They eventually discovered that by mixing Critical, with a high quality specimen of Cheese and topping it all off with a Ruderalis strain for good measure; they could create a highly potent, therapeutic and manageable autoflowering model. This new and improved version was to be called Critical Cheese Automatic. Critical Cheese Automatic encapsulates everything that made the original Cheese strain so prolific and well loved; for example, harnessing the strain's skunky flavors, pungent aroma and knockout high. Lovers of the original will no doubt for in love with this feminized reincarnation. When smoked, Critical Cheese Automatic's exceptionally potent prowess come to the forefront; inducing a strong and gratifying body stone of both longevity and depth. With in mind (or rather body) it is no wonder so many medical marijuana user are quick to snap up this skunky character. Sufferers of the likes of chronic pain, inflammation, stress, anxiety and migraines (to name but a few); will find that their symptoms are greatly reduced if not cured thanks to this powerful strain. Thanks to the strain's auto-flowered upgrade, novice growers can also get a piece of the action. For quite a vigorous plant, she is still incredibly manageable and doesn't require any excessive treatment. Cultivators on a cash crop trail may also find Critical Cheese Automatic to their liking - going from germination to harvest in just 10 weeks. Grown to her full potential, she is capable of yielding around 120-150g per plant. In addition to her good yields, Critical Cheese Automatic grows to a relatively compact size (1m), making her suitable all types of cultivation. That being said, when she is grown in warmer climates (say Spain or Italy for example), Critical Cheese Automatic truly flourishes.

_________________ Mid week 2 update: _________________ What a great plant so far. She is truly fantastic. The growth this week is incredible. First time sprayed with vita race in the beginning of the week. She seems to like the ironspray. Also gave some supplements for the first time. Such as kelp, omina, power roots and pure zym. Started leaftucking where possible. No noteworthy problems, So very satisfied with the progress this week. On to the next week!

_________________ End of week 3 update: _________________ I started leaftucking, where possible. Has had a positive impact immediately. The growth in this plant is good. Although she is certainly not the biggest of the gang. She has certainly made a great progress. Short internodes and good number of side shoots Plant is preparing for flowering. Signs of pre-flowering are present. Apart from the additives that I provide, no additional nutrients have been added.

End of Week 4: First week already of flower. She's really fast.... Flowering already after nearly 30 days. She's expected to go from seeds to harvest in 70 days and at this rate no doubt about is she's gonna succeed in this. Noticed some calmag deficiency and slight nutrient burn Wich is strange. Trying to figure out what's causing this. On to the next week

End of week 5: Alright looks like I'm running Into some kind of problem. Their seems to be an issue with discolouration in the leaves. Looks like an excess of P or some calmag deficiency, Wich is very odd. The ec level of the feeding is at 0,6 relatively low and the run off from the pot is at pH 6.5. so that couldn't be the issue. Totally in the dark about what's going on . Not gonna try anything crazy to correct this. But it is still kinda worrying. On to the next week!

End of week 6: Unfortunately the ongoing problems are not resolved, they're even getting worse. Can't seem to narrow it down. Checked everything, but no clue what's going on. I'm starting to think my ec/pH meter is way off. Gonna recalibrate and see what the results are. In the meantime she's actually doing great despite these issues. She's really flowering and the smell coming of these flowers is already pungent. She really has those lovely cheese genetics. On to the next week!

End of week 7: Boom, what an excellent week regarding creating buds. Despite the issues she really gained a lot of weight this week. I can almost see the buds grow on a day to day basis. She's not the biggest of the bunch, but boy does she looks and smell amazing. The skunky cheese smell overpowers everything in the grow room. Really amazing, can't wait to give her a try. On the next week!

Okay guys, another week of ripening the cheese has passed. Getting closer each day...but the waiting game is always difficult. Have been flushi g her the last couple of days. She's taking up nutrients as much a she can from her fan leaves. She looks and smells really good. You know cheese when you smell cheese. And she isn't different in that way. That special skunky pungency....hhmmm love it. Guessing week and a half before harvest. Can't wait.... On to the next week!

First and foremost, everyone thanks for following and the many comments. It really motivated me to fill in this diary as well as possible. Within a few weeks I will start a new round and hopefully you will follow again. Thank you growdiaries community! All in all satisfied with this grow. Just a pity about the heat problems towards the end of the grow. This has definitely had an impact on the bud growth and quality of the buds in the upper regions. . certainly not a difficult to grow plant. Can withstand some nutrients and stress, yields low but tastes delicious. But the low outcome have me doubt whether I am going to grow this next round again0
