Fromage 2x

These guys are going into water I've left out for the last few weeks to let all the stuff I don't want evaporate out. Gonna be in there for maybe 24 to 48 hours depending on how they look, then they will be dropped in the soil. Stay tuned... 10/2 Germination went very well. They both look strong and aren't reaching too far. See latest pics and next week's update!

10/6 Everything seems to be going well. Cheese #2 is a bit bigger than #1 but both seem healthy, as of today we are still keeping plastic bags over top to keep humidity and heat up. Just dampening top layer of soil with evaporated tap water, I will PH the next watering as I haven't done that with any of the water yet. They don't seem to be drinking much yet though so still just letting them do their seedling thing. I'll post some more updates by the end of the week! ✌️ 10/9 So far so good! No one needs water yet. Just watching very closely now for any problems that may arrise. 10/11 Everyone is getting their first watering today (see nutes). I'm only doing a very small amount of everything just to see what happens and make sure they have everything they need. I'm also adding the same amount of black magic "all purpose supplement" to the mix. I know I've got a rag tag group of nutes I've collected so any analyzation on any extras that could help out would be greatly appreciated. I especially need recommendations for flowering nutes later in the grow! Thanks all!

10/16 So the girls are doing well. They have been watered twice now and #1 just had what looked like a tiny bit of nute burn but took much better to the second watering. They are absolutely exploding veg wise and raising the light was necessary as #1 was much to short, will be updating with transplant soon! 10/18 Ok so transplant happened today. They were growing so quick we needed to move them as soon as they were water ready! They got transplanted into 5g fabric style pots. Did 2/3 Fox Farms "ocean forest" and 1/3 perlite mix. Used same nute mix for watering on the transplant, will change that up soon. See pics and video for more info! 10/22 There seems to be a nitrogen lockout. I'm guessing it was the unneeded cal mag add. Learned our lesson! Upped our grow big and giving the first water in big pots. Other than that they are growing amazing!

10/25 So we seemed to have solved the nitrogen problem. We did loose a few lower level leaves unfortunately, but nothing the ladies can't handle. They are really taking off height wise as well as pushing tons of nodes. We also have our first sign of pistils! So next week should be week 1 of flowering. For now gonna stick with this nutrient mix for next watering, it worked wonders before! See all pics and updated info

11/3 Girls are looking great! They have all been fed once of that same mixture since last update, I may up some nutes and add bloom next water. See a little bit of Browning on a leaf of #1 So we will be keeping a close eye on that. Training is going really well, did no topping just straight LST and excited for the results, as you can see in the pics they have a lot of really nice large looking bud sites, just gonna get a few more exposed to light and air then will stop when veg growth seems to be slowing. Cheese #1 seems to still be a bit smaller but they both are getting nice and bushy just like I remember! Check out pics for more update!

So both the ladies look absolutely beautiful, pretty much the same structure but Cheese #1 is just a bit smaller. They both are definitely kicked into flowering mode but some veg and fan leaf growth is still happening. Cheese #2 seems to be a bit further into flowering than #1. The training looks perfect so far, they both need to get a few fan leaves tucked but other than that we are probably gonna leave the ties and just keep making sure they are tight, not adding more. We have also introduced some bloom nutes and dropped the amount of veg nutes. We are probably gonna switch the bulb and got to 12/12 this week! See new pics and check back soon!

Everything is going great! No apparent problems so keeping the current feeding schedule. Cheese #2 is a real bush of a plant and as you can see Cheese #1 is still small but chugging along wonderfully. I switched out to the 600w HPS bulb and dropped to 15h of light eventually dropping to 12/12 next week. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving! Everyone is doing great. They have all taken really welly to the HPS switch and 15h of light. We dropped to 12/12 today. Cheese #1 seems to be the smallest still but smells really sweet, almost like bubblegum. Cheese #2 is a nice size. Both are super bushy, unruly. The buds are stacking on nicely now, trich production has definitely been underway for a little while. Stay tuned as we count down to harvest 🦃

12/2 We are getting close! Lots of resin production and buds are getting nice and fat. Tons of pistils too, should make for some cool bag appeal. They are both super tight strong plants! Wish we could have gotten a bit more surface area with training but all the nugs look excellent. On both #1 and #2 there is a bit of browning on some leaves but not much. Looks like something cal-mag can fix so ill add a very small amount next water and see if it slows. Other than that they are nice! Smell amazing and are quite frosty 👌 stay tuned...

12/7 These ladies are doing great! Really focusing on their buds. We added a small bit of cal mag and it seemed to pretty much stop any brown growth. #2 is turning a really pretty dark plum purple near the advanced bud sites. Starting doing a little bit of defoliation to open up those inner sites, just gonna do a little more when she recovers from the last sessions. We are getting close to the finish line, hang in there!

Everything is looking great! We are at probably 50% milky and 5% Amber on so flush time is around the corner. They are looking and smelling quite similar even though #2 is quite a bit larger and darker. The buds look almost identical so we are Interested to see how different they end up. The cal mag also seemed to pretty much solve all the Browning issues so we will probably keep that small amount until flush! Finish line is near!

So we have some good news and some Not so good news this week. The not so good news is that #2 's main cola was too tight and moist and she developed some bud rot (see pics). The good news is we removed the infected areas and she seems to have made a good recovery. Most of the yield is still there without a doubt. We also sent #2 into flush last week and started the flush for #1! We will probably let #2 go through a few water cycles and chop. Pretty much all milky and amber trichs on #2 and 95% on #1. #1 is small and really finishing up quickly now! Stay tuned for soon harvest!

Cheese #2 got chopped! Thankfully just one more small nug had bud rot and the rest was just fine 👌 the plant got a hang dry after trim job, then into jars for curing. Waiting for #1 to finish flushing and then I will post harvest, for now enjoy the pics 😊

Easy strain to grow over all. I like how well all the seeds start, every grow has had a 100% germination rate. Would work well large scale seeing as they are priced well too. Smoke is north American styled cheese, semi sweet. Very comfortable stone but has some decent potency, these phenos ran a bit more indica than the last plant but it's relaxing and comforting.
