Blue Cheese - Mainlining

Blue Cheese- Light- farmer sf-2000 only in a 3x3 tent Substrate- Michigan Made M3 Soil in a 6 gal fabric air pot Training Methods- Mainlining (HST), LST, and Defoliation Growth- Initial growth was fast and vigorous and was moved out of a solo cup after 12 days with a very impressive root system established already. I topped her almost immediately and started to manipulate her into the manifold I wanted. I ended up going for 6 mains and allowed the inner growth of new buds to continue as well. She never showed any signs of stress during transplant and during the extreme HST at first which was very impressive. When she hit 2 ft tall, I switched her over to Flower which was after week 7. She continued to consistently grow and keep a very lush green color and nearly doubled herself in size during flower and she really took a liking to the SF2000 light. Even when she stretched up real close to the light it just seemed to help more. I got 5 really massive colas on this mainline attempt , one for one reason or another ( I think kuz I took clones from this branch) didn’t grow up past the cage but I still got a nice fat dence bud off it. The buds grew super dense with an incredible layer of sticky trichomes that would make my fingers feel like glue whenever I touched them! She faded into a beautiful purple/blue color and I believe she was definitely more so on the blueberry pheno side than cheese so im real interested to pop the other 2 beens sometimes in the near future. Nutrients ~ Like I do with most my plants I started her slowly with just microbial feeds (w/Mammoth P and Recharge) and I did not start using my main nutrient line (Nectar for The Gods) until week 7 for this run. Because im using M3 I kept it real simple because of how nutrient rich that soil is. She showed no signs of deficiency at all throughout the entire grow. This plant reacted real well to my NFTG soil drenches and foliar feeds. I kept my program as simple as possible with following this schedule (for the most part) Microbe tea /VEG ONLY*foliar spray No Water Feed /VEG ONLY*foliar spray Microbe tea No Water /VEG ONLY*foliar spray No Water or Flush (every two weeks) Aroma/Taste ~ Besides how it grows the best attribute to this plant is its aroma. It is SO uniquely refreshing. It’s a very sour almost minty burn on your nose , with a lingering berry / fruit layer to really compliment it. I did not get any cheese smells at all however , which is fine for me, I didn’t get them during growth and I don’t get them even after a month of curing. The aroma is so intense though that it almost does not matter. Its definitey the kind of bud the reeks through the bag through your pants making you completely obvious haha which is what I want! So far out of all the bud in my line up , this is the real crowed pleaser and very comparable to the “premium” quality bud people want/ get around me. Effects~ Heavy hitter for sure. Definitely a spread down the middle of Sativa/Indica on effect. Makes me feel happy and euphoric and almost energetic , doesn’t make me couch locked at all. Its a perfect evening toke for letting a bad day fade away or for hanging out with friends and definitely for playing some xbox 8) Overall thoughts~ This plant is really easy to grow. Hands down. I think Dinafem did a fantastic job in creating a strain that is tolerable to many diferent conditions. She grows very quickly and is “branchy” so she can get thick quick! Because of this she has potential to be a huge yielder even when using varying types of training. I mainlined my plant, and this was a first for me, so I went into it nervous as hell! I’m glad I chose these Dinafem blue cheese genetics to experiment with because she took everything like a true warrior! It just goes to show the true ease of growing this plant. *Also on a side note she clones very well almost consistently on the 12th or 13th day . If you get the purple pheno you will definitely be glad you saved its genetics! Such a cool strain with endless possibilities. Drying Method: -Hang dried for 12 days as a whole plant -Big fan leaves trimmed off on 8th day of dry -trimmed and jarred WITHOUT boveda. I believe boveda ruins the aroma and flavor of my bud personally and have better success with the traditional curing it in a mason jar and burping for a month .
