So, the babies are slowly getting bigger; New set of leaves has come up.
Temperatures are still ok, even though humidity has slightly raised needs still some improvement. They're starting to drink a little bit more. Day four, no fertilizing yet, there's a small quantity of nutrients in the added soil, enough for now. Newt week they're going to be transplanted in a bigger and final pot (11l approximately)
End of week 2, quite satisfied for the moment, no big issues. The last pics are just before the following (and probably last) transplant to the fabric 10l pot.
Coconut and perlite substrate made a great work with the roots, they filled the entire pot pretty quickly and were starting to get all out the bottom.
Still no fertilizers added, nitrogen seems to be ok (it's not just coconut, some soil's been added just for the first times). Real soon the feeding schedule is going to start, next week the ladies're going to be topped and lightly trained.
Several sprouts are developing and humidity seems to be somehow stable around 50%
Plants transplanted with success, these are 11l final fabric pots. They're starting to eat more and looking slightly pale, so the feeding schedule has official started today, grow and bio at the same time. The plants have now double the amount of light, both lamps are set for a total amount of 250 effective watts.
The pheno #2 is definitely showing some pronounced bushiness, low space from internode to internode.
Update day 20 Almost the end of the week, topped voluntarily on the 6th internode, apparently old to be topped but the recover is way quicker, and the overall height is still low, 12 cm. Waiting the next days for recovery and fourth week will be dedicated mostly to LST.
End of fourth week. Despite some minor troubles with ec, now everything seems stable, plants are spreading horizontaly. Dominant colas have all been supercropped to create an even and flat canopy. The fifth week will be the last one, probably scrog net's going to be set real soon.
Almost ready for the switch, plants are taking the right flat canopy shape. Every cola has been tightly locked by LST. As soon as the light schedule changes the scorg net is going to be set. A real minor defoliation has been applied just to get more light penetration into the canopy, nothing aggressive.
Officially into flowering phase. Keeping on with the game, spreading the plants horizontally as much as we can. Probably this is going to be the last week of effective vegetation, so the training'll go (supercropping and LST) on until the very end. The E.C is now quite high, around 1,5.
Seventh week, day 46, keeping on cropping and LST, dominant colas in #1 have been fimmed and #3 has been topped. The stretch should start within a few days. Feeding schedule is going to change just after the stretch.
Effective flower has officially started. The stretch was absolute on point and under control, all plants are mostly the same height, they didn't stretch a lot at all. Some Epsom salt has been added to the feeding for magnesium because Florahydro is lacking it.
day 22 A small nitrogen deficiency is affecting the plants, the E.C is gonna be the same but to solve this issue the fertilizing frequency is increased.
day 25 The deficiency has definitely decreased, some real tiny buds at the bottom have been removed, but thanks to the total height of the plants the popcorn buds are not a lot at all.
Everything is proceeding quite well, the E.C. from now will be gradually decreased, until last week of just plain water.; especially the total nitrogen will be less.
Buds are slowing fattening up. Reducing always more, but gradually, nitrogen content. A real quick defoliation has been applied, just to remove bigger fan leaves, nothing aggressive.
Buds have definitely put some mass on, all colas seem pretty vigorous and full of nutrients. Towards the final end, probably just two weeks to harvest; so this 7th week of flower the E.C. will be around 700/800 with some molasses for terpenes and sugars.
The harvest will be within this final week, E.C. has been taken down to 120-160 for all three plants. Only demineralized water for this week, no molasses no fertilizers.
Thricomes are just on point; #2 is mostly cloudy while #1 and #3 are starting to get some amber heads. By the way plants are absolutely in time with the bank times for flowering.
Overall nice grow despite some trouble with drying, 35% humidity has been hard to correct at best. Buds seem decently hard, not the heaviest yield but it could be worse.
Best of luck with the grow my friend and thank you for choosing our genetics for this adventure on the grow diary platform 🤗
Let's see what you can do with our Blue Cheese 🤘
All the best ✌️
Mark..
Fantastic train guys great work!
Those girls are beautiful 😍
I'm trying mainlinig and my setup is similar to yours, keep up the good work.
bella raga 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Not long now and you'll be flipping that switch to 12/12 🤗
Impressive growth over the last week mate 👌
Keep the updates coming 🙏
All the best ✌️
Mark..
Those buds have packed on some serious weight over the last 14 day's 🤗
Well played so far 👍 Keep it up and you'll be well rewarded come harvest time 🙏
Until next time 👊
All the best ✌️

Hi just a question and well done on your grow.👍 I have a Blue Cheese grow is just a few weeks behind yours and I was wondering what percentage amber trichomes you chopped at. As I was thinking of taking mine a week longer with a two week flush to get a good couch lock effect and what your thoughts on that are. Many thanks for taking the time to look at this.👍
@kitkat332986, No, I meant thricomes, just check this

@Ceccarelli, Hi, thank you. 30/40% amber trichomes is high do you mean the pistils as I try for about 5/10%amber trichomes. I don't have instructions on flowering times as mine are Blue Cheese clones. I have found them to be very busy and needing defoliation a lot and suck up the nutrients.😎👍
@kitkat332986, hi mate
always take the seed company as landmark, dinafem says 50 days so just 7 weeks plus one day, I cut at 51 but always check closely your thricomes, they may be ready just there, later on even earlier, it really depends on the phenos too
personally I had three phenos, while two were around 30/40 percent amber the third one was just all cloudy, go for your personal choice (recent studys actually refer that perfect ripeness is on amberness of the heads ----> so amber doesn't really mean THC degradation but actually the opposite)
Some beautiful looking buds you got there. Fattening up nicely. Fantastic work my friend. Keep it up and may the ganja garden gods bless you along the way with this grow and all future endeavors as well
