After three days, seed sprouted in paper towel, transferred to stonewool plug then to coco perlite hempy 3 gal bucket. What would start as a brown coty leaf would become a couple nodes of speckled leaves until I stopped overwatering.
When this sprouted, it had speckled leaves. Considered pulling it, but it didn't suffer from early overwatering as much as the other freebie seed. This one looks more Sativa influenced than the other one. It flowered later than that smaller cheese. Close-up pic from week 7, wider view from previous week. Pistils browned quick, in a couple days. Trichs look to be mostly cloudy. Canuk says this is eight weeks in flower. Will continue to monitor trichs and begin flushing before end of this week. Planning on a four day flush and two day dark starve as other hempy flushes from this run have shown runoff TDS comes down quick.
Will update further after cure complete.
Harvested at beginning of 14th week from seed. Of the three plants that finished in this run, this one probably got the best flush even though it wasn't the longest. Started to see yellow and blue by the time it was cut. Mild trimming at harvest. Went 10 days drying at around 60-70RH. Dried on string in boxes, dry trimmed some, moved to paper bag for a few days where RH ended up at 58. May have over dried slightly. Sealed paper bag inside a plastic bag for a few days before continuing to jarring. My drying process was experimental, but wanted better smell from buds than what I'd achieved with other plants grown with this one. The smaller stunted cheese smelled amazing, but the smell faded during dry/cure and it didn't taste the best. That one got the least days flush, but its potential was still evident.
This cheese had more dense buds (still not as dense as Early Miss). Some of the buds turned out bluish, most likely because night temps were 57-60F and it was colder during 48 hours dark. It smells just like the other cheese--both Canuk freebies from separate orders. The smoking experience is mild to moderate with a heavy indica lean. Mild-to-moderate head. No anxiety. Heavy body. Too much and it can cause drowsiness. Good night cap cultivar for me. At first, I thought this one didn't smell as strong as the first cheese, but I must be getting desensitized because others say it reeks.
I would definitely grow this again, but I doubt mine got up to the advertised 22% THC. More like 15. Yes, this plant was stressed in early grow, but rebounded nicely. Relative to the Early Miss from CKS also in this grow, this cheese is maybe a little less potent even though the Cheese is supposed to be more potent according to the respective company's information. It would make sense that Canuk's cheese is similar to other/original cheese strains which seem to be listed around 15% THC, but who knows, maybe it could become killer with a better grow/grower.
