This is my 2nd grow first time with blue cheese. This weeks progress has been great! Started off with a little ph problem because i didnt rinse the wrockwhool thoroughly. But alls good now. Started from clone. Im using a 75watt cfl for one more week then moving up to a 400MH with cooling tube. Any advice is welcome. Happy growing people! 😁😁

It's week 5 sorry for no updates I have been away over December. Still using CFL bulb as tent is too small for me to use my MH or HPS bulb so looking to buy a new tent for flowering and keeping this one as a nursery or veg tent. Really pleased with her performs since iv been away. I topped twice before i went away but she has fully recovered and Is doing great. Going to introduce SCROG netting next week and biggin flowering in 3-4 weeks. I am tempted to move to LED but they seem really costly to buy 😕 does anyone have experience with LEDs ? I'm very curious. Happy growing.

So I'm having real problems have tried adding extra nitrogen but that has just made her worse turns out I was being advise the wrong nuts and was using a hard based flora micro which has taken vital nutrition from my plant. I think she has come under to much stress so I don't think i will be putting her into flower but will try to fix the problem before Binning her so I know what to do in the future. Will being changing alot on my next grow so stay tuned.

so I don't know what I'm doing wrong using same feed and technics that if used on alll of my other grows yet I'm getting constant problems moved the light cycle to 18 on 6 off . going to keep this one going but not expecting any good fruits from her. growth has slowed to almost a stop. not happy but this is all part of the learning process.

so it now week 14 there has been so many problems but i have finally solve them all! This Blue Cheese is so tuff. Growth has gone crazy and she is a lush green now. I think the purple stems are just genetics. I'm stretching her out for another week then putting into flower. Still using 300watt led transplanted into a 30L pot

Sooo it's been a while since I posted we are 3 days into a flush chopping her down some point next week I'm not 100% happy with her but due to the amount of stress she's been put under I'm surprised she managed to look this good! Not bad for second grow. The smell is amazing mixed between blueberries and cheese. I may to anither update next week or it may weight till she's fully cured etc. Happy growing

@JUNGLE_B4RNS what do you think? an improvement? light schedule be moved to 18 on 6 off. I'm feeding twice a day and watering once every 2 days and am now using a 300 watt led. I'm happy with the progress. I have changed the flora micro and also am using the full flora series . thank you again for your advise.

@MRCANDY,from what I have read, your pH is too high. Check this , it might help you : https://www.alchimiaweb.com/blogen/grow-cannabis-rockwool/

@MRCANDY, Are you watering every day ? Or does the roots get a dry day every 3 days ?

Hi man! About your leaves clorosis. I think you have a wrong VPD, combo of temp and HR% is not in optimal range. Check a vpd chart for cannabis on web. When this value is wrong your plant turn clorosis like ph problem or Mg deficiency. I’m thinking your problem is a low HR% in relation at your temp. Keep attention, vpd value is referred to foliar (leaf) temp not tent temp, normally leaf temp is 2-3 degree higher (cause in light spectrum is there infrared)

@Mr_Di, thankyou for the advise. Think i have sorted the problem 😃 what do you think?

.... "using a hard based flora micro which has taken vital nutrition from my plant...." Is that from you or your growshop vendor ? To find the reason on what’s going wrong ? Cuz it really sounds like a vendor excuse to make another sell .... Next time you go to your growshop get a TDS meter , it’s the best thing and a must have as you grow in rockwool.... Now for me it looks like deficiency... running your plant on 24H light schedule is another Internet myth.... that plant is photosynthesising non-stop. How does work the photosynthesis process ? Plants use water and Co2 with the light during daylight... to create O2 (oxygen) and starch (sugar) . When the night comes the O2 is released in the atmosphere and the starch is sent to the roots , a part of this starch is stocked in the roots and another part is used to feed the micro-organisms near the roots .... As you tried almost everything, flushing, increasing nutrients.... Try my solution, very easy, very simple, you will be saving energy and money : Switch your light schedule to 18/6 ☝️ Let see in 1 week Edit : If it works, promise me that you won’t ever use that bloody non-biodegradable rockwool... 😊

@MRCANDY,perfect 👍 Oh , by the way , those white dots looks like Thrips damage but I can’t tell exactly from only one picture.

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, thankyou so much for the help. She is now on 16 on 8 off. I have given her a flush and will be setting her up with a new feed tomorrow. Will update I week from today. Well I think this will be the last time using it but will defiently use something environmentally friendly next time

How's your blue cheese coming along? The last pic she looks a bit overwatered I've had the same problem it seems to happen if there's a ph issue. This is what happened to me I had a ph issue then she stopped drinking and that caused over watering issue which led to root rot. As long as she's healthy when you flip to 12 you should get a nice harvest. Good luck

Looks like she's turning yellow on you. I agree with Mr DI, but you could also have a nitrogen deficiency. Best wishes...
