Zamnesia spring cup.Critical cheese Auto

So I have been accepted for the Zamnesia spring cup! :) I had a lovely package contains 5 critical cheese automatic. A packet of feed one of their awesome 11litre pots and some labels! I germinated all 5 seeds (using paper towel method)as I wasn’t sure what their germination rates are like. Within 48 hours all 5 opened up:) that’s a big hooray form me 👍🏻👌🏻 and so I planted them all. Two have not come through yet and I think they won’t seeing that the other three all came through strong on the same day. I have been propagating on my windowsill for a few days and then taking them outside in my plastic tunnel for the midday sun! They are doing quite well so far:) I can’t wait to see how they come along! I know most people say not to transplant autos but I don’t have the space to have a load of big pots in my house to propogate the seeds.

So this week I’ve seen a nice bit of growth in all three girls. I can see the runt of the litter and the strongest! So I’ve chosen the one I will enter into the competition and the others will go to a good home :) I’ll try to give an update on those also. At the end of this week I will be transplanting them to their final pots. I know most people disagree with transplanting autos but it just wasn’t feasible to move big pots in and out of the house all the time. Looking forward to some more good weather :)

:) this week has been great, I thought my prize winning baby would have a bit of stunted growth as she has now moved outside permanently and been bedded into her new home. Instead we’ve been blessed with scorching sun!! I fed her a little bit of biobizz bioheaven to help with any issues she may have had. If the growth continues and she gets to a nice size sometime next week I will give her some fish mix. Bless jah!

This week I have had a lot of height growth, I haven’t started LST this girl yet and I’m wondering if I will at all. Yes tips and tricks do yield better but sometimes I like to see the natural look of a plant in all it’s glory! With a nice big Cola and lovely side branches. The typical Christmas tree. Also it’s how Mother Nature intended. And as this is an organic grow. Let’s see what organic can do? I gave her a drink this morning and she gobbled it up , a whole litre. For a little girls that’s quite a lot. It was Just plain rain water for today/this week :)

This week she has got BIG! A lovely amount of growth mainly in height but the side branches are now establishing! This looks like a lovely plant with good genetics, some nice thick lushious green Indica style leads showing! I haven’t fed her a thing and so I think the ‘monster bud mix’ along with the soil has plenty of organic food for her. As I said before I won’t be LST or using any tips and tricks on this girl I do enjoy watching the natural process of a plant and seeing what she can do all by herself. She has come along way in just a short time. Slightly worried about how tall this one could get if it doesn’t go into flowering soon🤔 Have fed her three times this week as the sun has been boiling!!

So this week was the first week of flowering! 😊 lovely. She has stretched just a little bit and will expect some further stretching. Quite glad of this as my green house is quite short. Weather has been colder and slightly damper this week so she probably hasn’t been at optimal conditions. Gave her Some extra vegetation and bloom to help through this transitions. Also added a nice scoop of BatGuano to ensure she has enough P in the near future.

So I’m getting a little worried about this one, there has been no development in terms of buds! She showed her sex about 3/4 weeks ago, and is continuing to stretch. Seems as though the ‘auto’ part in this girl is coming fused. I have pictures If her counter parts and sisters who have done well in flowering. Smaller pot size but buds are doing good. Super hot this week so covering them over during the day. And I think some extra water will do them good also. I’m going to give this girl one more week and if there are no improvements in buds I am going to call it a day. It’s just getting VERY tall. Never had this issue before so will throw a question out to those who might know some more

Soo I’m not holding my breath but it actually seems like she’s just gone into flowering ! Properly! I had the chop the top of the main stem :(it just got too big for the little greenhouse I have. Maybe that’s what pushed her to flower. Who knows 🤷‍♂️ Outside temp is perfect. Did some defoliation and extra lst on her so that there is light throughout.

Yes she did it! She finally has kicked herself into flowering! The stretching has most definitely stopped! As you can see I had to TOP the main cola, did this last week but I think it has done wonders for the other branches even this late into her life. Bud sites are popping up all over the place and resin production is great! Outside weather has been shit this week with a lot of rain and cold! Hopefully the coming weeks will be better! Smell is starting to arouse my nostrils when I do my daily checks:) Pungeant cheese is coming from them lovely! Had some feedback from her sisters and they are doing fantastic. Gave her a light flush this week as I like to Flush between the veg and flower stage right after stretch! Hopefully this will work well and she will increase buds as time goes on. Yippppeee she wasn’t a dud!!

Buds are touching the top of my tiny green house! I will have to tie them down a little more as they will just get moldy minging and useless that way! Buds sites are growing fast and looking nice! Some resin production also. This is my favourite time of flowering where you can see the biggest development. Heavy feeding at the moment. But I think she’s going to need it! So hard taking good pics as she is so gangly!! And my other plants are in the way

I haven’t been able to update due to home conditions but over the last few weeks she has veen Doing really well! I’ve fed her water alone. For a few weeks and today was the chop!! Seems to have a nice crop, smells beautiful and skunky ! I decided to dry trim half and wet trim the other half hopefully I’ll be able to tell the difference in taste. Always heard wet trim gives a better terpene profile. We will see! She has struggled over the las tv week or so with humidity and with the leafs starting to change /loose their colour I decided it was time.

This was a lovely and way to grow strain. Quite good mold resistance .. It got slightly taller than I expected, and so didn’t fit in my small green house. As a result I had to trim the top bud but it definitely distributed the Bud growth more evenly.. as a result I had a nice crop with some lovely buds. Great taste. Dried to about 65 Humidity .👌🏻 I love cheese and this is definitely something I would grow again
