π§π¦ start of Week 9: D 57
Couldnβt be happier with how the outdoor autos have turned out up til this point. Pretty trouble free - water as needed and a light feed of bloom nutes once per week.
π§ The Cheese has an impressive mid section and I canβt wait to see how she ends up. Got a bit of a scare today - a big storm rolled through and I found her almost folded over in half. Luckily it was the weight of the rain water on her buds that was dragging her down - no snapped stem. π I ended up putting a good sized bamboo stake in her pot to secure her to - I just hope I didnβt do too much damage to her roots putting that stake in π€
π¦ Great White Shark has a dank citrusy smell and is getting close to harvest: 1-2 weeks. Sheβs a small but mighty little auto, no issues at all.
Thanks for checking in βοΈ
When I set up the pots for my outdoor grow I filled them about 1" below the top of the container. Since then, the soil mix has settled to the point where it is now about 4" below the rim of the pot. Do I need to be concerned? Should I be topping it off?
You can if you want. You say it's a 7 gallon pot so you probably have 4.5-5 gallons of soil. That is plenty for an auto. If you want to top it up do it when she flips to flower. Add 1.5-2 inches of pre moisten soil with the start of flower nutes and give a lite feeding.
Noticed some holes and some spotting on a few leaves. Initial thought was spider mites, but based on pics not sure if that's the case. Also thought it could be areas where water beads were on the leaves and burned through (as the holes go). Not sure about spots. Thoughts?
I don't know if I'd say spider mites, but something is definitely taking a nibble. Could be Caterpillar type crawlers, earwigs etc. Many will.just eat and move on. You could try a neem oil application and just keep examining the leaves top and bottom to watch for any eggs.
Popping some of them UK genetics. Nice !! You will not regret cheese is a dank strain :) Good luck and try and keep them birdies away. They ruined my last outdoor attempt the little buggers :)
@TheUk420Show, They were fine but not exceptional. Cheese was my first grow ever - over a year ago now - and it was also the first time I had ever smelled/tasted Cheese (surprising, cuz I've tried a lot of strains). Although the Cheese fragrance was certainly there, it was much less pungent and tasty than I expected it would be. I've since had opportunity to smoke Cheese strains from other breeders which were far superior. More stank. More dank.
@TheUk420Show, She's certainly not the stinkiest Cheese I've encountered. It's a nice smoke but I think if I would try a different breeder the next time I grow Cheese.
@@motaman311, Thanks! I'll have one going for sure - one of the seeds I germinated doesn't seem to want to shake its helmet shell and may end up being a dud. We'll see. π€
Very nice man! Can't go wrong with some nice aesthetics in the garden π. 128g off of an auto is very impressive and that is attributed to being grown outside with all that oxygen - even with giving it nutrients, nature and the sun ran this ruderalis cultivar quite nicely my friend - good job! πβ
@CannaScuzzyB, Thanks buddy! I was more than pleased with the return from the Cheese. I especially enjoyed how little effort it took compared to growing indoors - although I do love the challenges of indoor growing (most of the time) π
@@motaman311, I have not had GWS before but am very excited to try it. I actually ended up with the seed only because my buddy busted up his sonβs bedroom closet grow - he confiscated all his gear and gave me the seed πΌ
It would be interesting to compare an indoor (at 20-24 hours light) and outdoor (16+ hours/day at June solstice -and of course declining as Fall approaches- at the 49th parallel and less daily sun as you head south.) I'm not in a good location for outdoor. High mountains, no sun. Wouldn't be a fair comparison.
@@motaman311, Thanks Scuzz. Ya, I really wanted to try my hand at an outdoor grow. My wife, however, was not too keen on the idea at first - cannabis plants did not factor into her yard plan. Happily, we came to a consensus. π
They would revoke my ghetto pass if I didn't comment on this. Kudos for getting the UK founded Cheese strain. I'm sure you have smoked it before but I love the heavy scent of cheese its smells almost as potent as the stardawg strain. Gl with this Little Chavette, She will do you proud I'm sure.
@TheUk420Show, Geez, I'd hate to see your ghetto pass revoked π Your are hilarious, my friend. Cheese was my first ever grow and I'm hoping I can make a better go of it this time around -I never really achieved the heavy cheese smell that I know it can have. I hope this girl stinks up the neighbourhood. π¬π§π§
