I'm very excited to finally be growing this strain. Cheese is one of my all time favorite strains. I am impressed as I originally bought these on a 420 sale over a year ago and they were super fast to sprout and so far the growth has been pretty vigorous. These are a late addition to my outdoor garden this year. I only popped the seeds less than two weeks ago. I'm very excited to see how these plants do outdoors. My small backyard doesnt get ideal sun conditions but it should be enough to keep them happy. Fingers crossed! Also it's been a very wet start to my west coast Canadian summer so let's hope that changes soon. I have two plants, their names are itchy and scratchy!
This week has gone ok. Some decent growth off of these lil guys. Weather has still be pretty rainy here so they havnt got as much Sun as I would like but overall they are doing good. I've decided I'm probably gonna sacrifice the smaller plant (itchy) and make it go Hermie in flower so I can get pollen from it so I can breed it with my chocolope and my bubba. Just a lil experiment cuz I find cannabis breeding fascinating!
Another relatively smooth week. More rainy summer days, although the last couple days have finally been sunny and beautiful. I gave both plants their first topping a couple days ago at the fifth nodes.
Update: I don't want to sacrifice itchy to turn into a male to collect pollen so I germinated another seed. My last cheese seed. Hopefully it pops and I can get a nice little plant out of it that I don't feel bad sacrificing itchy who I'm already attatched to! If it goes well I will use the colloidal silver method to create male pollen sacks on this fem plant! This plant will also not get named 😂
Well this week I have transplanted the two plants into 5 gallon fabric pots. I have made my own makeshift super soil by mixing peat moss, fish soil, mushroom compost, worm castings and pearlite and then amending that with organic Gaia Green all purpose 4/4/4 fertilizer
I also made a light compost tea for after the transplant. It had Sea kelp liquid, molasses and worm castings and I let it brew up for 36 hours.
The plants look happy and I am happy that they are starting to bush out now! The weather is also nicer and more consistent now!
Really good week. It's been beautiful hot and lovely. I gave the girls a nice tea I brewed this, using seaweed extract, molasses and worm castings. They have gotten a lot taller and are starting to bush out now, especially scratchy. Itchy is a lil more lanky though.
Another week of good growth. Both plants are starting to bush out nicely. Itchy is now the bigger plant and they are both looking healthy and happy. Gave them another tea yesterday and next week they will be getting a top dressing of Gaia Green organic flowering dry amendments.
Another great week. There was two really rainy days but I think the plants loved it as they shot up another 6 inches or so. I can tell we are about to enter flower. Days are getting shorter. Plants have bushed out nicely and I fill like we are about to enter stretch and the first week of flower. Topped dressed the soil with Gaia Green organic 2-8-4 Bloom dry amendments. Also fed the plants another tea today! Oh also put tomatoes cages around the plant as I never really gave it much of a chance to get thick and strong before flower because I started them so late.
An explosive growth week for sure. These gals have grown like a foot. We are fully in stretch right now and these gals are looking beautiful. Did a bit of light defoliating and lollipops of the lower and inner branches.
Good week again. Less upward growth. Now the bud sites are starting to form. Itchy had one cola getting too tall so I did a light bend on it. It's taken a couple days but it's starting to recover. Also gave the plants a light tea of just seaweed juice and molasses. Was seeing a nasty looking deficiency: brown spots on some older leaves mainly near the veins. I think it's a magnesium deficiency so I got some calmag but I'm sad cuz now they won't be 100%organic.
Another decent week except the deficiency issue is still happening. I've been feeding cal-mag. Since there was such a massive amount of growth in the last few weeks I'm thinking the issue may be that it's eaten all its nutrients so I top crossed her with more Gaia Green 2-8-4 this morning. My two cheese plants seem to be the only ones affected!
Defoliated this week. Also doing a bit of supercooling as these gals are too tall. Almost over the fence now.they are taking longer to really start flowering than my other plans that's for sure. Lol.
Wow these gals are slow to flower. Glad I didn't grow them inside because of the height but I'm worried they will take too long in my climate outside. Ugh! Finally seeing pistils and flowers forming! Finally!
