Lemon Cheese gave me plenty of highs and lows for sure. I was set to score it a bit lower, until I finally tried the big girl and she was immediately upgraded. I give Lemon Cheese 8/10 because... Seeds - 2 for 2 which germed easily and grew nice and evenly. Grow - I got 2 very different plants. One short and compact, finished in 16 weeks and gave me 3 and 3/4 ounces. The other plant was way biggerand took 23 weeks. It gave me just short of 6 ounces. Vast differences in smell, grow, taste and quality. The big sativa girl is markedly better than the small one. Got a bit of mould in the end, but after the rain we had, almost all growers I knew got it too, so give a pass there. Buds - Pretty nice, not real dense but plenty of resin on the big one. Solid yield too. Smoke varies so much. The little one is nice and smooth, and distinctly lemon tasting. The big girl, not so much lemon, but some beautiful earthy cream flavour and much more kick! If you decide to grow this one outdoor, you definitely want the most sativa one, but prepare for a looong grow!

I can’t complain about anything so far using BIOCANNA. Boost is the best, but pricey and this big girl ate heaps of it!

This was so interesting, in that it was my longest and biggest grow by far. I learned so much about various different stages and how to be patient over such a long grow. For me the lemon cheese is really good, but I also got an average smaller pheno as well, so you need to plant a few to find the diamond. Thanks for all the support along the way my GD mates 🍻🍻🍻

Big wide bush! She is spreading. Great work. Silica additive and Mycorrhiza helps with the heat with the heat. Silica makes plants stronger and lose less water. Mycorrhiza increase plant capacity to pull in more water. Another one is humic acid. It improves water retention in dense tight soil. These three are my heat care kit.

@Shooey, at the moment it costs me 22c a week to replenish my reservoir with the bacteria. I got nothing to compare the roots against, but for newbie, even i i can tell a massive healthy root ball thats loving life

@Shooey, check out nimbin nutrients for the white rhino Mycorrhiza bacteria. $135 for 600g. Use 1g per 10L. Awesome value

Hope you are still in the bosses good book mate. 😀😀😀 This Lemon Cheese is so big. Soon, the plant will smell. My boss is pouting every day with only two plants in full bloom. 😀😀😁😁😁

@Med_in_Tropic, 😆 lucky you! Yes you never know what in laws you are gonna get! Mine are cool, Japanese, but they still know what it is i think. Honestly i am sick and tired of hiding another life. I just want to be honest and tell everyone this is my love and passion, and i dont wanna be judged for it. I think its time to be accepted and not considered criminals. In AUS, people glorify alcohol abuse like how many drinks you can have means how tough you are. But its me whi is doing wrong??? Uninformed hypocrites!!!😠😠

@Shooey, my opiniated in law's visited us this holiday. They came and admire my flower trees, house color scheme. And they did not notice my ganja patches at all. To them green's are the plants. All plants are the same. Beside, nobody know what this eccentric bloke does. 😀😀😀😀😀 If asked, I'll them them these are maple leaves spinach. 😁

@Med_in_Tropic, it's a battle mate for sure. I think she is mostly worried if friends come over and see the backyard. In future i will need to be more stealthy and keep em smaller... ☺️

Flower show started. I love the globe structure. You sculpted her really well. Look like she will put up heavy nugs and will use support.
Shooey
Shooeycommented4 years ago
@Med_in_Tropic, thanks med. it looks like the support will be just right. I’m really proud of it to be honest. I’ve seen different scrogs, trellis and chicken wire ideas but none like this. I had this idea to make a 360 degree scrog, and enclose the plant, with the wire thick enough to support long buds as well as keep them nice and even. Also I can keep it for future grows! Cheers

The Francos LC is looking good mate!!!! I reckon it would do well in an even bigger pot maybe 75L Keep up the good work I have these seeds and I may need to get past my bad experience with the wonder pie so I can try some too 👍

@Shooey, yeah it's an unfortunate thing about the ridiculous laws we have to live under. Can make for some unnecessary anxiety. Great to see you making the most of it 🌲🍁😊

@Hemp4humanity, thanks mate! I had to improvise with the supports here and tied down early on otherwise it would be too hard to hide from the neighbors😆 but that's life when growing in a city... cheers Hemp 👍🏼

This past three weeks of s just “transitioning”. Likely to take almost a couple more months for your Sativa lady.

Your girls are coming along beautifully. Getting close to full flower too. The shortening daylength should get them moving along soon. Im also dropping the N and upping the P and K in my weekly fertilizer. Hope your getting some nice sun this week 🍁🌲👍

Stakes should be enough to keep them from breaking in the wind? Even 25-liters pot is heavy when wet. In future years you will have 100-liters pot because there won’t be any moving at all 😀😀😀😀😀😭

I hear you about popping a few seeds and keep only the best ine. Time is the dearest resource.
Shooey
Shooeycommented4 years ago
@Med_in_Tropic, I never thought of it like that,, makes sense though. I will try clones at some stage mate for sure, at the moment I can’t have any more than a couple at a time here, and I have all these other strains I want to try too!
Med_in_Tropic
Med_in_Tropiccommented4 years ago
I think stable strains are too inbred. I rather have a strong one and then clone it a few rounds. Actually mate, @Shooey, this would be a good time to take a few cuttings to clone.

@Med_in_Tropic, it does seem like GHS cops a fair bit of bad publicity from growers necause of this "pheno hunting". Now i see what they mean. I dont mind variation but i can see how some guys looking for a classic might get a bit pissed off

@Epokwan, thank you my bro. It is a good tip, the humidity is like i have never felt before. I have to give lemon cheese its dues, as it has handled a tough outdoor season well.

@Epokwan, cheers Epok... lets hope so mate. As you know, plenty can go wrong between now and then still. So far so good though 👍🏽
