OSS Cheese XXL ╰⊰🔹Started 03.10.24🔹╰⊰ 🌾 - Popped The Seeds On 03.10.24 🌞 - Environment - 80F / 65% RH 🌾 - Training - Defoliating the buds as needed, a little at a time; they should be pretty clean by the time harvest comes. ⚱️ - 2-Gallon 📊6.2 PH 💧 - Feeding - Using Horti Late Bloom 0-24-26, Cal 12-0-0 🌞 - Mars Hydro FC-4800 🕷️ - IPM - CannControl from Mammoth and Mosquito Bits ╰⊰🔹WEEKLY REPORT🔹╰⊰ 📝 Notes - This ends the two weeks of using the High Fortified P&K of the Horti-Late Bloom 0-24-26; you will be watering with H20 PHed to 6.2; when growing this strain, you are going to want to pull the branches down so buds at the nodes have plenty of airflow, stay on top of the defoliation, as this cultivar appears to be a leafy one, with that said these girls are worth growing the terpenes are strong with a foul citrus, definitely a likable skunk smell! 🗓️06.08.24 Feeding 2x Dail with Horti Cal and Horti Late Bloom 🗓️06.09.24 Feeding 2x Dail with Horti Cal and Horti Late Bloom 🗓️06.10.24 Feeding 2x Dail with Horti Cal and Horti Late Bloom 🗓️06.11.24 Feeding 2x Dail with Horti Cal and Horti Late Bloom 🗓️06.12.24 Feeding 2x Dail with Horti Cal and Horti Late Bloom 🗓️06.13.24 Feeding 2x Dail with Horti Cal and Horti Late Bloom 🗓️06.14.24 Feeding 2x Dail with Horti Cal and Horti Late Bloom 📝Fertigation injects fertilizers into an irrigation system to supply dissolved nutrients and water to crops. ╰⊰🔹STRAIN INFO🔹⊱╮ Cheese XXL cannabis seeds are a unique blend of Afghan Kush x Super Skunk, producing the most pungent dank weed. Cheese XXL is the third commercially available edition released by Original Sensible using and developing these Afghan and Skunk genetics. The first release of these genetics was their Skunk Afghani. The second improved version was Stinkin' Bishop, which had an enhanced and more potent THC content and was more intense in terms of smell. The third and improved release on a similar theme is this Cheese XXL, which has a similar THC content but an enhanced heavier yield. The smoke is incredible, with an outstanding flavor of pungent skunk and spicy, extra strong mature cheese created by the dominant terpene myrcene with its earthy solid scent accompanied by caryophyllene and pinene, which combine to create a peppery acrid cheesy odor. THC levels are exceptionally high in this Cheese strain, and the effect is well-balanced, developing mental and body relaxation with a remarkable alleviation of stress and depression. The intense solid aroma starts early in the flowering period; if you're growing Cheese XXL indoors, you'll need plenty of ventilation to disperse these babies' stinky "road kill" aroma! Cheese XXL is a cheese strain suited to indoor setups and thrives outdoors well. These feminized marijuana seeds are incredibly resistant to mold and disease and produce a substantial harvest that professional and amateur growers can quickly achieve. These Cheese weed seeds are outstanding. Break open the buds ready for use, and you'll see why the stench will make your eyes water! Cheese XXL from Original Sensible Seeds is a great choice to break into the commercial market of growing cannabis, so if you're looking to buy something special with extreme yield, potency, and flavor, Cheese XXL cannabis seeds are simply the best choice.

27/02: the plants that looked wilted in the previous week have come back to life as they are being fed 1 litre of water now - it was an underwatering issue. all plants including the ones that were lagging behind have exploded with their stigmas and there are plenty of bud sites throughout. humidity is still a bit of an issue though I am installing an industrial sized dehumidifier into the grow tent as of next week. again there is some over crowding though I do not want to stress the plants by taking too many leaves at this stage. will give it at least another week before another trim. plants are on average around 30 inches high. reacting well to the nutes and all is going well.

Seed was put in a glass of water on the 2nd of January 20:00 (8PM). Around 15h later it sunk to the bottom and I transferred it to a wet paper towel inside a zip. Around 51h later (so ~36h inside zip) the seed had not yet opened. I am a little worried, but at the same time not because I've looked up what the pro's say and some of them don't even look at the seed until after the seed has spent at least 48h inside the paper towel. I will be patient and wait for the seed to open. After the seed has opened I will be even more patient and let the root grow for a bit. I have grown 2 of these plants in my lifetime and first time was really good, second time was very bad, and the second time I planted it when the root was ~1mm long. I will not rush things this time. I will also be careful to not let the root grow too long. If I'll have it my way, then I'll be planting this baby tomorrow evening, so in a bit less than 24h from now. If I have to reschedule then it will probably be planted on the 6th of January. Worst case scenario: We have to restart with a new seed. Bless you. Update 5 Jan 2022 17:29 (05:29 PM): We have a root! The seed has opened ever so slightly and the root has grown more and more during today. I want the root to grow a tiny bit longer before I plant it. I will take another look before bedtime. Update 5 Jan 2022 20:43 (08:43 PM): Root has not grown much since the last picture, will plant tomorrow. Update 6 Jan 2022 10:05 (10:05 AM): Will plant later. Root is too short. Update 6 Jan 2022 15:00 (03:00 PM): Root is still shorter than I had in mind but my patience has ran out and I think it is still a fine length for the seed to do really good. I also have very good soil for her with claimed great amount of nutrients for seedlings. When it gets large enough I will transplant her to a 11L pot. The 11L pot has been filled with more than 11L soil. Probably around 15L. By the way, the plant has a name, her name is "Satan" but is referred to as a "she". Update 12 Jan 2022 18:00 (06:00 PM): We have a sprout! I saw the sprout some hours ago. I am sure that I planted the seed quite perfectly in the middle. However, the sprout happened very much to the side. I suspect that there was something in the soil that might blocked the sprout. So far it looks like we planted Satan on the 6th of January and we got a sprout on the 12th. I will consider Satan to be in germination stage until it grows a little more. Then I will treat it like she's in the vegetative phase. ----------------------------- SUMMARY: Day 1-21 in Satans life has been so wonderful. Not a minute goes by without me feeling euphoric about her. Every day when I wake up I go to the grow-room and tell her good morning. I hold her largest leaf between my thumb and index-fingers to hold leaf (hold hand) and we just hold leaf together for a few seconds while I admire her beauty. She is so absolutely gorgeous and kind and she is also very happy with her environment. I already have another plant in another grow-room which also is a Northern Lights and I have kept a diary of her as well, just not on growdiaries.com (everything is kept in a Word-document). This other plant is called Kim, named after Kim Jong-Un. Kim and her diary is going to be utilized as a "roadmap" for Satan, so I should know what to expect and when to expect it. I also did a few mistakes with Kim, such as water too much or let her grow with way too much nitrogen in the air. Satan will instead be the best grow I have ever done - hopefully. I thank you all for reading and joining me on this adventure. Kim and Satan says hello!

I don't know what's wrong with her, but she's suffering, I don't give her any nutrients anymore, only pure 6.3 ph water. Although the leaves are suffering, the flowers are really maturing well, I think she has about two weeks left until the finish, the smell it gives off is fabulous!!!! I can't wait to taste it, it's really very resinous, I have no doubt that it will be amazing:) good luck to everyone.:)

-------------------------------------------- ~DUTCH PASSION OUTLAW AMNESIA~ -------------------------------------------- Outlaw Amnesia is a top quality old-school Amnesia Haze dominant Sativa that will appeal to both beginners and connoisseur growers alike. She is 80/20 Sativa/Indica with around 20% THC and is a cross of our Super Haze with a very special clone of Amnesia. The high is powerful and fast with a clear uplifting sativa high and a strong Haze accent. The taste is fresh, sour, strong and old-school Hazy. Outlaw will stretch more than most, she can triple in height during bloom, and grows well with the SCROG method. Although she can be harvested as early as 9 weeks, a full 12 week flower period may be required for best taste, yield and high. She grows well in all grow mediums with perhaps the best yields in hydro where yields of up to 500g/m2 are possible, classifying this as a high production variety. *description credit to Dutch Passion OUTLAW AMNESIA (DUTCH PASSION) FEMINIZED DATA SHEET Breeder: Dutch Passion Genetics: 20% Indica / 80% Sativa Parents: Super Haze x Amnesia Flowering Time: 11-12 weeks THC: 20% Yield (Indoor): 450-500 gr/m² Height (Indoor): 50cm Available as: Feminized seeds Flowering Type: Photoperiod Sex: Feminized *Specified by breeder when grown under ideal circumstances -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE SETUP: ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with de-chlorinated water with SuperThrive added then ph'd to 6.0 @ 80℉ ~Grown 100% organic in 10g fabric pots with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium amended with 2tbs/g of Down To Earth 4-4-4 / 2 cups/g of Earthworm Castings / 1tbs/g of Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4, 1tbs/g of Dr. Earth Bat Guano, 3/4 cup of Down To Earth Azomite and 1 tsp/g Down To Earth Fish Bone Meal. ~24hr light cycle during Germination / 19/5 light cycle for Vegetation and 12/12 for Flower ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and weekly Compost Tea's. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ WEEKLY UPDATES: 9/13- With approx. 10 weeks of growth behind her now she's going into her 5th week of flower now and let me tell you the pictures don't do her justice... This is one phenomenal cultivar! 😍 She was given Compost Tea yesterday and today was still fairly heavy so I skipped watering and just removed a few leaves to maintain light penetration, turned her pot and sat and chatted with her awhile! 9/15- Well she really must have liked that last batch of Compost Tea as she looks exceptionally vibrant today! She's continuing on her mission of stacking her flowers, which are developing beautifully and have a delicious earthy/hashy aroma to them right now. I did not water yesterday, so today I watered with 1.5g of straight de-chlorinated water that was ph'd to 6.5 @ 72℉ and rotated her pot... Damn she is looking great! 🤩💖 9/17- Yesterday I top dressed her with 1/2 cup of Down To Earth Bio-Fish then watered it in with 1.5g of straight de-chlorinated water that was ph'd to 6.5 @ 72℉. Her flowering is continuing beautifully and she's smelling stronger every day it seems! I'm staying on top of tucking leaves blocking light and turning her pot daily as well. 9/19- Five weeks of flower on the books! We're almost halfway there now, she's stacking her flowers tightly going into Week Six and she's looking phenomenal! 🤩 When I watered her today I added 1 tbsp/g each of Kelp Extract and Fish Emulsion (both liquid) to the 1.5g of straight de-chlorinated water she received, which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 74℉. ~Thanks for stopping in! Things should be getting a lot more interesting in the coming weeks...Stay lifted and be Blessed! 😎🙏~

WEEK 8/5F // D50/29F - D56/35F Die Guava hat es richtig eilig. Von allen Ladys die zusammen stehen ist sie am weitesten vorraus. Die Calyxen fangen an langsam anzuschwellen. Auch der Geruch wird immer süßer. Die eine oder andere Hummel und Biene verirrt sich regelmäßig in den Blüten💚. Die Trichomproduktion ist auch im vollen Gange. Die 38°C Spitze in dieser Woche hat die gute auch ohne Probleme überstanden. Es brauchte nur morgens 1L und dann Mittags nochmal 800ml. Ich schätze mal das die Zeit bis zur Ernte bei ca 2-3 maximal 4 Wochen liegt. Mitte nächster Woche werden also die nächsten Ladys gestartet, so das wenn geerntet wird die neuen Ladys aus dem Mini-Gewächshaus raus kommen und hoffentlich mit beginnender Blüte den Platz der geernteten Ladys einnehmen können und so auch noch fertig werden bevor die unangenehmen Temperaturen losgehen. Gegossen wurde an Tag 50/29F, Tag51/30F, Tag52/31F, Tag53/32F, Tag54/33F, Tag55/34F und an Tag56/35F. An den Tagen gab es jeweils ca 1L-1.2L. Bei jedem zweiten Gießen wurde gedüngt. BioEnhancer gab es an Tag55/34F. Der Topf wird vor dem gießen leicht angehoben um zu abzuschätzen wie viel die Dame benötigt. Temperatur Tag: 22-38°C Nacht: 13-19°C Höhe 84cm

The temps been holding strong live in a cold climate very tuff before keeping warm at night. Day time temp has been 73-78F humidity at day 43-55% VPN 1.64kpa.

Smells like Rubber bands coated in a berry sugar or berry sryup very interesting on the nose! Harvested day 67 ish maybe a couple more hard ot tell outdoor Split the harvest into drying buds and some to made into fresh frozen hash. i can dry weigh the fresh frozen buds and put that weight in the wet section and i will put the to smoke buds in the dry weight section so total between the two will be the whole plant Drying was a big mishap got condensation around day 10 of drying and it caused some mold 🤦‍♂️ right around the time i was going to cure! Found a peroxide soak that ill post butt it seemed to take off all the mold without affecting tricomb heads! Had to re dry for another week afterward i feel like the re dry maybe messed with the terps because it definitely never got the smell back like i thought but who knows slmost 3 weeks into cure coukd get better but doubt it

Week 11 - Day 1 : Pinched branches from subject 1 and 2. As seen in the videos uploaded. Week 11 - Day 2 : Changed water schedule to water-water-feed, watering my plants with 4 Liters per plant every 3th day. Pinched branches recovered successfully. Week 11 - Day 3 : Pinched lower branches of subject 1, take a good look and tell me what you think! Week 11 - Day 4 : Pinches branches of subjects 2 and 3, take a good look and tell me what you think! Week 11 - Day 5 : Pinches branches of subject 1, take a good look and tell me what you think, had my first harvest of ladybugs in the garden and released them on my plants, noticed that I have very little spider mites on my plants. Posted week 1 to 9 on my diary. Week 11 - Day 6 : Woke up to subject 5 being damaged, What could have caused this? Too heavy branches? Maybe an animal that accidentally broke the branch and took off. Week 11 - Day 7 : Pinches branches of subject 3, take a good look and tell me what you think!

Day 8 leaves a little burnt from the temp being slightly too high but increased airflow has solved the issue and newer leaves look healthy. Will do some LST at the end of this week. Day 9 there's a few spots on the newer leaves either from the heat or maybe a bit of nute burn from the all mix. Either way it's doing well and seems to have carried on with its none stop growth. Got a small single plant tent on the way as the chest of drawers won't be good for much longer so that should definitely solve the heat issue while also being much more reflective. Day 10 shot up again overnight. The biobizz must definitely be doing it's thing now as the stalk has doubled in thickness and there's been plenty of new leaf growth. I have also been doing a few light pre bends to prepare the plant for the first LST in a few days time. Day 11 the tent has arrived so I've put it together. Already looking loads better. The plant itself has sprung a lot of new growth overnight so hopefully now with better reflected light and less heat it should thrive. Day 12 Biobizz sample pack arrived today so I have mixed 1ml Bio-grow with 1L water and fed the plant approx 2/3 of the mix due to the pot being pretty dry throughout. I was overwatering so left it for a few days until adequately dry but not overly. Waiting on advice from Fastbuds but will not feed again until next week anyway. I have also lifted the light up to 60cm from the top of the plant to prevent any potential light burn. Day 13 plant looks good. Still minor curling on some of the leaves but newer leaves look healthy. Spoke to Fastbuds on Instagram and I have fed too much as I should have started with 0.3ml to a litre so will keep an eye out for signs of toxicity. Day 14 I think the overfeeding is showing but not drastically. There's a few spots on the leaves but not anything to worry about. I'll just monitor it over the next few days.

- Week 7 - ----- Day 43 ----- Fed 1150ppm @ 6.4ph 23 Liters. Hard to get above 1200 ppm now. More molasses being used, maximum Koolbloom dry powder as well. Tropicanna Glookies is starting to turn purple. Wedding Cake is fattening up FAST More photos later this afternoon mid light cycle. *Update* Big bulk phase is 100% on right now. Wedding Cake is thicker than a tall can of beer in 4-5 nugs easily. Tropicanna Glookies is sweating out trichomes and getting super sticky while slowly turning purple Great things await for these 2 ladies over the next 20 days. *Update* 2 close up shots of some purpling on the Tropicanna Glookies. ----- Day 44 ----- Here's a video. slow easy day of nothing ----- Day 45 ----- I see a tiny bit of yellowing at edges, nothing serious. I don't have to feed every 2 days now anyways its slowed to 3. I top off the ones near turgor pressure loss levels ( I check my whole hand down side of pot for moisture now) with tap water when needed today. Tomorrow will be feeding ~1000ppm most likely due to using Diamond Nectar chelating nutrients with large amounts of blackstrap molasses when combined and left in the reservoir before use. This seems to drop the detectable ppm even though it retains a high level of nutrient content... with Cal/mag (1-0-0) and KoolBloom Powder which is like a 0-30-40 its wildly powerful. Back right Tropicanna smells like Pineapple Sour Patch Kids without the sour. Its insane. I wish I had smell o' vision for you folks right now. Wedding Cake is like sugary sweet but weed esque... earthy esque type of thing. Not the Tropicanna... Shits fruity like kool-aid. Nugs are getting humongous and its pretty fun to watch it fill in, I had a low level anxiety of it never "Filling" in... but yea it's day 45 and look at Big Bertha... nearly dwarfing my fat ass arm... wild shit. Feel like these ladies have at least another 14~ days on the lower end. Wedding Cake should finish a week after Tropicanna... Trying to grab Wedding Cake "indica" tendencies and max them by going for 40-50% amber, 60-50% cloudy trichomes with under 2% (like literally 1-3 clear per 60X magnifying pic) clear trichomes. Tropicanna only 20% ish amber until clear is only about 20% of trichome and cloudy makes up roughly 60% of total trichome finishing... ----- Day 46 ----- Easy day Fed 1050ppm @ 6.4ph 13 Liters only. I want the root zones to dry out more and quicker, less chance of mold and other root rot issues. Cutting watering/feeding in half now but will be feeding prob twice as much. Buds are fattening FAST and are turning purple. Looks like I got the purple pheno Wedding Cake. Woot. ----- Day 47 ----- Easy day Buds are gettin freaky. Really poppin out now. It's quite awesome to see. **Update** *** HEIGHT CHANGE EXPLAINED! *** Took the Tropicanna's off the pot risers I DIY'd and brought them to the floor. Gives light in between the 2 plants at the side and also helps remove any light burn on the tropicanna, as I have been noticing a very slight tinting of too much light in the central part of the tent. Plants look incredible, tiny bit of tip burn but im not too worried, I'm feeding 1000-1200 ppm at the moment. Speaking of which, fed some tap water, 500ml each, they were dry enough to warrant a turgor pressure loss top up. Feeding tomorrow. Enjoy some lights off shots. ----- Day 48 ----- Fed @ 1150ppm 6.4ph 13L Easy peasy lemon squeezy, here's a new video for you guys n gals. 14~ days to go. ----- Day 49 ----- They're getting super thirsty again. woke up dry. gave 500ml tap water each plant. Will do the same this evening. Tomorrow feeding going to go to 16 Liters instead of 13 Liters. I'm lazy and don't want to water daily. Plants look phenomenal, buds are getting massive. The Wedding Cake on the left is throwing out paintbrushes thick of pistils, it's quite insane. Gonna be a hell of a plant around day 63!!! Day 53 i'll start checkin trichomes and start posting x20-x60 shots.
