A lesson learned on this grow is that I need to at least double the pot size to finish the grow with organic soil. I have loved this grow so far and it has been my most successful and I will continue to use this method in the future.
I’ve had the plants in their final pots since half way through the veg. cycle and they are running out of juice in a three gallon pot half way through the flower cycle. I know the majority of people who grow this way want it to run out of nutrients by the end of the flower cycle and that may be right. I my mind though this is the time when I want the plants to have as many nutrients as they need to fill out the buds to their max and to produce as much resin as possible.
It doesn’t make sense to me that the plant should be showing very clear signs of a nitrogen deficiency, many yellowing and dropping of leaves, at a time when it needs to be the most productive. Deficiency signs means to me that the plant is starving for nutrients. Therefore I’ve decided to give them all three doses of Dyna Gro Foliage Pro at a rate that Dyna Gro recommends for nutrients deficient plants of one teaspoon per gallon. After that I will do a maintenance dose of a quarter teaspoon per gallon and water only about two weeks before harvest.
Next grow all plants will be in a minimum of 7 gallon pots of organic soil and long flowering sativas in maybe 10 gallon or larger pots.

Wanted to turn on as many people as possible to Northern Scrogger on YouTube. He has a great nine part series called Scrog School that is excellent. I’m copying his style in the future. This is an age restricted video on YouTube because it’s mj related but head on over there any watch him get tremendous yields.

Day 36 of flower. First two pics. are Blue Cheese. The Blue Cheese has matured faster than the Cheese and currently has quite a bit more resin. Then a couple Cheese photos. Then a group shot with my heavily supercropped Ace Seeds Panama/ Honduras fem. in the front. Then a couple of photos of the Skunkman crosses.

A young, untrained Blue Cheese from clone. It’s a nice plant. I love the look of the Christmas tree type plant. It’s very healthy looking and the buds are already pretty good size. More Cheese and Blue Cheese. Day 46 flower. The young Blue Cheese is maybe day 28-30 flower.

Day 49 and end of week 7 of flower. First some BLUE CHEESE and some CHEESE. One Blue Cheese looks like it will be done in a week. The other Blue Cheese and the Cheese looks like they need two more weeks.

Probably the most perfect looking buds I’ve ever grown. Blue Cheese clone grown in the 5-1-1 soil mix which is made of five parts soil conditioner brought at Lowes for about $4 a bag, plus one part peat moss and one part perlite. Fed with Dyna Gro Foliage Pro at one teaspoon per gallon of RO water from start to finish.
Never had any problems at all and the plant grew perfectly. Very proud of this plant.

Very nice looking indeed. Is the BC clone something you selected or from someone else? Just wondering if you know the providence of her?
Edit: Ah, it’s in the title!
Sorry, brain fart..
definitely looks like a better example of Big Buddha cheese. Used to be very popular here in the UK

Thanks. I think the way I grew this plant this time is why it looks so good. I’ve grown the BC from Big Buddha several times in the past and another batch in this grow, none of them looked like this.Very nice looking indeed. Is the BC clone something you selected or from someone else? Just wondering if you know the providence of her?

The BC really took to the very heavily aerated and very well draining soil that I made. I used RO water and Dyna Gro Foliage Pro at one teaspoon per gallon and ph’ed to 6.0 to 6.2 for most of the grow. The first few feedings were at half a teaspoon of Foliage Pro per gallon and full feeding from then until last week. Fed at every watering and went to all water last week. I plan to harvest this plant in the next couple of days.
A finished bud from another BC plant I cut to dry last Sunday. Totally covered in resin. Grown organically.
