I dont know whats going on with my plant. Maybe im over watering it. I had been feeding her bloom food every other watering. I feel like i was always waiting till the soil is mostly dry before watering again. Also im gunna take out the cage because its not helping the way i wanted it to and is adding too much heavy wait to the pot. I really hope she can recover and keep flowering. I really need these flowers to grow.
When you light primarily from the side the plant will shift the leaves over, and they'll even curl when the plant is healthy (super common pseudo-problem in vert). I'd defoliate the bad looking stuff, water as normal and just make sure she's not too hot. Can put the biggest light up top if you want it to stop most of it. This could potentially be masking a problem too I suppose, but I think it will be alright. Hope any of this helps.
Update. The tall lady is still flowering ok atm. And the shorter lady is also doing great. I can't wait to harvest them. I'm going to flower them until they are milky and amber THC.
These cheese ladies are flowering nicely as well. The newest cheese lady is branching off really nicely. Hope im gonna get nice big fat buds off of this one.
Im really enjoying this thread, especially your commitment to dialing the strain in
Each grow your doing looks better than the last, pheno hunting the line as much as possible...
Could be very profitable to you for the future selections, reveg and feminizing your best clone
Just a thought
It's probably time to start flushing the big one soon. And the smaller one might be getting overwatered So I need to hold off and let it dry out more often before each watering.
Side note: Doing this as a side by experiment. with the three gallon pot vs the one gallon plastic bucket. Proves that even with the problems the bigger plant has had had it still bigger by a lot.. and with better/bigger flowers.
As with the other one it still has a lot more time to flower. And when the bigger one is done and harvested, I will move that one under more light to finish.
Next is the cheese clone. She is starting to reveg now that she's in the 3 gal soil. I planned to vegetate her for least a month maybe more. And I'm training her to become more bushy before going into the bloom room.
Still mostly clear trich. Im wating on some amber and cloudy trich before harvest. Also still flushing the spil/roots atm. Now, while I didn't get baseball bat sized flowers. I still got very frosty medicinal looking flowers. Next time I have to tie the plants down early on so that it stays bush like im doing with the cheese clone.
And always go with a three gallon pot of soil.
Then heres my cheese clone from the one in the pictures above. As soon as it fills up the screen ill then put it in the bloom. I like how she is staying short.
Today I plan to harvest sometime. I think it's on seventeen weeks flower now. But I finally got the milky and amber THC that i wanted.
Now for the things I love and don't like about this strain.
Likes.
1) I absolutely love the amount of thc on these flowers.
2) The buzz is always great with this strain.
3) The smell is a love it or hate it situation and I love it. Smells like sweetness and rotten fruit mixed.
4) While the flowers could have grown bigger, I'm gonna be satisfied with what i've got because that's what you have to do in life. And I have hundreds of more chees seeds left to grow.
And a new bushy cheese clone. And another grow area with even more cheese plants getting close to harvest.
5) This strain can take a lot of abuse.
6) If you wanted to grow it in hydroponics it grows extraordinarily well.
Now for the things I dislike About the strain.
1) It takes forever to finish flowering.
2) I wish it grew thicker branches.
3) because it grows tall like the california pine trees. I now know that it's best to switch To twelve twelve sooner or pinch the top off it off to make it more bushy before going into flowering cycle.
Also my current cheese clone is getting bushy Because I low stressed trained her to a screen.
I plan to move her to the second bloomroom in the comming days.
Also I was gonna leave a few branches at the bottom of the big cheese and try to reveg it. I've done it once before years ago.
Then there's the other smaller cheese next to that one who needs a longer flowering time because it got started later.
Also I learned that it needs at least a three gallon pot to do anything worth a damn.
The 17 week cheese lady has been harvested and It's dried, and it tastes great. It's got a somewhat sedative effect. And I really like how frosty it turned out to be.
Then there are these two cheeses. The first one is halfway through flowering and the second one just got started flowering. The clone is getting bottom fed. I wanted to try this method to see if it worked better or worse than watering from the top.
Update: The cheese's are doing well. I hope the young lady ends up flowering fat frosty flowers.
Then the older cheese clone is getting nice and fat, and frosty. This uk cheese strain i have seems to clone well. As both of these plants are cheese clones from my last grow. This year i have decided i like fox farm soil better than Miracle grow. Unless somebody knows of a better soil than fox farm thats easy to get in tx.
Also love that all my Cheese seeds are turning female and frosty. And I have at least a couple hundred seeds left. Plus i'm practicing cloning them.
The UK cheese is not doing that well, and Miracle grow sucks a big bag of dicks, because it doesn't properly hold the water. I need to find me a better soil soon for my next grow.
I used to use fox farm brand but is there a better one?
And one of the other cheeses from the last grow is starting to revegetate now. Hopefully I can get it to regrow nice long branches for cloning.
And another cheese lady is about to get harvested.
