BillMonroe Built my own light, been growing some plants, here's one of them.
The wheel keeps turning.
Think I'll scrog it up again... this one will flower along side a Lemon Kush.
Who really cares what a vegging plant looks like, right? I'll be skipping most of that. Good luck with the grows!

BillMonroe Last veg pics before flower. Great plant! Watch out, it's quite leafy as the description says.
Potted up from 11L→25L. Long overdue.

BillMonroe It's pizza time, and the cheese is stretching. This one is not so fast with the flower development. It's growing extremely quickly and receiving a lot of light.

BillMonroe Cool plant. Big
Perfect stems for supercropping
It stretched more than I expected, the leaves are kinda narrow.
Yes, I'm about to replace the dirty pre-filter 😆

BillMonroe Hmm, I think this will be a big yielder. It's kinda hard to take pictures because the plant is very close to the lights, and the light is very intense.

BillMonroe I was sick and wasn't able to change the lighting situation... the cheese has been receiving a bit too much light. That's ok, it will handle it. The sugar leaves are dark green, a little chlorosis on the fan leaves due to the light intensity and drought. I let this plant get dry to the point where the leaves wilt before watering. I have read that drought stress increases secondary metabolites in many plants. this is why many people propose that letting the weed plant dry out may increase its terpene content. To be honest I'm also just lazy with watering and saying this to justify it. :)
The pics are not very exciting. It's just growing and stuff.. the tops remind me of some of those haze plants. I think many of these tops will fall over and I will be too lazy to bring a good solution. Thankfully, nature finds a way where I don't, lol. Anyway, the plant is an interesting one. Its canopy is about 100x60cm. With good lighting it looks like there is potential for an insane yield. The THC production is either slow and yet to come, or not very high. Perhaps the trichomes have short stalks which makes me misjudge the thc content. The smell is really great, I think it will be a very nice and dank smoke. Happy growing everybody

BillMonroe I skipped a week cause it just keeps growing and swelling. A few days ago the branches started falling over. I couldn't find half the plant. So instead of ignoring it I decided to stake this plant up.
Great smells, definitely seems like a winner.
Other plants will have a hard time competing against this blue cheese.
Earlier this week I let this plant dry out for a day to stress it a little.
The yellow leaves are from too much light and the drought stress.
I expected similar heights from the plants but as you can see the difference is huge.😊
BillMonroe Nice! Let's say I look forward more to smoking it than trimming it
The tops have some different shapes because I used the "back building" technique
I'll add some more pictures on tuesday. You can right click and open the image in a new window to get a better look

BillMonroe Pics after drought
It's finally starting to get ready. Everything is swelling and more hairs are turning orange.
Lots of yellow leaves, but no bud rot... checking daily.
Interesting smell, really strong
BillMonroe I'm going to cut it this week! What a plant!
The other plant, lemon kush, is a great success. Smoking it right now
Thanks for the interest. Judging by the smell and awesome buds this long flowering one was very worth it. In about 3 weeks there will be a review... in the meantime, feel free check out the next grow: Pineapple Express
It looks fucked up in there but I still haven't found any bud rot. Obviously I'm not cracking open the entire thing so let's see!
Blue Cheese is a connoisseur's weed that lives up to its name. High on flavor as well as potency. A huge yielder

BillMonroe Very happy with the result :)
It's a real cheese! When I harvested Lemon Kush it was my favorite plant from Zambeza, but now this one takes #1. Great flavor and potency. Very similar in structure to some SSH pheno.
It's a shame I couldn't take better pictures - it's a beautiful plant that can grow really big. Congratulations to Zambeza for these great genetics.
@DankGardener, thx! You are right. I went to 11/13 a week ago (probably forgot to edit the diary) but I will set it to 10/14!
I think increasing the dark time is probably a better cue to get plants to finish than simply dimming. cloudy days are random but the length of nights never is.
@amazongrow, Haha, it was really close to the plant! I had to angle the light because the tops were growing up between the strips and against them
With strips, you can get really close to the plants if you run them at a bit lower power.
I think this plant would have finished sooner (but less yield) if I gave it less light Seems like, if some plants gets too much light, it just keeps on making buds and foxtails forever and ever. I had it with SSH too
Awesome! I enjoy going through veg grows to look back on. But i agree, flowering is even better to enjoy with our eyeballs. Haopy growing, cant wait for the end result!!!
@indacouch, I got so tired of taking pictures of stems and leaves, haha! This way, I can focus on taking fewer but better pictures. That said it's fun to see the daily growth of seedlings. Good luck with your grow too =)
Looks great from here Bill. Might hammer the trichs on in the last few weeks like a few i have grown over time. using every inch of space for bud is a skill mate. well done
