New Grower Dinafem Blue Cheese Auto

[jeffsos3000]

heya cheers for the tag.blue cheese a fuss free plant and a lovely smoke
good luck n keep er lit.

Hey Archie since you've grown blue cheese before I'm just curious. What kind is nutrient feeding do they like. Are they sensitive at all. Or can they handle heavier dose right away. I've usually always worked up. And I've never gone over half strength of photo recommendations. Any info you could give would help a lot. Saves having to worry about mistakes with a strain I'm not familiar with. If it matters to know I use advanced nutrients pH perfect sensi a and b

i have only ever used biobizz nutes
my feeding dont vary from this by much,if i remember to fill it in.

the half strenght of photo schedule...i think its a funny one,funny as in yes thats good advice for a first timer,as theres umpteen different nute lines and none for autos(maybe one now ..canna ?) i then think its upto us to adapt or tweek the schedule ourselves to suit.
sorry for the dud/vague useless information
burnt tips and a clawing leaf dont scare me now like they used to,if it happens i give em a drink of water the next day,never panic never flush.keep it simple and all that.
this any good to you
i grew an original amnesia,moby dick and a blue cheese at the same time.other two gave me some issues along the way,blue cheese just kept trucking on,not the biggest yield but the prettiest plant and the nicest buds,effects where bang bang to.

this struck a chord with me.

Not at all my mate....I basically was transplanting my plants dude...starting them off in a small pot then transplanting to a bigger when ready.......and this is no good with auto's really.......I was reading too much about growing and trying loads of things my own way, trying to get my own spin on things and be the one with the new technique.....but @autobeast set me straight so props to him dude.....there are certain sets of rules that we must follow to grow auto's well and planting the seed in the final pot was one of them I learned....there are, of course ways to transplant an auto and grow her well, I did it with success for a while but I was just lucky....in the final pot is safest... @912GreenSkell uses/devised a really good way with slits in the solo cup, that you might have seen dude.....anyway I hope this helps dude:smiley1:

experimenting is great.its great fun for a start,cant learn without trying new things.topping,fimming and all them other things wouldnt exist without it.and sometimes reading about it in a book isnt good enough.the suck it and see syndrome.chances are if ya tell me not to touch something its hot,im gonna do the unthinkable eejit nature i spose.
an analargy fuck spelling ya know what i mean....trying to get a car to go round a track faster,never make more than one adjustment or change because you wont know what did what,only if it went faster/slower/same.
street weed is shit,no weed is real shit.keep it simple stupid,less is more,and my fav the less you do the less can go wrong get a couple of harvests in,a bit of stock.or if ya got the space set aside an area or donor plant for experimenting,and do all the crazy shit ya can think of
i should dtop now thats a total ramble.

Yes I am familiar with the solo cup with the slots cut in it. I've personally just always planted into final pot myself as well. And I germinate in the soil as well. I just find it easier. And now I'm really second guessing mainlining this thing to 4 Colas. I'm almost feeling it's a damn good waste of star genetics lol. I think I might just grow it similar to you. Just top once and create a manifold like you. I've never trained a plant the way you have. I've topped before. But your kind of mixing topping and manifold training. I like your method as it allows for lots of light penetration. If I'm right it looks like after you create initial manifold you then train the side branches horizontally out and up as well? I might have to look to you for some tips. And if I remember right you said you top at third node? Do you count your initial cotekadons as first node or first actual set of leaves as first. I've always topped at third myself, but I count from first set of true single leaves.

Sorry for all the questions. Your method definitely intrigues me. I'm hoping when I get home tomorrow to see a young sprout. If so I'll update when I get home.

I count the first single finger leaves as the first node...and yes it's just up and out dude.....I used to tie them down alot tighter, like almost horizontal...but I like to let them go up as well now.....get longer colas that way.....hope this helps :smiley1:

yeah thats exactly the way i was thinking of doing it. i think im going to take your advice and not double top this dinafem. since its a new strain for me i think one topping will be best. will give me more to work with and give me a better idea of what the plant is capable of and can handle. so ill probably either be using your exact technique or just growing it the same way i dad my canuk auto cheese. i like your method though becasue it allows, like you say for longer colas. so ill probably go with that. ill save the 4 cola mainline for another grow once i have more surplus bud and ill do it on a freebie seed.

youve made me a very happy person archie. great to hear the bluie cheese is so harty and kind of a tank of a plant. and thanks a lot for the feeding schedule, ill definitly be looking at it when feeding time comes. ive never really been one to follow schedules, i always just kind of feed and attempt to let the plant tell me yes or no. but its always nice to have a guideline to compare with. my last grow i started with 1/4 ml/L at around day 10 i believe and just started working up from there until i reached 2ml/L

...haha dude....I think you will have more success this way....at least I hope you do now....I think I only have 6 tied down and the rest you can achieve with smart, tactical defol dude....really I just try and keep the middle clear......I hope this way works for you and am looking forward to your journal grobro

I'm almost feeling it's a damn good waste of star genetics lol

...I truly believe it would be as [HASHTAG]#dinafem[/HASHTAG] have great products......Shit dude, I really hope this works for you now haha
