Spicysativa's Cheese Quake Grow

strange...

I just noticed one of my non-tga plants today has a conjoined twin leaf finger... they're merged to about half way the width of the finger then they separate...

Post a pic, i love seeing freaks!

What's up everyone? Quick update. I selected my favorite 4 and transplanted into 7 gallon Smart Pots filled with about 50% super soil. Lagging on the picture updates... Let's see if I can find some time...

Alright, here are some pics.

Getting a little bit of crispness in the leaf tips, mostly on the lower leaves. I ended up playing it a little safe with the super soil, so hopefully they will find their stride soon. I mixed 50/50 Roots Organic and Super Soil, and used that for the transplant. Since Smart Pots are so short, I couldn't really layer it like most folks do. That ends up being 2.5 gallons of super soil per plant (or about 35% of the 7-gal volume). I also left some room in case I need to top dress.

Looking good man. Subbed for the ride. Sprouted a few CQ's myself recently. Good vibes to your grow

Thanks, man!
They're looking good. The super soil burned them a little at first, but they seem to be finding their stride. I definitely dig the mainlining so far. Instead of an semi-trained jungle of who knows how many primaries and secondaries, I've got 32 distinct colas-to-be .

I'm going to try the method as well, when they're old enough. I have a really small space to work in so I don't want them to get too big ya know?

Yup. How big is your space? I'm doing 4 plants under 600 watts in a 4x4 area (about 3.5x3.5 usable space).

2Wx2Lx6H under 250 HPS

Not a lot of space for a 600w... are you going to top/fim/lst your plants to get more colas/yield? I'd highly recommend it for that space if you want the kind of yields your 600w is capable of delivering I grew 16 plants in that size space before under a 600w single cola

My space is pretty small too so I'm def going to top the CQ's for a few colas and maybe try to mainline.... however I want to ease into that process by experimenting with each strain as I go, to see how large they get. I don't want to outgrow my space. Space is my biggest issue, and I want to learn how to maintain plant size so that I can always have some that are getting ready to finish when the new ones start.... and overlap the timeframes so I have a harvest every month. It's just my own experimentation until I get the entire process down.

I'll post my CQ's progress here from time to time, with Spicysativa's permission. Stay green

Mainlining is nice. I would go with 16 heads if you height restrictions...

Sounds like you got a good plan IMO, unless you are growing SOG or LST'ing... top early, and top often Especially early. You're welcome to post up in my thread if spicey isn't down for that as well the more the merrier

What's up Nerds? Update time. Day 47 of veg. Lookin nice

You might notice the toasted lower leaves, but it looks like they've adjusted. Another 7-10 days or so til 12/12.

Very compact! They're just at that point where they'll start really taking off into full veg

Sensei - I'm down with anyone and everyone posting up in my thread. It doesn't even have to be on topic, as long as we keep it positive.

It's looking like I have at least 2 different phenotypes, possibly 3 or 4... 2 of them are a little taller, 2 are super compact. I've got clones from the 4 I'm flowering, and the 2 I culled. So far one has shown roots, and of course it's one of the ones I didn't keep around. I'm still deciding whether I wwant to keep the clones from plants I tossed. It'd be a shame to miss out on something good, but space is tight.

My rule is always make room.... you'd kick yourself if you missed something good The only reason not to make room is for plants that are sickly problem plants. If they're healthy, grow'em

Back with a quick update. This ones more just for my own record keeping, but I thought I'd share it here anyway.

-Looks like I got neary 100% of my clones to root this time around. For only being my second attempt at cloning, I'd say it went well

-The 2 shorter plants continue to lag a bit behind the taller 2, but look healthy. One of the shorter ones seems to be a little more nutrient sensitive; it's still got some minor claw, but seems to be growing out of it.. Based on my research, Querkle is very slow to veg, so I assume these 2 are likely more Querkle dominant.

-The 2 taller ones look nearly identical to each other. They have slightly longer internodes, and slightly lighter green color. Nice, vigorous growth. By process of elimination, I believe these 2 are more Cheese dominant.

- Stem rubs smell great, but it's too early to describe the aroma.

I'll update this post tonight with the plant #'s I've assigned to my 4 Cheese Quakes, and also hopefully some updated pictures. For now, I am stuck at work....

Hopefully after I post pictures you folks who have grown Cheese Quake can come play the "Guess that Pheno" game.
