i grew 5 fem in a 5x5 under fl lights for a month then flipped to 600 hps for a little over 7 weeks(did not keep exact dates)and had over a half pound of medical grade swiss cheese with very little waste. very nice smell and taste. if you do not want big colas you must super crop some people hate the big colas and this is a big cola producer! did not have to stake and baby like the bigb.from what ive read big b sold to greenhouse his cheese and i am running 10 of those that look much better for some reason seeing as it is the same thing?how are you making out so far keep me posted and much respect on your selection

the height was medium around 3-4 feet from top of pot not really bushy and mostly cola like a cactus.are you fans blowing in and out?what kind of lights do you have? i prob flowered at about 12" so yours should be around the same. all of mine seemed to have the same phenos and grow the same no stretchers and no shorties.you should be happy with outcome.keep me posted much respect

my plants and nugs looked way different. i will have to buy another five pack to make sure they got this locked down cause like i said before there nypd and most are a waste of time ive only had luck with blue mystic and swiss cheese from them but then again only ran them once as im a seed/variety whore makes me wonder if it was just luck of the draw.

nothing is easy. i did not weigh the outcome of each plant. pulled after careful tc scope of each. dried together. trimmed together. weighed final together.

Now then Dog, sorry to here you not keen on the swiss ( i got 5 Big budda Blue cheese in coco 2 and a half weeks in 2 flower and they lookin nice) but matey boy right them buds look a bit popcorn yours might smoke a hole lot better, dont get down about it yet. And nice to see a few more brits on here keep up the grow fella ill be dropin in from time to time for a smoke report!.
 
safe bud.
well i have put them into flower now . the swiss cheese look like they mite be male, only been in flower for two days so a bit early to tell, but as i paid for female seeds i wont be best pleased if they turn out to be male !!!. However the two wonder woman im doing as well are going sound, they had female hairs after just 1 night in flower. i hope my canopy stays about the same level. thats the only problem with nft systems.
My lights are hps600 in a cool shade. ec now at 1350 and ph at 6.2 temp 25 degrees centigrade/night temp is 17/19. humidity at 55/62... flowered at 7" ......i have 5 small computer fans blowing in and extracting thru the coolshade...

No wonder it did not taste good or get you that high just look at your leaves there are FRIED from you pounding the plant with nutrients, not allowing the plant to grow properly and when your stressing the hell out of plant like this you get shit smoke its that simple.FROM my experience and the fact that the Dispensaries here in my town love my SWISS CHEESE and the STRONG SKUNK smell and HEAVY STONE, tells me that this grow was OPERATOR ERROR and not genetics

Just started harvesting outdoor big buddha cheese here in N. California, did pretty good, real bushy plants, 5-6ft tall, thin sativa-like leaves and tons of medium sized colas.
