Original Cheese IBL - T5 Test Grow

[PotChimp]

6 weeks and 1 day it's the first hairs

I'll tie these plants over with a wire tie and put four red spectrum t5s in place of the full spectrum bulbs tomorrow.

Note: These two plants are tied over to keep them from hitting the lights; I'll get a pic of them up later. They're both in by themselves now so I had the room to tie them down.

7 weeks and 4 days of 12/12 - Original Cheese IBL:

This is about how far along the flowers are:

I've fed them three times so far; one FF grow dose (week 3) and the first and third week of FF's bloom.

 

[Stinky Snid]

Moving right along here I see. Looking super Potchimp, keep up the good work and...

KiG

 

[PotChimp]

Thanks I'll get more pics up as they flower out more.

Original Cheese IBL - 8 weeks and 3 days from seed:

For the Hell of it, I fed them a dose of compost tea last night. I'll continue them on FF though.

 

[b.real]

they look great

 

[PotChimp]

Thanks they're getting a little fatter too:

I'll feed them again soon. That's only 2 veg and 2 bloom feedings, plus the little bit of compost tea so far. I'm impressed as to how decent they're doing for so low wattage of light. It's not gonna amount to big yield but if this is all the grow area a person has, you can get it to work for you and this is proof.

 

[PotChimp]

If I could just bend them down a little further and set them up on something about 3" taller, those lower flowers would be more in the light.....

2 plant no mercy Original Cheese IBL grow - 10 weeks and 4 days from seed:

Original Cheese IBL - 11 weeks and 6 days from seed (they're not the best pics; I decided to try a few without the flash):

If I redo this experiment with a similar strain, I'm gonna put four plants in

 

[PotChimp]

I tied these down with wires and I think one of them slipped that must be why the leaves are burnt it grew into the light cover. Here they are at 11 weeks and 6 days of 12/12 - Original Cheese IBL:

They're pretty close.
I'll get a full pic up of both before I chop them. I'd suggest if anyone does a similar grow to get both the full and bloom spectrum bulbs. I have a Thai Stick plant I'm trying to start flower under a full spectrum and I'm thinking of changing it to a bloom. Flowering doesn't happen fast with this strain, but it's barely happening with the blue light I have in there now.

 

[b.real]

Looking great.

 

[PotChimp]

Thanks b.real here's a close to done shot of the two I can't wait to get them out of the confined area they're in to get better pics. I'm surprised at how well they did under these lights:

I think my next venture is a bunch of Ak47 clones under these, but I'm gonna veg those a little instead of going no mercy like this.

 

[PotChimp]

I forgot to mention that it's 13 weeks and 4 days from seed so far. I haven't fed these that many times either

For the Space and light this proof any brother can have a bit of dank in jar.

Well done the paradise Cheese was always a strain i looked at considering they said its one of the original cheese.

Well odne looking forward to the AK.

 

[PotChimp]

That Ak47 wound up getting a disease called TMV. I'm going to just flower it out not clone it, and I'm saving right now for more Ak47 seeds. Bummer.
Here's the original IBL Cheese plants (15 weeks and 5 days from seed):

The one could go a little longer, but I want to chop them both to get other things going. I'll do a post when I can to put up pics, dry weights, and a final summary.

 

[PotChimp]

At 16 weeks, I chopped both these plants (2 days of a dark period). I've smoked 3 fattys out of it and they were fattys too I still got .55 oz. from them both.
The area I grew these in was 2' x 3' x 2' and had little air circulation. If it's all you have to work with and have to keep your electric bill down it would do, but I'd suggest doing 6 plants (all of them in 1 gallon pots) if you're going to do 12/12 under four 2' t5s. Train the plants as flat as you can to get the flowers close to the bulbs because anything past 8" below these t5s starts to grow weak. I like the results actually but I think I'm going to do 3 weeks of 24/0 before I run 12/12 if I do it again. Good idea though b.real, and thanks for giving it to me. Here's it is; Paradise Seeds - original Cheese IBL:

It's got the cheese smell and taste. I guess on the old one to ten scale I'd give it a 6 It's not great weed but it's okay.
If I got the seeds for free with an order I'd do this strain again, but that order wouldn't be for more of these seeds you know what I mean? Thanks for following along everybody I'm gonna close this one!

Hope all is well in your world.

Thanks for sharing this grow with us.

Please head over to the 420 Strain Reviews forum and post your smoke report there too.

I’m moving this to Completed Journals now.

Sending you lots of love and positive energy.

Thanks
After smoking a joint of this pot from the small main cola of one of these plants I had to come back to give this a higher number than 6. I smoked some of the smaller stuff that was dried before I jarred it up and that's what I was judging the buzz from. It's more like a 7 pushing 8. I think I'd order the seeds again, too.
I guess from now on I'll smoke from the best bud on the plant before I toss my opinion out there.
