sounds like yur raising crack babies...
Super lemon haze x exodus cheese. So she has some skunk lineage for sure, thus the cheese. I'm happy with the strain for sure. I have one more freebie of it so I'll be saving that one for when I run out.
Looks all good but not a fan of lemon peels & cheese thing.. I like earthy musky incense mountain Kush type aromas like Sandalwood.. But I'm glad you're into it..That's why there seems to be a strain for everyone..
I do love the cheese and citrus personally but I get what you mean. I mean their are strains that smell and maybe? Taste like cat piss haha. I like the variety and I really like when the taste is distinct and not like chlorophyll or grassy. Sure I have preferences but new tastes in bud is exciting. To date my absolute favorite is Cherry Pie
Mine go back to spending summers near keystone - Breckenridge Colorado up in the mountains fishing on the Blue river for Cutty's and brookies.. It would lightly drizzle all day, with sun shining. Smelled like wet birch leaves, and mineral aroma soggy soil. Those earthy mountain scents were so intense.. Maybe the incense thing goes back to my teen years where everyone had a burner and assortment of cones or sticks, that take me back to Rundgren - Zeppelin-ish dreams of Frankincense and myrrh silk road caravan trade..
That's funny as hell.. Yeah, a Floyd playlist goes well with a couch lock high. Along with solo Waters and Gilmore stuff that catalog is huge..
seen some photo's of fabric pots with roots growing through them and I know that's not good exposing roots to light..Those may be low quality and you often get what you pay for.. I like the sewn on handles on them but dont know if its enough to sway me away from the cheap black plastic nursery pots I'm currently using..Veg tent lil ones are looking good. The tip that comes to mind here is how to water seedlings.
I personally like to mist them with water until they get their first leaf. Then in this case, I up potted them. I would have gone to five gallon pots but I only had 3 gallons so that's what they are in currently.
Now, I water around the edge of the pot with a watering can. I highly recommend fabric pots with a drain pan and a riser underneath, especially if you are new to watering these or any plants.
Flowering tent looks good but I noticed some brown or rusty spots on the leaves. They were in need of a watering or overdue. I gave them around 4 grams per gallon MC in 3 total gallons for the 4 plants.
I added calmag. I'm pretty new on this diagnosing front so I'll have to take a pic and see what you all think.
Next is setting up the watering system. I have next week off so that will be completed soon. Automatic watering system set on a timer running to little horseshoe sprinklers.
Finally, I've been burping the buckets/bags of bud from the last harvest. I highly recommend this method. Bud goes into 3 gallon turkey bags, into 5 gallon buckets with screw on tops with gaskets and throw in humidity packs. I was out burping or releasing the build up and letting fresh air in and checked out a nug of Lemon Cheese.
Last tip of the day for my attempt at a 101. When photographing a nug play around with different backgrounds and lighting. There are options for purchase but the world is your backdrop! I've been drawn to this hood but have a few other ideas in mind as well.
Have no idea what I'm doing with this journal but I hope you're enjoying it. Feel free to throw in tips or questions, whatever. Thanks

I see a little beetle damage there on that big fan leaf.. If this something that is just give and take being an outdoor grow? or did you have to spray?Here's a couple shots of the outdoor plants going. The first is an auto, it has sketchy genetics so I'm just happy to see something come of it. The second shot is several photoperiod Indicas. When you grow outside you obviously need to be more selective of your strains. Here, mould is not am issue but something to keep in mind. Here, short flowering time is the most important. These will hopefully be ready the first week in October and I'm guessing the cold will really bring out the purps.
I wouldn't spray anything hard..I made up a spray bottle of tobacco, rosemary and clove. So far it works like a charm..I noticed the beetle damage because i have the same thing attacking my grape vines and so far haven't found an easy way to treat it. There's a company that advertises here, Get the best natural pesticides available – toxin free & vegetable safe so kinda skimmed through it noticing i had all the ingredients.. Someone here in the group mentioned the tobacco proportion was 3 strong regular cigarettes and used that as my base proportion.. I steeped some concentrate after grinding it together and running it through a fine mesh basket sieve a few times to catch sediment.. It looks medium amber in color and just treated it as if I was brewing up a cup of loose Earl Grey tea.. [color should be a medium amber leaning towards the darker end of the spectrum..] In your case because of crop size i think you'll need a pump-wand sprayer and need to hit those plants few times during the week.
I heard it was marigold and citronella but that's more for natural forms of mosquito repellent..
