Swiss Cheese Grow Report

[PaganRich]

Greetings....Started this as a side project to see what all the fuss about Cheeses are so here we go.....Before and after a trimming, much needed and third pic is the next day showing no adverse effects

Before and after defoliation...

[PaganRich]

Further defol required today

Looks like those plants are gonna be great producers. I have some Cheese seeds but have yet to use them. So what does the close pin do? Looks like you move the tent pegs out towards the sides of the pots as the plants continue to grow. I like the idea_ looks like it gets a better spread at a lower level than timing them out to the sides since you get them nice and low from the start. Thanks for the technique!

Zigzag...the metal tent peggy things are really long and I have 2 types, standard or heavy.....I`ve got quite chunky fingers and am not good with wire ties....also, when they are pegged they really do restrain movement and seem to promote stockier stems. The cloth peg is something I`ve heard being used around here (where i live)....it`s meant to increase root/ bud production....I`m not sure but I`m trying orchid clips either around the main stem or /and around major stems as an alternative......hope that makes sense....it`s a work in progress

[StoneyTony]

I like the tent peg idea too. I have the same issue with my fingers and I always feel I'm going tear or break something off the plants.

Beautiful plants! I always shook my head at using the word "cheese" in a strain name, but the cheese strains are some of my favorites. In San Diego you know you can always trust a cheese strain on the menu to be smooth with great potency!

Better beer in Shepton for sure

[PaganRich]

Too true there....need it as well

[StoneyTony]

NebulaHaze - I got my first tat in SD when I lived there for a spell. I've learned, however, I prefer NorCal Too bad I moved a year before legalization

[PaganRich]

Flipped today and took some cuttings as well plus a robust defoliation (Never done cuttings before). Only pic is post defol.

[PaganRich]

Swiss C`s before and after defoliation, now fitted with Orchid clips to see if that induces larger buds by stressing internal fluid flow....worth a try

[ZigZag]

Thanks. good info to consider next time round. I like to keep my canopy as even as possible too but haven't had as much success as you seem have using just LST. I have to top them at least once to get enough of a spread_ so gonna try your LST technique for sure.

[PaganRich]

If there`s anything I can do to assist, just ask

[ZigZag]

Thanks PaganRich! I will for sure.

[PaganRich]

A little tidying up done

[StoneyTony]

Interesting. Your Swiss Cheese looks to lean more toward the indica side. I'm growing a SC now myself and she's leaning very much to the sativa end.

[PaganRich]

The type is a swiss cheese however I use lights, air and LST to really try and keep growth contained.....plus I`m not a fan of tall plants, like something I can move easily

[StoneyTony]

I hear ya. I'm manifolding my Swiss Cheese. I expect she will stretch quite a bit when I switch to flower since she's leaning to the sativa side

[PaganRich]

Pre and post defoliation....so far so good........

[PaganRich]

Two others I tackled today
