Another little smoke update on the Cheeese. This is really nice smoke after a week or so jarred. Pungent flavour that almost reminds me of the purps. Very nice pot...

And damn... yeah, this really reminds me of the purps I used to get in the early 00's. Still has it's own thing going on though, a little berry and cheese with an almost soapy thrills gum kinda taste. In a good way. Really impressed with this strain.

Stuff I had was just called the purps and was bred by JOTI back in the day. It was a really intense grape heavy smoke with hints of berries that reminded me of thrills gum. Soapy almost. His parent stock was Mendo purps out of Norcal but he lost that one too I think, last time I cracked a pack of seeds of it, it wasnt even close.
This Dragon cheese is way closer to the purps than anything I've grown called the purps in a long time lol.

Well would you look at that. Turns out it has mendo purps in its lineage. So it's not just my imagination... Cool!

Sleep tight my ladies... for today is the day you will meet my scissors. Big day ahead.
Pretty wild color variation in the room, gotta say. This Violator is beautiful...
And the bubba nugs got chunky as hell this round. Looks like shes gonna be some noice smoke. Not my finest work, bit of a sloppy haggard looking room to be honest but the nugs look great. It's a big improvement in bud structure over the last couple grows. Next run I plan to invest a bit more time into vegging them a fair bit bigger before flip.

Thanks Cat! I love having several wildly different strains that all finish so differently in here at the same time. The last week is always interesting to see what comes out. Violator showed no purple last time, it just faded yellow. So its neat to see that this time.
But this system seems to allow the plants to go longer than they do in promix, I'm definitely going to adjust several things for the next round. Not just veg time but feed rates, cycle timing, wool size and dimensions, trellising and pruning. Lots of cool ideas for the next one.

I have to confess that I have big tent envy. Not even a full grow done and I'm whining about not being able to grow a plant proper with a full range of growth! Even outdoors on the deck they will have to stay 4ft or shorter in their pots so they aren't seen by neighbors. Not that I know what the heck I'm going to do with my harvests after this one.

Inside a short canopy is needed because of the limitations of artificial light.
Best we can hope for without additional side lighting is a few feet of budding canopy.

I hear ya, and feel the envy... I spent a period of about 3 years between bigger grows where I just grew in a converted commercial beverage cooler at home. It was 2x2x6', and the most I could do was one decent plant or 4 small ones crowded In there lol. It was nice to have at least a plant growing but it was frustrating not being able to experiment and have some breathing room. I was used to growing in medium to large buildings so there was a big learning curve, its much harder to control the environment in those small grows honestly. I found running entire buildings far easier to maintain a consistent environment.
When I built this shed it was so I could grow in a small well equipped building again that is all mine, and compared to other grow-ops in my area it's still considered very, very small, which keeps me off of anyone's radar and is easily manageable on my own from planting through to packaging.
And keeping it 100sq/ft meant I didnt need a permit for the building either. It was about 2 years from having the idea to build it, to putting plants in it. Just worked on it on the weekends. There was a stretch of almost a year where it just sat at lockup stage unfinished when I got sick of working on it lol. Glad I finished it now though.
Jeez that cheese is good... lol, makin me ramble hahaha.

Looked back on pics of bubba through the last few grows, first one here is from a decent promix grow 3 crops ago. This is its average flower structure for me on a decent grow cycle. The hydro grown buds are noticably bigger, wider..chunkier to my eye. It's about on par with the best it's ever looked which was when I grew it outdoors and finished it inside. True test will be how she smokes...

My Little Grow Shed
Hey all. Thought I'd share a few pics of my grow shed. I put a lot of planning into the design and built it from the ground up on my own a couple years ago. Even taught myself how to do all the electrical install and run teck cable from my house. Many hours of work went into this thing. It's an...
