2009 budget SWISS CHEESE grow

Wellcome to my 2009 budget SWISS CHEESE grow.

STRAIN INFO
swiss Cheese is a hybrid of Nirvana’s former Swiss Miss and a curious Skunk 1 phenotype that was discovered in England and smuggled to Amsterdam in 2007. The one of a kind clone from England needed a father so we chose our former Swiss Miss that was originally bred in the Swiss Alps. A mix of a very early Swiss skunk and a robust strain from Nepal, Swiss Miss only adds to that “old school” flavor that makes Swiss Cheese so unique. Swiss Cheese is mold resistant and beginner friendly

THE BEGINNING
As you can tell from the name this is a budget grow I dont have a lot of money
or the space to grow in so iv settled on growing in my 5 foot wide wordrobe.
I have spent £200 on 2 400w maxiebright hps light complete 10 large square pots and 1 drip tray
2 light hangers one bag of coco mixed with clay pebles 1 bottle of B CUZZ A and 1 bottle of B CUZZ B which was chucked in for free from http://www.persygrowbox.co.uk/ and £17 pound on 10 reguler swiss cheese
DAY 1
I started my grow by souking my seeds in a cup of PH tested water (5.8PH) till all ten seeds had sank to the bottom i then placed the seeds between two pieces of toilet paper in a tupperware box and placed it on top of my amp and left them for 24 hour
DAY 2
All ten seeds had popped little white talls sticking out so i planted them into small pots filled with coco and left them under a 125w enviro light for 24 hour.
DAY3
9 of the 10 seeds had broken through to the Surface one had not so i put that back on top of the amp for another 24 hours hopefully that will be ready tomorrow to go under the light with the others.

Day 15.
All 9 plants are doing well had to chuck the last seed that didnt germ properly but 9 out of 10 not to bad all 9 plants look pritty good at the mo im now making 20 liters of water up at a time my EC is around 1.5 and and my PH is around 6.1 6.2 the runoff water PH is 5.9 so things seem to be going well just one more week till i repot and maybe 1 to 2 weeks till they go over to the 12/12
.
Day 18
just a quick update i got fed up waiting so iv repoted 8 of the swiss cheese. on the 18th ill be putting them under 12/12 so they would have had 3 weeks veg instead of my planned 4/5 week .

Hey man, nice garden!
I'm growing 3 feminised swiss cheese plants outdoors. They arent growing as quickly as yours, but they are def. healthy looking. They're into their third week of growing and they have their 4th set of leaves with five points on them. They're only about 4 inches tall right now and I think they're gonna enter their first week of vegetation since I've noticed quick growing habits now in the past two days or so. I'm excited about my grow and can't wait to taste the cheese bud that everyone talks about. There's none of this type of quality herb around here for hundreds of miles. I'm the only one!!!
Keep me posted on your grow!
Cheers

have your swiss cheese plants got any smell to them yet.. plan on doing these in a multi strain grow really soon.. just need a little push in the right direction, will be subscribed + rep

ok guys the swiss cheese is crap all the plants look diffrent only one seems to have a smell and that was male iv vegged these for four weeks and they been under 12/12 for one week iv chucked two males away and iv got two female and the other 5 are not showing any sign of sex yet im going to stick with these to see how they turn out but id not buy these again the strain seems unstable there no sign of it being anything like the uk cheese i just hope i end up with a good smoke to cover the cost of runing the lights

The swiss cheese strain is suggested for outdoor growing. It's finiky under indoor lights too. The plants that I have are growing nicely...but I invested in a trusted seed company...they're also feminized seeds, so I don't need to worry about having any males. Swiss Cheese is a beginner friendly growing plant.

Hello,
I am new to this forum. I am in the process of finishing up a grow of Northern Lights + Haze. Started with 10 very nice plants, but due to my budgetary constraints; I opted to not cough up the extra $$ for feminized seeds. What a mistake, I now have only two very nice looking ladies on their 18th day of flower. (See pics) These beans came from Nirvana, very good company to deal with; I have had (so far) three very nice stealthy shipments arrive with no issues. Anyway, my next grow will be two different strains; Top 44 (or Short Rider) and the Swiss Cheese. I picked these beans up from my friends at Nirvana, this time these babies are femies. Should have a much better yield with this grow.



MY SET UP;
Hydro
(Veg Room)
4x4x6
1 - 4 bulb T5 grow light
Drip feed system (gravity drain)
Vented in and out
Nutes: Floro Series 0-4-8 ml/per gal of distilled H20 (I do not use any FloroGrow, because the FloroMicro provides enough nitro. and is well balanced. No need for Epson salt to correct mag. deficiency. Also with this formula there is no need to flush during veg. I only flush once a grow with clearx. And I do this when my ladies go to 12/12

(Flower room)
Room is 5x5x8 completely enclosed
1 400w HPS and two 4ft fluorescents over the top
Ebb n Flo systems for the nutes
Vented in and out
Portable AC for temp control
C02 tank to fatten up them ladies
Nute mix; Floro series 0-8-16 = ml/per gal of distilled H20 this is the Lucas Formula, Thanks Lucas you Da man.

Enough, my concern with the indoor grow with the Swiss is the fact that this could be considered an outdoor strain. I will be tuned in on your progress of this grow; any tips will be greatly needed. I will start a Journal when I start my grow.

Good luck, with your grow

ok i now have 5 female plants out of 10 seeds in my last post i said this strain was crap well you should ignore that arfter giving up smoking i was prirty stressed at everything well as for the variation in my plant now iv got rid of the males i only have two one looks just like a big bud plant and the others are short and bushy iv taken clones off each plant so in six to seven weeks when i get to smoke some of this green ill now which to keep for my mother plant and the rest ill put outside to see how well they do in the southeast of england

Hey dogz...how's the Cheese bud doin?
I've only got one left in my garden. 2 of the 3 died. and both Northern Lights turned out to be males. So all I've got is one lonely Cheese girl sittin pretty in the center of my garden. She's only about a foot tall, but dense as fuck. She's gonna get 100% of my undivided attention from now on. Hopefully with all my TLC, she'll repay me kindly.
Need some updated pics brah!

how are they smelling?

hey man nice plants!! noticed that those were outdoor recommended.. but from what i have seen.. wow!! keep it up

ok the plants have been flowering for just over 8 weeks iv cut all of them down except one which i think may have another week togo as for the smell the buds look reel nice but only have a mild smell and it dont smell like cheese in my opinion if u want to grow a plant that smells and tast like uk cheese dont grow swiss cheese your better off paying that bit extra and buying some big budda cheese

None of the plants had a cheese characteristic?
