Blue cheese is done by several breeders. I have run Barney's and Big Buddha's
I tend to like Big Buddha's a tad better but very, very close!
If you have skills - this will be an easy run. If not, it could get tough till you dial this strain in with your nutrient and style.
A normal feeder, maybe a tic to the low side to start will help you. Not very tolerant of hard pushing or pH slipping out of range (I used 5.8 to 6.2 as my limits)
Start out with a middle of the road concentration and work up from there....Better to add more then have to back-track with damage done..
Humics and seaweed (kelp) are liked by this strain a lot.
USE a Ca/Mg as it seemed to like plenty.
Likes a bit lower temp for a daytime high but 78 will work out IF and I DO mean IF you keep those res temps below 72F!
Can tend to be fussy about it's root zone temp -I say try and keep that at 68 and much over 70 can cause too much stress and root rot becomes an issue..
Lighting is good with 600's but of course 1k's are a bit better - but not much on this strain as long as you keep plant height around 3-4' and hood distance from canopy at normal amounts.
Be sure your area is pest free! These are not a PM tolerant/resistant strain. Don't need to comment on bugs as I'm sure you already avoid those as best you can!
I average 23.6 total THC content and it is rather visual in buzz, kinda trippy like..
Average to slightly lower yields. I can push past the 1 zip per gallon of pot rule in soil but, not by much and I have to push it to do it.
In hydro (yes I did some hydro runs with this), It yields better then soil but keeping your node space close is the key - try deep blue spectral bulbs and be sure to run the MH for 2 weeks after the flip to help control stretch...before changing to the HPS......
Quality is better by running that MH for the last 2 weeks too.
Good Luck
