I promise I am going to a proper diary from start to finish.

The grow will be

5 x The Church
5 x Big Budda Cheese

I will be keeping the plants indoors till late March/early April then I will support the main stem and get them outside in some massive pots. I plan on putting a few into the ground too to see what the difference is.

I have popped and potted my Church and about to pop by Big Budda Cheese.

I will do proper pics once the potted seeds grow a little.

I am going to clone both the Church and the Cheese to give me more plants

I am going to keep a few of the nicer buds from each plant but the rest will be made into hash

Really got the bug again this year and I can't wait.

I will do at least an update per week with several pics and I really appreciate the help I know I will get from this site.

Stay tuned and I hope you enjoy looking at my grow and future hash making as much I have enjoyed looking at other peoples on here

Good Luck with your venture I'm giving outdoors a miss this year, last year I put one out start of June, was in an 11L pot to start then transplanted to ground, It grew massive, and although not properly finished still yielded 4oz. The only trouble was getting it to the site

Will be sitting in on this one Martini

Just a quick update before I start some pics (Not too much to picture at moment).

Out of 5 Church seeds I had 4 pop and then one that just doesn't seem to want to grow once popped so therefore I have 3 out of 5 growing and they were femmed seeds (Seems odd that 1 didn't pop and one didn't grow)

Out of 5 Big Budda Cheese I had 5 pop and they are shooting up.

Will start getting pics sorted.

Here are some pics. The plants are on my window ledge getting plenty of sun and coming along just fine. The first two pics are my Cheese plants (5 of them in total) and the second two pics are my Church plants (Managed to get 3 out of 5 to pop). The last pic is some black I have at the moment (2 types) they are both lovely, the smoother looking one is real quality, its came in 4mm thick sheets, its really nice

Can't beat a bit of Au Natural m8
looking lovely. Don't let Jiffa see that black

Cheers fella

I was shitting myself as I originally planted them in some glass coffee cup (I know!) so I repotted but damaged some of the roots in the process, well I say damaged..... half of the roots were left in the glass coffee cups, but all is well with them and they are growing nicely.

I am waiting for Monk to take the piss out of my black but I can assure you all it is mighty fine tackle

looking good.. nice plants and some ok looking hash too..
Thats the one thing i do miss about not buying my herb.
I never get to see any black anymore..
finding two types at once gotta be a result innit.

All coming along nicely, one of my Church plants looks a bit odd as the stems are not symmetrical, instead of 2 stems if has one etc.

The Church seems to be growing quite rapidly, the Cheese not as quick but all good generally, The Church plants are starting to smell too

Will be putting the Church ones out soon.

Have you been turning your plants regularly? If not asymmetry could be down to sun falling on one side of plant and not the other.

Probably not been turning as much as I should to be fair. I just repotted them today, the Church are looking sweet, they will be going outdoors soon!!!

Ill get some pics up over next few days but both the Church and Cheese are coming on just fine on my bedroom window, it stinks the room out but hey, such is life

Church plants are about 1.5 foot high now with the Cheese following behind.

Nice one guy, a sunny and dry autumn i wish for you...

Got a long 6 months to wait...

Interesting to see how that church does in the south east

Them windowsill plants are looking great for windowsill veggers.

nice plants, looking good man.

ull enjoy a bit of church, and i can only assume that cheese will be lovely if it finishes.

starway

hi martin hows you im in the south east to and got 4 church to go out soon to have you done the church before?? good luck with your grow

do they really smell already? Your windows look dead posh

hey martininlondon! Great looking plants man, i can never get plants to grow like that on a windowsill! Ur fingers must be greener than mine! I'm also growing the church and cheese (although my cheese is from GH) but im in the extreme sw so will be cool to see the difference in the final result! How are you going about it plot wise, ie ferts etc?
Any way all the best mate! HJ

Happy times

The 3 biggest plants (Top pic on the right) are Church and the other smaller ones are Cheese. I have topped the Church ones and will be topping the Cheese ones this weekend

EDIT - Gonna be repotting them at the weekend, get them in some nice big pots and let them grow like maniacs.

MORE EDIT - One thing I picked up from site which has proved very valuable is for this years outdoor grow I made sure the soil was almost bone dry before I watered. My last grow (Not documented here) was probably over watered but it still turned out well. These ones I have waited and only watered when either the soil was very dry or when they drooped and looked like they needed a drink, I reckon it is paying off because they seem to be growing great guns. Really enjoying this grow, its been no hassle so far, just a drink now and again, no nutes as yet but I plan on getting some slow release ones into the soil.

Kin' ell, they're huge

Yup

Thats what I want, all gonna go to make 3 balls of hash for me, one for each strain

Very nice Martin,impressive If yours do Ok,I might have to beg around and try to get a cheese cut early next year

Ahh sorry I should have said, this is Big Budda Cheese not the other one. Sorry.

Still looks good Martin,no worries

Bit of a disaster

The wind seems to have claimed one of my plants

I have taped it up but it dont look good for this sexy lady



Any ideas folks?

Click to view attachment

seal the wound and prop it up u might be able to save it Maybe........

Stake it and tape it properly,hope its one of the Churches because it might be a good idea to pray

Argh shit! Similar happened with my LR2, but luckily I had lower branches...tape 'n' pray!

Dunno how I missed this , but I will be keeping an eye out for updates,
Good luck

she'll be fine .. in fact that what does not kill us makes us stronger .. just a bit of LST gone psycho .. as BP said .. tape her up and stake .. she'll go ballistic once shes recovered ..

I snapped a plant belonging to my mates brother before and another friend splinted the break and taped it , long time ago , memory of it is a bit vague. The plant recovered well though , i was amazed at the time , and relieved . Prolly too late for that sucka now thoiugh , if you havn't taken steps , still though.
Good luck with your mission .

i put out 10 of the church last year. didn't get much off it, i had two sites, unfortunately i had the church in the more shaded of the two plots , so poor yield but good resistance to bud rot. pity i put passion no.1 in the sunnier plot, as they budded nicely, then rotted badly. but that was in a poor summer, crazy amounts of rain and little sun. i haven't put anything out this year, but the church would probably be a strain i would go for. good luck with it this year, it seems we're due a scorching summer

This plants appears to be alive

I have repotted everything in massive flexi tub things today with plenty of holes in the bottom.

Buried the broken lady pretty much up to where the break is, she seems to be pulling through and with Gods help she will conquer this terrible affliction

Trainspotting!

Good spot there Pots, I did wonder as I posted it if someone would pick up on it

Growing is all about leisure, pleasure, my pleasure in other peoples leisure

looking nice mate
planted mine outside today
6 feminized hope all goes well
AMNESIA LEMON
WHITE RHINO
LSD
ALASKAN ICE
PAMIR GOLD
SWISS CHEESE

Sorry, I have seen this film a lot but this scene still makes me laugh out loud

Those plants are looking very nice . Hope the broken one is healing up well, in my opinion it's often better to not stake a plant at all rather than tying it halfway as this concentrates the stress on the stem into a single point rather than letting the whole stem bend to take the stress.

looking nice martin shame about the broken one let us know if she pulls through. i wanted to do churhc this year but was sold onut on the site i orderd from. good luck mate and keep us updated matey.

How they doing martin? - desperate to know!
I also have one church on the go although she's not quite as advanced as yours...
Bit of a geeky question for ya', what comp mix have you been growing in?

best of luck doncha.
MR K

Hi mate, they are doing grand. They are in B&Q compost, cant remember the name but its the multi purpose one that comes in a purple ish bag? Its the standard fair from B&Q. I put no nutes in as yet though I am about to start with fish mix me thinks.

The broken lady appears to have pulled through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
