Indoor Growing Tips
For indoor cultivation, Blue Cheese requires a controlled environment with good ventilation to thrive, preferring a warm and slightly cooler night-time temperature. This strain is adaptable to soil and hydroponics, though it demands a nutrient-rich medium and careful pH balance. Effective training techniques like topping and pruning are crucial to manage its moderate growth and encourage higher yields.
With a flowering time of 7-8 weeks, growers should aim for a light intensity of 600-1000 watts per square meter and ensure twelve hours of uninterrupted darkness during the flowering stage to promote optimal bud development, while closely monitoring to prevent mold in its dense buds. Indoor yields can reach 450-500g/m².
Outdoor Growing Tips
Outdoors, Blue Cheese prospers in sunny, well-drained spots within a warm, dry climate, benefiting significantly from organic fertilizers to enhance both plant health and soil quality. This strain demonstrates a robust resistance to pests and molds, making it suitable for various climates, especially if growers maintain a vigilant pest management regimen with organic solutions.
It reaches maturity by the end of September or October, with outdoor plants capable of yielding 500-550 grams each under optimal conditions. Adjusting humidity levels and ensuring plants have enough space to reach their potential height of up to 7 feet are key considerations for outdoor growers to maximize sunlight exposure and airflow around the plants.
