Is your grow space full of weak yields and bland flavors?

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve grown a lot of cheese strains, but Sweet Cheese XL Auto stands out. Last season, I ran six plants in 20L pots under a Mars Hydro SP3000, and they stretched hard—up to 1.10 m—but responded perfectly to low-stress training. The smell hit me at week 4; it was unreal, like walking into a deli full of aged Gouda with a twist of lemon. I used P-Boost in week 5, and the bud density jumped noticeably. Harvested at 60 days: trichomes were milky with a hint of amber. After a 3-week cure, the flavor was smooth, rich, and long-lasting. Even my non-smoker friend noticed the aroma. If you want a fast, reliable, and truly aromatic grow, this is your strain.
