Ed Rosenthal Regular

Ferinky Week with few changes, they are in the shade to avoid the excessive heat of these days. Irrigation is practically unnecessary these days. Greetings and good smoke

Ferinky Hi! First of all, sorry for not being able to update Week 2. These 14 days have been in the shade under the protective canvas, the growth has been slow but steady :) The three plants look healthy, they have received a little osmosis water according to their needs. From now on they will be directly in the sun as the weeks of explosive growth begin. I have taken advantage of these weeks to get the pots ready with the supersoil where they will be transplanted 2 weeks before flowering. SUPERSOIL: - 3/15 quality universal substrate base - Worm humus 3/15 - Coconut fiber 4/15 - Perlite 2/15 - Vermiculite 1/15 - Mature horse, chicken and sheep manure 1/15 - Homemade compost 1/15 ORGANIC FERTILIZERS: - Rock flour 5g / L - Blood meal 1g / L - Fish meal 1g / L - Epsom salts 1g / L - Dolomite 1g / L - Neem flour 2g / L - Bone meal 2g / L - Bat guano 5g / L - Seaweed extract 2g / L - Mycorrhizae and Trichodermas 1 tablet / pot After mixing everything, I add water and let the mixture rest for at least 1 month. With this substrate I will not have to add fertilizers to the irrigation water during the entire crop. I will only use osmosis water. Greetings and thanks for stopping by to see us.

Ferinky This week has been rainy and they have appreciated it.

Ferinky This week has been full of sun and heat, they've grown quite a bit since last week. It's clear that one of the 3 is lagging behind in growth while the other 2 are growing identically. I'm waiting for them to show their sex in the next few days so I can proceed to take cuttings and start training to control their height.

Ferinky This week it has grown like a champion and I've been able to take cuttings to keep the variety in case I like it. The apical cut was made halfway up the plant to take advantage of the cuttings, and the side branches are being trained with LST using wire. I also removed the less useful leaves and shoots.

Ferinky This week it was time for transplanting to the final pot, but since I still don't know their sex, I've decided to do an intermediate transplant to a 6L pot to avoid planting a male in a 50L pot. I'm using a 100% organic supersoil for the transplant. Once they show their sex, the females will go into the big pot and the males... we'll see what we do with them. I removed the LST wires to make the transplant easier and I'll leave it for a couple of days without them. For the supersoil, I used my own mix made up of: Peat Worm humus Coco Perlite Vermiculite Horse, goat, and sheep manure Homemade compost Clay pellets for drainage I added the following organic fertilizers: Blood meal Bone meal Fish meal Rock meal Dolomite Epsom salts Bat guano Seaweed extracts Neem cake I let the mix sit for 8 weeks, moist in the final pot, so it would be ready to use on transplant day. And finally, I'll place a Mycorrhizae and Trichoderma tablet in the transplant hole. Cheers and thanks for stopping by!

Ferinky The 3 plants still haven't shown their sex, but they have recovered from their deficiencies thanks to the transplant from a 3L pot to a 6L one. It's not much, but it's noticeable that the 3 liters of the new substrate was all they needed to continue their growth. Best regards!

Ferinky This week, one of them finally showed its female sex, so it was transplanted into its final 50L pot using a homemade supersoil. For the supersoil, I used my own mix composed of: Peat Worm humus Coco Perlite Vermiculite Horse, goat, and sheep manure Homemade compost Clay pebbles for drainage I also added the following organic fertilizers: Blood meal Bone meal Fish meal Rock meal Dolomite Epsom salts Bat guano Seaweed extracts Neem meal I let the mix rest for 8 weeks, moist in the final pot, so it would be ready to use on transplant day. And finally, I placed a tablet of Mycorrhizae and Trichoderma in the transplant hole. Cheers and thanks for stopping by!

Ferinky Out of the 3 regular seeds, one has turned out to be female and the other two are males, so they have been discarded. It's growing at a good pace while I tighten the wires and prune it. I'm alternating the waterings, one with just tap water and the other I add Cannazym. So far, after more than two months of life, I haven't added any fertilizer; with the initial mix of supersoil, it seems to have everything it needs.

Ferinky I couldn't update on week 11, but here we have its current state; it's starting to stretch to prepare for the pre-flowers. Last week I adjusted the LST wires and did the last defoliation pruning.

Ferinky These are the days when the transition to flowering really starts to show. I'm fertilizing for the first time with solid seaweed extract (Ascophyllum Nodosum) at a rate of 0.5g/L, alternating with watering with just water and another watering with Cannazym.

Ferinky In this update, I'm including 2 weeks since it was impossible for me to add the previous week due to work. On August 15th, it received the second spraying of Bacillus Thuringiensis to prevent caterpillar attacks. I'm still alternating watering with water one day and watering with Ascophyllum Nodosum the next day. I've stopped watering with Cannazym.

Ferinky This week it has started to show its flowers and is finishing stretching. I continue to alternate waterings of just water with one of water with 100% organic bio-stimulant Ascophyllum Nodosum: Alginate acid 16% Mannitol 4% Nitrogen 2.5% Soluble Potassium oxide 18.5% It will also receive its third spraying of Bacillus Thuringiensis to protect it from caterpillars.

Ferinky This week it got its first summer storm, but it handled it without any issues thanks to the branches being secured with LST wire. I took the opportunity to do a light defoliation and clean off the dead leaves. I've watered once with Ascophyllum, once with Cannazym, and the rest just water; it's been drinking about 3-4 liters every day for 40 days.

Ferinky Final stretch of flowering, the buds keep fattening up, the leaves are turning yellow, and the smell is getting more intense. This week I'm including a general photo from all angles. According to the seed bank, the harvest should be ready by mid-September, although by the looks of it, I would say it will take a few more days.

Ferinky This week I've only watered with water, as last week it received a watering of Ascophyllum at the beginning of the week and the rest were waterings. The buds are big, hard, and heavy, full of resin and with an intense smell.

Ferinky This week there were a couple of stormy nights, luckily I was able to shelter it under an improvised greenhouse and it didn't suffer any damage. It's still asking for quite a bit of water, although not as much as a few weeks ago. There's not much time left until the harvest, the buds are hard and heavy, but its branches seem to hold the weight without any issues.

Ferinky I grew this Ed Rosenthal from 3 regular seeds, 2 males and 1 female ended up in a 50L pot. The plants grew without any problems except for some deficiencies that appeared too early, especially nitrogen. Being a 100% organic grow and only using tap water for irrigation without adding liquid fertilizers was to be expected, although the final result leaves me very satisfied. Additionally, the fact that I added all the nutrients to the substrate made it easier to manage watering and I didn't have to do any root washing. The yield has been spectacular, just as Sensi Seeds indicates in the strain description. The smell of the wet flowers was quite intense. Regarding pests and diseases, it has been very resistant; I haven't noticed signs of spider mites, aphids, or thrips thanks to the addition of Neem cake in the substrate. I also didn't suffer the dreaded and usual caterpillar attack (neither the leaf caterpillar nor the bud caterpillar) thanks to the sprays at key times with Bacillus Thuringiensis. It was also not affected by Powdery Mildew, which usually appears at the end of flowering in my area; I saw some botrytis when I harvested, but the Mycorrhizae and Trichoderma tablet worked perfectly, not only reinforcing the root system but also against invasive fungi. The climate has also been favorable this year; I live in a warm area where the temperature is usually optimal for outdoor cannabis cultivation. In May, it rained pleasantly on a few days, June, July, and August were especially dry, with only a couple of rainy nights at the end of August, and September has also been very respectful, raining only twice. For all these reasons, being the first time I make a supersoil, I'm sure that for the 2022 season I will repeat the system, making some adjustments to the mix to avoid these deficiencies I've mentioned. I want to thank Growdiaries.com for the tool it provides us growers (in my case, a clandestine grower) to track our crops and how, in my particular case, it has kept my motivation and work constant week after week, which has directly influenced the good final result of the harvest. Also, thanks to everyone who passed by during the follow-up, as they gave me the necessary support to improve my grow. Best regards. Ferinky
