Ferinky This week has been rainy for the season, but they have appreciated it since excessive heat can be bad with the small size they have.

Ferinky Week of sun and a lot of heat, however, it has continued its evolution correctly.

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 to transplant into the final 30L pot. I’m using a 100% organic supersoil for the transplant. I removed the LST wires to make the transplant easier and will leave it without them for a couple of days. For the supersoil, I used my own mix composed of: Peat Worm humus Coco Perlite Vermiculite Horse, goat, and sheep manure Homemade compost Clay pellets for drainage To which I 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 will place a Mycorrhizae and Trichoderma tablet in the transplant hole. Best regards and thanks for stopping by!

Ferinky The transplant has done wonders for her, I'm still applying LST even though she's a bit resistant to opening her branches. I've added expanded clay and vermiculite on top of the substrate to improve water retention and keep unwanted insects away. Cheers!

Ferinky I’ve watered with Cannazym to facilitate nutrient absorption. I keep tightening the LST wires and defoliating. Cheers!

Ferinky Her growth is progressing well as I tension the wires and prune her. 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 nutrients; with the initial mix of supersoil, she seems to have everything she needs.

Ferinky I couldn't update on week 11, but here is 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 trimming.

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 continue to alternate watering with water one day and Ascophyllum Nodosum the next day. I've stopped watering with Cannazym.

Ferinky This week, it has started to fatten its flowers, and you can already appreciate its smell. 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 received its first summer storm, but it handled it without problems thanks to the branches being secured with LST wire. I took the opportunity to do a light defoliation and clean off dead leaves. I've watered once with Ascophyllum, another time 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 yellowing, 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 early October, and by the looks of it, that seems right.

Ferinky This week I've only watered with water, since last week they received a watering of Ascophyllum at the beginning of the week and the rest were waterings. The buds are fluffy and dense, full of resin and with an intense sweet smell.

Ferinky Last update before the harvest. The trichomes already seem to be just right, so tonight or tomorrow I will proceed with the trimming and cutting.

Ferinky Hello and thanks for stopping by to check out my diary. I've grown this strain before and I'm looking for a resinous variety with a cheese flavor. The plant grew without any issues and only suffered from some deficiencies towards the end of the flowering stage. Since it was a 100% organic grow and I only used tap water for irrigation without adding liquid fertilizers, it was expected. I think with some adjustments to the substrate mix, I could have achieved better results, although adding all the nutrients to the substrate made it easier for me to manage watering and avoid root washing. The plant developed in a 30L pot and produced 175g of dry, fluffy buds with a very good flower-to-leaf ratio. The smell of the wet flowers was very intense and sweet. Regarding pests and diseases, it was very resistant; I didn't notice any signs of spider mites, aphids, or thrips thanks to the addition of Neem meal in the substrate. I also didn't suffer the dreaded and usual attack from caterpillars (neither leaf caterpillars nor bud caterpillars) thanks to the sprays at key times with Bacillus Thuringiensis. It was also unaffected by powdery mildew, which usually appears at the end of flowering in my area, nor by botrytis. The climate has also been favorable this year; I live in a warm area where the temperature is usually optimal for outdoor cannabis growing. In May, it rained pleasantly on a few days, while June, July, and August were particularly dry, with only a couple of nights of rain at the end of August, and September has also been very respectful, raining only twice. For all these reasons, being the first time I made a supersoil, I'm sure that for the 2022 season, I will repeat the system, making some adjustments to the mix to avoid the deficiencies I've mentioned. I want to thank Growdiaries.com for the tool they provide 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 consistent week after week, which has directly influenced the good final result of the harvest. I also want to thank everyone who passed by during the follow-up, as they gave me the necessary support to improve my grow. Best regards. Ferinky
