Monster Profit

Ferinky —

Ferinky After 2 weeks in the shade, it looks good. The cares are being practically null these days.

Ferinky Week with several days of rain, so I didn't have to water them. They look healthy and continue to grow as expected.

Ferinky Week of a lot of sun and heat, dry air, and this may have caused some leaves to burn. I moved it to a shadier area to help it recover.

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 in the middle of 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. It suffered an attack from a couple of caterpillars, nothing serious.

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 Expanded clay 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 sit 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. Cheers and thanks for stopping by!

Ferinky I'm following the growth in its new pot, I'm still applying LST with the wires. I've added expanded clay and vermiculite on top of the substrate to improve water retention and prevent unwanted insects. Cheers!

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

Ferinky Her growth is progressing well as I tighten 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 final 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 I couldn’t 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 plain 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 already finishing its stretch. I continue alternating 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 problems thanks to the branches being tied down with LST wire. I took the opportunity to do a light defoliation and clean off the 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 the end of September, although by its appearance, I would say it will take another month.

Ferinky This week I only watered once with Ascophyllum at the beginning of the week, and the rest were waterings with plain water. The buds are still forming slowly, and there's already a certain lemon smell coming through.

Ferinky Finally, it's really starting to form its buds, and with a pretty strong citrus smell.

Ferinky Hello and thanks for stopping by to check out my diary. This is my first time growing this Monster Profit from Heavyweight Seeds. The plant grew without issues until flowering, which was quite slow at first, accompanied by some deficiencies related to the substrate and its high nutrient demand. 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 satisfied. Additionally, the fact that I added all the nutrients to the substrate made watering easier and eliminated the need for root washing. The plant developed in a 50L pot and produced 110g of dry, dense buds covered in resin with a pretty good flower-to-leaf ratio. The smell of the wet flowers was between sweet and haze. 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 one) 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 botrytis despite being dense, resin-filled buds, so the Mycorrhizae and Trichoderma tablet worked perfectly, not only strengthening 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, 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 my first time making a supersoil, I’m sure I will repeat the system for the 2022 season, making some adjustments to the mix to avoid the deficiencies I mentioned. In week 7, I explain in detail the ingredients I used to make the supersoil. I want to thank Growdiaries.com for the tool it provides to 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 stopped by during the follow-up as they gave me the support I needed to improve my grow. Best regards. Ferinky
