Ferinky —

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

Ferinky Week of a lot of rain for this time, the growth isn't very fast but she looks healthy and happy :)

Ferinky This week has been very sunny and hot, she continues her steady growth rhythm. You can already see a good change from last week to this one.

Ferinky This week it has grown like a champion and I was 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.

Ferinky Transplant week to its final 35L pot and saying goodbye to the black pots that were burning the roots with the heat these days. 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 Coconut Perlite Vermiculite Horse, goat, and sheep manure Homemade compost Clay pebbles 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 cake 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 Mycorrhizae and Trichoderma tablet in the transplant hole. Cheers and thanks for stopping by!

Ferinky She's very happy in her new pot, I'm still applying LST, 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 their current state, they're starting to stretch to prepare for the pre-flowers. Last week I adjusted the LST wires and did the final defoliation trim.

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 spray of Bacillus Thuringiensis to prevent caterpillar attacks. I'm still alternating watering with water one day and 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 Ascophillum, 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 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’d say it will be a couple of weeks longer.

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 fluffy, with little resin, but they smell good.

Ferinky The cultivation is coming to an end, there are only a few days left until the harvest. It still asks for water, although to a lesser extent.
