Tutankhamon

Ferinky It germinated correctly in a few days. So far, everything is good.

Ferinky This week it has rained quite a bit, and she has continued her growth as expected.

Ferinky Week of lots of sun and heat, and she's continuing her growth perfectly.

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 to the final 50L 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 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 will place a Mycorrhizae and Trichoderma tablet in the transplant hole. Cheers and thanks for stopping by!

Ferinky The transplant has worked great 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.

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

Ferinky 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 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 switch 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 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 defend 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 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 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 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 fluffy, hard, and heavy, full of resin and with a strong 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 problems.

Ferinky Hello and thanks for stopping by to check out my diary. This is my first time growing Tutankhamon from Pyramid Seeds, and I was looking for the flavor and potency of the old AK-47 along with a good yield. For the most part, my wishes came true. The plant grew without any issues except for some deficiencies typical at the end of the flowering stage. Since it was a 100% organic grow and I only used tap water for watering without adding any liquid fertilizers, it was expected, and 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 plant developed in a 50L pot and produced 200g of dry, hard, dense, and heavy buds, with a good flower-to-leaf ratio. The smell of the wet flowers was somewhat earthy and pleasant. Regarding pests and diseases, it has been very resistant; I didn’t notice any 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 unaffected by powdery mildew, which usually appears at the end of flowering in my area, nor by botrytis, so the mycorrhizae and Trichoderma tablets 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, 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. Because of all this, being my first time making a supersoil, I’m sure I’ll repeat the system for the 2022 season, making some adjustments to the mix to avoid the deficiencies I mentioned. In week 5, I explain the mix I used to create the supersoil. 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 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 necessary support to improve my grow. Best regards. Ferinky
