Wembley

Ferinky After germinating correctly, a couple of weeks passed and she evolved perfectly. This week it got really hot and she kept growing as expected.

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. I did the apical cut 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 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 for a couple of days without them. 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 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 —

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

Ferinky It's growing at a good pace while I tension 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 nutrients; 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 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'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, its flowers have started to fatten up, 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 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, but from its appearance, I would say it will take a few more days.

Ferinky This week I've only watered with water; last week they received a watering of Ascophyllum at the beginning of the week and the rest were waterings. The buds are fluffy and heavy, full of resin and with a very strong, somewhat spicy smell.

Ferinky The harvest day is approaching, even though it's still producing new flowers. The smell is strong, penetrating, and somewhat spicy. I'm only watering with water, and I'll keep it that way until I cut it.

Ferinky Hello and thanks for stopping by to check out my diary. I had previously grown this Wembley from Pyramid Seeds, and I liked it because it was a very productive plant, with good flavor and a strong kick. 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 irrigation without adding 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 allowed me to make watering easier and avoid root washing. The plant developed in a 50L pot and produced 225g of dry, fluffy, elongated buds with a decent flower-to-leaf ratio. The smell of the wet flowers was very citrusy and spicy, with a hint of heat. 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 common 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 tablet worked perfectly, not only strengthening the root system but also against invasive fungi. The weather has also been kind to me this year; I live in a warm area where the temperature is usually optimal for outdoor cannabis cultivation. In May, it rained pleasantly on some 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 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 these deficiencies I've mentioned. In week 5, I explain the mix I used to make the supersoil. 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 stopped by during the follow-up as they gave me the necessary support to improve my grow. Best regards. Ferinky
