Sour Ripper

Ferinky Hello, I'm starting the follow-up after the transplant to the final 30L pot. I'm using a 100% organic supersoil for the transplant. 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. Best regards and thanks for stopping by!

Ferinky She is very happy in her new pot, I keep applying LST, I’ve added expanded clay and vermiculite on the substrate to improve water retention and prevent unwanted insects. Best regards!

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

Ferinky Her growth is on track, while I tighten the wires and prune her. I alternate 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 for week 11, but here we have 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 Ascophyllum Nodosum the next day. I've stopped watering with Cannazym.

Ferinky This week it has started to fatten up its flowers and you can already appreciate its smell. I continue alternating water-only irrigations 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. It's showing a pink hue in the pistils that I love 😍

Ferinky This week it got its first summer storm, one of its 5 main branches broke due to the wind and weight. 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 mid-October.

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

Ferinky The harvest is very close, I'm checking the trichomes daily.

Ferinky I grew this strain from a feminized seed, in a 50L pot. The plants grew without any problems except for some deficiencies that showed up early, especially nitrogen. Since it was a 100% organic grow and I only used tap water without adding liquid fertilizers, it was expected, although the final result leaves me very satisfied. Additionally, the fact that I added all the nutrients to the substrate made watering easier and I didn't have to perform root flushing. The yield has been very good, considering that one of its 5 main branches broke at the beginning of flowering. The smell of the wet flowers was quite intense. Regarding pests and diseases, it has been very resistant; I haven't noticed 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 common attack from caterpillars (neither leaf caterpillars nor bud caterpillars) thanks to the sprays at key times with Bacillus Thuringiensis. It was also not affected by powdery mildew, which usually appears at the end of flowering in the area where I live, nor was there any trace of Botrytis, 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, 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 2 times. 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 these 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. Also, thanks to everyone who passed by during the follow-up as they gave me the necessary support to improve my grow. Best regards. Ferinky
