Rainbows

Ferinky Hello! I germinated the seed a few weeks ago, applied the apical cut, and I'm using wires for LST. The plant has been growing with good vigor from the start in a 3L pot. A few days ago, I transplanted it to a 30L pot with a homemade supersoil. For the supersoil, I used my own mix made up 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 rest for 8 weeks, moist in the final pot, so it would be ready to use on transplant day. And finally, I placed a tablet of Mycorrhizae and Trichoderma in the transplant hole. The idea is to water only with water and let the substrate provide all the necessary nutrients for all its life stages. Best regards and thanks for stopping by!

Ferinky I’ve watered with Cannazym to facilitate nutrient absorption. I keep 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 watering, with one just tap water and in another 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 early October, although by its appearance I would 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 hard and heavy, full of resin and with a strong sweet smell.

Ferinky The harvest day is getting closer, it's still asking for water although its demand has decreased compared to previous weeks. I'm checking the trichomes, waiting for the optimal point.

Ferinky Hello and thanks for stopping by to check out my diary. I received this strain through a promotional package of 2 seeds in an online purchase. I gave one to my brother to grow, and after reading the strain profile on BSF Seeds, it seemed like an excellent choice to add to my outdoor garden. The plant grew without any problems, with a lot of vigor, many branches, and adapting perfectly to LST. Since it was a 100% organic grow and only watered with tap water without adding liquid fertilizers, some deficiencies were to be expected, although they didn't show up until well into the flowering stage. The fact that I added all the nutrients to the substrate allowed me to simplify the watering task and avoid having to do a root wash. The plant developed in a 30L pot and produced 150g of dry buds, very dense and with an excellent flower-to-leaf ratio. The smell of the wet flowers was strong, sweet, and fruity. 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 usual 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 my area, nor botrytis despite the buds being dense and full of resin, 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, and 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. 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 mentioned. 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 necessary support to improve my grow. Best regards. Ferinky
