deFharo Welcome, clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those lucky enough not to be! 🙋‍♂️👨‍🌾 It's the second week since seed, and the seedling is standing proud as it establishes itself in the pot. This week, I expect noticeable progress. During the day, the seedlings are in front of a window receiving filtered sunlight, and at night they go to their temporary grow tent. Yesterday, I added a side LED panel with diffuse light and a color temperature of 6400K. Until next time...

deFharo Welcome clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those lucky enough not to be one!✋👨‍🌾 Third week of life for this serious and exotic strain, the seedling is having trouble growing, slowly getting stronger at the cost of auto-consuming the tips of the leaves. I'm sure it will thrive; it's just a matter of care and patience! During the day, it's already exposed to direct sunlight, and at night in the grow tent, very short internodes are already noticeable. But not everything is happiness; yesterday my dog did a "defoliation" on all my seedlings, my fault for putting them within his reach. The little nibbled leaves, the seedlings lying on the substrate, a disaster I'm trying to fix. I've had to put supports to keep the stems upright. In the end, I think all the seedlings will survive, and not only that, because if this doesn't kill them, they'll end up being stronger... let's play for life! To compensate for the trauma, today I've prepared a watering solution made of mountain water and nettle tea. This will provide nutrients and minerals, mainly silicon to strengthen the entire plant, and it will also promote rooting and favor microbial life. Until next time...

deFharo Welcome, clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those lucky enough not to be one! 🙋‍♂️👨‍🌾 Fourth week of life for this serious and exotic strain, the seedling is settling into the pot and showing growth and strength; I’m going to wait a few more days before transplanting. These days I’m keeping the seedlings with very light watering mixes, and as I start transplanting the seedlings, I’ll begin with nutrient watering, foliar applications, etc. The idea is to keep them in the final pot for 4 weeks before moving to flowering; during this time, I need to expand the roots as much as I can.

deFharo Welcome clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those who are lucky enough not to be!🙋‍♂️🌱 Almost the fifth week of life for this serious and exotic strain, today is transplant day, the big game begins for this seedling! Finally, it’s going into an old school 11L pot with homemade side aeration... let’s play! For now, I’ve placed the pot in the homemade tent with the smaller seedlings to take advantage of the blue light! Today, I want to talk a bit about the substrate I’ve prepared for this seedling. This growing season, I’m going to compare two substrate mixes: this one, primarily made of commercial components, and another with homemade substrate and nutrients. Check out other diaries today to see the difference... In this case, I’ve used reused substrate from my previous season and commercial grow light substrate in equal parts (27%). I’ve added commercial horse compost (20%), Coco Fiber previously inoculated 15 days ago with Mountain Microorganisms (MM) and Bio nutrients (20%), also 10% Worm Humus, 7% Perlite, 3% Vermiculite, 3% river gravel, and for the first time, I’m going to use rice husk in the substrate mix (7%). I hope this material serves the same purpose as perlite in aerating the substrate, with the difference that the husk is organic matter rich in silicon, and as it decomposes, it will pass silicon to the plants. Finally, I add 17 powdered minerals (3%) at a rate of 1g per liter of soil, mix everything, and fill the pot. I differentiate three groups of components in this substrate: - A nutritious, structured, and aerated base prepared to receive and reproduce microbiology: Substrate, coco, humus, and compost. - More aeration with perlite and husk, moisture retention and nutrients with vermiculite. - And finally, the mineralization of the substrate to compensate for its plant nature and ensure the presence of the entire range of inorganic elements from the periodic table. Also, thanks to the mix of 6 clays, I achieve better nutrient assimilation through the cation exchange of the clays... all for the cause! Preparing these substrates is laborious, but it motivates me a lot. I consider the growing soil sacred; I love kneading the substrate mix, adding components, and feeling how with each new component, the structure, texture, or smell of the substrate changes. Before the transplant, I thoroughly moistened the small pot. The root ball came out quite well; I buried the root ball, sunk the stem, and won’t water until tomorrow. I want the excess moisture from the small pot to spread through the surrounding substrate. Tomorrow, the plant will be thirsty, and I’ll start with the first waterings. In previous seasons, I did a deep watering for the entire substrate; this season, I’m going to start with less water, trying to expand the roots efficiently and orderly. For now, I’ll water while trying not to wet the center of the pot, which has enough moisture from the hydrated coco and mainly the horse compost. This way, I want to maintain the aeration of the entire substrate and make it easy for the roots to expand. I noticed in the previous season that the center of some pots wasn’t sufficiently populated with roots. Over time, I’ll moisten the base of the pot so that the roots quickly travel through the pot, drawn by that moisture at the base. I plan to start with 500ml on top and 500ml below. When I previously grew in this same pot, I started with a 3L watering that took almost 10 days to consume. I think it was counterproductive because the water invaded the entire substrate, displacing oxygen for too many days. The roots mostly grew towards the sides of the pot, where they found more oxygen! Once I do this first watering, I’ll cover the substrate with a good layer of mulch from the mulch rescued from previous crops, a lot of semi-processed and humified organic matter, and a lot of latent microbiology. I also have a very precious box with all the remains of leaves, branches, and roots from previous crops and the sticks from the marijuana I smoke, food for the substrate microbes, so they can start reproducing happily. For me, collecting dry organic matter is almost a ritual; I make use of everything from the plants I harvest. I only get rid of the thickest stems and return to the earth what was born from the earth, creating a life cycle with which I aim not only to imitate the processes of the forest but also to advance further on the path of self-sufficiency, rebellion, or independence. The great limitations and conditions of indoor growing in pots pose a significant challenge to achieve this, but I believe in what I do, it entertains me a lot, and I don’t stop playing and understanding... simplifying the complex!! While talking about substrate, I’ve smoked a good fox tail bud from the Colombia Punto Rojo from last season; it’s the best weed I’ve tried in a long time, I love it! Until next time...

deFharo Welcome clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those lucky enough not to be one! 🖐️👨‍🌾 Almost six weeks into the life of this serious and exotic strain, the seedling, after some burns from a couple of foliar applications, continues to establish itself in the pot normally. I've removed the affected leaves... I've understood the message, my queen, you are a sensitive strain that needs to be handled with care! The old school pot evaporates less water than the textile pots, for this reason, I've been cautious with the amount of watering to avoid saturating the substrate. For now, the rice seeds that come with the husk I've used in the substrate are exploding everywhere... long live life! I keep the plants day and night in my main tent. I've cleaned it, disinfected it, organized the cables, and installed a new fan system, which I'll talk about later. Now that the plants are still small, I take advantage of some of them to soak up a few hours of the autumn sun... all for the cause! Five days ago, I completed the pot setup. I added a thin layer of a mix of pre-cooked dry amendments with microorganisms and mulch remnants from previous crops, moistened the mix with mountain water, molasses, and Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), and covered it all with a good layer of dry organic matter from defoliations and branch remnants from last season's crops. For me, collecting organic matter for mulch is an essential practice in my growing style. To speed up the decomposition of this organic matter (OM), I moistened everything with LAB, particularly effective for the decomposition of OM and molasses, and I also did a foliar application with the same mix. A day later, I watered with a mix of Bio nutrients with MMA and hormones from various sources (auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellic acid). With this, I aim to boost root and cellular development. It also seems that my use of a smaller amount of watering mix is helping with a quick establishment in the pot. Now, I’m mainly trying to develop roots in the center of the pot and downwards because later, as the crop progresses and the amount of watering increases, the plant will naturally expand roots towards the sides of the pot, but I’ll only be able to confirm all this when I harvest.

deFharo Welcome clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those fortunate enough not to be one! 🙋‍♂️👨‍🌾 Seven weeks into the life of this serious and exotic strain, the plant has made a great stretch this week, the trunk has taken on a beautiful purple hue, it’s definitely a sexotic strain! The plant grows surrounded by rice seed sprouts that came with the substrate along with the rice hulls I'm using this year in substrate mixes to try to replace perlite. These beautiful sprouts indicate, for example, the moisture level at the top, as none of them have more than 3cm of root; in this old-school pot, many more have sprouted than in the fabric pots because there is less evaporation overall. The sight of the grow is fantastic! I did an apical cut 3 days ago, two waterings this week with the first soluble Bio nutrients, and a foliar application with my enzymatic hydrolyzed fresh blood: Hydro Blood (amino acids) and my Lacto seaweed ferment, I'm doing one foliar application per week, this time I’m making the exact mix, because in other seasons I’ve gotten carried away by the efficiency of foliar applications, getting too enthusiastic and in the end, I've damaged some crops due to too many consecutive applications. Well, two days later I did another foliar application with horsetail extract, it’s a natural preventive against fungi, although in winter crops due to low relative humidity there’s no danger of fungi, I do this application for the great silicon contribution that horsetail has, I want strength and elasticity in leaves and stems... let’s play! Yesterday I did the first watering with Bio nutrients after transplanting, for the mix I inaugurated a Bio ferment I made in April and have kept in anaerobic fermentation until today, it’s a very complex formula designed for the vegetative growth stage, macro and micro organic nutrients solubilized (humins, amino acids, NPK, Si, Mg, etc.), I’m going to test this Bio Fertilizer with others I have to see what conclusions I draw. Three days ago I added two side LED panels to the main tent, one of 7700K and the other blue at 450nm, so I can bring the canopy lamps closer to the plants and thus compensate for the missing lighting on the sides; for now, I have 150w in 3 canopy lamps plus 66w from the two side panels and 14w for ventilation. The truth is that all the plants are very compact with very short internodes. This season, in order to take advantage of all the horizontal space in the grow tent and have good air circulation around the tops, I installed two 22cm fans that are only 3cm thick and hung them from the spacers on opposite sides. Last season, since I filled the grow tent too much, I had 4 fans, all above the lamps, as they take up a lot of space, but I didn’t end up liking it; I had problems with bud rot in some plants, this season I’m going to solve it with these new fans, plus I’m going to save a ton of watts because the 4 fans last season consumed 72w, now the new fans that run at 12v, I have with a voltage regulator and they are working at 7.5v with a consumption of 8w and excellent air circulation. Besides these, I’m only going to have one more fan above the lamps dispersing the heat from the dimmers. Additionally, I installed an extra extractor with two 12cm PC fans placed in series; they are very quiet and I regulate the voltage, currently working at 7.5v and consuming 6w. The main extractor, very noisy, I keep off during winter seasons; for me, noise is important since I live with the grow tent in my workroom. Until next time...

deFharo Welcome clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those lucky enough not to be one!✋👨‍🌾 Almost 8 weeks into the life of this serious and exotic strain, due to the vertical growth trend this strain has been showing, 4 days ago I had to bend it hard, the trunk now grows in an "S" shape, I've tied down the upper tips, the plant resists the ties and forces me to adjust them daily, at the same time I did a major defoliation, the plant is responding very well and I hope it continues like this. I keep the lights very close to the tips to promote compactness, there are many roots at the base, I'll wait about two weeks before switching to flowering... I'm getting bored!✋😈 Until next time...

deFharo Welcome clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those fortunate enough not to be one!🙋‍♂️👨‍🌾 Almost 9 weeks into the life of this serious and exotic strain, the plant continues to grow despite numerous signs of leaf burn. It's clear that this strain is delicate and doesn't tolerate many nutrients. I've removed the burnt leaves, and despite everything, the plant has grown a lot. Its branches are extremely strong, and I've tied some branches in an attempt to tame this vigorous plant. I'm growing this plant in an old-school 11L pot with a commercial substrate mineralized with horse compost. The plant maintains a steady growth, strengthening significantly. It has shown leaf problems due to over-fertilization; probably the substrate is too loaded with nutrients. I also have to say that the waterings I've been doing have mostly been quite nutritious without worrying about anything—mistake! This week, after the last two waterings, the plant, fully established in the pot, is showing powerful and healthy growth. The lateral branches are striving to stand out, the trunk is very sturdy, and I'm working hard to shape a good canopy of branches. The light stress that I'm applying to all my crops is also helping this plant not to grow too much vertically, but still, it's a strain with a great tendency for vertical growth. In the last watering, I made a mix with bio-stimulants from algae and enzymes. In this deep watering, I reached 100% moisture in the substrate for the first time. This season, I won’t exceed 15% moisture in the pot according to the liters of substrate. In the case of this 15L pot, the total watering amount is 2200ml. Last season for this type of pot, I reached 4200ml per pot. The concept was different from this season; the substrate was much lighter in nutrients, and I was trying to emulate with soluble bio-nutrients crops in coco or something similar. The result wasn’t bad, but when I opened the pots, I observed sparse root development in the center, and I didn't like it. So this season, I'm going to allow, with less water, for the air to take the place it deserves in the substrate and thus try to improve the root development this season. This week, I also did two gentle foliar applications with my fruit bio-stimulant, blood amino acids, and nettle tea... let’s play! 🤓💃 I'm thinking of reaching 10 weeks in vegetative growth. If the height allows, I will do gentle waterings so that the plant consumes the nutrients from the substrate and releases EC load, so that in the flowering stage, I can feed without mercy with my specific soluble bio-fertilizers for this stage. I have several flowering formulas that I will debut this season. Finally, a few days ago, I added the last side LED panel (60x30cm, 4000K) to complete the light box 😁😁😁 for the vegetative growth period. When I switch to flowering, I will change the current 4 side panels (6400K, 7700K, 4000K, and 450nm) for others with warmer color temperatures. This season, I'm pushing the amount of light in vegetative growth to the extreme, and the truth is that I'm achieving a compactness in all the plants like never before. The thickness of the stems is considerable, and when I switch to flowering, these crops are going to explode!... let’s play! Until next time...

deFharo Welcome, clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those lucky enough not to be one! 🙋‍♂️👨‍🌾 Almost 10 weeks into the life of this serious and exotic strain, I continue to bend the plant with more and more ties, and she responds positively, getting stronger every day! Water consumption is increasing, watering every four days, this week two deep waterings, the first gentle with Nettle Tea and my pumpkin bio-ferment and Activated Mountain Microorganisms (MMA). The intention of this watering (EC: 0.65) was to give a boost to the crop both in the aerial part and in the root expansion. The second watering was with Humato Blood, a new formula where I chelate the humic and fulvic acids from leonardite humate (60%) with the amino acids from my enzymatic hydrolyzed fresh blood (30%). I complete the formula with bone meal (10%) which, through this process, becomes calcium triphosphate that is assimilable by the plant. The whole mix is an important contribution of Ca, P, and K. To finish the mixture, I added 1% of my fruit bio-ferment with minerals, vitamins for my girl! Finally, a bit of Ormus from the Cantabrian Sea to regulate the pH and mainly provide Mg and many other minerals. Next week will be the last in the vegetative growth stage. The plant is currently 30 cm tall, and by the end of the week, it will have a few more centimeters, but it surely won't reach 40 cm because I have intense lights above this and the other plants in the grow tent, crushing them as much as possible. With this type of lighting strategy, the trunk and branches become sturdier and thicker every day. According to the behavior of previous crops, after switching to flowering schedule, the plant can stretch up to 75% more than its initial height. For me, plants of 80 cm in height are ideal to give them plenty of photons from all sides and grow thick buds throughout the height of the plant. Additionally, unlike previous crops, I will maintain the current configuration of side lights, panels with a lot of white and blue light, to try to curb the vertical stretching of the plants in flowering. Once the plants stop stretching, which usually occurs between the second and third week after switching to flowering schedule, I will change all the side panels for others with warmer color temperatures and will turn the canopy lamps to 100%... let’s play! 🙋‍♂️😁 Until next time...

deFharo Welcome, clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those fortunate enough not to be! 🙋‍♂️👨‍🌾 Almost 11 weeks into the life of this serious and exotic strain that’s bringing color to my joy garden, the completely bent plant is happily waiting for its days of glory! Today is the last day of the vegetative growth phase; tomorrow I switch to flowering schedule 12/12h. The plant is ready; the leaf mass isn’t as dense as others, but in return, the colors of the leaves are very beautiful. The plant shows good metabolism; for now, it has some very active buds and strong branches and trunk. The water consumption is good considering the type of pot. The height today is 33cm; even though it will double in size, I don’t mind because I’m prepared for plants up to 80cm, but if they’re shorter, that’s even better. To help the plant not stretch too much while I switch to flowering schedule, I’m going to set the canopy lights to 100%, up until now they’ve been at 70%. Also, until they stop stretching (2-3 weeks), I’ll keep the white light spectra on the sides... let’s play! As a farewell to the growth stage, I’m going to keep the plants under light for 40 uninterrupted hours. I intend to give the plant a shock with the difference in light hours, from 40 to 12h. Maybe this will make them flower earlier? I don’t know, so I’m going to try! This week, a deep watering, and today a foliar application to give extra energy to the crop with my fruit lacto-ferment (vitamins...) and my hydrolyzed amino acids extracted from fresh blood (Hidro blood). In the next two weeks, the waterings I do will be with low concentration and mainly bio-stimulants. The big hormonal change that happens in the plant when switching to flowering needs peace; for me, it’s not the time for macronutrients. 🤷‍♂️ Until next time...

deFharo Welcome clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those lucky enough not to be one! 🙋‍♂️👨‍🌾 Almost 12 weeks into the life of this serious and exotic strain that's adding color to my joy garden, the plant doesn’t give up its refined elegance. Despite giving it a nutrient watering at the beginning of the week, the plant continues with not too many leaves, but they must be enough for it. I'm eager to see the formation of the buds because it has many, strong and colorful ones. It's been a plant with a great tendency for vertical growth, and I had to bend its stem to the extreme to slow down its height. So far, so good; today it measures 38cm, 5cm more than last week. A few days ago, I did a foliar application with horsetail extract as a preventive measure against fungi, since the temperatures dropped a lot and the humidity rose too high. There have been days when I've had a dehumidifier inside the grow tent; with plants that have a lot of foliage, I don’t want to take any risks. Plus, I maintain good ventilation over the plants. So far, everything is fine; I don't let the humidity rise above 70%. With the lights on, the humidity drops a lot without needing a dehumidifier. This season, I'm experimenting with two substrate mixes, also watering with less water, almost half of what I used last season, in order to aerate the substrate and facilitate root expansion, as I wasn't happy with this aspect last season. Additionally, I'm pushing the light intensity to promote compactness, leaf mass, and strengthening of branches and stems. Lastly, I'm testing my patience by letting the plants express themselves and evolve with minimal intervention. For this plant, just one apical cut and a bit of LST; otherwise, I'm still trying to mimic the forest, albeit speeding up the natural decomposition processes of raw and organic materials with my soluble Bio Fertilizers. I'm doing two things in this transition stage: - In order to slow down as much as possible the great vertical stretching that occurs in this stage, which lasts between 2 and 3 weeks according to previous grows, I increased the power of the 3 canopy lamps to 100%. They were at 70%, and I will keep the 4 side LED panels for vegetative growth with very white color spectrums (7700K, 6400K, 4000K, and 420 nm) until the stretching stops. After that, I will change them all for warmer ones with greater penetration. The plant was 33cm tall a week ago, today 38cm. I'm very happy with the height of all the crops; I’ll be able to give them a lot of light from bottom to top, without mercy!! - The waterings in these 2-3 weeks of transition are being done with EC: 0.5/6. I don’t want to disturb the plant by forcing it to eat at this stage. Once the plant stops stretching and concentrates all its energy on flower formation, I will start feeding it and giving it light without mercy or hesitation. The substrate, the roots, and I are ready... all for the cause! Until next time...

deFharo Welcome, clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those who are fortunate enough not to be! 🙋‍♂️👨‍🌾 Almost 13 weeks into the life of this serious and exotic strain that is bringing color to my joy garden, the plant remains in an elegant, beautiful, and proud calm. This week I have bent the tallest branch to even out the canopy, the plant has begun pre-flowering and I don't expect any more growth, the final size is going to be fantastic for me because I will be able to light it from the substrate to the top with intense lights. I will continue this week with the white growth lights, and next week I will make a drastic change to all the side LED panels, replacing them with others that have warmer color temperatures. Additionally, I will reinforce the canopy with two more lamps, one with diodes of 2700K+660nm (50w) and a COB of 2800K with lens (50w), I don't want any corner of the tent to be dark! 💡💡💡💡💡 The watering of this plant, during the last two weeks, as well as all the other plants, has been with low concentration and with components aimed at strengthening the plant and inoculating microorganisms for the accelerated decomposition of organic matter in the substrate, as well as the dissolution of the minerals also present in the substrate. It’s about not overfeeding, at this transition stage, with soluble fertilizers and promoting, one last time, the expansion of the roots, which will stop growing when the plant fully enters flowering. The moment the plant clearly stops growing and directs all its energy to flower formation, the big game will begin, a very intense second part with beautiful moments. Flowering is the time when a wide variety of minerals is required, more than in vegetative growth, therefore the feeding I have prepared for this stage will be very varied... all for the cause! Unlike last season, I am watering deeply but allowing the substrate to deplete more moisture in order to aerate it as much as possible between waterings. I control the exact water consumption each day, weigh my pots daily, and have an Excel sheet that calculates this and other data on the evolution of the crops. In the end, these techniques are helping me simplify the complex... every nut with their own theme! Until next time...

deFharo Welcome clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those lucky enough not to be one!✋👨‍🌾 Almost 14 weeks into the life of this serious and exotic strain that’s adding color to my joy garden, the plant has been a bit shy until now, but this week with two energetic waterings, it has awakened and expanded its leaves to capture all the light I’m going to give it. The multiple flowering buds are proudly showing off and ready to fill all the branches with monstrous colas... the enthusiasm is everything! It’s been exactly three weeks since I switched to the flowering schedule of 12/12h, the plant was 33cm tall, today it measures 47cm, but thanks to bending a branch that was sticking out too much among the others, it’s now a perfect and very manageable size... let’s play. Two days ago, I changed all the side LED panels, swapping the 6400K panel (60x30cm, 32w) for another one of 2800K. I also replaced the two side panels of 30x30cm, 32w (7700K and 450nm) with two others featuring diodes of 3000K and 660nm. Additionally, I replaced a 60x30cm and 32w panel with 4000K for two TLED bars of 50cm and 23w from Secret Jardin for flowering, with fantastic diodes of 2100K, 3000K, and IR. To finish, I completed the light canopy with two new lamps to cover the sides of the tent very well, since having the lights too close to the tips loses lateral reach. I added a COB of 2800K with a 90° lens and 50w, and on the other side of the canopy, I added a high-brightness LED panel (20x20, 50w) with diodes of 2700K and 660nm... let’s play! I’ve started to take advantage of this light change to switch the Bio Fertilizers. I began the week with a deep and concentrated watering, a boost of energy based on amino acids, humic acids, and other macro and micro Bio nutrients. Gradually, I will be watering with mixes where I will mainly enhance phosphorus and potassium. During the vegetative growth period, every 10-15 days, I’ve been adding dry amendments to the substrate at a rate of 1g per liter of soil.

deFharo Welcome clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those who are fortunate enough not to be!✋👨‍🌾 Almost 15 weeks into the life of this serious and exotic strain that is bringing color to my joy garden, I’ve kept the strong ties intact that I was forced to make to curb vertical growth; finally, all the branches have found their place neatly, and currently, the canopy of buds is spectacular and uniform. It’s been exactly four weeks since I switched to the flowering schedule of 12/12h, the plant was 33cm tall, and today it finally measures 52cm, a perfect and very manageable size... let’s play! I’ve started with new watering formulas aimed at enhancing flowering, the plant maintains a good leaf mass, although modest compared to the rest of the crops; on the other hand, the flower buds are vigorously traveling along the strong branches and are going to receive plenty of good light. This week I also completed the lighting strategy; I added a new COB 3000K with a 120° lens (50w) to the canopy so that there is powerful light on all sides and nothing is left in the shadow. Now with 6 lamps in the canopy (500w) and 5 LED side panels and bars (148w) covering the 4 corners, I total 648w. If I divide that among the 6 plants in the grow tent, that’s 108w per plant, which I believe will help me achieve maximum yield from these crops. Until next year...

deFharo Welcome, clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those lucky enough not to be one! 🙋‍♂️👨‍🌾 Almost 16 weeks into the life of this serious and exotic strain that's adding a bit of color to my joy garden. It's been exactly five weeks since I switched to the flowering schedule of 12/12h, the buds are filling up spectacularly, and the surrounding leaves are covered in trichomes, this little one is going to make some noise! These days, I'm feeding the plant with varied mixes of Bio Nutrients while also nourishing the soil with new layers of mulch that I bring from the leaves discarded by the plant itself. I grind them up and add them to the substrate; these still-green leaves have proven to be an excellent habitat for the proliferation of aerobic microbiology. Currently, all the mulch in my crops has a greasy feel to it, which is the unmistakable sign of the humification of the organic matter in the mulch. Additionally, this week I've added dry amendments like bone meal (Ca, P...) and worm guano or mealfrass (P, K, Mg...). This guano is excellent for me, as it promotes microbiology proliferation like no other and is easier to digest than classic bird or bat guanos. I also have a formula where I've solubilized this guano with Activated Mountain Microorganisms (MMA) and Fermented Grass, proving to be a fantastic compound to revive lazy crops. Until next year...

deFharo Welcome, clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those lucky enough not to be one! 🙋‍♂️👨‍🌾 Almost 17 weeks into the life of this serious and exotic strain that's adding a splash of color to my joy garden. As is traditional at this time of year, the plants and I are having big feasts with home-cooked products—no overindulgence here!—and we're all getting healthy and happy... let the party continue! 💃🕺 ••• Well, despite the low activity on GD and to avoid dying of boredom, I'm continuing my organic experimental process, and this time taking advantage of the dark, rainy day and my well-stocked marijuana stash, I'm going to explain with a joint in hand a new practice framed in the concept of "feeding and protecting the soil" that I've started to try out this week with all my pots. This practice is especially useful for those who have soil and space for outdoor crops; I don't have that space, I can only currently do indoor grows in pots, but that doesn't mean I give up on these types of techniques. If I had soil and outdoor space, I would do this practice every year during the soil's resting season. This practice consists of covering the soil with fresh green grass and immediately provoking the proliferation of certain lactobacillus, Bacillus subtilis, and a multitude of enzymes that only exist when the grass is freshly cut. Once dried, the grass becomes pure organic matter rich in silicon, which will also serve as food for the microbiology. In this diary: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/134104-grow-journal-by-defharo/week/782852 You can read about the practice of making fermented grass for use in creating Soluble Bio Fertilizers, as the bacteria and enzymes from fermented grass are particularly efficient in chelating minerals. "Fermented grass is the viable alternative for those organic growers who do not have access to fresh cow manure to create Bio Fertilizers. Fresh grass contains Lactobacillus and a multitude of enzymes, and in conjunction with Mountain Microorganisms, I create a Bio ferment with a high population of Microorganisms very efficient in: decomposing organic matter, chelating minerals, and reducing the incidence of pests and diseases in crops, as this type of ferment presents antagonistic and competitive relationships with different phytopathogenic microorganisms." What have I done and how? Yesterday, I went for a walk in the countryside to look for fresh grass, but there are hundreds of types of grass that I don't know, so the first choice to get the optimal grass is to choose those fields where cows or ruminants generally graze. I chose yesterday to collect the grass because the day before it had rained quite a bit, which ensures cleanliness from dust and impurities in the grass. I collected a good amount of fresh grass, still without seeds, mainly cutting the green leaves but also taking some roots that contain trichoderma. On the same day, when the grass is still fresh, I chop it up; this is important because the microbiology of this material is lost very quickly as the grass begins to dry. Once chopped, I mixed it with shredded marijuana leaves that I had accumulated. After that, I raked the mulch from my pots, where I already have a lot of microbial activity, humified organic matter, and remnants of dry amendments in the process of disintegration. I added a good layer of grass and mixed it all on the surface. After doing the above, I concluded the process with a practice that will allow me to capture and proliferate the lactobacillus, Bacillus subtilis, and trichodermas in record time before all that living material is lost with the dehydration of the grass. Finally, I sprayed the entire surface of the grass mixed with the mulch with a solution of mountain water, molasses, and fresh yeast. I want to provoke accelerated fermentation in the grass that will allow the capture of all living elements, enzymes, and minerals, although I think this practice would have been better during the vegetative development stage; it still works now, especially to observe the behavior of the practice. This practice arose from reflection on the care and feeding of outdoor cultivation lands, for me, a theoretical development that I am now applying in my pots. In reality, if I had farmland and thinking about the rotational rest of the plots, I would do it as follows: For the land that will rest that year, I would plant grass and let it grow even until it seeds, then I would cut it and leave it on the land. In this case, the solution with molasses and yeast would not be necessary since the soil where the grass was planted already contains all the microbiology that would in turn take care of converting the grass into organic matter and then into humus. However, if we want to speed up the process, we can also use the solution with molasses and yeast, but in this case, we spray the grass before cutting it to immediately cut it and leave it moistened with the mixture on the ground. In a year, I could at least have two harvests of grass on these resting lands. As in all my practices and organic solutions, what I try to do is accelerate all the processes of natural decomposition of the forest through the management of waste, raw materials, and indigenous microbiology, in order to obtain high-yield crops and above all, independence from the industry... for me today, there is nothing more subversive than having a self-sufficient organic farm!

deFharo Welcome, clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those who are fortunate enough not to be! 🙋‍♂️👨‍🌾 Almost 18 weeks into the life of this serious, colorful, and exotic strain, this week it's moving to my homemade grow cabinet alongside its companion LSD. Both plants, similar in size and height, have fit like a glove in this 60x40cm space. With the flowering stage advanced in both plants, the leaf mass has cleared a bit to favor the growth of the buds, allowing more light to reach all corners of the plants. Currently, I'm lighting both plants with 265w of good light, using 3 Full Spectrum lamps (200w) in the canopy, and on opposite sides, a 2800K panel measuring 60x30cm and another one of 3000k +660nm measuring 30x30cm. All the lights are very close to the crops, taking advantage of the low temperatures and the fact that the cabinet remains open all the time. This plant, which already had a tendency to color its leaves, is now showing even more beautiful shades of violet, yellow, and green with the drop in temperatures... I loved it! The buds have great density, and just touching them releases a spectacular array of exotic aromas! The last watering this week was with low concentration and stimulating components, to relieve the substrate of accumulated nutrients and with an eye on the final weeks of cultivation, where I've promised the plant big feasts... let’s play!

deFharo Welcome, clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those lucky enough not to be one!✋👨‍🌾 Almost 19 weeks of growing this serious, colorful, and exotic strain, eight weeks since the switch to flowering! Yesterday, I freed the plant from all the wires and ties I had made since the beginning; the trunk and branches are completely bent and twisted but are strong enough to hold their shape until the end. The plant is growing happily in its homemade grow cabinet with plenty of light. Among the 4 plants I'm growing in old-school pots, this one consumes the most water; the leaves are completely tinted due to the low temperatures, making a perfect complement to the flowering buds, creating a very beautiful ensemble. The aromas emitted by the dense buds intensely fill the room where I grow this and another plant. This plant consumes a lot of nutrients; it's never satisfied! It's a sign of the great metabolism driven by the intense light surrounding it. Currently, this grow is a whole, a living organism in perfect symbiosis and harmony between light, substrate, and microbiology. The enormous colas that crown the plant and the leaf mass are the true reflection of the health and efficiency of everything in the substrate. Two days ago, after a week without seeing my garden, I organized a big feast with all my plants, a fraternal meal where I cooked new recipes, we drank, ate, and danced to the music, wrapped in the smoke of my best marijuana! According to the producer, it should be ready for harvest, but the plant still has a lot of energy left. Also, I have to say that this season I'm applying a technique, which I will explain if I see results, where I try to delay the senescence of the plant, extending the flowering period, and thus giving more time for the colas to fatten up, a sort of Elixir of Youth. At the same time, I want to remind everyone that I feed my plants with every watering until the end of their life; I don't water with pure water, and I always feed my plants whenever I water, as if it were for myself... let’s play! In nature, this plant would be experiencing autumn; the light during this time is softer and reddish. I've moved the lights a bit away from the canopy; I don't want to stress the upper tips!... we're on the road to glory! Until next time...

deFharo Welcome clandestine marijuana growers, and also to those lucky enough not to be one! 🙋‍♂️👨‍🌾 158 days since I planted the seed in the substrate, twelve weeks since the switch to flowering 12/12h! Today I harvested this plant after letting the substrate dry out; it’s going to give me a decent yield with some dark, rock-hard buds that will add an exotic note to my marijuana stash. It has been a plant with great metabolism and strength throughout its life, the trichomes are huge and shiny, they're everywhere, on the flowers and leaves, my fingers are black and super sticky, I’ve made a nice ball of hash. Now the plant is drying, I keep the drying area with air circulation, these days are ideal since the relative humidity is very low, allowing the plant to lose excess moisture faster.
