Kuchi Diesel 2024/2025 Uruguay / Living Soil / KNF homemade nutrients

Urunascar I transplanted into 4-liter pots, using a substrate made from "ecosustrato ecosativa" with added kombu seaweed, krill meal, bone meal, bokashi, and champignon compost. The soil is very alive, and you can see the microorganisms with the naked eye.

Urunascar Entre las semanas 2 y 4 no hubo mucha diferencia, supongo que estaban dedicandose a colonizar la maceta de raices porque empezaron a crecer más rápido ahora

Urunascar They are growing healthy and tall, with not much branching or many leaves, but the ones they have are very healthy, just like the substrate which is nice and alive.

Urunascar I transplanted one of the two Kuchi diesel to 50 liters (15 gallons). The other one is going to be transplanted to 38 liters (10 gallons).

Urunascar I started LST at two, four main branches came out on each one after the apical, and I'm already separating them nicely but very gently to avoid cracking the stem.

Urunascar Well on track, they are starting to need a bit more water and the growth is becoming more noticeable.

Urunascar Feeding weekly with Biovega 5ml x L LABS 2ml x L BRV 2ml x L FPJ 2ml x L EM 50ml x L FAA 2ml x L OHN 2ml x L Every 15 days foliar watering with: EM 100ml x L Biosulfur 5ml x L (if I see any pests around) Fermented seawater 2ml x L OHN 2ml x L

Urunascar It's going to be a very hot month, so they're drinking a lot of water in my opinion. Soon I'm going to loosen the LST ties to prevent the main stem from splitting like it has in previous years.

Urunascar This month they're experiencing faster vegetative growth, they have pistils but the lights are still on 18/6 so they shouldn't be flowering yet. I plan to turn them off in 3 weeks and start the flowering stage.

Urunascar We're in the middle of summer and they're growing at a much faster pace, they're asking for a lot of water, especially the one in the 38-liter pot, the one in the 50-liter pot takes longer to use up the water.

Urunascar Very healthy, they're just a bit low on nitrogen now, I added a lot of compost, bokashi, and covered with rice husk mulch. I continue to feed liquid nutrients twice a week with: FPJ BRV EM Bokashi EM (every 15 days) LABS FAA WSCA (from eggshells and beach shells) Fermented Seawater

Urunascar I took them out of the LED light to switch to flowering, I amended the soil with compost from the worm bin, bokashi, scraps from a small minimal lower pruning (to discard certain branches that looked ugly), and covered it with mulch. The feeding will be this for the first 2 weeks of flowering, then 3 weeks the same but without the FPJ, maybe I'll give it more power with a bio-flower from Biocanna that I have left over from last year. I was going to do LST but as soon as I tried to move the two main ones down, it opened in the middle, I sealed it with tape, praying that it heals well and healthily, this week I'm going to apply trichoderma in the area just in case.

Urunascar They're coming out really nice, for now just stretching without forming many pre-flowers, at the end of next week I plan to do some defoliation and lower pruning.

Urunascar I finished the week by defoliating and pruning the lower parts to avoid humidity problems, improve air circulation, and make better use of sunlight on the upper buds. I did a preventive watering with trichoderma, and in 10 days I'll do another one before they form flowers, the same with Bordeaux mixture.

Urunascar I'm still doing defoliation and pretty intense pruning, leaving only the 2 or 3 upper satellite leaves on each main branch. The idea is to prevent pests and especially fungi due to lack of air circulation.

Urunascar Week of heavy rains, I finished giving the last dose of trichoderma before the final stages of flowering, it was 3 doses one every 10 days, now I avoid it falling on these but I keep giving it to the other plants around.

Urunascar Sad week, I lost one of the two to fusarium. In the middle of January, it was too hot and it burned, leaving the scar in the photo at the base of the trunk and an entry point for fusarium that took it down pretty quickly once it got in. I'm still treating the other one with trichoderma. Luckily, the bigger one is the one that’s still alive, and I hope nothing else gets it now.

Urunascar I had to do a manual cleaning with a sponge and potassium soap due to the presence of some red spiders on the underside (5 on the plant), and that's why the pistils are quite oxidized at the beginning of the week and improve by the end. It started to gain a little volume, I’m not sure if the thin leaves are due to nutrient burn or if it was a defense mechanism against the extreme heat that occurred (it reached a thermal sensation of 38 degrees Celsius).

Urunascar I feel like I went overboard with the electrical conductivity many times during the transition stage (boosting with soluble calcium), and those claw-shaped and very thin leaves formed. Now the tips are starting to turn yellow too, so I'm almost ruling out the theory of extreme heat stress. They're fattening up a bit more and starting to gain weight. I added another support string, and I'm going to give the last watering of this week as per the chart, followed by trichoderma.

Urunascar Supposedly, it was a plant with a 58-day flowering period, today marks those 58 days and for me, it needs at least 2 more weeks of fattening. I hope it has matured by then because I don't think it can hold on much longer (it's getting colder and more humid in the coming weeks). It's a cross of Cookies Kush x Sour Power and it seems to have taken more after the Sour due to the citrus aroma and the delay in flowering. I stopped giving it OHN two weeks ago since it takes 4 weeks for the flavor to leave the plant, but I forgot to update the diary.

Urunascar Last few weeks, watering only with lactobacilli and mango Ffj to activate the soil microorganisms and to ensure there are no nutrients left in the plant. It's just starting to enter senescence, even though it was supposedly a 58-day strain (it's been 64). I'll give it one more week, but I don't think the buds that haven't fattened up until now will get any bigger.

Urunascar Excellent quality/price ratio. I'm currently using it for cuttings and the light spectrum makes them grow super fast.
