ertaverd Training begins! Topping the central bud and general defoliation😋

ertaverd The tips of the apical cut are growing, in a few days I'll cut the lower shoots and do defoliation again.

ertaverd Continuing with the mainlining and defoliation, the plant is responding well to the training. I've been playing around a bit taking photos in the sunlight.

ertaverd I'm in love with this plant. I'm out for a week and I don't know if transplant it today or wait a week.

ertaverd making some Lst and defoliation on it

ertaverd Beginning the bloom! switching the nutrients to bloom mode, I 've added some vegetation nutrients in the first watering of the week because of a nitrogen deificiency.

ertaverd Made some more Supercropping in the top of the branches and a severe defoliation yesterday. Check out the result, every day i'm happier with it!

ertaverd Defoliation, more stress. Some pistils got burnt by the rains. I sprayed with preventive this week too. Let's hope there's enough.

ertaverd The rainy season has arrived, it rains every couple of days and some pistils are getting a bit messed up. The temperatures have dropped quite a bit and there's more humidity, which is normal in September. It's struggling to flower because it's suffering from quite a bit of light pollution. It still doesn't have resin, so I'm going to spray it this week.

ertaverd On September 10th we got really bad weather in my country, the thunder winds complete destroyed a side of the plant. It's a strong girl and she can hold it and keep going to the bloom.💪 The leafs show a bit of yellow in the center i thought it was a nutrient excess ( because i was wrong with the proportions of one of the products, I got confused between liters and gallons😅), I'm watering with only water this week😊

ertaverd Well, she is recovering from the excess she had last week, yesterday I did the first irrigation with nutrients after 4 or 5 water-only irrigations. She looks stronger and more vigorous, the flowers are starting to grow and promise! Yesterday, the 26th, I put tension on the branches, lowering them towards the ground to open the plant and let the branches gain more strength and receive as much sunlight as possible. Little is missing!

ertaverd It's producing very little resin, I'm not sure why. I have a bit of spider mites and aphids on the lower buds but there aren't too many and they're concentrating there.

ertaverd Boron deficit, I have started adding Biobizz Fish Mix again to reset it, I have been told that it contains boron. There are some close-up pictures of the leaves if anyone feels like identifying the deficit or confirming the suspicion of boron, and if you have any recommendations, they will be more than welcome.

ertaverd The resin problem has been solved but the leaves are still looking sick. I' m gonna put Green Sensation and Bloombastic again apart of biobloom. The pistils are all burned because ive sprayed with bacillus and oidioprot.

ertaverd I checked the trichomes because the flowers look like they're done, but i see there still are empty trichomes. Still with resin production problems, even so , the nugs are so tight n hard.

ertaverd We're close to harvest now, I've done some defoliation and checked for any rot I've found. I'm afraid we'll need to do a thorough check on harvest day.

ertaverd Finally I harvest the Somango! It is the plant that I have had the longest on the terrace to date, if we look back, I started with it 5 months ago and in the end they are taken care of ... From the beginning it grew very well, with the help of my friend @Vilahaze and the techniques that I have learned in these years that I have been cultivating, I have gradually tamed it to achieve this definitive form of which I am very proud😋! I combined the Mainlining with a little LST to order the different branches so that they did not touch or shade each other, and more or less I succeeded. At the beginning of flowering, spots and burns began to appear on the leaves that were very worrying, and at the same time I noticed that the plant was not producing almost any resin, in the end, after leaving it without nutrients in a couple of waterings and watering a little with fish mix, the deficit was solved, which following the indications of Jorge Cervantes' book, seemed like Boro's deficit. In the end the resin appeared although not excessively, but it was compensated with large batons that, being not too tight, were more airy and did not rot as much as they could have done. My best harvest to date! 86 grams of peeled flower for which I am more than happy, and a good amount of sugar leaves with which I will make some kind of extract later. The taste of the cured herb is quite mild (I guess because of the lack of nutrients in the last phase of the crop), remember something fruity with strong touches of wood, nuts and some citrus. The paste is quite hybrid, pulling more like a relaxing, although not being very powerful gives you the ability to continue doing things.
