Hola y gracias por pasarte a ver mi diario. Conocí esta variedad hace 20 años. En 2001, en mi pueblo, mi padre y sus amigos cultivaban una marihuana a la que llamaban "Madre", hacían crecer plantas de hasta 4 metros de alto y otros tantos de ancho, verdaderos monstruos del cultivo de guerrilla en las montañas del levante español. Cuando, con 18 años la probé, supe que era algo realmente especial, era una época en la que los viajes a Ámsterdam eran habituales y de vez en cuando algún amigo traía alguna muestra de lo mejor que encontraba; pues bien, siempre decíamos que si esta "Madre" estuviese en los coffee shops Holandeses podría competir y desbancar a muchos mitos de aquella época. Cuando le pedí a José, uno de los amigos de mi padre que mantenía la especie, que me explicase más sobre esta variedad me decía que sólo me la podía pasar en esqueje, ya que no habían estabilizado la cepa y las semillas tenían fenotipos muy variopintos. Estuve 2 años pudiendo cultivar dicho esqueje (hoy en día conocido como el Clon Mario), con muy buenos resultados, pero con 18 años mis habilidades como cultivador eran escasas, mi conocimiento sobre esquejado y mantenimiento de madres era nulo y acabé perdiendo aquel clon, posteriormente y por redadas policiales en aquellas montañas todo aquel que mantenía durante años esta genética acabo perdiéndola, conservando semillas que nunca llegaron al nivel de la cepa original. Hasta que Mario Bellandi, creador de la variedad, y su banco de semillas Delicatessen Seeds consiguieron estabilizarla mediante semillas regulares y feminizadas. En 2014 compré un paquete de semillas feminizadas y el resultado fue más que bueno, recordando sin duda a aquella joya ancestral pero sin llegar al nivel del Clon original. Esta vez cultivé la Reina Madre partiendo de 3 semillas regulares y el resultado creo que ha sido aún más próximo al original, lo cual es todo un éxito para mí. Una de las 3 semillas murió antes de llegar a la madurez y las otras dos resultaron ser dos hembras, muy parecidas entre sí. Una la puse en maceta de 50L y la otra en maceta de 20L. Las plantas crecieron sin ningún problema excepto alguna carencia que presentó antes de tiempo, especialmente de nitrógeno. Al ser un cultivo 100% orgánico y únicamente con riegos de agua del grifo sin añadir abonos líquidos era esperable, aunque el resultado final me deja muy satisfecho. Además, el hecho de añadir todos los nutrientes al sustrato me ha permitido facilitar la tarea del riego y no tener que realizar el lavado de raíces. La planta que se desarrolló en una maceta de 20L ha producido 120g de cogollos secos, esponjosos, espigados y con una relación flores/hojas bastante buena. La planta que puse en maceta de 50L sufrió la podredumbre del tronco principal y tuve que cortarla antes de tiempo, desechando buena parte de la producción, aun así he obtenido de ella 80g de rica yerba old school. El olor de las flores húmedas era bastante intenso y con matices cítricos y especiados. Respecto a plagas y enfermedades ha sido muy resistente, no he apreciado signos de araña roja, pulgón ni trips gracias al aporte de harina de Neem en el sustrato. Tampoco he sufrido el temido y habitual ataque de las orugas (ni la oruga de las hojas ni la del cogollo) gracias a las pulverizaciones en las fechas clave con Bacillus Thuringiensis. Tampoco se ha visto afectada por el Oídio que normalmente aparece al final de la floración en la zona donde vivo, ni tampoco de botrytis , por lo que la pastilla de Micorrizas y Trichodermas ha funcionado a la perfección, no sólo reforzando el sistema radicular sino también frente a los hongos invasores. El clima también me ha acompañado este año, vivo en una zona cálida donde la temperatura suele ser óptima para el cultivo de exterior de cannabis, el mes de mayo llovió algún día de forma agradable, junio, julio y agosto fueron especialmente secos, solo llovió un par de noches a finales de agosto, y septiembre también ha sido muy respetuoso lloviendo solo 2 veces. Por todo esto, siendo la primera vez que elaboro un supersoil, estoy seguro que para la temporada 2022 repetiré el sistema, haciendo algunos ajustes a la mezcla para evitar estas carencias que he comentado. Quiero agradecer a Growdiaries.com la herramienta que nos brinda a los cultivadores (en mi caso cultivador clandestino) para poder realizar el seguimiento de nuestros cultivos y como, en mi caso particular, ha hecho que mi motivación y trabajo hayan sido una constante semana tras semana, por lo que ha influido directamente en el buen resultado final de la cosecha. También agradecer a todo el que pasó por aquí durante el seguimiento ya que me dieron el apoyo necesario para mejorar en mi cultivo. Un saludo. Ferinky

👉Had to throw in some lights on pix for fun. The colors look cool. I use a led work light to highlight parts of the pant and make them show green. The plant is frosty and smelling sweet. Not a strong pungent smell, but a light lemony pine, especially when touched. The lower row of branches has two or three smaller side branches with a few small plump super mega frosty nuggets. At Harvest I will keep track of these and cure them together for comparison. Been Trichome hunting and from what Ive been able to ascertain its mostly clear with some milky and zero amber. Its at the end of the timeline from Growers Choice, 65 days, and it looks like 10+ days to go. Its possible it may not get many Ambers. I will let the plant decide. Right now its still got green leaves, except the scars of the earlier nutrient burn and the calcium deficiency. Have plucked a few under canopy leaves that were droopy and shaded. The upped canopy of leaves are still perked up and the buds slowly plumping up. Very few emerging pistols, 95% are red. 👉The nutrient mix is the"ripen" recipe on the General Hydroponics Flora series, using the full line mixed to make 1.3ec solution. I target the pH to be 5.9. The runoff EC is back to a more predictable climb in ec with no spikes. I rinse fertigated twice using 5.9pH RO water with 1.5mil/gal Calmag only. The pot is saturated at approximately 1.25l. So when I give it 2 liters, I get about .75liters run off. 👉I will begin prepping the dry area for the harvest and get all the jars and BV packs Ill need. I plan on keeping each cola and its good buds together and giving each its own jar. I dont anticipate harvest for another week or two. It wont be fully cured by Christmas, but its definitely going to help make the season brighter!

420 Fastbuds Week 5 Blackberry Auto What up what up. Weekly updates on these two magnificent girls. They both are showing some really cool colors not only on the flowers but leafs as well. It's been getting cold a few day this week so possibly temperature manipulation. Both seem to be happy and healthy up to this point so continuing with the same routine should work fine. I think I'll add some nutes this coming week to boost flower production and give them a little helping hand. All in all Happy Growing

Can I just say, these plants growth and development have been awesome, in the beginning she just grew horizontally and at a snail rate, but in my absence it’s like she was preventing her growth, and the problem with Monday’s Blue, it’s pot was not filled to the brim with grow medium (alike Unknwon Strain), unlike the other 4 plants so it did not get enough wind and sunlight, but guess what, nature always makes a plan. Look at her now.

It was a great adventure that started with 23 plants and ended up with only 2. Slow growing and low yield.

Hello, readers! Next week without accidents! Growing good. However, she could be growing faster😁 I think at this stage, she looks a little bit over-defoliated, also I chopped off the baby buds the lowest center. I wonder, if I'll keep her in rest for the next week. Place of ex-branch, kind of starting to mold. I've cleaned it. Will take a look a it after. Solution at the end of the week was good with PPM, but PH started going to 5, I didn't have anything to increased it, so I changed solution Feeding: (Kinda Micro) NPK20, B 0.01, Cu 0.02, Fe 0.04, Mn 0.01, Mo 0.002, Zn 0.002 - 0.23 gr/liter. (Kinda Grow) N 15.5 CaO 26 - 0.16 gr/liter. (Kinda Grow) NPK 10 5 40 + 2 MgO - 0.26 gr/liter. (Kinda Bloom) NPK 0 0 51 + So3 34 - 0.33gr/liter (Kinda Bloom) NPK 0 52 34 - 0.5 gr/liter. Orthophosphoric acid 85%(H3PO4) - 0 ml/liter

Strawberry Banana Reserva Privada DNA Genetics famous seeds and vegetation! Joy from beginning to end, especially their height to heaven. The smell of buds is smelled of dried bananas with a light tone of earthy strawberries and pine. I'm happy! I will give them a week to ripen and gradually harvest. The biggest plants I've had so far. Tribute to the guys from DNA Genetics! Grow Your Own!

Well plant has really recovered from my PH accident. Thank God! I was able to give her some more LST. 1 to 2 weeks more of veg and she will be moved to the flower tent.

May4: nice spring day so plants were outside in the afternoon. Some direct sun but also protected in small greenhouse. Light watering with some nutrients. I’m using Monster Maxx this year. I used a free sample of it last year making compost teas and it seemed to work great. Early to use any nutes but I think it is okay. This stuff has regular N fertilizer (nitrate, urea, and ammonia) but also two bacteria strains that have been shown to work. I was looking at last year’s roots today and they are the densest and most intricate I’ve seen, so I think this stuff works as advertised. Will still use compost teas later this season but for now this should do fine. Prepped most of the soil. Cannabis gets the Grade A+ soil, and tomatoes and peppers get last years cannabis soil and some fresh compost. May 9: weather is great so decided to transplant into the final container. Culled second seedling that was slower and had asymmetrical leaves. May 10: still misting leaves to provide moisture. So far so good.

Pollen was dropping like crazy as the male flowers got ripe and ready. The females got good and coated and fully pollinated. I harvested the males to collect and preserve the pollen. Some dried and I veiled it up. But the bulk majority is still drying up. I left just the bottom portion of the male kicking for some extra pollen well the females throw off. The diary will now begin to focus on the pollinated females. The journey to beans is well under way! Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

D108: After the stress we experienced, we managed to recover with a yield of 60-70%. We will start monitoring trichomes in the 8th week. Continuing with two waterings, one with fertilizer and one with calcium, we proceed.

Another week for the first-time sailor. I started doing LST as I'm a beginner unfortunately my lack of skill took 3 leaves but the plants apparently did not feel the stress as they continue to grow and with the birth of new leaves. This week reduces the space for watering before 7 days to 5 days the growth is good but as everything in life can improve but I am happy with my performance and learning from my failures.

Last week was very challenging, two girls got really tall below the white light, while the other two below the blurple spectrum ended up being smaller and bushier, both looking fantastic. Last week I also probably went too far defoliating the shaded smaller girl which stunned it a bit for a day or two but its flowering vigorously again. Although the unexpected stretch which led to uneven light coverage overally the platns are looking solid, smelly and sugary :)
