These have been difficult days in my country, but thank God we’re still alive and getting our daily work done. We definitely have to work hard to reap the rewards of success. I have these Kali x IW3 seeds—that’s the name I gave them—and here I’ll talk about how that cross came about: https://freecannabis.com/forums/thr...erimental-project-kali-x-iw3.4508/#post-32825
At the end of March, I planted some new seeds. On March 29, the Kali x IW3_MA_2 sprouted—of all the plants that germinated, it was the only one that survived. On April 29, I did its first transplant. At first, I noticed its growth was a bit slow, but a few weeks later it started growing more. I think it’s because I applied a little worm castings as a foliar spray, which helped it grow better, but it hadn’t revealed its sex yet. About two weeks ago, it finally showed its sex, and fortunately, it turned out to be female, so I knew it was time for its second and final transplant to move it into the flowering phase.
Before I could buy the materials to make the new potting mix for the transplant, something very serious happened: there was a double earthquake on June 24 that caused a major disaster in the country. Fortunately, my family and I are fine, but we felt the brutal earthquake that lasted 41 seconds, shaking my home and causing us intense anxiety—so many images really do flash through your mind when something like that happens.
We went through some very difficult and unsettling days with the aftershocks and the news about all the people affected, so on July 1, when the situation began to calm down a bit, I went to buy the materials to do the repotting.
Here in Venezuela, we need a lot of help, since the disaster has overwhelmed the country’s capacity, and we’re in a real crisis from every point of view.
On July 5, I transplanted the Kali x IW3_MA_2, and it was a success—it’s been in its new pot for two days now and looks good. I have to check on it daily—I don’t want what happened with my last crop to happen again, when it got infested with whiteflies and the harvest was a failure, after I’d been on a winning streak for several years. So enjoy the pictures of this plant—it’s a gem because I’ve grown it before, and the first time I tried it, I really liked its flavor and effect.
