This is one of the 1st strains I grew when I started growing and it was a great smoke. Definitely had to run it again and I'm glad I got a 100% success rate with the germination. Considering it was my 1st grow, I did OK but I have learnt alot since then and excited to see how much I have improved with a strain I grew before and still remember the experience clearly. 👍🏾🤤🔥🔥😎

Really good growing,small and bushy,can’t wait for flowering begin

August 23: Just finishing up about 36 hours of darkness, then I'm going to wash the buds, then hang them. Harvesting a bit early due to time constraints but it looks good. The smell is very dank, not a tropical skittles smell, much more like wood glue as I've seen mentioned in other reviews, although I'm starting to occasionally catch a sweeter tropical scent as well. I wanted to leave it a little longer. There were still a lot of white hairs when I started the dark period, but a lot of them seem to have developed into swollen calyxes so I'm pretty happy. I was a little worried they were making seed pods after last time, but I broke one open and all that was inside was red hairs. I'm going to keep an eye on the RH while they're drying and get them into jars and try to wait as long as possible before I start sampling. I can tell this is one of those batches that's going to get better and better if left alone for a couple months. Just did the wash, did 1.25 cups of 34% food grade H202 and a squeezed lemon in a 5 gal bucket. Another bucket of just water to rinse. Then I had a fan on it while hanging in the sunlight from a skylight in the bathroom for 30 min, then put the fan further back and on oscillate, then turned it down an hour later. Left it in there for a few hours, then hung it in the grow tent with everything removed except an oscillating fan, pointed away from the buds. I have the whole plant hanging in the middle of the tent and the tent is holding at 60% rh. Next run I'm going to do 2 buckets and only top once. I might leave them a bit longer in veg too to maximize the height in my grow space, and I'll get a proper 500w bulb instead of continuing to run 1000w bulbs at 50% to lower the heat a bit. The weather will be cooler and I'll only run one air stone in each bucket which should help with res temp. I'll probably foil-wrap the buckets again as well. I should be able to get another run done by the end of the year. I have a White Widow fem seed I've been waiting to use but I'm not sure what else I want to grow yet. Maybe Granddaddy Purp. I'll take some micro pics of the trichomes this week and start curing, and I'll post a proper review in a couple weeks. Happy growing everyone! August 24: I took it out of the tent to inspect. No mold or mildew. The middle of some buds are still pretty wet. I'll keep an eye on it. Wet weight on the stem is 158 grams/ 5.5oz. I harvested a couple branches last week and hung them up. I just ground up one of the buds, left it overnight and vaped some today. There was a bit of Chemdawg Tangerine in the grinder already but overall I got a lot of thick vapour, instant effects, and a really great tropical taste. I busted out the microscope camera and I realized I had a couple buds that fell off before I washed the plant in the H202, and a couple buds that came off in the washing process. It doesn't look like washing the buds took off any of the trichomes. I do seem to find less debris in the buds, not that there was much there before. The trichs look great. Just a light toasting of amber. The washed bud actually seems more dry than the unwashed bud. August 25: there's a real chlorophyll smell coming from the drying room today, it was much terpier yesterday. Leaves are getting crunchy, stems are still fully bendy. I ended up taking it down in the evening. The drying room rh dropped from 60% to 55% and the buds were starting to look too dry based on my last grow. I put it all in a paper bag for the night and I'll put it in jars tomorrow morning. Broken down most of the way it came out to 48-49 grams. From the bud structure, I definitely feel like it would have benefitted from more grow time if I didn't have to travel. More to come. August 26 - the edges of the buds are getting really crispy and the buds are getting tighter. I checked the paper bag earlier and it was 65-70%. I got the impression it was time to put it into jars. I'll keep the lids off for a bit.

Week 2 of flower 12-5 She is growing nicely. She got a good dose of microbes yesterday. 2k ml she got cal/mag 5ml per gal, Drops 1ml, dusting of yucca, Kelp 1/16th tsp, EM 1 1 ounce per gallon and 1/2 tsp recharge. Top dress is soon. She will only get water x2 waterings. Cheesecake pictures tomorrow. I think I even may have, underwatered Cheese HAHAHAHA No way! Me ..... Underwater.... Thats a first! Now I have it marked. LOL 😬 J/s EM1 is kinda lol Icky. And the bottle almost exploded on me 😂 Good stuff. 12-7 Good ol plain water ph 6.2 Watered around 2.5 liters took it well. Roots are coming out the bottoms of both bags. 💪 Almost looks like worms 🤣 I must be doin ok, I haven't had them jump out before. 💪 And on both. Not the other 2 🤣 yet? The buds on 3x are tiny. They need top dressed, but i dont think thats it. May be a slow budder?? Idk, we shall see. But I do see signs of hunger. Top dress next water 💪 Removed all leafs pointing in. Or most at least. Very happy with progress. Still no signs of over water/feeding yet. 😁🤘 12-10 Top dress both 2 tbs buildaflower, 1 tbs craftblend, 1/4 cup poo. 12-11 Just growin tall.

The plant is just "keep on keeping on". Looks beautiful and is nearing the scrog. It is also nearing time for a second round of topping. I plan on keeping the Gold Leaf in veg for a while as the auto is running on 24, so trying to get close as possible to harvest for the auto before I flip the lights. Aiming for an xmas yield for the gold leaf. I also performed some super cropping this week. Wish i had take close up photos on the branches, it work like a charm. The plant growth really took off. In some of the photos you can see the branches are a bit twist and recovering from the super cropping.

Dear Growers :o) Im back with report. I can recommend this strain for many reasons ! First of all i would like to summerize the grow. The plant was first in my garden outdoors, where i did plant to measures of the 70x70 tent. That bring som eproblems at start with bugs and other stuff, but we survived! Next and last was my mistake to mix soil and coco, because when the coco dries it brings over nutri problems. I will learn from my mistakes and hopefully continue with next gro documentary here. Now im sure i will move from tent to regular furniture custom grow box, to be as stealth as i can and to prevent noise in the flat and smell... The strain : BCN Critical is really great plant , very potent and with nice orange trichomes. Covers with sticky and glossy resin. At the end of the flowering i hit in the box 75% of humidity and mold started in few buds, but in this extremew conditions. on the other hand i have few plants still outside and they are compeltely healthy (15 degrees during day and 90% humidityx near the river) so I can recommend this strain. the outcome from the one plant in the box was 132g ( 60g of big 3-4g buds) the rest are like tip of finger im satisfied with the result under 200W led lumii black light ! the smoke is really clean, with citrus touch, smells very strong from smoke, but the best is from vape! After few puffs You can feel uplifting high, then relaxed. Not my favourite terpenes profile, but really interesting. after 2 hours U can smoke again :).In compare with outdoor harvest its not so heavy to body high. thanks for watching my diary and keep growing !

this week I made the decision to transplant both plants .. the 20 liter pot was already too small .. and it was bad for development and growth .. two-headed SATORI :-) transplanted into a 50-liter basket for dirty clothes))) I had to buy it because everything is closed !! I could not find a 50 liter pot for plants due to restrictions on Covid-19 .. for this reason this basket became an alternative .. which seemed to me not a bad replacement for AirPot .. it is 35-40% transparent through .. and the air will flow better to roots .. after transplantation, she began to grow oochen rapidly)) I transplanted the fat SATORI into a smartpot 15 gallons .. a little depressed after the transplant, but I think everything will be fine)) the gender has not yet been shown, but as you can see in some of the photos, the hope is that both of them are girls all growing and growing .. and not a little important factor .. already 4 days as a regime 12-12 .. I want to make sure that they are girls and wait until they show the sex by 100% then with a new transfer to the growing season ..

Oct.29 - We transplanted the girls into soil since they are moving into vegetation phase Nov.4 - Watered each plant 250mL, 0.25mL of each nutrient for each girl

All 3 looking beautiful

Growing some seeds I won from Diary of the Month here on Grow Diaries!!! I'm so grateful and excited for another learning experience doing what I love! Thank you, FastBuds! 🙏 Seed was germinated directly in Rapid Rooter placed in a seedling tray. I put her in darkness for 48 hours and then in a sunny window. Three days later, the seedling's little head poked up and the next day she showed me her first true leaves - calling this day 1. I kept the seedling tray in a sunny window and brought her outside for lunch on my sunny deck with me for the rest of the week. Given the heatwave we were having here, I got her settled into her net basket sooner rather than later so that she could have a more stable environment. This plant will is being grown indoors in an 2x4x8 Gorilla Grow Tent using an 8 gallon Current Culture Solo Bucket under California Lightworks 550 Solar System LED. For grow media I am using clay pellets and I use the entire Cultured Solutions line of nutrients. I will be showcasing this plant in a grow tutorial over on my YouTube channel and IGTV where I am going to show a detailed walk through of how I grew my original "Budzilla" plant. Unfortunately, I don't have a grow diary for her, but she is featured on my IG account. The technique I use I created after harvesting my first grow. I had used low stress training on an autoflower and achieved beautiful results. I took notes the entire grow and conducted a postmortem. I sincerely advise doing this for EVERY grow - especially when you are learning. It provides you opportunity to figure out what went right, what went wrong, what could have gone better, and what ideas you think you can toss into the mix to try to improve on the places that need revamping. I did this and I came up with the hypothesis of starting my plant off-center in the net basket, and then growing it low and in a spiral around the outside. In my head, I thought something like this could really push the limits of low stress training, especially when used on an autoflower where we have a limited time of vegetative growth. I didn't realize, at the time, JUST how effective the technique would be, but when the grower community on IG exploded over the sight of my plant, I started to get a feeling a did something right. As I was still only growing my second plant in my entire grow career, I was completely oblivious to the fact that I had pushed the normal boundaries of an autoflower.... I had nothing else to really compare it to. Nearly a year later, photos of my Budzilla are still being shared around social media in the grow community and I still get asked regularly about how I grew her. And with that, we start here on the journey to attempt the recreation of my former masterpiece. But I'm taking it one step further and giving you a detailed, step-by-step guide so that even the newest of growers can follow along and learn how to push an autoflower to its beautiful edge. Plus.... It's really freaking cool to bonsai a plant 😎. Anyway, please feel free to subscribe to my YouTube channel! The link is in my bio! I am updating as I go along! Thanks for growing with me! ✌️💜🌱🙏

She is growing strong and healthy.

Waiting on a full plant hang dry so will wait at least two weeks maybe three hope ma vegging station holds up n can dae tge damage the now as av said guys this is definitely not the perfect set up am not on good terms with land lord so basically squatting here lol and growing and a got caught with one in this house the land lord doesn’t even know lol 😂

Better then I ever wish, 1KW - delivers💪

12/4 : Most of them are getting out the soil. Pink Gasolines are the slowest to pop off. 💪 Had to manage the pot space in the dome so there's currently 2 seedlings per pot. 16/4 I have now moved all the plants into a bigger 120x60 tent. Also a friend loaned me an old 600w LED fixture (Horticoled XMAX6 V4) until i get my Migro Array 4 240w There's now a humidifier in the box and they are in bigger pots now 💪

12/21: Raised the lights as high as they can go... 12/22: Fed today and rearranged the garden. Did some supercropping, and lassoed the GG4 (bitch is wild i tell ya) 12/26: Fed today and did some more supercropping...

Debut de semaine 8 de floraison, mise a jours dans la semaine

My girl is growing beautifully and I am sending her into flower tomorrow.
