Continuing with occasional defoliation, when a fan-leaf is big enough, I cut it off. I have to do it due to high humidity level in my room.
Tops seem to be under light stress. These lights are just too strong, I have to slowly decrease wattage during bloom.
I've decrease the wattage of lights to 230W as you can see, tips of leafs are yellow and pistils on buds are getting brown faster than I would expect. Seems like 260W is still too much for my fgrow spaece 1m².
Beginnig of week plants were defoliated signifficantly for a last time. As I have quite highz humidity level in my room, this is only possibility how to keep it on 60%, and still I can't get lower. It could be huge problem in next weeks.
Smell is getting nice-very citric and fresh.
Lights down to 230Watt but still visible signs of light stress. You can see burnt tips and yellow leaves.
Beginning of week I‘ve measured terrible 3,7 EC, so I correct it to 1,8-2,0 EC
According seed bank, plant should be ready at day 50. Pictures are from day 49 and I'm going to let her mature at least one more week.
Well, in terms of growing it was big disappointment. Plants were quite sensitive to light burn and final yield is very low, absolutely not in line with what we can expect from critical offspring. In vegetation stage, plant is growing nicely, but in bloom stage bud forming is very poor. Ripening stage sucks. Buds are super small, although they are quite dense. Trichomes production is sufficient, buds are nicely covered, so it is well suited for extraction. I would expect more purple colour in bloom as well, in my opinion appearence of all plants was more into Critical. Blimurn seeds are saying the flower time is 50 days, but I can't confirm. I needed 65 days to get majority of trichomes cloudy. The smell in bloom was citric and gassy, very pleasant, although it was not super intense. I don't know guys, I'm not aware of any severe growing faults I made, but of course, it's possible, and my poor result is caused by improper growing. I don't want to be mean or unjust.
After drying and curing 1 month, I can't desribe the effects properly. I think it's too early to examine full taste and effect profile. Smell is citric and earthy with gassy-skunky touch. Effect so far is kind of proper hybrid. It hits you hard with energetic trippy stage, keeps you elevated a while and then land you comfortly to the bed :)
P.S.- One interesting thing you can see on Blimburn web pages. If you check promo pictures and videos to their strains, in this case Critical Daddy as well, you can see these plants are immature and very poor. I don't know guys, if this is good marketing strategy. After experience with Critical Daddy it seems you can only have such a bad results. I don't want to be mean or unfair with you Blimburn, I'll give your strains one more chance. Maybe I really mess it up with something and those poor results are just my bad growing skills.
Everything described in strain comment. I don't know guys, I'm not aware of any severe mistake. I'm just disappointed with result. I'm not comfy with such poor yields.
You're going to sadly learn the hard way like i did.
A. Most Spanish genetics are not worked and suck.
You get what you pay for (more time wasted even if u find a good pheno but i can chuck my own femmed shit better now hahaha).
Theres a few that are good like ripper and pevs usa copy genetics but why buy a copy when they raised prices. Efem.
B. Stick to VPD charts for veg and flower. U mostly did a good vpd job.
How big is the tent? For a 2x2 a good 100led real watt sammy or the other one (german?) Is more than enough.
You need to research par and dli.
Get a good lux meter as par meters are way expensive and you can use the vendors charts or convert online lux to par input the led type u have. Waveform lighting or something is the calculators online.
Gentics dont burn sugar leaves, improper light and lack of micros like calmag may cause it more in led lights.
Good luck
Try a good sativa hybrid from a good breeder no bulk stuff.
Sativa hybrids will stretch but you can lst it u seem do well with that...you get very easy to trim kababs or large popcorns (yummy!). If you're lucky you get pyramids on sticks. 🙏🙏🚶♂️💲💸💪💪🇺🇲🇺🇲🌱🌱🌿🌿🚀👌👌🇺🇲💪
