Resistance

Had great resilience but Ultimately the plants went through more stress than they should have and were stunted by my lack of knowledge. The Aroma coming from the buds is that of NOS Energy drinks and a bit of pine. It tastes just as it smells after a week of drying and 5 days of curing (need at least a month) flavor will continue to develop. I will be growing again for sure. Maybe Photoperiods next time.
Another week in the books and the first plant has cured a bit more and man, the smell is so amazing, still burns a bit on the harsher side of things but as the bud continues to cure that will smooth out.
1 month cure update... Critical Purple is a hell of a bud to enjoy. I find myself getting the couch lock and a sense of mind calm. I suffer from several conditions a few being mental health related and this bud truly helps me deal with life. Beyond impressed with the genetics. Bud cured nicely and again it is one to thoroughly enjoy.

Reviews. Nutrient
Lasted perfectly and the root mass was amazing. The plants loved the nutrients from week 5. I rotated post week 5 to a top-watering and subirrigated alternating schedule. This kept the nutrient levels in check the remainder of the grow.
The medium Miracle Gro Perfomance organics potting mix in the bag stays damp for a long time which ultimately I feel led to the early gnat issues that honestly I never got rid of until the temperatures got too high in the tent for them to live. Nonetheless I feel it was a good medium for the Autos.
Reviews. Lamp
After I figured out the light height to power for the plant the stretch was already done, this light packs a punch and now that the learning curve has been found this light will blow up my tent next grow. Highly recommend for the price, I am not complaining with the end results nor am I complaining about the quality of this light. 10/10.
Reviews. Tent
Helped maintain the climate but the overall quality is subpar. The light leaks from the zippers and the mylar corners have already almost worn through. The metal support rods have also cracked and broke on the top from disassembly and reassembly 3 times. Overall it's still standing and maintaining the environment. For under $70 I am not complaining.
Growers choice has some awesome genetics in the Critical Purple Auto. Unfortunately my lack of experience and cold Temps led to one seed not germinating,, and my lack of knowledge I feel hurt the end yield (however not by much). The two phenotypes I had displayed some interesting genetics with one showing dominant ruderallis characteristics, but the plants were so strong and did amazing in the abusive climates. I will be growing from growers choice again 100% for sure.
I've had a few independent taste testers for the harvest vs store bought critical purple and most have preferred my homegrown, may not be the biggest or the best overall quality, but it's terpene profile and the medicinal benefits are to die for. I'd rate myself at a 7/10 for this grow.
So after 3 weeks of curing the final profile has set in I feel, a nice floral citrus cream aroma is present, and the flavor is more of berries and cream. The effects kick in 5 min after use and last approximately an hour to an hour and a half.

@xTherapy_Growingx, very possible they could be photos, I just seen the pictures on your diary and it looks like it's trying to bud up and I seen some pistils on the lower branch pictures. Very curious nonetheless.

@DoDrugs420, it was easy to manage and grow just wish the Temps wouldn't have gotten so high here it really did some damage and stressed them out. Pretty much made an auto go back to veg. Lol all is good nonetheless and I'm thankful for all the love on this grow!

Bonitas flores.
Te recomiendo subir la humedad y bajar la temperatura del sustrato.😉
En floración no es recomendable pulverizar las flores, los nutrientes también lo absorven por las hojas.

@fraankiiee, good info I have noticed the Temps spike I can't do too much at the moment as it's in the triple digits outside and it's in my garage. But I'll do my best.

@jkeats, yeah for sure. So I would say it ultimately came down to my medium. They did really well in an organic amended medium and were left alone after training. I made sure to keep the light schedule the same as a photo period and then checked the strains preferred climate and replicated it to the best of my ability. In early veg I had the light about 22inches at 85% shooting for 560 PAR autos tend to preflower week 4 or 5 and then you'll have to control that stretch by cranking up the intensity or dropping the light down. It was important for these ladies to get adequate dark period too. Be sure to check the strains preferred flowering environment.
Outside all of this, I kept the medium at 5.6ph and watered in at 7.0 figured the balance would be 6 4 or so and I did stunt growth because of it. So if you have an acidic medium water in at a ph around 6.4 and that will do her.
Outside of that it's just a matter of trying to truly replicate nature my guy. Cheers!
