She is off to a great start.
I sprouted her right in the rockwool in the DWC. Looking forward to see what we can make this lady do for us. My tent seems to work best with mature plants in the 36” range although my setup can handle 60” in height the width becomes an issue. I plan to flower her when she is about 16” tall.
She has great color and is working on her second node. She is 60% sativa and is maturing as expected. I can’t wait to see the euphoria of the Afghan blended with the energy of the haze.
I had a chiller go down and fed ro water for about 4 hours (changed when temperature reached 69). Critical Jack took it hard and necrosis set in on both her first and second leaves. Amnesia Kush was unaffected, kush Banner has necrotic spots on her first leaves and green Gelato was unaffected.
I’ve been super cropping and I bent her meristem a bit to far and “POP”. So I’ve put her back together and will wait and see what she does. Other than that she is doing great.
she looks absolutely awesome. I will continue to grow her until she is 12” tall and is ready to flower. I think I’ve found my vegative formula (see above for ppm and nutrients/additives used with amounts). Everything has a great color phototropism is quick too.
She is so lush and green. She looks great. I’m really looking forward to seeing what she can do in the flowering tent. I expect she will be ready in about 3 weeks.
She is looking awesome. She’s in full stretch mode. I’ve got her under the 1000w hoping to take full advantage of her yield potential. She has some beautiful leaves.
She looks awesome. I’ve supercropped her to help even out the canopy. She has a very open structure with considerable distance between budsites (granted she is under the hps) but still has a long time left yet so I’m still hopeful she will fill in.
She is really starting to stack. I think she’s actually going to fill in the runs. She is known for heavy yields but when she stretched with such an open structure I began to doubt. She has me believing again!!!
Buds are stacking up. She is going to be a big girl. I’ve supercropped her several times to keep her at 4 feet. It seems to have really paid off with the other radial colas being the same height as the main cola. Thanks for following along.
About a week late on my update 😂🤣
OMG do y’all see the size of these buds! She has like 4 weeks left and is going to be huge! She seems to have just a bit of leaf curling probably from being so close to the hps.
Week 8 trimmed her pretty good to open her up. I spread branches to maximize their exposure to the hps. She has responded very well. The light burns seem to all be on the fans so they are doing their job and cooling off her flowers. Thanks again for looking!
She has started her final swell I’ll start flush next week and plan to harvest her the end of next week. She smells of lemon and her buds are very tight/hard when squeezed.
Flushing her this week and plan to harvest this weekend. Next update will include the harvest report. Thanks for sharing this awesome adventure with me!!!!!!
She smells of lemon and pepper. She kicks you in the head and makes your thoughts swirl about. Excellent daytime stress relief medicine for sure. I shared some with my niece and she said “it’s like doing ecstasy, heroine and coke all at the same time” I don’t know about all that but it’s a very enjoyable experience. I fed her a fairly light diet at about 3/8 nutrient strength.
I really didn’t have any problem with her, except maybe she got a little bigger (to close to the light) than I’d expected. I was expecting more like 390g from her, maybe she didn’t enjoy the light feeding as well as I thought. No matter she is some top grade smoke that I’m going to love sharing.0
@Majin, Thanks brother. I have her under the 1000hps so she’s lit up to take full advantage of her huge yield potential. I think she’s rated up to 600/m2.
As I see you have 2 new Dinafem grows going with 2 amazing strains :)
Good luck mate and as you know I'll be along for the ride and watching with interest :)
This is going to be fun ;)
All the best

@Tazard, I've been following this diary since the beginning an amazing grow and I'm sure the harvest must be amazing can't wait to see your harvest report.
@Wolfheim, yes I chopped her she hung for 7 days and I’ll burp her sealed container every day for a week. But even now it tastes good like lemon. You can smell lemon more than before each time you burp the container. Her high is a nice balance between the cerebral and body, although I experience no couchlock with her.
@Wolfheim, I’m going to lollipop today (d52) she is rated at 9-10 weeks so I’ve scheduled her for 11 😊. She isn’t nearly close enough to done as her buds will likely require a 2 liter bottle for comparison!
@kaustav5569, I’m running a sealed tent. My ventilation system is a bit complicated but I’ll try. I am in a 10x11’ below grade room with a central air duct from the homes air conditioner. There is a 4x8’ flowering tent in the room. I have an air cooled water chiller. The exhaust from the chiller is ran into the tent, through the HPS and out of my growroom.
I have a dehumidifier in the sealed tent. The exhaust from the dehumidifier is routed to a 3 way connector near the top of my tent. One side is left open to the tent. The other side is routed to the warm air intake of a portable air conditioner (not the home air conditioning mentioned above) located adjacent to the tent.. The cold air output from the portable air conditioner is routed to a “cooling tunnel” on the floor of my flowering tent. My hydroponic tanks sit in cutouts in the tunnel for solution cooling the conditioned air exits the tunnel and re-enters the tent.
The air conditioners compressor cooling input is fed by duct from a carbon filter located in the room, outside the tent. The hot air output from the portable air conditioner is routed outside of the room and discharges into a second carbon filter. There are a couple of booster fans in-line as it is a long run. Oh yeah the hot air output from both the chiller and the air conditioner use insulated ducting. If/when I run the tent unsealed I use a 4” duct fan with a HEPA filter to push cool air from the room into the tent. Additionally, there is a temperature controller that can run a 6” inline exhaust fan. When I exhaust from the tent it is into the room. The room is maintained with negative pressure so no odor escapes the room. I’m sure I forgot something. Of course there is plenty of airflow within the tent (20” oscillating floor fan, 11” stationery floor fan, 6 clip on 8” fans not to mention the air flow from the dehumidifier and air conditioner). If you have any questions I’m happy to help.
I get a buzz just looking at that !!!
I one day hope to have such skill ! I'm going to follow you so I can learn the way's haha :D :D :D Keep up the kick ass work !!
-Happy Growing!
@Tazard, Well I'm sure your vast knowledge on the plant helps a lot too :D :D you cant just throw seeds in the ground and expect results like that to happen haha either way you did a really kick ass job and you merit a medal !
Oh yes, Now that the growth and stretch phase is over the focus has shifted to bud production and trichome development 👍
Thank you so much for advising another grow diary member buddy 👍 very nice to see 👊
The grow is looking in tip top shape and as always thank you for the diary update mate ✌️
Until next time 👊
All the best
Mark..
@Tazard, No problem buddy. I see she is showing her sativa side. Big long structured buds that are now starting to pack on that weight 😎
Nice work mate and thanks for the diary update 👍
All the best
Mark..
Looking awesome! I ran a similar strain from RQS, that was offered as a freebie. Same parent strains. One of the best smokes I’ve ever had. Hope this turns out even better!
@Tazard, Ain’t that the truth! I’ve learned to temper my expectations. It took me a while to gauge how much yield to expect. Now I’m pleasantly surprised when I get more.
@Stinkfox, really looking forward to seeing what she can do in flower. I’m hoping for a beautiful 36” tall 30” diameter near level canopy. By the numbers that’s around 275g. If I’ve learned anything from growing its that what you hope for and what you get depends on her as well as you.
@biggreens420, yeah I’m very happy with the results. I also trimmed the LA Confidential with it but there was so few leaves and the buds were so hard I didn’t feel it was a good test. But these were great. I was lazy and left the fan leaves on and had to cut the leaf stems off after but it was easy.
@@JackSpliff, Good luck my friend and thank you for choosing Dinafem seeds for your next adventure 👊
After seeing this grow I can see why and we won't let you down 👍
All the best ✌️

@J_D13, I’ve been fixated on the monster Hulkberry and just realized this is a monster too. 4’ tall been shortened by supercropping twice nice structure many tops. She is stacking up and looking like she will fill in the runs on the colas too. She is rated as high yield at 5-600g/m2.
@kaustav5569, at a minimum yes. However I change the solution when I have topped off 100% i.e. I put 5gal fresh solution in tank Monday, Tuesday I put 2.5gallon top off (generally 50% strength but I go by EC), Wednesday I top off another 2.5g then Thursday I would drain and give fresh. I’m probably wasting some nutes but I don’t know what they have used so I try and err on the side of caution.
@biggreens420, Thanks. I think she has the potential to fill in her runs too. Referring to our other conversation she is right beside the hulkberry and looks normal.
Do you wash your rockwool and clay balls with ph'd water to maintain a 5.8ph? Do you use ph down ? my solution temp is 30 degree celsius, tds 250ppm, ph-6.7 im using advanced nutrients can you tell me if its okay?
@kaustav5569, yes (see week 1 of quick Critical or most other Diaries for some reason no photos in here). No, I use pH Perfect. 250 is to high (I’m assuming this is before nutes) and really should not be used for hydroponics. I’d recommend an RO system.
@biggreens420, 9-10 weeks. I try to get a few amber trichomes before I chop. Some never get amber so I’ll harvest when she has a few amber or 1-2 weeks after the recommended time, when I get tired of waiting.
