Critical Autopot

All is going great here.

All good here, she got transplanted ca. day 15

Big week here. The girl got moved into the tent and also into the Autopot system. I'm excited to see how the Autopot performs! There appeared some burns, I had been busy with xmas, so I didn't had that much time to attend her. I believe she will get back on track now. The biggest challenge is to keep the PH stable in the water tank.

It's been such a great week, the girl/girls love it in the Autopots! They exploded in size the past 7 days. I did the 2nd topping this week and I started the training as well and it shows. They are getting bushy. 1st day in week 6 I flip them to 12/12, cuz I believe they will soon fill up the tent. I have to say I enjoy working with the Gold Label nutrients. It gives more control having Magnesium and PK standing for themselves.

The first week of blooming went well. The girls like the autopot system, and I'm very happy with it as well, I wish to only grow this way in the future. I filled the water tank with ca. 90l nutrient solution 6 day ago(about the same time I flipped them to 12/12), and now there are 25l left. I've been adding a bit of Ph down every 2nd day, since it kept going up to 6.5. I really wish it would stay more stable! I added a bit of PK(0.25ml/l) to the feeding, in my experience it helps the girls to start blooming. Since the water in the tank started getting murky, I started adding H2O2 to try to keep things under control. The girls have visibly stretched. So far I've been doing the minimum amount of training, topping twice and binging down the top shoots, I hope I get some time to do a bit more soon. Oh, I've also been removing the lowest side branches, I want to avoid the popcorn buds as much as possible :)

One more week of blooming and the girls seem to have grown 20cm taller. I've cleaned the tank this week and added fresh nutrients, minus "Roots", and now the water seems to be staying cleaner. There are for sure some organics in the Roots, making the water murky and slimy. I'm still fitting to keep the Ph down all the time. I started giving them some Silica to get them nice and strong. I was considering for some time to get a camera instead of taking shots with my phone. Luckily I was visiting a friend in the weekend, he's a photographer, and he offered me to buy his old camera 👌 I'm quite happy with it! :D Thanks for stopping by, see you around, and happy growing! 😉

Another good week has gone. I'm super happy with the Autopot system, I can definitely recommend it! I did some defoliation this week and I also removed the lowest branches.

Such a great week! I increased the nutrients to EC 1.8 and the girls are loving it. The bud growth has exploded this week. I'm happy to be half way flowering, it's a big milestone. I have to say again that the Autopot system is really a game changer. I love it! It's so much more practical than a drip system. I'm also very happy with the Golden Label nutrients. For the last 3 weeks I've only been topping up the nuts in the tank, no cleaning, and it still looks nice and clean - the tank and the nutrient solution.

This week has been about buds. They are growing and growing and growing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One more great week. I'm curious how soon she will finish. I've seen criticals finish anywhere between 7-9 weeks. She's already quite huge, if she keeps on like this she'll end up massive. Thanks for stopping by!

It has been one more good week. I started using only RO water for the feeding and they seem to like the lower EC. I used up the Ultra MG, there was only 500ml in the combo pack, so I ordered a new one and one more combo pack. I'm happy with this brand of nuts, so I'll keep using them. There are clear signs we are approaching the finish line. I lowered the humidity to 45, and I think I'll go down to 40 next week as there are so seriously thick buds in there. I've also turned the ventilation to max.

What can I say? This is the first time I'm seeing such beautiful Critical buds. The smell is also surprisingly sweet/floral for a Critical. I would be very happy if the rest of the 14 Critical seeds I have left will turn out the same way.

Been flushing with RO water the last 5 days, I wished I did it sometime before as well, like in half boom. I know better for next time. This babe looks and smells amazing, I've never seen such a Critical before.

A big beautiful surprise. I always germinate one extra seed, just in case, and most of the times it's a Critical. Most of the times they turn out great!
