Germinated in glass of water for 48 hours, then into Purple Cow Starter Mix in a propagation tray with T5 fluorescent bulb.
She popped right up the next day.
She’s already an inch tall and growing like a weed. Another day or two and I’ll put her in a 3 gallon permanent pot.
Saturday her second set of leaves are coming in, she’s about 2 inches tall and I transplanted her to a 3 gallon fabric pot filled with Coast of Maine Stonington Blend and watered her in.
Compact, quick to flower and capable of producing abundant crops, Critical 2.0 XL Auto seeds are the second generation of the ever-popular Critical line. They are suitable for beginners but take a little extra attention because they can be susceptible to mold and pests. Watch out for spider mite, if you spot it early they should recover well. Although they can be grown in any environment, they are particularly suited to small outdoor areas like balconies or courtyards.
Created by crossing Critical 2 Auto with the CBD pheno of an unknown Ruderalis, this relaxing, medical strain flowers quickly in 45 days. The Critical 2.0 Auto parent is a bestseller known for its potency and widely used as medical strain. With the addition of the CBD Ruderalis, its therapeutic potential has been boosted with 3% CBD. Now it is just as potent but offers additional benefits to medical users.
Distinguishable by its thin stem and thick overall shape, plants have short internodal spacing and tightly packed appearance. It has medium-sized leaves that cover the entire plant and add to the grow experience as you see the beautifully crystallized buds slowly reveal themselves from the foliage. With a little bit of management, this can be a very productive plant, and you can quickly turn it around and squeeze in another crop.
With an incredibly powerful aroma, this is one of the most pungent autos available, and you will quickly realize how potent those nugs will be. Critical 2.0 XL provides and calm, relaxing high and is so richly flavored you’ll keep coming back for more.

She’s in the tent. I put her on a box so that she’s closer to the light. It’s kind of an experiment so we’ll see how she does compared to previous babies.
She doubled in size in 24 hours.
She’s looking good, I’ll continue using the box for babies.
She’s growing very well so far, not too much like the first run.
She’s looking good. Growing at a good rate and leaves look good.
She’s already showing growth at the nodes. Hope she doesn’t get too big.
I gave her nutrients for the first time.
She started getting some wind towards the end of the week.
She’s starting to grow more now. Almost 3 inches per day. Hopefully she’ll slow down a little. I guess we’ll see how big she can get in a 3 gallon pot.
Her leaf tips are telling me that she’ll be getting water only for the next couple of waterings.
She’s growing very quickly but she’s looking good. I’m giving her just additives without the nutrients for now.
This is the second Critical plant to grow nanners. Don’t know what’s going on with my GOG seeds but I’m not having good luck with them. I pulled this plant and culled it. Depressing.
Hey, there friend. Congratulations on some healthy-looking young ladies there! Would you be okay with me offering you some pointers just based on the information in your diary? I hope it is okay with you I would love to help out any way I can. So cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity, The buds HATE it. When our plants are young this applies even more so, Our plants are tiny = our roots are tiny. We can really speed up their development through this slow stage of growth with a nice warm humid climate, We want around 79-84 MAX with lights on and no more than 9 degrees less with lights off.
We can supplement our small root structures with humidity in the environment for the leafs to have some foliar intake. 60-70% works great for the first couple weeks. If you do not have a humidifier, Get one. If you want to help your tent in the meantime you can add a 5 gallon bucket of water in there with no lid on to passively raise the humidity up a bit it works fairly well in a warmer tent.
The reason in veg & early flower we want our temperature gaps tight between lights on and lights off, Is if we allow for too large of swings beyond more than 10 degrees at this stage our plants will stretch a lot and we do not want that. Once our plants finish their vertical growth by weeks 4-6 of flower with photoperiods, Autoflowers we watch for it by eye. Once this happens we can now begin widening those temp gaps between lights on and off to more than 10 degrees less with lights off & a bit more each week until harvest. This will help us get a real nice finish on our product helping simulate the ending of the season & signaling our plants to respond genetically as such. Sending extra energy into the budding process and resin production as the plant is now focused on ensuring a successful reproduction. Bigger flower clusters = more seeds & stickier the plant the more pollen it is going to attract successfully. All the responses we want from the plant to draw out the desired aspects are genetic triggers within the plant that we must activate. Colder feed temps in the last week & light deprivation in the last 2 weeks to simulate cloud cover help as well.
If you have yet to do so, Grab yourself a PAR meter & a thermal laser temp gun like the fluke 62 MAX to better read your plants and grow to their needs. These pieces of equipment will also help us dial in our optimal light to plant distance and get the most PAR onto our ladies to photosynthesize & turn into vigorous growth. Also, I would recommend looking into VPD, Vapor pressure deficit & how it relates to growing cannabis. All growers should familiarize themselves with this & learn to read a VPD chart and log their rooms numbers daily.
If you got a minute check out my 200 light 7,000 plant diary and my flashback greenhouse diary to see how these actions impact your plant's quality in the end. If you should have any questions please do not hesitate to ask me I am always willing to help people out. I am currently producing a youtube tutorial series for all levels of growers to utilize if that interests you please take the time to hop over and subscribe. It is linked off my grow diaries profile. Good luck & I know you will do a great job with this one!
@LegacyMarketFarm,
Thanks so much for the info. All knowledge is welcomed as I definitely have more to learn. I do have a humidifier and heating mats in the tent and a dehumidifier for the summer to control conditions as much as possible. I know I have a long way to go to get to my dream setup but at the moment I’m just grateful to have a crappy tent and light to grow with at all. Due to a degenerative bone disease I live on a very small fixed income and am working with no budget for grow supplies. I grow for myself and my husband and don’t sell anything so I try to do the best I can with what I have. I really appreciate the support, advice and knowledge so definitely keep it coming. Eventually I’ll be able to put the knowledge into practice!
Happy growing! ☮️💜😮💨😮💨
