I'm my Best Critic

day 7 from germination i had my light too high so the seedlings stretched a lil bit.....i added a crutch until they get bigger...lowered my light ... have them in 1 gallon fabric pots and will switch to their final 5 gallon fabric pots about 1 week before switching to flower (that way i only have to transplant 1 time).... been feeding it normal phed water but will start the nutrients in a day or 2....got them under a 315 cmh light but i plan on buying a led light soon since this tent is a lot smaller then my last one.....the new tent is just like a ac infinity only cheaper in price by a company called lykos,has the thick bars and thick fabric just like the ac infinity tents only they cost less.... only bad side is they only sell smaller sized tents

day 15 from seed and this plant is growing super fast i think this is going to be one of them big huge bushy plants when i get to flower.... i think my ph pen needs calibrated as you can see the color of the leaves but nothing too big it's definitely not nutrient related but is ph related.... i added some crystals to my tent known to promote fast healing and for protection (they say music makes plants grow better so i am experimenting to see if adding a few crystals in my tent does anything i'm not someone practicing witchcraft or something lol just for fun really)😅

day 21 from seed and ran into a problem: my heat is getting too high causing my plants to soak up more nutrients then normal getting slight burnt tips....until i can get temps down i'll try feeding at half strength....both plants have been topped...the chempie has a good smell coming from it already but is stunted by the heat....the critical is growing a lot faster then most of my plants but it's sucking up nutrients more causing burnt tips....hope i can get my temps down without using a a/c...my only options are going led lights and getting rid of the cmh or buying a portable a/c , just trying to keep them alive until then😐

day 28 from seed and still dealing with high temps which is causing it to take in more nutrients and giving the leafs burnt tips ,so I'm feeding light on nutrients, has been topped multiple times and starting to get a lil bit of a smell to it... i ordered a portable a/c from amazon and sure enough today got a message saying they are refunding me i guess the deliver person dropped the a/c and broke it ugh lol

day 35 from seed, this plant has been topped multiple times and i transplanted it into it's final 5 gallon pot, super stinky then again all critical kush strains are stinky lol....doesn't even seem to be stressed from the transplanting and topping i also took off a few of the big leafs that i could not tuck away just to let the bottom branches get light, still dealing with high temps around 82 degreesF but i put my bigger exhaust fan in so the temps should get better, I'm saving up to get a led light for flower i plan on using a led light with 301h samsung diodes because i heard a lot of good things about 301h diodes until then i'll veg for 2 more weeks under the 315 watt cmh then i will switch to flower, i also have some branches tied down trying to even out the canopy.... i don't usually veg out this long but due to high heat i have to veg a few extra weeks to get the plant the size i usually get it when i flip to flower, no big deal i got plenty of oil and wax left from my last grow to last me for a few more months lol, has that typical critical kush smell to it now and anyone that has grown cirtical kush knows its a strong smelling strain definitely need a carboin filter to hide the smell of this one😀

day 42 from seed and this will prolly be my last week of veg, i topped multiple times and want a week before i flip to get the new branches a chance to come out, i also tied down the branches as low as they could go or this plant would be twice as tall....but regular feeding schedule and this plant is doing fine...easy to grow so far😀

day 1 of flower...i went ahead and flipped the lights to 12 hours even though the many toppings has not show the new growth yet in hope of keeping the plants short....the tent has been hot so i will adjust my fans and hope it gets better... i plan on using my veg feed schedule for the next 2 weeks and transition the nutrients to the flower nutrient at the beginning of week 3 flower... not much of a smell yet unless i touch the leaves but with this being critical strain i expect the smell to get strong once buds form... oh i also went ahead and lollipopped the bottom growth before the flip about 4 days ago😀

start of week 2 of stretch and this strain is not stretching much maybe 2 inches of growth....not really a strong smell yet but a lot of strains wont start smelling strong until later in flower....feeding it veg nutrients during week 2 stretch and will switch the flowering nutrients in week 3, plant doing great so far😀

start of week 3 of flower ,today i finally switched to flower nutrients,will defoliate one more time at the end of the week and be good to go...this plant stayed short isnt stretching much and weird it real;ly does not have much of a smell like my other plants get at this time...maybe it is a strain that does not get the smell until the last few weeks but it is weird most of the critical strains i grow usually stanky a lot about now, maybe just the phenome i still have 2 more seeds from this strain so i'll just grow again some other grow and hope to find the stinky strain i like...besides that it's staying healthy😐

START OF WEEK 4 FLOWER THE PLANT STAYED SMALL THROUGH THE STRETCH, STILL NO SMELL COMING FROM IT YET MY OTHER STRAIN IS SMELLING STRONG AND NOT MANY TRICOMES YET,BUT IT IS ONLY WEEK 4 FLOWER MAYBE THIS STRAIN PUTS ON THE SMELL AND TRICOMES LATER IN FLOWER...SWITCHED TO FLOWER NUTRIENTS....ONLY THING LEFT NOW TO DO IS FEED UNTIL FLUSH TIME, I DID DEFOLIATE MORE LEAVES AT THE END OF 3RD WEEK FLOWER😀

beginning of week 5 flower and this strain is staying short the way i wanted it too i think defoliating on week 2 helped slow the stretch, there is 2 phenomes of this strain one grows tall with kush smell or taste and the one i got stays small and has a citrus mixed with sweet gum and earthy smell... i was worried because at week 3 of flower i had no crystals or smell on this plant but it is just later in flower and the crystals slowly starting to appear and smell getting stronger...i lowered the lighs a bit to see what happens, just gonna keep feeding by the nutrient schedule that i formulated and see how it does... i also been adding 1 teaspoon of unsulfured molasses with he nutrient schedule per week...if your plant has no smell or crystals early in flowering this strain dont worry it comes later in flower then most other strains but it will come😀

start of week 6 flower and plant stayed short but buds getting bigger....i have been dealing with heat issues in the grow tent....only thing i will change next time i grow this i will only top twice instead of a lot of times to shorten the veg time and the smell of this is like sweet bubblegum mixed with kush i will start my 2 week flush at the end of the week😀

week 7 and the flowers have bulked up a little bit , i will start the 2 week flush today...smelling like some bubble gum mixed with the kush smell to me....i like how short this plant stayed but next time i will only top twice and lst instead of topping like 10 times...my neighbor came over today and let me know he could smell my plants from next door and i am using a brand new filter lol so this definitely is smelling great👍

i have to take my plants down a week early due to my in-laws coming to stay at my house for a week (i dont want them to know i grow lol ) only got 1 week flush and and chopping them early will also effect my yield....i checked the tricomes and most of them are milky so it's not too early just wish i would of got more time before the chop, i wont even be able to put them through the 2 day dark schedule due to this...the flowers did bulk up over the week and smell good but i feel like my finish product would of been a lot better if i had the extra grow time to give it.... i will update with a harvest week after drying these😊

well i got 2.5 ounces of dried flower because i don't weight it wet....i also made about 6 grams of rosin between 2 plants so i split that in half to 3 grams of rosin....also got tons of sugar leaves to make some hash today with the bubble bags.... i had the harvest this plant about 1 and a half weeks too early to hide from some relatives i didn't want knowing lol....so i lost out on the last few weeks of harvest, only like half of the trichomes were milky the rest were clear... i tried some of the dried product right now before putting it into curing jars and this taste like kush mixed with sweet candy to me, stayed real small and heavy buds for the size light i used....even though this round of growing might of been my worst yield ever because of early harvest it still gets me high thankfully and has a real good taste, i know there are 2 other phenomes of this strain but i got the small one with indica type of buds more then sativa very dense and sticky... i got 2 more seeds of this later i know i'll work my way up to a half pound at least off them 2 seeds now i know not to top as many times😀
