She was soaked in a pH’d water solution with 20ppm gibberellic acid for 24 hours she cracked her shell within 12 hours of wetting. Her rockwool and associated hydrotron was also soaked for 24 hours in a pH’d water solution with 20ppm gibberellic acid. After the 24 hour soak the seeds rockwool and hydrotron were placed in a 3” net pot with a nutrient feeding tube attached to the bottom. I will keep an eye on the rockwool to make sure it doesn’t dry out. However I think the capillary action through the hydrotron will be sufficient. I was looking at Hawaiian Wave when I added this net pot to the tank and the bottom inch of the hydrotron was damp.
They are looking awesome I couldn’t be happier. If you look closely you will see that one of the first true leaves is webbed. I’ve never seen this on the first leaf before. Initially I thought it was a wide leaf but it’s actually webbed. Breeders have tried to isolate webbed leaves as it greatly increases the surface area.
They are coming along very nicely. I took my first cutting from the mother this week. I cut her back to the 4th node and began cloning the cutting. I trimmed the leaves and branches below the top and put her in a net pot with about an inch of her stem extending below the pot that was dipped in clonex gel. I put the net pot in my veg tank and hopefully I’ll get roots in the next week or two. Thanks again for looking!
Short week this week. One of the two quick critical plus is at 12” so I’ve moved her to flower. The smallest one is about 9” now. I’ve cloned the mother once and mommy and baby are fine. This diary will continue only with the one in flower. Let the show begin!
She’s of flower to a great start! I’m hoping that she will stretch out to about 30 inches but I suspect that it will probably be closer to 24” but we shall see!
She looks awesome! I supercropped her main stem and tied it over the end of the week. I’ll leave it tied for a couple of days to stimulate the side branches growth.
What a week she broke free from the tie I had but 4 radials are now at about the same level and there wouldn’t have been room for me to lower the hps. She has some premature yellowing on her lower leaves so I’ve increased her feed strength from 3/8 to 1/2.
She is still showing a potassium deficiency. Next week I will increase the feed to 10ml/gal AB and 5ml/gal additives. You can see her buds are developing very nicely.
🤦♂️ I have root rot 😞 I bought a commercial duty air pump to replace my 5 large aquarium pumps. It has air to spare feeding my 8 12” air stones 😁 but it gets hot. The pump was over 90°F and the manifold was 81°F so basically I was pumping hot air into the nutrient solution directly below each plant. I have added air conditioning around the air pump and now I have the manifold temperature at 71°F still a little warmer than I would like but I am hoping it will be fine. I’m probably going to lose this plant and the Gorilla but I’m going to try cleaning the roots in a H2O2 bath and see if I can save her.
I have her cousin (the 2nd runner up from the mother selection) in flowering now and will incorporate her back into this diary (she is 2 weeks behind but absolutely beautiful).
She is doomed 😂
We hung her for about 4 days and then had a smoke. Lemon flavor like her mother (Critical Plus) and a nice high like her mother.
As I said on the last update I will just switch this diary over to the other Quick Critical I didn’t choose as a mother plant. She looks much better than this one ever did. She is about 2 weeks behind (17 days) so the diary weeks won’t match but I’ll be sure to label the weekly photos.
I think she has a potassium deficiency (yellowing tips on edges). She is hungry! Each day the buds are swelling more and more. December 8 is her day 49 and it cannot get here fast enough!
She has gotten fatter this week as we approach her 5 week mark. I have her scheduled for 7, as recommended. She isn’t happy with me about something. I thought the yellow leaf edges were a potassium deficiency but I’m not sure anymore especially since I’ve raised the EC over the past weeks.
She is in the final stretch of the race, she is putting on her show as she swells. She is looking like she’s about to drip with resin. I can barely wait for the 8th!!!!
Probably the last update since I’m chopping her Saturday. I’ll give her pH’d RO water beginning Thursday. She is making foxtails and I suspect that’s her way of telling me she’s done.
