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!
This is one of the first Quick critical grows up and running on the grow diary platform 😎
She's a special strain and we can't wait to see how she performs in your garden 👊
Good luck with this grow my friend, we will be watching with interest 👍
All the best

@Tazard, That's what we like to hear mate 👍
Good luck for you search for the perfect Quick critical mother 👊
I'll drop back in on the next update buddy ✌️
All the best

@DinafemSeeds, I’m planning a mother from one of the 3 growing. Honestly except for the one wide leaf that is webbed on one plant all 3 are nearly identical both in development and appearance.
I love the Critical/Critical + strains! They all reacted well from topping and training and yielded some of the highest of my yields all time. Looking to see this one grow up!! 🙀
@@Chi_Town_White_Boy, Thanks. I grew a Critical Plus and this is supposed to be the same in taste and effect + a man could easily run this 7 times a year probably 8
Holy sheep shit you use a lot of additives. I’ve never seen so many.
I use 5 for my whole grow start to finish and the most I use at one time is 4.
I cannot imagine that your weed is $500 better than my weed. So how do you justify all of those?
I’m trying to ask in the most non offensive way I know, I’m not trying to be critical. Just a question.
@KilgoreTrout, actually I’m doing just that. You look at some newer grows and they will have only the bud igniter big bud overdrive and flawless finish with base during the appropriate time.
To answer from your other post. I replace what is used daily with the amount of base needed to get the appropriate ppm.
I don’t know what nutrients they have used.
Reservoir is drained and flushed out with phd ro water minimum every 2 weeks. However if one of the reservoir systems exceeds 100% top off then it is drained and flushed with new fresh nutrient solution at that time. Some of my 5’ tall plants had res changed every 3 days.
To explain if a reservoir system (1 veg 1 transitioning 1 flower 1 late flower 1 flush) happens to say hold 10 gallons and the plants on that system use 2 gal of solution a day then the reservoir system would be flushed out and refilled every 5 days.
@Tazard,ok so clarify this for me. I do hand watered coco drain to waste. So I just add water and nutes.
You’re doing DWC? So in my mind you have a resovoir that you add water to as needed and nutrients as needed based on your PPM? Is that correct?
So you check ph and ppm keep them in range. The plant takes the water and nutrients and you just ad them back? How do you know which nutrients the plant is using?
So for example plants use less N during flower but you keep adding your full line? Sorry it’s confusing to me. Or I don’t have the full picture.
So say you’re flushing at the end of your grow. You dump the resovoir and then start over with whatever you may or maynot use to flush?( I just use ph’d water)
@Tazard,ok so if you look at my grow right now I’m using 4 things in veg. Then I’ll add a small amount of pk13/14 in the sixth week of flower and lastly molasses. So six things. Totaling about $75 and I use half of most per grow. So $32.50 per grow two plants. Last grow on my old lights (one 400w mh/hps and a couple chineseum blurples) with my nutrients I figured .47 per gram including electricity. (I use a smart plug to precisely monitor my tent electricity usage seed to harvest) this time I’m using about 25% kWh less per hour and I’m expecting higher yeilds(quantum boards).
I’ve tried all the adjuncts with the line that I use(canna) including their boost with is liquid gold the way they price it and I’ve never gotten enough of an improvement to justify anything beyond just Esentials. The math just doesn’t compute. Are you sure yours does? Meaning if you take away all the non esentials do you yeild less than they cost? I wonder if you should try?
Critical+ can be a very heavy feeding strain mate and this has transferred to her "Quick" variant 👍
The time to increase feed is now as she will need as much food as possible so those buds reach there peak performance 👍
Looking good so far. Remember these are "quick" so expect day 45-49 harvest 👊
All the best ✌️

@OutForReal, Thanks brother. For 49 days I’m really impressed with quantity and quality (I swiped a low branch at day 42 and the Dinafem description was dead on. She compares in taste and high to Critical Plus but a week quicker. I’m not sure about the couchlock but hey I also found LA Confidential to be an energetic little strain! When I’ve shared it I’ll know. They said that the LA was a narcotic or sedative high so it’s me not the medicine.
@Nebula420, Thanks. I’ve grown Critical Plus and they promise similar effects (in spite of 25% more indica) similar yields a week faster. I may keep a mother from these.
@Growmun, upon further investigation I noticed the yellowing around the leaves began around week 13 on this diary at that time my PPM was 650 at That low of an EC it would be difficult to believe that we’re nitrogen burns??
I found a chart that shows how to dial in your EC on a hydroponic reservoir please see the photograph in week 12 of my Dinamed CBD plus I believe what we’re seeing might be burns from low pH because when I had my reservoir at to low of a nutrient concentration I would go to bed and wake up the next morning and the pH would be 4.8 having fallen from 5.8 the previous night.
@Growmun, Hopefully with the higher EC my pH will be much more stable. I was able to go almost 2 days while she drank almost 2 gallons of water out of the reservoir and my pH did not move nor did my EC! Glorious to have a balanced system!!!!
Are you sure you are at week 7 (day 49) of bloom?
You look to be more like 35 day's into bloom going off the picture's?
Things look good from here buddy 👌
All the best ✌️

@DinafemSeeds, 😂🤣😂🤣 I pulled a fast one on you. If you look back a week or two I killed the other Quick Critical and switched the other that was rejected as the mother. This update (diary week 13) is 4weeks of flower. The D26 on the photo is short for day 26. I just felt really bad about the root rot and I had this other quick critical plus in flower that was so beautiful figured hey just switch it over. She will be 7 weeks (day 49) on December 8th. I will also restart a Gorilla diary on December 4th or so.
