Dinafem's Blue Critical Auto is a indica dominant cross of (Critical+ Auto x Blueberry Auto). Estimated life cycle of this strain is 70-80 days from germination. The setup for this grow will be as follows..
Tent size - 4'x4'x6.5'
6 in 440 CFM fan ducted to push through air cooled hood
6 gallon nursery containers
Pro-Mix HP + 20% extra perlite for aeration and drainage
600 watt HPS on dimmable ballast
Viparspectra PAR450 - add blue spectrum during veg
GH Flora Duo nutrients with GH Supplements,Terpinator and UC Roots
All measurements are recorded in ml/gal.
9/13 - Seed placed into moistened Rapid Rooter.
9/17 - She's above ground.
9/18 - Day 1 of Veg. Transplanted to her final home, vigorous taproot already through bottom of rapid rooter. Water PH to 6.1. Ballast set at 50% power(300 watts).
9/20 - Day 3, Not much to do right now. Just keeping moist as needed. Got a new TDS pen and calibration solution. I had a feeling something was wonky with the old one, and sure enough, it was off by 46 ppm. The new one has a calibration set screw. I will check it bi-weekly to make sure it stays calibrated, along with my PH pen.
9/21 - Day 4, gave some water PH to 6.1.
@BeefWellingtons, yep, It always seems that weird point with autos started in their final pot, the guessing game of how big the root mass is and how much to water until they are really established well. Thats what i like about photos, more forgiving in that aspect.
@@Fingers, ahhh, ok. So maybe increase the amounts of feed, but do it every 3 days or so? Soilless mediums hold the moisture in pretty well from what I've read.
Hey mate,
Just found your diary.
I didn't grow this strain, but a one called Fruit Automatic, from Dinafem as well.
I ran into the same problem of yellowing and curling very early. I think it's a bit weird.
Did you find the cause of this problem ?
Crazy thing is i got almost the same yield, but with a 52W LED. Maybe there's some kind of "yield cap" for the Dinafem Auto seeds
Cheers

@@Fingers, If you underfed her, mine was underunderunderfed ;) I will probably give em another shot, as I was quite happy with it. It's the 3rd time i grow Dinafem seeds,
@AxlWeed, nah i botched the grow and underfed her. If i had another shot at her, i could at least double the yield, shes vigorous. Dinafem is great gear!! give em another shot!
@BeefWellingtons, she;s doing her best despite me..lol im gonna flush her medium with a mild early/midbloom feed this week and see if she perks up a little.
