Apologies for the pictures. I didn't expect things to go so smooth (touch wood) so I had no intentions to make a diary until now which is week six. I dont have as much pictures as I should have took but will keep it updated as of now. My purpose of this diary is for advice. I've done a ton of reading to avoid rookie mistakes however im still needing advice. My biggest issue right now is space.... I had no idea how big these fellas would grow since 12 / 12 but now im struggling and dont have the heart to throw any out. And I have been in flowering a week now and cant tell if my flowering has worked?

Starting to fatten up now and things are getting frosty! Still no issues yet so I'm happy! Added a net to try spread things out and allow more light to pass but as you can see I have no fecking clue what I'm doing. Should i trim some more?

Not much to say! Girls are continuing to get fatter and packing on the crystals. As soon as the tent opens my house is consumed by the smell of kush, just kinda want to live in there.

Not a good week unfortunately. Fed them too much and burnt them slightly. Fixed my mistake so back on the mend. One week or so left I think so only plain water

Overall very happy with the grow. Got 24oz of very dense nugs! I also managed to get 2oz of less dense but still pretty bag-appeal, and a shit ton of trim which I made into tidy ass brownies, which have made typing this incredibly difficult😂! Both of these strains are definitely bed time strains. The Critical kush is has the usual overwhelming kush taste, however the peyote(purple nugs) have a very sweet / flowery taste and smell. Disappointed I only done 1 peyote but more than happy with the critical. Would definitely grow both these strains again!

Hi there! Having grown these for my last diary, I would recommend you to defoliate more (I regret not doing it more on my plants). They are beautiful and bushy, so there is enough green matter. Just don't strip the completely. That which you shouldn't do in my humble opinion is taking off the lower leaves cause they tell you when you have NPKMg deficiencies and you can find a remedy earlier. Take off the leaves that hide potential bud spots only. Also you can trim all the lower smaller branches after defoliation IF they still don't receive light. They will become nothing else but popcorn buds otherwise. :) Hope this helped you.

@Chewyyyy, thanks for your input guys. I've added some more pictures and although you can't really tell, I have trimmed a fair bit (little bit each day). Should i go further with the trimming?

i jave abused mine for months before i got this new rdwc sorted. Barneys farm genetics are solid. all my ladies have come through hell from similar mistake that went long term! i have 4 way mainlined her now and stripped her twice before flipping her( 5 days now). jer regrowth and re leaf has been shocking. by far one of the most resiliant i have grown ever. . these ladies usually yield well. good luck

@ScotlandHaze, i hear ya mate. try coco. better than soil and nearer hydro for yield growth ect. cant overwater it. allows the roots to grow quickly too. way easier than soil in my opinion. i never felt any diff in taste or potency between soil and coco either. all about the drying and curing but thats another story.!. dwc is easy once you get support to do it right and mix the right nutes ect. so simple to follow but not understand if trying to do it alone , hence my absolute nightmare start to this new medium for me. i took advice and it really is simple and astounding how quick things change. i am a true convert to it after 15 years in nft and coco. if you ever change your mind please dont hesitate to shout out for help. so many will happily come walk you through every step. enjoy your ladies

@Ganjagrandaddy, I’d love to try some sort of dwc grow but i just don’t understand it yet. I’d guaranteed mess up the nutes so until I can master a soil grow I’m not even gonna attempt it. Really enjoyed growing this strain though, your right, super resilient and pretty noob-friendly (thankfully).. gonna add some last pics before harvest and chopp her over the weekend. She looks pretty rewarding. Thanks buddy and all the best with your grow also!

@PureMedicin, it sits roughly at 50 at the moment, still learning how to use this site. Should probably lower it though. Cheers for the info though mate its all a learning curve for me.

how is the peyote cookies i want that strain so bad and everytime i try to get seedbank is out of them
ScotlandHaze
ScotlandHazecommented6 years ago
@Chaos85, Peyote is the black looking plant. Only done 1 peyote and I wish I done more. It is under my cheap led so it’s not as fat as the rest but lt looks amazing and smells extremely strong. Defo worth growing mate

Don't flush yet, give it one more week and then check. Probably will be 2 weeks, but one more week of nutrients and you will be a lot closer to the window. Tons of white pistils and not really yellowing leaf tips yet.
ScotlandHaze
ScotlandHazecommented6 years ago
@BeefWellingtons, Thanks for your advice buddy! I’ll give her another week of nutes and see how she looks.

SeedLovercommentedweek 86 years ago
Very beautiful and healthy! That bushiness! I think you can/should defoliate more even though it looks wonderful. I'm sure that there are even more buds that are hidden. Good job!

Grizzly_Growscommentedweek 16 years ago
when you switch over to 12/12 you're not going to see change straight away. normally the plant will tell you when she is mature through preflower. but don't worry, stick to your light schedule and they will make the switch after some time. they will still continue to grow throughout the first few weeks as well.

@Grizzly_Grows, Thanks for the heads up bud. Reading up most people see flower on roughly a week, im a week today so I was abit concerned. Happy growing mate!
