Havent smoked much of it yet but its a nice body high, unfortunately the buds are a bit airy and actually had some seeds. I think maybe they didn't like the pre-harvest icing. I have 1 more of these seeds and I'll probably be replacing the lights with a t5 setup so well see how that goes

If anyone has any advice on getting a larger harvest or any ideas on why these girls produced some seeds let me know! I really needed a lot more off these girls so I am disappointed, but seeing as its my first grow I don't think things went too terribly

Flush your soil with ph'd plain water..just plain water will do..couple times.. then cut your nutes to half and go from there.. less nutes is better many times πŸ‘Œ hope this helps πŸ‘Š Happy grows and springtime! πŸ‘½

Hope you are feeling better. Stomach bugs are awful. I hesitate to say that you have a phosphorus deficiency. I think you need to do more testing/research to find out what is going on with your plants. Are you taking pH readings of your water and feedings? What are the PPM? Have you thought of doing a slurry test? I read that this type of deficiency shows up if the soil is too compact, or you are over-watering. How much of the plant is affected? How often do you feed your plants? I water about every 3 days and my schedule is feed/feed/Recharge. Recharge is a microbial supplement. Do you have any way to test the moisture levels in your soil? The reason I say all of this is so you don't just start adding supplements, hoping to correct the balance. Sometimes its a simple thing like letting your soil dry out, or adjusting your pH. Maybe these strains are not fond of a lot of nutes.

These plants are looking choice! Everyone is happy and healthy. Buds are looking real frosty! In my experience, harvesting about 10 weeks into showing flowers is a good rule of thumb. I use that to figure out my feeding schedules. Each plant is different though. Some take longer, some shorter. Look up your strain on the breeder's website. They give you a flowering range. Start the number of days when you actually see flowers, not when you flipped to 12/12.

@ChainsawSanta, I have 2 tents. I use 1 for autos and the other for photos. I'm having fun with the auto tent. Way more harvests and the plants have looked killer so far. I'd like to do some perpetual harvests this fall.
ChainsawSanta
ChainsawSantacommented6 years ago
@Quexos, Oh the tents going on the other side of the room from the closet haha. The ceiling over there is waaaay higher than the closet so itll be able to vent that heat off. I just cant grow my max number of plants in the closet and I want to be able to harvest more often so I figure itll be easier to split the grows
Quexos
Quexoscommented6 years ago
@ChainsawSanta, You have to be careful if you put your tent in the closet. If your tent is too big there is no room for ventilation and you will have a difficulties with heat. Why don't you just use the closet and make it grow ready? There are lots of ways to tame some of those big plants. You can also look for hybrids that grow shorter.

Gratz on your harvest! Did you find and "nanners" in your buds? They will hold pollen and you could end up with seeds. A lot of the bud density you are looking for comes from light intensity during flowering and strain you are growing. I've found the buds under my QB lights are bigger and denser then the ones under my COB set-up. Start eliminating the variables that inhibit your bud growth. You will start seeing improvements in your yields.
ChainsawSanta
ChainsawSantacommented6 years ago
@Quexos, I could but at that point I feel like your probably not benefiting as much in terms of electricity use. Imma keep mine around for supplemental lighting if I need it (unless someone locally wants to buy it off me haha Im not shipping this thing). But yeah, plus my main support in the closet is a thick pvc pipe I mounted with some 4x6's, its pretty strong but I wouldn't want multiple setups on it haha
Quexos
Quexoscommented6 years ago
@ChainsawSanta, I'm running 500w COB Combo in my 3x3. It's a Blomm. I think its a knock-off from a European Company. I bought it on Amazon. It seemed fine at first, but I'd like something with more ooomph. My plan is to move the QB from my 4x4 into my 3x3 and buy a new, larger QB for my 4x4. I don't think I'm using enough of the space in my bigger tent. I guess you could also run multiple lights in the tent.

ChainsawSantacommented6 years ago
@Quexos, Yeah the LED model I have now is from the 'kingplus' brand, I dunno I feel like I read a lot of reviews before I got it but everything about it now just kinda sketches me out. Vivosuns a nice brand tho, and a 400w should cover a 4x4 pretty well so I'm hoping for some nice results with em

Your girls are looking great! How about a few shots w/o the purple lights?
Quexos
Quexoscommented6 years ago
@ChainsawSanta, The lights are fine. Pictures come out all purple under the lights. It's difficult to see those newly forming buds!
ChainsawSanta
ChainsawSantacommented6 years ago
@Quexos, haha yeah all ive got is the one light. its supposed to put out 1500w but I'm not sure how much I trust that. I'm gonna see how it does for these girls flowering and figure out if I need to get another light or a better light. Also I just got home haha so Imma try to take a plant out in a little bit lol
Quexos
Quexoscommented6 years ago
@ChainsawSanta, I have 2 different lights on my system. I've been turning the purple ones off for photos. It's not big deal if you can't take them out. It just provides better pictures of your grow.

Looking strong and healthy! Isn't this supposed to be an auto? My girl hasn't flipped yet either. I'm hoping this week. Since this strain takes a long time to get to flowering, topping and LST was a good idea. I've seen some of these journals. This strain tends to get kinda wild. You gotta train 'em early!😎

Quexoscommented6 years ago
@ChainsawSanta,https://www.dutch-passion.com/en/cannabis-seeds/product/auto-critical-orange-punch/ No matter though. If its not an auto, all the links in the world aren't going to make it flower!😟

@Quexos, Yeah that's weird I cant find an auto version of the Peyote Criticals, mustve been a packaging mistake or something. Yeah though these are definitely some beauties, and potent too!
Quexos
Quexoscommented6 years ago
@ChainsawSanta, Hmm, the package said auto, and I got on their website and they have an auto version. I'm not sure where to put this plant if I have to flip it. She is going to be gorgeous either way. I love the structure of this plant so far.

Nice looking buds you got there hombre. You've done a nice job. Flushing, harvesting,trimming, etc., are all highly subjective. I'd get a bunch of ideas from people and find a process that works for you. My process is probably a mish mash of a bunch of different sources. I'll do a final flush with filtered water. I'm looking for the run-off to look clear. Then I'll put them back in the tent, under lights, for 3 days. This gives the plants a chance to flush out and remove toxins. It also gives the soil/roots a chance to dry out. Then I turn the lights off for another 3 days to stress them out and hopefully increase potency/flavor. Some people will put ice cubes and snow on the soil and really stress them out. I'm just looking for them to finish up their business.
ChainsawSanta
ChainsawSantacommented6 years ago
@Quexos, I just gave em water that was about 50 degrees but the weathers been nice here the past few days so temps in the closet have been pretty stable. 75-80 in the day and about 70 at night
Quexos
Quexoscommented6 years ago
@ChainsawSanta, That sounds like a good plan. I only worry about water temperature in the winter. How cold are you going to make the water? If you make it too cold, too early, there could negative effects.
ChainsawSanta
ChainsawSantacommented6 years ago
@Quexos, Thanks! ive been giving them warm water with their nutes so I think Ill start by giving them cold water and see how they handle that, I think I'm going to flush them for about 2 weeks so I think I'll start really stressing them about a week in. Both the caregivers I know irl say 10-14 days is what they do. Plus I think especially cuz these are indicas I can get away with another 2 full weeks and they can only get fatter haha
Quexos
Quexoscommentedweek 106 years ago
Everything is looking great! Nice bud formation and its pretty early in flowering!!! Pay close attention to the tips of your leaves after you up the % of your nutes. You want to watch for nutrient burn.
ChainsawSanta
ChainsawSantacommented6 years ago
@Quexos, haha I text my brother when I water them so kinda. they just seem to be sensitive but its getting better. Also Ive heard that too, I think ill start trying some techniques around the same time as I start to flush them
Quexos
Quexoscommented6 years ago
@ChainsawSanta, Do you keep track of how often and how much you water? Keeping track of watering will prevent emergency waterings. Although some growers stress their plants out by underwatering on purpose. Supposedly it increases potency, resins, etc.. Just old growing folklore though. I don't know if there is any validity to doing that.
ChainsawSanta
ChainsawSantacommented6 years ago
@Quexos, thanks! yeah I bumped em up to 12 mls of bloom last night. they seem to be responding really well. I kept having issues with when they needed water I was having to do it ASAP cuz they were getting really wilted and sad real quick but that seems to be improving. and the budsites seem to love it haha. id say some of them are about the size of nickels already and they just finished stretching so hopefully they do somethin special!

Now that the time passed, what tips would you give me to grow this strain? Hoe about the harvest? And the effect/smell? Thanks!!
ChainsawSanta
ChainsawSantacommented6 years ago
@Psilocubensis, this was a really nice strain to grow, I wish I had given them another 2 weeks of veg time and taken off more of the small lower growth but since this was my first grow I didn't want to over due it. but mine were really hardy and took to training well so I think it would've really helped with bud density. my new crop is being grown under an mh/hps setup and I think this strain would've really benefited from that also. but overall its just a really nice quality strain, great heavy indica and a really rich earthy smell. although I didn't use molasses to flush them so if you do that they might have a sweeter smell/taste but I liked it anyways haha

mines had a couple seeds too, and got a bit airy...but maybe because I was growing with CFL all the way. anyway, congrats to the harvest!

@ChainsawSanta Is your namesake power tool your harvest method?? πŸ˜† πŸ˜‚ You wrote β€œ...they'll most likely start their flush this week, probably going to flush them for 10 day..” The number of days is inconsequential. Give her at least three clean waterings prior to harvest. And then let her dry out. Nice work so far. Enjoy your harvest.
