The Clone War - Critical Kush

OutForReal 🍃🌿🌱Welcome to the Clone War🌱🌿🍃 Day one February the 5th I've been growing this strain for a year now and I think it is time to tell her good bye so I'm flowering my last and only clone of Critical Kush by Barney's Farm. It is interesting to notice that the original plant were harvested and ready after 55 days of flowering but every clones have been ready after only 50 days with the same trichomes ratio So cloning makes me win almost a week so if you are methodical you can harvest every 50 days so 7 harvest a year to the most dynamic growers 😁✌️🏼

OutForReal Flo + 8 - 13.02 - It takes only 7days of flowering for the Critical Kush to grows many nice and strong secondaries stems , so nice that they makes me wanna clone her again despite of what I said earlier. The trunk is getting bigger every days and she takes a nice height. The leaves was 1st dark green but are starting to be a bit clear which is normal with her , she use to remain pretty green during the whole flowering and even in the late stage. She has been feed with a mix of Hybrids powder ( Greenhouse feeding ) and calcium , the PH was 6.4 and the Ec 1.38. I am tempted to use an agressive feeding schedule as she always responded well to any kind of feeding , the only difference between my past harvest were about the taste ( at different taste for each nutrient brand ) I almost forget to mention that she is just starting to push the 1st pistils ✌️🏼😄 😜

OutForReal F+20 The vertical growth aka the stretch is over , she is now focusing in the bud sites and producing more pistils every days. She is healthy , have nice colours and have solid stems so it should be a simple flowering to manage. This phenotype is particularly sensitive to high RH and excess water on the buds ( The rain could become a problem soon )

OutForReal Day 28 - Last day of the week , the plant is producing buds and trichomes and I feel like it's time for an higher Ec so we will work on that soon. She is swelling sweet but the true smell will come later on flowering. The dimensions of the plant are what we can expect from a 7L pot.

OutForReal Day 31 - 08.03 - Nothing to report , I mean really nothing , the weather is stabilised on the "hot mode" during daytime and High Relative Humidity during the night. The feeding is also stabilised around 1.6 and 1.7 Ec and my watering schedule is like : water / nutrients/ nutrients/ water ... but sometime I just switch the only water part to feed and she seems to handle it nicely. The buds are starting to take their typical shape , you will see that by the end od that run they all will be round and solid. They are already coated with trichomes and the smell is the typical one of that phenotype : hearty sweet and herbal.

OutForReal Day 37 - 14.03 - You can see that she suffered from the heat by the edges of the leaves that are pointing up ( I don't know If I said it right ) , the heat makes me water her almost every days to keep the soil moist as I'm only using a 7L pot for than run and the combo between the water evaporation and the plants needs makes the soil drying quick. The shape and smell are better than last week , the shape of the buds is almost how I want it to be. The feeding is now around 1.8Ec with the help of the Grenhouse Feeding PK Boost

OutForReal Day 47 - 24.03 - I am now flushing the lady until harvest. Like I told you before , this strain can be ready in 50 days from clone , however I will not reach that goal as I feel like 55 days will be better to get a descent yield. I regret that I did not reached a higher ec sooner in flowering , it would have provided a better bud swelling because the buds are really dense but not really big. Maybe it is due to tha fact that it is a clone from a clone , from a clone .... your can say it 6 times 🙄 Even if the buds aren't big in tem of volume they are looking heavy and numerous so fo a 7L pot grow of an old clone veged in 3L under 100w of light , I am happy

OutForReal Day 52 - The Critical Kush is ready to be chopped , her Crtitical lineage makes her a Quick flowering strain like almost every Critical related weed. The most lucky growers will be able to harvest after 49 days in flowering , but the average is around 55 days. Barneys did a great job with that strain , however some little details makes me think that it was a strain breed for indoor grows or for a dry environment ( indoor grow implied to manage humidity) because each time I grew it under my climates I have a bud or 2 that are starting to rotten due to the humidity , NO molds, just bud rot which allows me to prune the affected buds away and continue ti grow until the last day. The smell is good , the fact that I grew that strain during a whole year makes does not make it easier to describe because each time I grew it I used a different nutrients mix and each time the undertins of the stellar different 😜 🙊🙉🙈
