Critical Auto XXL - Philosopher Seeds

BajaMX_Growr86r 3/27/25 - (Day 4) Critical Auto seeds 1 and 2 are thriving. Their first set of leaves has emerged, and they're enjoying their first days of outdoor sunlight, starting with a gentle introduction yesterday afternoon. To keep them healthy and happy, I'm misting them with a spray bottle, giving them 50-80 ml of tap water infused with a touch of hydrogen peroxide. I pre-treat the water by letting it sit in sunlight for a couple of days.

BajaMX_Growr86r April 7, 2025 (Day 16) Seeds 1 and 2 are slightly behind due to the recent rainy days, but I'm confident they'll recover. Unfortunately, seeds 3 and 4 didn't survive. I've started feeding the remaining seeds with a mix of Silica (1.5ml/gal), Cal-Mag (2ml/gal), and Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow (10ml/gal). The rainy days have reduced the need for watering so far.

BajaMX_Growr86r Day 24 (4/15/25) - I'm observing some variation in growth between Seed 1 and Seed 2, with Seed 2 growing slightly more vigorously. However, both plants are developing unusual leaves and growth patterns, which I'm not sure how to attribute - it might be a characteristic of the strain or potentially an issue with my care. As a precaution, I've been using potassium soap and neem oil for pest control, although I suspect micron mites might not be the culprit given the healthy growth of the four nearby plants. My nutrient regimen includes Silica, Cal-Mag, and Pure Blend Pro Grow, and the plants received their first dunking today. I'm still undecided about implementing low-stress training, but I'll consider it if it seems to promote better growth.

BajaMX_Growr86r 4/21/25 - Update on Critical XXL Auto: Both seeds 1 and 2 are experiencing stunted growth, but I'll let them continue growing and provid optimal care to see how they develop. Might as well try LST next week and see what happens

BajaMX_Growr86r Day 40 - 05/01/2025 - Critical Auto XXL Update: Plants 1 and 2 are exhibiting signs of recovery from their initial growth anomalies, with new growth and leaf morphology appearing normalized. As we remain in the vegetative stage, my objective is to promote robust vegetative growth prior to the pre-flowering stage, allowing for optimal size and structure. To enhance canopy development and potentially increase yields, I implemented Low-Stress Training (LST) on both plants, despite initial reservations due to their stunted growth. Additionally, I utilized a thorough watering protocol this week, employing the dunking method to ensure uniform moisture distribution throughout the medium. The water used was plain tap water, oxygenated through 24-hour sun exposure, and supplemented with a small amount of hydrogen peroxide to maintain a healthy root environment.
