My phone was damaged for the week of veg and 4 weeks of flower, its repaired now and im able to update this diary weekly. Unfortunatley i do not have any photos of veg or propagation.
Week 2 of flower was very good, defoliation was required. The critical kush seems very stable and resistant, super vigorous and pre flowers are coming out nicely.
I have been using cyco nutrients which are great so far, one thing i will say is make sure that Dr. Repair is used as the base nutrient does not contain iron and dr.repair does.
Started this diary a bit late, i vegged 9 critical kush for 2 weeks with cyco veg and rhyzofuel using one 315w cdm lamp. I topped the plants twice and defoliated the bottom section of the plants. I will keep this diary updated until harvest and i will issue the results when buds are dry!
Start of week 5 today day 29 of flower! Critical kush is vigorous, i am going to change the twin cdm lamps to an air cooled hps 1000w running on the super lumen setting today! Some extra red light is needed to fatten theese girls up!
starting week 6. bloom booster to buddhas tree pk 9/18. I also changed the beneficial bacteria used from plant success great white to ecothrive biosys. I have turned the dehumidifier up a notch to keep humididity around 40%. I have also noticed some waterlogging in the bottom of the pots, so for this reason I have changed the flood schedule to once every other day. I may pull a few fan leaves this week.
I have now decided to take the lec lights out as i think they will fatten up more with more red light from a hps 1000w watt running on super lumen settings.
Struggled a bit with heat, had to put a fan over canopy. The hps has made a noticable difference in hardening up the buds. I rhink another 10 days to 14 days left.
Update day 49: as recommended by @B4RNS I have reduced the last week of feeding to e.c 1 prior to a week of flushing! New video added with lots of heads!
Nutrient feed at half strength this week. I have tied as many colas up with string for support. Filtered tap water only now. Found mites on one plant at the back. Predatory mites on the Ready, they work for me!
Plants looking great. Final week, flushing with filtered water for 7- 10 days. Plants ripening nicely, very dense colas. I noticed a spider mite outbreak last week, it has spread from one plant to the a few others, not a bad infestation, today predator mites will be released onto every plant throughout flush. Predator mites have worked great in the past.
**predator mites phytoselius have been applied, hopefully they can clear up the infestation before harvest. When the plants are cut down and hung to drt any remaining mites will crawl up the stem as the plant dries. I will wrap the stem in double sided sticky tape.
Ive decided against the hps and added another 315w LEC, so there is now 3 315 LEC in total. 2x 3100k and 1x 4200k. The temps are lower using LEC than using a hps even with an air cooled reflector.
