Okay soo this is my first proper set up grow. I Will be using 2 x 450W Viparspectra LED panels. Only one panel is being used now, but ill set up the second one during the second week! Im growing 3 Seedstockers BCN Critical XXL Autoflower. Ive heard good reviews about this fast growing strain. Hope i get good yields for them. They say it grows around 70-75 days from seed in good environments. Im using BioBizz Lightmix soil. I will be using Biobizz nutrients too but on small doses. The plants will be in 8 litre pots (6 litres filled). Ive got a 5” RVK with Rhino Pro filter, and a cheap 5” inline fan for the intake. Im just missing a fan controller for the perfect environment. Also got a 5 litre Humidifier, with a controllable stat. Dehumidifier is soon to arrive in the mail. Ive also added MYKOS Root Enchancher at the third day around the plant. Ive got given this by my local hydroponic store as a freebie. Apparently its a organic fungal root enchancher. Its better to be mixed with the soil around 1-2 teaspoons per pot.

Okay so out of 4 strains im most exciting about these £2 Seedstockers BCN Critical XXL strain, they have just been growing and growing. They have reached 14 days from germination and i can feel these are going to be big! I do have a feeling these are going to be an early harvest! The #1 Strain has spots and twisted leaves, does anyone know what could be the problem? I can see #2 is going to be massive too! Ive also added the 2nd 450W LED panel, 2nd carbon filter for air intake and dehumidifier! So these plants are ready for everything. Should i do LST training on these babys? And isit worth topping plants? One Love❤️🌲🌱🍃🌿🍁🌴

Basically im seeing some deficiencies on plant number #1. It can be calmag but not too sure! Ive also been using filtered reverse osmosis water, which ive heard can cause deficiencies. Im thinking i might have boron deficiencies on my plants by the way it looks. Can someone help

Hi man :) i see your problem, this would be calmag deficiency from my point of view.. you are giving them RO water that has no minerals or nutrients whatsoever inside it.. when you use tap water the tap water allready contains some nutrients like calcium and magnesium that why when using RO water + LED's like you are, its better to add more calmag then usual (not too much or you will have problems aswell) when we grow we learn the plants and their needs, next the PH of your water, try to go with 6.5 in soil if its possible for you, if you need anything let me know

Okay so the deficiencies are getting bigger on 3 of the plants in the tent. Which 2 of those are the BCN critical. Ive bought brand new biobizz nutrients just to be safe than sorry, also added Alg-i-Mac to the mix. I bought Calmag and some Great White myco but havent used yet. Around the 24th day im going to flush them with calmag as im used reverse osmosis water which lacks in every minerals found in normal water. Im also trying to find out if i can mix the Great White myco with the calmag, or use them single. Going to repot them on the start of 4th week. I hope the roots covered most of its surface down there!

Okay so ive hit 28 days from germination and these babys are looking great! Especially number #3!! Number #2 has started flowering but ill state that on next weeks diary. The other two is litteraly a day or two away from blooming! Ive repotted 3 of these from 8l fabrics to bigger 12l fabric pots. Ive probably damaged some roots whiles doing it but theyre going strong! Im going to keep the feeding the same until next week when all of them are on bloom.

Okay soo the BCN xxls are so far my favourite in the tent. They are just growing soo quick and lovely. Number #3 and #1 has doubled its size within the week. And #2 has just stayed the sAme height but it was the first to pre flower. They have a nice skunky greeny smell to it. These plants have not been low stress strained or topped, and it does a great job growing naturally. Bloom fertilers are now applied until 1-2 weeks before harvest! One love!

These plants are growing mad for what they are! They hit 43 days old from seed. Im still feeding once a week and watering with tap water every two days. Im having abit of heat issues but they should be alright. As long as theres air flow going around.

Day 50 from seed and these BCN criticals have a lovely citrus smell. When i open the tent, its the first thing i smell. Theyre all healthy and running. Lights are still on 20/4. Bit of redish/amber hairs showing up. When i loom at other pictures its just the genes of the genetic. I Cant wait to harvest this! Ive started adding more biobizz as it states on the chart. And then i water with normal tap water every 2 days! I will post an update for week 8 next week! One love!

To be honest overall this strain done good so as the others. Reflecting back on how i started with just a tent and light, and slowly buying the fans and filters whiles the plants were growing. But i did want these plants to grow naturally without topping and Low Stress Training. I regret not removing the lower branches becuase i did get alot of small airy buds down there. But it was all trial and error. All i done was remove some fan leaves when good to do so every now and then. Not on a mad level tho, i did have alot of sugar leaves which i will be making some stuff with! At veg the plants had deficiencies due to out of date Biobizz bottles. But that got sorted with the magic of Algimac and Calmag. Overall Next time I will definitely train the plants and maybe top a few. Final Yield: Plant #1 21.88 Grams Plant #2 33.36 Grams Plant #3 56.06 Grams Which yield exactly 110 grams! Ounces come out very fat with these light buds Not bad for the conditions they were brought up in, and with no training! Thanks for everyone who has followed this diary throught out the journey! I hope this diary will help people out. And thank you to Seedstockers for very cheap and quality seeds. And special thanks for the GrowDiaries Team for providing the best platform for growing journals! I couldnt explain how much this Diary helped me. Its like a dream come true finding a site like this! And if you do see this message, i would love to see a Iphone app coming soon! Kind Regards! One love!
