Critical Kush & Mimosa Evo by Barney's

Highsenberg82 Critical Kush on the left, Mimosa Evo on the right. Initiating flowering by switching to 12 hours of light and the first nutrient solution following the Advanced Nutrients master recipe for flowering week 1.

Highsenberg82 Flowering begins. First defoliation.

Highsenberg82 Defoliated for the second time, this time more noticeably. Adjustment of the nutrient schedule (Week 3 Master recipe) EC value of the nutrient solution at 1.8 to 1.9 mS/cm

Highsenberg82 After the second defoliation, beautiful flower formation. And the frost is also increasing significantly, especially with the Mimosa Evo. The biggest bud from the Mimosa at the back is my favorite of all.

Highsenberg82 Plants continue to look healthy. Slight signs of over-fertilization on the leaf tips. Soil was flushed once until the EC value of the drainage was back in the green range. Switched from Big Bud to Hammerhead for a higher PK dose during the week.

Highsenberg82 Things are still going well. The smell in the tent is getting much stronger and is already very intense. CK smells very sweet, almost like bubble gum, and Mimosa Evo is very dull and earthy/woody with a citrus note.

Highsenberg82 9/2/2025: Had some issues due to over-fertilization (Drain EC at 2.8 to 3.0 mS/cm). Flushed with rainwater until the drain EC was around 0.7 mS/cm, then watered with a nutrient solution at 1.6 mS/cm. Now let's see how it goes in week 7. For the next watering, switching from Hammerhead to Overdrive. Trichomes are still mostly clear. The Critical Kush looks a bit more mature. Everything else is looking good. 9/5/2025: Nutrient solution at EC 1.7. Drain EC 1.9. Everything is back on track. 9/6/2025: Buds are visibly getting fatter, especially the Kush is adding some serious mass. Having a bit of trouble with humidity, but there's plenty of airflow.

Highsenberg82 Slowly but surely, we're approaching the end. Critical Kush isn't as ripe as expected yet. However, around the middle of the flowering week, we'll start flushing the Critical Kush, and about 3 to 4 days later, the Mimosa Evo (depending on how the trichomes develop). Flushing will be done 3 to 4 times with about 30 liters per pot and Flawless Finish. The buds are still visibly getting thicker. The trichomes on the buds are still mostly clear, but more milky ones are gradually appearing. 9/13/2025 First time flushing with 30L of water and 2ml/l Flawless Finish for the Critical Kush. Mimosa Evo still received a nutrient solution with EC 1.3 mS/cm, and flushing will also start there in 3 to 4 days. 9/14/2025 Based on the pictures, you can see that the Kush is almost ripe, and now is the right time to start flushing. The Mimosa still has many glassy trichomes; I think about 2 weeks should be right.

Highsenberg82 9/16/2025 Beginning of week 9 (and hopefully the last). Critical Kush was flushed for the second time today with 30l, the Mimosa for the first time. CK is not as ripe as expected. The ratio of milky to glassy is relatively similar for both. There are hardly any amber trichomes, except on the leaves. 9/18/2025 The Critical Kush should be ripe soon. I think it can be dried this weekend. The Mimosa Evo still needs a bit more time. You can see that well in the last pictures.

Highsenberg82 20/9/2025 Critical Kush has been hung up to dry. Let's wait and see what the total yield will be. It definitely smells very strong, almost like pepper, and even the smallest buds have a very decent size and density.

Highsenberg82 9/23/2025 Flowering Day 64: The Mimosa is still not ripe and will stay a bit longer and continue to be flushed. 65-70 days are indicated by Barney's. Let's see if it's ready by 70. 9/28/2025 Still many clear trichomes. 70 days of flowering probably won't be enough here, so it's going to have to be extended, like it or not. Mimosa evo doesn't smell as strong as Critical Kush. Since the CK has been out of the tent, it smells significantly less. However, the citrus scents of the Mimosa are coming through more and more.

Highsenberg82 Trichomes are now mostly milky, and several amber ones are also present. The Mimosa is now hanging in the tent to dry. Temperature and RH are still in the green zone.
