floristician Started the germination process on Feb 27th using chamomile tea. The seedling emerged on March 7th. It was a tough start as I kept the temps too low in the beginning. Lesson learned: Never let it get too cold! I need at least 21°C during the night to keep the growth steady. She’s a bit slow, but alive.

floristician Nutrient Lockout & Water Chemistry Lessons 📉 During the mid-to-late veg and early flower phase, I ran into some noticeable nutrient issues. After some troubleshooting, I identified two main culprits: 1. Improper pH Levels: My pH management was off, likely due to mixing multiple nutrient brands which caused unpredictable swings. This led to a lockout where the plant couldn't access what was already in the soil. 2. Water Chemistry (Ca:Mg Ratio): My tap water has a naturally high Calcium to Magnesium ratio. Without proper adjustment, this imbalance caused a classic Magnesium deficiency, even though Calcium was abundant. The Lesson: In the future, I will stick to one nutrient line and use a dedicated CalMag supplement to balance my tap water's specific profile from the start. Despite these hiccups, the Critical Kush genetics were resilient enough to finish strong!"

English: Final Review - Critical Kush (RQS) Foreword Please excuse the late update. I didn't keep a perfect log during the grow, so I am entering all the data now, a few months after the harvest. Problems & Learnings This second indoor run was a massive learning experience: • Germination: It was way too cold at the start. Learning: I will always use a heat mat from now on. • Nutrients: I made the mistake of mixing different nutrient brands. I also realized I'm not a fan of top-dressing, especially since I use a mulch layer to keep the soil moist. • Water Issues: I experienced a nutrient lockout due to my tap water's Ca/Mg ratio. It has very high Calcium and is nowhere near the 3:1 ratio. Learning: I will use Epsom salts (bitter salt) in the future to balance the water. • Timing: The harvest coincided with my summer vacation. This was a major planning error that I will avoid in the future. • AI vs. Intuition: I relied too much on ChatGPT instead of listening to my intuition. Experience comes from watching the plant, not just the screen. Smoke Report I grow for medical purposes, so the effect is my priority; flavor is secondary. • Flavor: Herbal, woody, with notes of pine. • Effect: Excellent for muscle relaxation and pain relief. It is a heavy "couch-lock" strain. Be prepared for serious munchies! Harvest & Yield I didn’t record the final dry weight, but the yield was satisfying despite the issues. The potency was officially tested at Cannafair 2025: • Early Harvest (Pre-vacation): 26% THC. • Late Harvest (Post-vacation): 23% THC. Deutsch: Abschlussbericht Critical Kush (RQS) Vorwort Zuerst möchte ich um Verständnis bitten, dass dieser Report erst mit einigen Monaten Verzögerung vervollständigt wird. Ich habe die Dokumentation während des Grows nicht sauber geführt und pflege die Daten nun nachträglich ein. Probleme & Learnings Mein zweiter Indoor-Run war eine steile Lernkurve mit einigen Hindernissen: • Keimung: Zu Beginn war es viel zu kalt, was die Keimung verzögert hat. Learning: In Zukunft werde ich immer eine Heizmatte verwenden. • Düngung: Ich habe den Fehler gemacht, Dünger verschiedener Hersteller zu mischen. Zudem habe ich gemerkt, dass ich kein Fan von Top Dressing bin – besonders, weil ich eine Mulchschicht nutze, um das Austrocknen der Erde zu verhindern. • Wasserchemie: Ich hatte mit einem Nährstoff-Lockout zu kämpfen. Mein Leitungswasser hat kein optimales Calcium-Magnesium-Verhältnis (weit entfernt von 3:1) und einen zu hohen Calcium-Anteil. Learning: Künftig arbeite ich mit Bittersalz im Gießwasser, um das Verhältnis auszugleichen. • Urlaubsplanung: Die Ernte fiel genau in meinen Sommerurlaub. Das war organisatorisch extrem schwierig und wird nächstes Mal besser getimt. • KI vs. Intuition: Ich habe mich zu sehr auf ChatGPT verlassen, anstatt auf meine eigene Intuition und Erfahrung zu vertrauen. Man lernt am meisten, wenn man die Pflanze selbst liest. Rauch-Report (Smoke Report) Da ich die Sorte aus medizinischen Gründen anbaue, steht die Wirkung für mich an erster Stelle; der Geschmack ist zweitrangig. • Geschmack: Kräuterartig, in Richtung Nadelholz und Pinie. • Wirkung: Perfekt für meine Bedürfnisse. Die Critical Kush wirkt stark körperlich entspannend, hilft hervorragend gegen Schmerzen und ist definitiv eine „Couch-Lock“-Sorte. Warnung: Der Fresskick ist garantiert! Ernte & Ertrag Obwohl ich das genaue Gesamtgewicht nicht mehr notiert habe, bin ich mit dem Ertrag sehr zufrieden. Besonders stolz bin ich auf die Potenz, die auf der Cannafair 2025 offiziell getestet wurde: • Teilernte 1 (vor dem Urlaub): 26 % THC. • Teilernte 2 (nach dem Urlaub): 23 % THC.
