Critical Impact | Outdoor 2026

GanjaHulk The Critical Impact sprouted above the substrate on June 3, 2026. A hole was made in the center and filled with seed and cutting soil to prevent the young roots from burning on the Batmix

GanjaHulk Dear growers, We've reached week 2 and she's getting a bit of water with Power Roots every now and then. Unfortunately, the weather hasn't been on our side, so she’s still staying under the lean-to where it's a bit warmer but especially dry. We've had severe rain showers and very cold days for two weeks now, but luckily we’re expecting warm weather in a few days so she can finally enjoy soaking up the full sun outside!

GanjaHulk Dear growers, We are in week 3 and luckily the weather is a bit better. Starting tomorrow it will get very hot, heading towards 32 degrees and plenty of sunshine. She just got some water with a little bit of Power Roots. The leaves have been sprayed with water and a tiny bit of Vita Race.

GanjaHulk Dear growers, The Critical Impact is now 21 days old and is fully enjoying the sun. Temperatures are shooting up towards 38 degrees here! She gets watered every 3 days with some Power Roots and Alga Grow. In the evening, she also gets sprayed with some Vita Race on the leaves every now and then.

GanjaHulk Dear growers, The Critical Impact is now 28 days old and really thriving. Nine-fingered leaves, green and healthy. Hopefully, she’ll grow to be huge.

GanjaHulk Dear growers, Day 35 has arrived and she’s doing great. The new leaves show 11 fingers, which I believe means she is very happy and comfortable. I'm really curious to see how tall she’s ultimately going to get.

GanjaHulk Dear growers, Day 42 has arrived, and I must say she feels like she’s growing pretty fast. She is now 80 cm tall, which averages out to a growth of 1.9 cm per day. As you can see, I’ve placed 4 bamboo stakes around the plant and wrapped garden wire around them. This might come in handy later if the side branches start getting too heavy. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the garden wire tight enough around the bamboo stakes, causing them to slide down. I used simple clothespins to fix this, so now they can't go anywhere

GanjaHulk Dear growers, We are on day 49 and she is still doing great. She has now reached a height of 92cm. Unfortunately, it's a bit cooler this week with less sun than in previous weeks. Quite cloudy with crisp nights ahead.

GanjaHulk Dear growers, We are now at day 56 with a height of 106cm. It is also starting to get nicely fuller and good weather is in sight again. Today it will be around 30 degrees

GanjaHulk Dear growers, Time flies fast. Day 63 already, with a height of 123 cm. Of course, no signs of flowering yet because the days here in the Netherlands are not short enough yet to trigger flowering. I expect this to change within 2 to 3 weeks. She is still getting Alga Grow, Power Roots, and Vita Race. The brown spots on the leaves are caused by dried-up Vita Race.

GanjaHulk Dear growers, We reached day 70. I think she is looking great, though I do notice her water consumption is going incredibly fast. The combination of fabric pots and very hot days causes heavy evaporation, and she really likes a good drink. Her height is now 135 cm and she has the shape of a Christmas tree haha. I have to say that there are no visible pistils yet. I hope I will be successful with the harvest since she is supposed to be ready by mid-October on paper. What a wonderful hobby we have folks. A special plant with very nice traits. Please let me know if you have any tips or things that I can do better. Keep growing and smoking friends!

GanjaHulk Dear growers, Day 77 has arrived and I must say the fun with the weather is over. Lots of rain and colder/cloudy days. She is placed now under a veranda with temperatures around 21 degrees (during the day). So far no signs of flowering yet, so I am afraid it is going to be a late one. Length is now 154 cm and she is still getting the necessary nutrients.

GanjaHulk Dear growers, Another week has passed and we are now at day 84. She is finally showing signs of flowering (pistils here and there). The hours of daylight are decreasing, and it is starting to get a lot colder here in the Netherlands as well. She is now about 1.62 meters tall and still wonderfully green. I expect she will stretch a bit more. I would have loved to know how big she would get if planted directly in the ground, haha.

GanjaHulk Dear growers, Day 91 is officially over, and I must say she is already starting to smell quite a bit. She is still placed under the veranda due to a lot of rainy and cold days lately. It looks like her height might become an issue if she keeps growing like this, especially with the veranda ceiling, haha! She is currently 1.75 meters tall. Regarding nutrients, I am phasing out Alga Grow, Power Roots, and Vita Race. In the meantime, she is now getting Alga Bloom. Green Sensation will be something for later.

GanjaHulk Dear growers, we are on day 98 with a height of 180 cm. She is still beautifully green and the leaves are pointing up as if she is worshipping the light. I think it has more to do with the fact that she is under the veranda and looking for more light haha. Unfortunately, the days in the Netherlands are very chilly and rainy, which is why I prefer to keep her under the veranda. With every watering, she gets Alga Bloom with just a little bit of Power Roots.

GanjaHulk Dear growers, Day 105 is also done and she hasn't grown much more in terms of height. Flower development continues at a slow pace, partly because the weather in the Netherlands is not cooperating. She is still standing dry under the veranda and receives Alga Bloom and Green Sensation with every watering.

GanjaHulk Dear growers, unfortunately, I have to inform you that my grow journey has come to an end. A country like the Netherlands, which used to be highly progressive, is no longer what it once was. We have been overtaken by many countries when it comes to cultivating weed. Things are still incredibly rigid here when it comes to growing and smoking cannabis. We are stuck with an endless tolerance policy that has never actually changed, remains extremely vague and dubious, and hit home growers incredibly hard. If you grow just a single plant indoors as a hobbyist, you are legally classified as a professional. As a result, your home will be locked down for three months. Do you live in a rental property? Then you will be evicted and blacklisted for the next 5 to 10 years. Good luck finding a home after that. On the other hand, if you grow up to five plants outdoors without any professional equipment, they don’t see it as professional cultivation. This falls under the tolerance policy until a snitch in the neighborhood reports it. A police officer will then drop by, ask you to surrender the plants, and that’s it. You only get a registration under your name. When it comes to our hobby, this is literally the worst country out there. A hobby grower who pours love into their plant for personal use is labeled a criminal. It is absolute therapy. It's about disconnecting from the outside world, getting your hands busy, and enjoying your own weed—knowing 100% that there is no bad stuff in it, just your own love and energy. Yet, the question remains: how are coffeeshops in the Netherlands being supplied if nobody is allowed to grow? Does it just magically fall from the sky straight into a storage jar, so they can sell it and pay taxes on it to the state? The government is happily profiting from something they officially oppose on paper. Welcome to the Netherlands. Unfortunately, a situation arose in my life that forced me to destroy the plant myself and part ways with it, which truly broke my heart. The plant was almost ready, it looked amazing, and all in all, it had become a daily source of my inner peace. I want to apologize to everyone reading this for not being able to finish this run.

GanjaHulk Dear growers, I didn't have time to give an update last week, my apologies. We are currently on day 119 and her buds are developing slowly. We had good weather last week and this week is looking good too. I don't dare to say how much longer she needs, could someone give an estimate based on the photos? It feels like progress is very slow, but that might just be me.
