About this grow: I'm kinda 80% satisfied with the result of this grow. My plant had went through bad condition which is some time over 35 degree celcius and 75 RH and still come out look great and get big bud. I've got total of 195gram which is close to 1 gram/ watt since i have my 240W QB and dimmed it 80% during bloom cause i scared it will burn the top of the flower. I think i got to improve the better environment to get better outcome. About the effect of thรญ Strain (Critical): I'm an Sativa lover and alway strike for Sativa strain. However this strain is pleasant for me The effect slowly turn on: first impression is that you might feel like your body being massage and muscle super relax (Body-Buzz) suitable for after work or hard training section It's also have couch lock effect if you seat on chair or lay on bed however i still can overcome it by taking conversation with friends This strain also make me happy and feel positive About nutes: With this run i've use mix nutrient from many brand and notice that i like the Voodoo, B52 & Snow Storm from Humboldt a lot. I have run max of 1600 ppm on this grow since the plant is kinda big but i realize that around 1200-1400 is fairly enough for a fem cannabis plant IMO. Next run i try to switch to NFTG line which is kinda 95% organic. And again thanks for the community which make my skills better each day.

If the plant doesnโ€™t need it, adding a supplement can sometimes do nothing, or even worse it could hurt your plant. For example, if you add a PK booster when youโ€™re already giving full strength base flowering nutrients, you could burn or even kill your plants! Pk Boosters and Shooting Powderd โ€“ With this type of supplement, the main ingredients are just Phosphorus and Potassium because they are important for flowering. These also sometimes contain some amount of sulfur. In general, use these sparingly as theyโ€™re usually very potent! And donโ€™t forget that every quality base Bloom nutrient should already contain plenty of P and K. Giving relatively low levels of Nitrogen during the flowering stage helps buds fatten up.

Usually at 50d of bloom i will witness bud hardening but in my case it still not ripen and still have so many pistils on it. Might high humidity (65-70) the issue in this case. The fan leave are starting to yellow a little bit

The slow growth and ripening is defenitly because of the High Humidity and way too high day and night temperatures. In nature days are fresher towards the end of flowering and so should an indoor grow be too. U did defolation and that's a good thing because with this humidity bud rot is on the corner. Make the air flow very well and try to get it down to about 50% humidity. Let the girls dry out for a few days. The brown spots I cannot say what it is. Ph on point so the nutrients intake shouldn't be a problem. Dry them out and do a flush and try to correct the humidity and temperature. Plant still looks very good and maybe u should let her grow some longer to fully outgrow those nice buds. Still many white pistils so far from done in my opinion. Hope u get some answers from other growers too since I'm far from being an expert. Keep growing ๐Ÿ˜‰

I always thought that critical was a short, compact and bushy plant ๐Ÿ˜ Wrong guess haha. grew her once years ago and she was not too big but delivered nice thick buds. Looking forward how yours will be.

MisterSixcommented5 years ago
@Clutch, yeah i have a small dehumidifier but it's kinda decrease 5% of humidity i planning on purchase a bigger one. But i have bloom at 65-75 RH for 2 time and still have good quality ๐Ÿ˜ thanks for the advice i will try to imptove.

@MisterSix, is there a way to get ur humidity down in the grow tent? 65% is too much by now. Should be around 50/55.
MisterSix
MisterSixcommented5 years ago
@Clutch, yeah actually she's around 1 meter but i let her grow to her full potential and this is my biggest plant by far. Hopefully i will get thick bud at this condition of 30 celcius and 65 RH. I'm curios on the total weight too ๐Ÿ˜

Critical from RQS is a great Strain. easy to grow and a very good yielder.She may stop soon stretching and build nice Buds now is the right Time for some P+K boost
MisterSix
MisterSixcommented5 years ago
@Mrs_Larimar, yeah feed by the feeling work great too
Mrs_Larimar
Mrs_Larimarcommented5 years ago
@MisterSix,sounds great. To be honest i never measure the ppm......iam more that kinda " belly-Grower" i dont know if that word exists in english. Iam looking at the plant and at the feeding chart and decide what they get and how much .
MisterSix
MisterSixcommented5 years ago
@Mrs_Larimar, sure i've purchase the kool bloom from GH + with overdrive for the last couple week of bloom right now i'm feeding 1500 ppm AN line it is ok ?

you can always give your girl benefical stuff like silica and molasses. Silica and calcium help her to get a strong girl, shes already huge, and she will pack up more plantmaterial, silica strenghten her connective tissue
Mrs_Larimar
Mrs_Larimarcommented5 years ago
@MisterSix,thats great!!! silica is for all livig beeings, its for the connective tissue..

@Mrs_Larimar, hi what is the benefit of silica i have rhino skin from AN and have not use it yet it contain silica inside ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
Mrs_Larimar
Mrs_Larimarcommentedweek 145 years ago
OMG... sheees big. looking great. And i agree Silica is good stuff for the cellular tissue of the PLant
MisterSix
MisterSixcommented5 years ago
@Mrs_Larimar, yeah it make the stem stronger, when she flipped in the 2nd week her branches is fall to one side because of the fast stretch. And rhino skin help it
Mrs_Larimar
Mrs_Larimarcommentedweek 105 years ago
She looks nice, dont miss it to give her in the trasition to flower and until the stretch takes grow nutrition, you can reduce it with the coming weeks and stop around week 3 or 4, or just follow the nutrition schedule. atm they got enough p and k

@Mrs_Larimar, yay it look pretty nice right now. I just want to put more PK in the mid to late stage of flowering. This is the only time i can get my tent to around 30 celcius i want to see the full potential product of this plant ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

@DankGardener, thanks for the recommendation my plan is to use the booster from week 4 of flower add with reduced nutes to make sure it is not burn. If it ok or i give it the full strength and add pk booster. I will feel the plant and feed it by the feeling๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Hey man best of luck with your 2nd grow. You picked a very โ€œuser friendlyโ€ strain to grow that should provide you with great results in your environment. Iโ€™m currently growing the same strain for the 1st time, and honestly it has been one of the easy strains that I have ever grown. The strain responds very well to topping, super-cropping, bending and flowers on the faster side. I grow via Recirculating Deep Water Culture hydroponics, and have some pretty good experience under my belt. Feel free to ask any questions that you might have. If you want to see what Critical looks like from seedling through the first 2 weeks of flower in my hydro setup Iโ€™ve included a link below: https://youtu.be/pXUPv8E3IZg Best of luck!!!
