Germinated 2 x BCN Critical XXL Autoflower seeds from seedstocker they germinated fine and once tap root was showing I planted them in 5 gallon fabric pots using Biobizz light mix medium, I gave them a few drops of water and will monitor their progress

Seedlings popped through the soil, still just giving few drops of water when needed, checking on them daily, possibly checking on them too much lol. Temperatures a bit cold so have placed a heater in grow room to bring temperatures up

Don't seem to be growing too well, think I might have been over watering or light not strong enough, they keep flopping so I put a stick in to support them

Upgraded lights to Mars hydro TS 600w plants have grown much more since last week, however still small for their age, I think I made too many mistakes original lights weren't strong enough or close enough, still will let them run their course and see what happens, I have ordered more seeds and I'm going to start again from scratch. I added some fish blood and bone meal slow release top feed to plants also as well as usual feeding plan

Decided to throw away the White Cyrstal Meth and 1 of the BCN Critical XXL and only keep the 2 strongest plants 1 BCN critical xxl and the Cookie kush since they had got off to a bad start with lighting problems, and these being the only 2 that seemed to have taken a turn in the right direction. There is now a massive difference now in these 2 girls stems thickening up substantially and almost doubled in size. I think it is safe to say I have brought these 2 back from the brink of death lol. I started off a new batch with new seeds which I will cover in separate diaries. But back to the BCN Critical and cookie kush, I am very pleased with these 2 now the BCN has really started to take off and bushed right out in the space of a week it looks like it may now be starting to go into flower soon so hopefully things keep going well on this grow

On to day 57 now for the BCN Critical XXL auto and day 58 for the Cookie Kush, The BCN auto started showing her first white pistils, I measured her and she was standing at 11 inches. Over the next few days she seemed to go into a massive growth spurt, now measuring at 15 inches. I am really pleased with her now after getting off to a slow start she is now looking very healthy and things seem to be on track. She is definitely in full on flower mode now as can be seen in pictures above. Will continue to monitor her and keep her as healthy as possible over the flowering period. Buds have appeared so will wait patiently for her to do her thing. Cookie Kush is really coming on strong will still keep her in veg until the auto has finished so I can then change the lights down to the 12/12 to start her into flower

What can I say apart from Wow Im impressed. BCN has grown about 7 inches taller her buds are starting to form properly now on day 67. So glad I kept her. Cookie Kush since she is also getting rather big and very leafy and bushy I decided to clear out a cupboard upstairs and put her into flower. I take her out of the grow room from the autos and place her in 12 hours darkness temps are good and she seems to be loving life. Really starting to look forward to getting some real buds now

Well another week and another substantial growth from the BCN Critical XXL auto, now standing at 26 inches 10 inches in a week. I think its fair to say now the growth has slowed down and she's formed some lovely buds, if all continues to go as well as it has I think she will harvest a fantastic yield. Still giving some nutrients and is very thirsty with her water intake. Really looking forward to the next week to see how she progresses

Well she grew another 10 inches from last week, still feeding water for the flush which she is guzzling daily, hope she doesn't grow much taller as shes same height as the lamp trying to keep her from being directly underneath in case it burns the buds. lol. Some of the pistils are starting to turn amber at the tips, not sure how much longer she will take to harvest but continuing to inspect her daily and wait and see, she has a substantial amount of buds all over not massive but looking good. Really pleased with my first grow with this one and to think I nearly threw her in the bin at one point thinking she wasn't growing.

Pistils starting to curl inwards and some have started to turn amber, the trichomes are mainly clear some starting to turn cloudy/milky colour will keep an eye on the trichomes over the next week, still feeding water only on her flush

Pistils starting to change colour to amber same with the trichomes mainly milky in colour, I defoliated some of the bottom leaves and also took off a couple of the bottom buds to help the main cola and buds to fatten up a bit more, not long now till harvest checking daily on the trichomes and will chop once I see 60 - 70% amber

Wasn't to bad for my first time on growing this strain after overcoming the problems early on she managed to grow into a beast standing at 3 ft 4" tall. A decent yield and an overall nice little smoke too. Smell was very strong during the drying process. Dried upside down for 10 days in dark room, before trimming the buds and filling 2 x glass mason jars for the curing phase. I'm very pleased overall with this strain I would grow this strain again. I have tested the end result in various ways, 1) With the use of a pipe, 2) Rolled in a joint by itself, 3) Using the dry herb vaporiser. Each time it has been a nice smoke, with nice relaxing head/body high setting your mind into overdrive on your next creative project. but too comfortable and relaxed to get up and move lol
