Indoor/Outdoor Critical Purple

So today was interesting to say the least. I have certainly learned a lot. I started noticing that my leaves were starting to look slightly droopy this afternoon. I didn’t like that and wanted to correct the issue before it got worse. Nothing changed too dramatically, humidity down to 65 instead of 75. And raised the plants 2” closer to light fixture. I think what was really the culprit though was that I was under watering them. I watered them yesterday continuing to use the spray bottle method (lightly) and today this happened. Anyways I contacted my local grow shop (Quick Grow) and they advised me to maintain the light gap I had before, increase humidity to 75 or 80%, and water them but this time in a 1” circle (which I had been doing) but not with the spray bottle. I measured out some ph 6.4 water (50/50 tap/distilled) and started direct pouring it as advised with a small medicine cup from like a children’s Tylenol bottle to ensure I didn’t over water it. I think the lesson for me here anyways it that spray bottles are really good for germination/popping the seed from the soil. However, once that plant is sprouted and looking for light and root development you need enough water at a time to penetrate the medium to the bottom of the pot. I would think this is especially important when growing small plants in a larger sized pot. Also in larger pots do not soak the entire medium at this stage. Anyways, low and behold about 3 hours later with these changes made drooping has resolved, leaves turned upwards, nice and lime green not as dark. And everything seems happy in there for now. Funny thing is that I was almost confident that I had given them too much water and that was why they were doing that. Anyways, I think it’s important not to over water; but don’t be afraid to give them a decent drink like that when you do water. In my case about 90ml per plant!

-Day #2 Pretty happy little babies this morning, looks like all of them have now turned upwards, including the one outside my enclosure. That one is really looking for the window for that extra light. Seems to change every couple hours and I have been rotating it making it work lol! Gave them a light misting around the plant itself as the top inch was starting to get dry. Didn’t water the whole pot this time to avoid them suffocating. Thanks for the tips people really appreciate it!! And anything else as always is greatly appreciated!! Also was wondering when I should think about adding some vents to my enclosure or if I should bother? I do lift the dome once per day right now so I would imagine that would help with oxygen. Humidity still seems pretty good!

Looks great dude! This strain really exploded for me during flower right around where you are. Huge stretching setting up for fat buds. I'm at about 74 days right now and I think I'll be harvesting before 80. I'm fascinated to see how these things will react to sunlight, can't wait! Going to follow!

100 cc of water, around half a glass each. I would have started them un party cups, easier to water.

hey, just fyi, I too ran into a pH issue with this strain, indoors though, about 3 weeks into flower. Had Many leaves show (P) and (k) deficiency, and determined it was due to pH. I finally gave up trying to adjust it, and since then the buds have really bulked up. I have a diary going for my outdoor of this strain, but put a couple pics from her indoor sister as a ref since there aren't a ton of diaries on this strain. Yours look Bueno...good job!

Beautifull choice on that Critical Purple Autoflowering.

Well, day 64 and I have no idea what happened but just today randomly the smell is outrageous. Really weird because they were not near as stinky yesterday.they smell amazing though omg 😍!! Buds are growing extremely quickly, so I would say straight flower nutes are definitely in order from here on out lol!

-Day #47- Moved the girls outside this morning.... and ima scared... lol 😐
