Well, my little babies have begun to flower at only 10 inches height in their eighth week. Our nights in NoCal have been very cool this summer (in the fifties) and I wonder if that has slowed their growth? The days are also cooler than normal in the low eighties, too. When I last grew Critical Purple in 2018, the plants were two feet tall at this point. I've switched from Kelp Extract to Fox Farm Big Bloom, which will be the food of choice for the next five or six weeks, until flushing and harvest.
Looking good! I believe the minimum recommended temperature is 16-17 degrees Celsius. My plants hang around 17 every night with no issues.
Keep up the good work !
@@CloneKingz, I guess we (usually) cool down below 17 Celsius, but I haven't noticed any bad effects either. Right now, we're having hot daytime temps (above 90), so I guess I should begin thinking about the maximum high temperature these plants can take. I imagine that--with regular watering--they can stand some pretty warm temps.
@@decam, You're right...I've got about six weeks to go until harvest. The plants are short but a beautiful shade of green and covered with trichomes. Keep watching this diary! misterb
I've been doing a lot of reading, and from what I can tell, LST is the way to go for Autos. Just bend down the main stem so it's level with the rest, and keep bending down anything that get's taller than the others. It's a hassle, but apparently it will be worth it. If you look at my First Horrible Grow diary, the last picture I posted shows the result of doing neither with Critical Purp.
I may just try a different method for each of my four plants, stumay--especially since you had good luck and a better yield with LST. I topped one plant yesterday, so am hoping it will take that well! I'm heading over to check out your grow now. Joe
Nice grow, I popped a seed into a water bottle cut in half that I just let sit outside to see what happens. I’m looking forward to seeing how you outdoor grow goes
Good work! Congrats!
My CP from Grower’s Choice looks like a completely different phenotype. My CP plant has the skinniest leaves, top to bottom, and it has a very sativa-like structure and bud development. And the buds are very purple. I love growing from seed for that reason. You never know what you’re gonna get 🙃
Great job! Enjoy 😊
