Hello everyone we're back for week 3 veg with Barney's farm critical kush and just like last week I'm still very impressed with this plant I love it's structure it's very broad and symmetrical it will be fun training it! This week critical kush has max output on my veg light a growth rate is steadily raising. The plant needs for nothing and is healthy as can be. These Genetics have been great so far. I gave it a second worm tea meal and lowered the light it's averaging 28,000 lux and loving it. I've given the clover a haircut around the girl they were trying to shoot past her. I leave the clippings around the base of the plant to be recycled and broken down by microbes into fertilizers for her. I'm looking forward to next week but until then if you like Barney's farm genetics critical kush specifically or if your into organic growing hit that like and follow button and watch her grow with me!

@getsomeUbik, thanks man I appreciate believe it or not organics are actually easier than most other methods and they lend themselves well to new growers because they are more forgiving and easier to maintain. The microbiology may be complex but the microbes are doing the work for you mostly. I will report back weekly so be sure to come check it out. Thanks again for the follow and let me know if you have any specific questions.

Hey there, cover crop are usually grown before you put the seedling in, the reason for that is because clover andother legumes cover crop will absorb the Nitrogen from the air and fixate it in the roots. The problem is that before doing this they check how much Nitrogen is in the soil and if there is a lot they will use it first and then they will fix the N from the air in their roots. You have to wait for the clover to flower before mulching it on the soil, that is when the Nitrogen content in the roots will be the most. In your diary the clover just takes some water & some nuts from your girl. The idea behind cover crops is really good but you need more information about how legumes fix the N. Happy growing from France. ✊

@kingmcdaid, no worries I might be a bit tensed :p I am actually reusing the soil of my autos that I harvested and I know the feeling behind reusing your soil trust me it's awesome, it's the first time I do it so I don't know if I did it well but I did put all my potting soil left with bamboo leaves (I have read they contain a lot of IMO) and mowed lawn, I also put compost and things like coffee ground and other things! Have you ever heard about Korean Natural Farming? I wonder if it is as "good" as living soil even if I know it's really really different ways of growing organic. Yes unfortunately that's why in idk 50/100 years, farmers that owns huge lands will have killed them all and they will have to grow hydroponic vertical farms everywhere. It is sad, and I think things are kind of the same in the USA or even worse because things are even bigger than in here. I saw that some people were already developing drone that would pollinate their crops due to the fact that a lot of the population of the pollinating insect have died. I agree with you 100% I want to do my own super soil but damn it's hard when you make the quick math like I can't do my super soil for huge girls outdoor it would take wayy too many money and too many time and I really have a problem like for instance about guerilla growing I don't want to get off the native soil and put my mix in it, the native soil is soooo fucking rich in MO, fungi and bacteria that works well with the local area, and except doing like a raided lasagna bed like 2/3 month before I really don't know how I could do super soil AND keep the native soil which I think is super important. Oh I see we don't have the same experience at all ! I am just a noob, but I try to grow as organic as possible, putting flowers and building shelters for auxiliary insects and feeding my soil as much as possible with surface composting, using hemp mulch and not tilling ! Thank you for your time I'll follow your little girls around :) Have a nice day mate !

Awesome looking grow, I found the same thing when using the clover, a place for gnats to hide, great looking training, - have a great week!

@MrJones, thanks man I appreciate it. Yeah the clover was awesome for the early stages but it loses benefits as the plant gets bigger

Very interesting grow! Was thinking about living soil myself but, since I'm a new starter, a bit overwhelmed by the topic. Top shelf information in the comments discussion! Looking forward to watch and learn so keep it coming 😜 Big Up from Germany

Hey there, Very nice grow diary, complete and precise ! May I ask what is the reference for the 2000 W you are using here ? Peace. Steph

@kingmcdaid Hi there, Understood. I usually run single strains at a time myself, 3 or 4 clones per run. I find it easier as they evolve quite the same way. I keep 2 different mother plants in veg so I can switch strains along the year though. I recommend the Wedding Gelato (zamnesia) if you liked the Critical Kush. Wish you a great next one with the classic Mars Hydro ! Peace. Steph

@Steph_19,I appreciate your compliment. Documenting the grow is the difficult part for me. 2000 watts is a statement of supposed equivalency. Actual draw would be around 300-350 watts. And there were multiple plants of different strains sharing space during this grow it was a rather difficult undertaking to say the least. My latest grow will be a single strain using the sog method. I hope this will dissolve a significant degree of complexity this grow and dial in my results I've also since switched to a mars hydro tsw2000 which my research indicates should help drastically.
