This was a great strain to work with and I'm happy with the results. This strain produces thick dense buds that hold weight after drying. It has a great smell and knock out high! Kudos to barneys farm your strains are always top notch! It's important for me to reiderate that this is a 100% organic grow no chemicals were used for the entirety of the grow. I use a combination of LST topping and defoliation to achieve the growth you see this plant was grown with just 300 w of actual draw from a cheap 2000 watt equivalent led grow light. I produce/make my own soil for my grows and nothing but water was given to the plant by me. I hope everyone enjoys the eye candy! Feel free to like comment or question me on anything you've seen im happy to help.
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. β
@FR_PhenoFinder, hey buddy thanks for the follow I'm following you aswell now I have had alot of outdoor grows I know alot of tricks and as for making the soil at your grow better it's not as hard as you might think or expensive if you plan ahead and amend the soil that is already there why don't you pm me and discuss your set up maybe I could help
@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 !
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 π

@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.
@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_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.
