Round 1 critical mass

Alright alright everyone been contemplating putting this run up as I didn’t document the veg part of these girls lives but decided it’s got a nice bit of learning experience I can share with others so here she goes! These fine lady’s are critical mass I chose to do them for the obvious reason: There massive and decently potent. My last run was the first time I cracked the pound in a 4x4 and I wanted to try and blow that outta the water so this seemed like an appropriate strain. These girls spent a whole 2 months from seedling and in veg before I made the flip. While vegging they were under my 315 cmh to start then moved there way up to a 600w MH. After my last go coco really stole my heart it’s an amazing medium to work with once you get to know your ppms and read your plants on the fly so I switched from using the 3 part ph perfect to the coco connoisseur line witch was a lil pricey but is seeming more worth it every day so it’ll be my new go to as long as this continues. One of the biggest lessons I got outta the last go was treat your roots as good as you absolutely can so every watering in veg they got there healthy feeding of Root Excelurator from home and garden(this product is very expensive but my lil secret weapon). Happy roots bigger stalk, bigger stalk bigger buds, wise words to go by. Through veg I topped 2ce and went to town with the LST witch is also my favourite form of training(a lot of interaction and fun with the plants). This brings us to the flip, instantly I switched the MH out for my HID bulb on the 600 and did a moderate defoliation to open up the airflow. I made the switch over to the bloom nutes and started hitting em with 600ppms(the happy spot for my last run). Looking very much forward to the future for these beautiful lady’s. Thanks for tuning in and checking er out hope you guys don’t mind such a long intro but I felt I needed to do that ton of recap. Make sure to stop by next week, I decided to bite the bullet and spend the money on a big boy light! Crazy excited hoping it’ll be the key to taking things to the next level. You’ll have to wait and see what brand and style it is ;) Thanks again and happy growing, Till next time!!!

Hello and welcome back fellow growers hope the fall is treating y’all outdoor growers well! Week 3 of flower and there loving life as stated in the previous week I made my biggest change and investment to date!! After much research and communication with the company(there customer service was on point) I made the leap and got a Photontek 600 Pro light and good god it fully held up to all my expectations! This bad boy is the mother of quantom boards in my opinion and the spec chart to go with it. Sorry if it seems like I’m bragging I’m just really proud been workin years for this. Back to the plants though really no change in feedings over been alternating feeding and straight water every few days and they seem to be liking it. Only adjustment made was the addition of big bud coco witch is my first time with this specific product and hope it works as good as advertised. I’m expecting to see some explosive growth from here on in with the new light so be sure to check in again next week! Happy growing everyone I hope you all have an awesome long weekend!!!

Hello everyone! So this week’s picture was taken 9 days after last weeks and good god... I’m not sure if it’s just genetics or the photontek doing it’s thing but I swear the buds themselves doubled over night absolute insanity and the smell is on its own level too. I’ve been lazy and didn’t get around to putting the carbon filter on and every day the smell started permeating farther and farther through my house until yesterday I smelt it outside and that got me motivated to put it on. After hooking up the filter the issue disappeared within hours and surprisingly the temps in my tent hardly went up(shout-out to AC Infinity best in-line fans ever). Now I’ve been basing my ppms off my previous grows kinda hovering around the 6-800. That’s not working with these hungry ladies, I started seeing signs of deficiencies so decided to step it up a notch to the 900 mark. This brought most of the leafs back to a solid nice green but the one girl in the back left corner still seems hungry. Ima continue this and see because I am horrified of lockout but will keep you posted. As a side note I’ve changed up my watering method a bit and it seems to be helping. I have a 14gallon bucket with a sump pump connected to a hose to water them and the bucket normally waters 6 plants in 3G containers but I decided to make sure I’m really flushing the salts out and introducing the new food so I unloaded all 14g on these 4 girls every other day. It’s a bit more work but they seem to love it so I’ll continue on doing so. Honestly I’m loving this strain this far and hope at least some of this information will be useful for others. Till Next time everyone thanks for tuning in and happy growing!!!!

Good day fellow growers and I hope y’all’s gardens are treating you like mine is to me! I wanna start by saying hot damn how does this strain not have more of a reputation because these are some of the biggest smelliest awesome strain I’ve ever had the pleasure of growing! Every week that goes by these ladies are getting fatter and just continuously stacking with fresh pistils and calyx’s I’m getting to that excited to them being done point I have no doubt it’s going to be difficult for me to beat what the outcome of this grow is going to be again but that’s far away so not to worry about now. Kkkkk enough of my life story and to the point last week I had upped the ppms and they have been reacting well, this is my last week using the big bud and I’m making the change to overdrive. Weathers been weird here it got cold so I took apart my A/C setup and put a 6” booster fan onto a hole leading to outside sucking the cold air into the room with an ink bird controller to be safe. The next day temps went back up outside bringing this tent up to 85 so I re setup the A/C and that fixed the issue. For the plants themselves there pretty similar but the one in the front right is easily my favourite and if it wasn’t for me just buying a bunch more seeds to do a proper pheno hunt I’d be revegging her to make a mother. Besides the explosive growth all is well in the world of northern growing and in looking forward to getting you guys an update next week! Thanks everyone for checking it out, Happy Growing!

And bammmmm were on week 6 of flowering how time fly’s when your having fun. These super smelly rock hard ladies are still stacking hard getting taller and thicker by the day I’m guessing this ones going to last at least 9 weeks at the rate there going but I’m not going to complain. After a really good flush to get all the buildup out I made the switch to overdrive and started feeding them a bit more of the connisseur to help continue the stacking. The ones on the left are starting the fade now, hopefully that also leads to some beautiful colours. Anyways nothing extreme going on at the moment I’m already looking forward to next weeks update! Happy growing everyone and thanks for tuning in!!!
