White Critical is growing fast. She is a real joy to grow. Her stem smell minty. This doesn’t mean anything on how cured flower will smell. I had sweet smelling Zkitlles that stem smell minty. And I had spicy Kush that the stem smell the same way. The only thing is that White Critical flower will smell strong.
White Critical is supposed to be 60/40 Indica/Sativa. I have three other strains with similar ratio. The decision on White Critical rating will be made against strong competitions. Jut incase, White Critical grows easier with same result, I better take clones.
She is not so big so I FIMed her instead of taking a few nodes off as in proper topping. Whiter Critical did not complain too much on this stress and developed side buds.
Weather had been nice. Cool and humid night with warm and dry days. Perfect weather for golf and ganja. And it only rained the night before I took this week pics.
Feeding, with amino seaweed only. And I sprayed her with one more round of Beauvaria bassiana bugs control microbes. No buzzing buds but this is the season for thrip and white fly. Prevention is better than cure.
@Med_in_Tropic, A wise man once told me :
"For every disadvantage there is an advantage."
Not sure what the advantage is in having acid rain and radioactive soil tho 😂
Ofcourse it's having the knowledge, being able to come with solutions and keep learning/ using the brain that's the true advantage 🤓
@Smartie, approaching dry season. Yeah!
Wet season was to find good clone mothers for this time of the year.
By the way, I put up mostly new strains (to me) in diaries. I can’t be bother to write about
A mate in South Africa has to contend with acid rain and radioactive soil. Somewhere in the world, someone has it worse.
clones that I have grown for the umpteenth times.
In a way, I am making growing look harder than it actually is.
There are weeds that grows largely unattended in Thailand. And they do just fine.
@Shooey, 33 C and 90% RH 😀😀😀😀
I grow in hot (fertilized) soil and soil was wet. Damping off bound to happen.
The survivors are usually strong enough to take on outside rain. Then I can propagate with clones until I find something else to play with.
A couple more weeks, I’ll be in my dry season. I’ll put a few clones into flower for my primary grow period.
And this grow should be just in time for my indica window.
@Smartie, I was fuzzing with my plants this morning. I found a healthy 9 weeks old plant with single blade leaves. So here it is. Top colas has some pistil but I am outing this one in flower soon. So, keeping pistil in this case.
These buds are gorgeous. I love your garden! Must be a nice view with all these strains, clones, veging and flowering together! wish I could be in the tropic
Thanks @sativaman, oh we have our season. This is the prime time. Tgis corner is m sanctuary from work an ld even family.
Tropic has string sun but short hours. Our winter is nice. But in a month or two it’ll be nearly 40 C. Then very wet.
Natural plants to grow would be your 9 months long Sativa. 😀😀😀😀😀.
There are always trade off. We just have to adapt to nature.
Sweet med. is back strap molasses similar to your sludge? It’s a bi product of sugar cane refining as well.
Plants are looking great mate, so close to the finish now! 🍻
@Shooey, I use both. Molasses is for magnesium, sulfur, iron and a bit of calcium during flowering. Plus the sweetness in molasses fed microbes in the soil.
The sludge has even more micro-nutrients and more N.
NPK ratio is like 1-1-1. One and one and one is three. Got to be good looking 'cause he's so hard to see.
Seriously, sugar sludge is ass strong as cow manure.
Thanks mate @Shooey. This one was uneventful but got big. Wish all my grows are like this. Problem is I like Sativa and longer grow means more issues 😀😀😀
