I tried this strain on last culture , and i am really confident for a good crop !
So I decide to use the 3 last Critical daddy seed for the next run.
Thanks to Smiled : incredible effience of 4 x 60 w leds

-have a look to the previous culture at about 4 weeks of flowering cycle.
Now :
: Quick seeding : 4 days in root riot
on CFL for the first weeks
10 days after=> healthy little plants
Here the little girls at about 12 days old.
Little, but yet strong !
Some troubles with automn temperatures, the past weeks ; from 8 to 18 at night : from 13.8 to 26.6 C° inside.
=> I add a small 80 cm green house heater. ( stop at 24 °) .. and 3 days later It seems good
By the way, I send extracted air from house directly in the "box" for temperature regulation... it helps.
Starting today a with small drops of GHE bio Grow (Terra Aquatiqua , now) . ( neutral bubstrate )
Let see on next week ;-)
The Blimburn Critical Daddy is one of the quicker growing pot i have seen. At that time +2 cm, more leafs and more healthy than others hybrids.
My previous round with this stain shows that it was stabel , all phenos are quasi equals in size and volume.. let'see
*** I try a new ligth setup : for gorwing , SMILED made me a custom setup with one 60 W CREE LED , and a separate dimmable alim.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if the wreather is good, because the led provides less heat.
=> But 60w LED + 80 W green house heater is less tan 200 w CFL.
Please have a look to the pisture of the current flowering round ( hope harvest in 2/3 weeks)
New Grow (4 weeks)
_______________________________
Last week I began topping / fim , ( first try for F.I.M)
Now they eat the Gro nutrient at the recomended level ( 2ml/L) + root.
New pots : about 4 l (?) , the roots are just begining turning.
Soil : home made =>
breeding ground bought (perlite / coco/ seaweed powder) 60% + coco 10% + horse manure (3%) + my garden's ground 30% ; I' ll have clovers ;-))
Parallel & Current Grow of 4 Critical daddy (Flow stage of the same seeds)
_________
The magic of SmiLed : 200 W LED setup !
Have a look to the pictures!
Last Week of growing ; I changed for bigger pots at the end of last week.
Now in the 14 L pots ; home made soil .
...and I've harvested the previous critical dady today : hudge buds ... I'l do another diairy for the final harvest and results in a couple of weeks.
Change to Flo 12/12 , planned for this week, just waiting for less stress after new pots and topping.
This week is is important , we go into flowering stage .
The 3 Critical dad have different cuuting (I try to find what is the best cutting way for a good simpliciticty / quality / quantity ratio) .
I use the bio versions of TerraAquatiqua ( ex GHE) exactly at recomended levels. I am also sure that using in soil parts of my garden soil and horse manure give "real life" to the soil.
Last month, I bought a new LED : I have now 5 units 50/60 w Smiled , for 5 14 l pots. 3 of BlimBurn's , 2 of Kusk set as witness .
Winter is coming , so I found 2 80w greenhouse heaters that produce a soft heat , managed by and home made thermo switch.
I made also a smal cure based on Cinnaprot (cinnamon exttract) to prevent pests and thrips .
News for Round #1 of Critical Daddy : waiting ... I 'll made a new diary when the harvest will be dry... I hope a 0.75 g/w/m2 ! at least 0.6
See you soon !

juste a little bit of LST.. on two branches
By the way I received the seeds for the next run , from Blimburn -first time i try 3 times the same strain ! DHL delivery expensive but .. i received my seeds in 24 hours, from monday to thursday .
critical da again , and I'll try MANBA NEGRA, indoor and outdoor next spring.
Really fresh nights ( <1 ) with impact on my "indoor greenhouse" , wich is in a cold garage.
Strech and some ligth LST , to maintain the top at the same ligth distance.
Beginning of the 3rd week ..
No changes in nutrients.
A little more water .
Some -very few- LST for an uniform (quite) canopy.
Strech :
Green and large leaves , it seem to be more "indica" than in the previous run of this stain ..
Healthy and strong .
Changes will append this week ! ..
------------
Nov 28
Strech + flowering
!! in one day more flowers appers clearly , with liittle withe lashes
+ 4 cm , I have to think very day to raise the ligths ;-)
3 - DEC . beginning of 4 th week .
Buds are flowering , but I've seen some pests ( eggs ..) , so I spray Cinnamon oil
.. let see
I forgot to water ... and it made a natural defoliation (stress vs hand defoliation ?)
Good girl , just a little bit smaller than the previous, i made may be due to the cold weather (it seems ..)
5-Dec : treatment with Cinnafrot; have seen som thrips .
6 Dec , Low temp in night ..
Every thing is all right .. for the moment.
No pests... for the moment ;-)
the one i let the apex seems to become a hudge bug , the others have also big buds , but smaller
Temp is quite low ... from 19° to 22 ° but correct. average about 71 °F
Some troubles again with thrips on big leaves.
Leaves are bginning to turn yellow and some fall down naturally.
Certainely due to weather and maibe to seeds .. the critical dad seems to be less dynamic .
harvest is not too far......
24 of December : 42 days from 12/12 (6 th Week)
Buds are reacting correctly, with actually 20% of mature trichromes
Harvest will be on time, in about 8-14 days
The little troubles with pests are now behind us, and I am just waiting for the harvest.
Merry christmass😜
48 Days from flo ... expected harvest at 50 days.
No more nutes now
The buds seems ready .. i'll check with microscope, but the harvest is not far.
3 cuttings / 3 responses / 3 shapes.. let see on harvest the results.
First try for harvest .. may be too early ..
But with this kind of 85% indica , i prefer 80% withe 20% brown
go to dry
next week first try of "radiator dried"
Second time I grow this strain : it is a now a base for my mostly Indica hybrids
Easy to grow, produtive & short. quite resistant : a very goo choice.
Unfortunally I cut them a little bit to early and have lots of troubles to dry them in winter .. but the result remains good ; not as good as the first time .
More differences between the three phenos than for the first grow.
A very good chaice : productive and healthy strain, easy to grow in small rooms.
Good taste ans good effects : strong but clear , not too munch sleepy.
Good yeld regarding my growning technic : do less . I think it can be easy to reach more than 500 g/m2 with enhanced technics.
A good harvest ; 1g/W ,
just a bit too early ...
Difficulties to dry the weed in winter
but at the end , i recomand this strain : ease of grow and good yeld.
Good taste and effects ... You want more ?
