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)

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 ! __________________ 18 nov : The stresh is beginning ( +2,5 cm a day ) * heater installed * 19,5 inside, (6.5° ouside at night ) ; 32 cm high ! For the moment, every thing goes well ! ___________________ * heater installed * 19,5 inside, (6.5° ouside at night ) ; 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.

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 ..

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......

Week 14. Harvest

Happy Harvest Day!
Rated
8/10

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.
