XXL Critical Auto - Run 1

Moved back and forth between full sun light and indoor Grow LED lights. This was before Mars hydro lights. There are 2 plants planted in this pot. Notice one is in veg and the other is already beginning the flower stage. I learned from this grow every plant should have its own container so you can tailors its feeding specific to its needs. Now I have an issue do I feed veg or feed flowering? I didn’t want to sacrifice the flower since it was my first time so I opted to follow flowering schedule. I went to hydroponics store and picked complete hydroponics products. This week is the first and second time I used LST technique with them. Really happy with the results this strain is really happy to be trained. First time I used string to tie things down this time I used metal pot brackets. Much more convenient and easier to accomplish what’s needed to be done. I opened them all up, pruned any foliage leaves facing up to allow full light penetration across the whole plant. I made sure everything was tied low and even for even light distribution. First time grower so I might be over doing the LST technique at such a small stage but it worked out great in the end. Really excited to watch them grow.

Did not do much here besides water and begin the week 1 flowering schedule provided by complete hydroponics.

This is the second week I started feeding complete hydroponics. Wasn’t really sure about this really couldn’t find too much information about it but I spent the money so time to put it to good use and figure it out. All seemed good so far. Besides the small size everything seems pretty happy. Second plant is showing signs of beginning the flowering phase.

As you can see here these are the supplemental LED lights I been using indoor not the best but it was doing it’s job and got me in the game. I added a Mars hydro ts600 to add more light since we are in flowering. Hoping to get flowers worth a smoke. Still keeping the light on a 24 hour schedule. Since I lack powerful lights trying to make it up by offering 24hours of lights. Pretty happy I finally have nug structures and not just pistil hairs. If you notice the second plant seems to have grown tall outside of the pot covering and it also in flowering!! Happy about this cause growing 2 plants in 1 pot in 2 different phases of growth can be troublesome. Especially when one needs high amount of nitrogen and the other requires limited amounts. So far all good. I upped the nutrients to 100% suggested by complete hydroponics feeding chart. You’ll notice the plants already started to show that I am not a pro when it comes to ph and concocting nutrients. Something I will need to master if I want good yield and potency.

Ever since I started adding nutrients my main flowering plant looks like it’s stressed out. Maybe even slowing of some growth. The one that just started flowering seems to be unbothered. Continuing to try to follow instructions as best as I can but of coarse I can do stupid things like after I feed I once used water without ph correcting it 😒. All good though gotta learn somehow. This strain keeps growing regardless. Might just not hit its maximum potential due to lack of professional know how.
