deFharo Last year I grew a Critical seed from Royal Queen Seeds, and when I switched it to flowering, it suffered a tremendous blockage that I couldn't identify, and I couldn't get it out of, completely failing the grow. Now I know the causes were due to a reused substrate with too much organic matter that blocked nutrient absorption.
Today, a year later, with a bit more experience, I'm ready to pay my debt to this strain, giving it a second chance with the last seed I have left.
And as a friend told me: You won't be a complete grower until you grow a Critical 😵, well, let's get to it!!
Critical from Royal Queen Seeds, a hybrid strain resulting from the cross of Afghani x Skunk (Sativa 40% Indica 60%), the producer claims: a fast flowering in just 7 weeks, high yield, a moderate THC level around 18%, ease of cultivation, and resistance to diseases... this one has it all!! 😋
I placed the seed directly in soil moistened with mountain water, covered the soil with a glass to maintain high humidity, put the small pot on the router to keep it warm, and covered it with a fabric pot to give it darkness and prevent heat loss. The seed peeked through the substrate after 36 hours, and I started putting the pot in the window for indirect light. On the fourth day, I moved it to my vegetative growth cabinet. Currently, the seedling spends 14 hours in the cabinet with artificial light and 6-7 hours in the window. So far, everything is good.
CHEERS, HEALTH, AND BIG HARVESTS IN 2021!! 😄

deFharo Welcome to the second week of life for this mythical strain.
The seedling continues to establish itself in the pot; for now, it's struggling to advance in growth, although it remains taut and upright. I hope for notable growth this week... either way, I have to make this crop work, as I don't have a backup.
Nothing more for now... 👍

deFharo Welcome to the third week of life of this Critical seedling, my second chance with this strain after the failure of my first attempt last year.
At the beginning of the week, the roots started to come out from the bottom of the pot, the aerial part hadn't grown much, and one day later, by accident, the plant fell from a height of 1 meter, spilling the soil and exposing the small roots.
I immediately picked up the soil again and buried the roots, the seedling is still upright and this accident will likely delay its vegetative growth by a few days, but for now, it is stable.
REGARDS AND HEALTH TO EVERYONE!! 😕

deFharo Hello and welcome to the fourth week of life of this critical grow.
Most of this week, the seedling has been stunted and with curled leaves, due to the accident from last week. At times, I doubted its survival, as the first two leaves started to yellow after the cotyledons were exhausted. The seedling was self-nourishing to survive. Two days ago, the seedling stood up, and the roots began to appear vigorously at the base of the pot... one more week and I'll transplant it to the final pot.
This grow is exhausting me because I have to grow a Critical in my life, or else my friends won't forgive me and will joke about my reputation until my last days!! 😱
I trust this strain and hope to bring out its full potential... this week I will do some nutrient watering, as the substrate in this small pot has been in use for a month, and it surely won't hurt the seedling.

deFharo Welcome to the fifth week of life of this Critical strain... the plant is stable, has overcome the blockage and the accident that took it out of its pot. The roots are emerging boldly and vertically from the base of the pot, guided by gravity, searching for substrate and moisture.
Normally, in the fourth week, I would have transplanted to the final pot, but due to the setbacks in the grow, I've waited another week. I will likely do the transplant tomorrow since the appearance of roots at the base tells me that the root system is strong and ready.
I maintain the moisture in the pot with rain and mountain water at 50%. This week, I've also made a preventive application with horsetail extract... and that's all for now.

deFharo Hello and welcome, fellow growers, to the sixth week of life for this Critical strain, my last seed and opportunity where I risk my reputation as a standard grower 😈
After two accidents that pulled the seedling out of its pot and exposed its roots, the grow continues to be stable and with growth. Four days ago, I transplanted it to the final pot, in this case, a 6L air-pot that I hope to fill with roots and achieve maximum yield.
I've made a soil mix that I explain below:
- BASE:
Five parts of 3 mixed gardening soils.
1.5 parts of coconut fiber.
1 part of homemade bokashi from dry grass.
3/4 parts of seaweed humus.
1 part of Perlite.
1/3 of vermiculite and river sand.
- MINERALS 1g per liter of soil
Zeolite, Basalt, Montmorillonite, Diatomaceous earth, Kaolin, Illite, Wood ash, and Pumice.
- Minerals 0.5g per liter of soil
Azomite, Dolomite
Leonardite: 7g per liter of soil.
- MM and hormones
Homemade auxins: 0.5g per liter of soil.
Solid Mountain Microorganisms: 6g per liter of soil.
Biochar inoculated with Mountain Microorganisms 1/4 part.
At the time of transplanting, I gave a generous watering to the small pot so that the root ball would come out without crumbling. In the hole of the final pot, I placed homemade auxin powder and Mycorrhizae spores. I don't do the first deep watering until 24 hours after transplanting, as the root ball comes with a lot of moisture, and I want this moisture to spread to the surrounding soil... plus, we all know that water tastes better when you're thirsty 😵💫
After 24 hours, I watered deeply with a mix sweetened with molasses, Activated Mountain Microorganisms, and Ormus; the purpose of this first watering is to activate the substrate's microbiology while inoculating liquid MM and Ormus that helps with growth.
So far, three days later, the seedling is growing and expanding... all good!!
On day 41, I did a foliar application with soluble sulfur to prevent fungi and mites on the leaves... and for now, that's it 😜
GROW INFO 😋
- For all my watering mixes, I use Mountain and rainwater mixed at 50% (EC: 0.16). This water, as I have it stored, I structure for at least 15 minutes with a magnetic stirrer to oxygenate it and also to recover an ordered molecular structure, which favors cation exchange (nutrient assimilation). As a result of the structuring of the watering water, lower concentrations of nutrients can be used, up to 40%.
- All the soluble fertilizers I use and some solids (Bioles, Lactoferments, Hydrolyzed...) are of my own creation and formulation; I use purely organic components and residues to create them.
- Every day I rotate the pots 90° for an equivalent light distribution on all sides, as, in addition to a main lamp (CFL: 6400K), I use side lights with very specific spectrums (7700k, 450nm, and UVA-B) for this growth phase, targeting specific areas of the grow tent. For the same reason, in my grow tents with several pots, in addition to the daily rotation, every 4 days I also change the position-rotation of all the pots.
REGARDS AND HEALTH TO ALL GROWERS!! 😎

deFharo Welcome growers to the seventh week of life and the first since transplanting to the final pot (Air-pot 6l) of this Critical strain from RQS.
The establishment in the pot and the growth is fantastic this week (12 cm), and the roots are starting to come out from the bottom... without a doubt, this grow is not going to disappoint!! 😎
Water consumption is already very high and rising; today I've done the apical cut above the fifth node to limit the height and achieve more production. If all goes well, I will switch to flowering in a week.
WEEKLY ACTIVITY 😵💫
The first watering after transplanting was deep and aimed at activating soil life thanks to the molasses and Activated Mountain Microorganisms. The MM make the substrate fluffy, favoring root mobility; they also mineralize organic matter and facilitate nutrient assimilation.
This week, 3 more waterings to strengthen the grow and boost vegetative growth. I maintain constant moisture in the substrate so that the roots expand as soon as possible...
- Day 45. Watering mix with Activated Mountain Microorganisms with pumpkin, carrot, minerals, and chitosan at 2.5%, molasses, and ormus at 0.5%. PH: 6.66, EC: 1.0. 700ml.
- Day 47. New watering with Activated Mountain Microorganisms with minerals and nutrients (Plus) NPK at 3%, molasses, and Ormus at 1%. PH: 6.54, EC: 1.48. 500ml. I increased the initial watering in the pot by 25%. Now 1200ml of initial watering.
- Day 49. Watering preparation for vegetative growth and strengthening of the crop. PH: 6.35, EC: 1.15. 800ml.
Enzymatic hydrolysate of protein seeds - Chia, Quinoa, Hemp, Sesame - (amino acids) with minerals and enzymes at 1%, enzymatic hydrolysate of 4 algae (vitamins, micronutrients) with minerals at 1% and molasses.
GROWING ROUTINES 😋
- For all watering mixes, I use Mountain and rainwater mixed at 50% (EC: 0.16). This water, since I have it stored, I structure for at least 15 minutes with a magnetic stirrer to oxygenate it and also to recover an ordered molecular structure, which favors cation exchange (nutrient assimilation). As a result of the structuring of the watering water, lower concentrations of nutrients can be used, up to 40%.
- I note all the watering mixes I use for each plant, with control of PH, EC, and temperature, to ensure I provide very varied and/or specific nutrition for each moment. All the soluble fertilizers I use and some solids (Bioles, Lactoferments, Hydrolysates, Dehydrated...) are of my own creation and formulation; I use purely organic components and residues to create them.
- Every day I rotate the pots 90° for an equivalent light distribution on all sides, since, in addition to a main lamp (CFL: 6400K), I use side lights with very specific spectrums (7700k, 450nm, and UVA-B) for this growth phase, targeting specific areas of the grow tent. For the same reason, in my grow tents with several pots, in addition to the daily rotation, every 4 days I also change the position-rotation of all the pots. The average size of the pots I use, 6-7l, favors all this hustle!!
- Daily, I also weigh each of my crops to know exactly the water consumption and what remains in the pot. This information is very valuable to me, as I can quickly detect any incidence in the plant's metabolism. To calculate the moisture in the substrate, I start from an initial watering that I gradually take up to a maximum of 20% of the soil volume; for example, for a 7l pot with an adult plant, I use an initial watering of 1400ml, and when the plant has consumed between 65-75%, I water again. All these calculations and cultivation notes I keep with a customized Excel sheet.
And that's all for today...
REGARDS AND HEALTH TO EVERYONE!! 😋

deFharo Welcome to the eighth week of life for this Critical strain.
Two weeks after transplanting to the final pot (air-pot 6l), the plant is fully settled, roots are showing at the base, and water consumption, leaf mass, and height are progressing at a very good pace. One week after the apical cut, the lateral branches have become more prominent, and the two upper apices are starting to grow vigorously. I keep the plant indoors for 14 hours (cheap schedule) and complete the 20 hours of light by taking the pots outside... let the party continue! 🤩
This week I continue with watering using moderate concentrations of nutrients (macro and micro, vitamins...) to promote growth and strengthen the crop. I maintain high humidity in the pot to facilitate root mobility, finding moisture and nutrients wherever they go; the air-pot guarantees oxygen entry into the substrate, preventing excessive moisture accumulation. I've also added solid elements to the substrate, both organic and inorganic, at a rate of 2g per liter of soil. After the last watering, I added a new layer of mulch with dry material.
Happy with the evolution of the crop and the vigor of the strain...
REGARDS AND HEALTH TO ALL! 🌞

deFharo Welcome, fellow growers and others. Ninth week of life and the last of the vegetative growth. The plant is fully established and growing without interruption, showing a lot of vigor with big leaves and strong branches and stem. Water consumption is very high, this week it has consumed 2735ml of irrigation water, 22% more than the previous week, I need to water every 48h, now I’m sure I’ll take this Critical strain to the end and save my "reputation" 😂
At the beginning of the week, I started to reduce the light hours, going from 20/4 to 13/10, I reduced one hour of light daily. I could have gone straight to flowering 13/10, but since the plant was growing vigorously, I wanted to extend the vegetative period this way so it would become denser and not lose compactness.
At the same time, I started to replace some lights with others that have more appropriate spectra for flowering, I will continue until I replace all the lamps in this tent, in two weeks I hope pre-flowering begins and from there the lights in this tent will be very yellow! This is my first grow tent, I adapted a homemade cabinet of 60x40x126cm and today it is the most versatile space I have, as I grow with the door open and this allows me to have very powerful extra side lighting.
Since I find it interesting to note this light evolution, I’m making a description of the process up to today.
Starting lights for vegetative growth, the first 8 weeks:
Very white lights aimed at compacting the plant and strengthening the lateral branches.
CANOPY: Tneon Secret Jardin. Fluorescents 2x55w at 9500K.
SIDE: Quantum panel 36w at 7700K and Quantum Panel 36w at 450nm
WEEKLY ACTIVITY 😜
- Day 57. Watering with 800ml of a mix to boost vegetative growth and strengthen the crop. I use Activated Mountain Microorganisms with minerals and nutrients PK (Plus) at 2%, I add 1% of my enzymatic hydrolysate of 3 seaweeds with minerals and molasses to sweeten. PH: 6.55, EC: 1.18.
🕖 I reduce one hour of light, now 19/5.
- Day 58. I add a side panel of 60x30cm (30w) with 2700K.
🕕 I reduce one hour of light. Now 18/6
- Day 59. I tie all the branches and the upper tips to shape the plant, strengthen the lateral branches, and limit vertical growth.
Watering with 800ml of mountain water with molasses. PH: 6.33, EC: 0.38.
🕔 I reduce one hour of light. Now 17/7.

GROWING ROUTINES 😋
- For all watering mixes, I use Mountain Water (EC: 0.28) and rainwater (EC: 0.03, when I have it) mixed at 50% (EC: 0.16). This water, as I have it stored, loses oxygenation and its molecules become chaotic, so I structure it for at least 15 minutes with a magnetic stirrer, to oxygenate it and also to recover an ordered molecular structure, which favors cation exchange (nutrient assimilation). As a result of the structuring of the irrigation water, lower concentrations of nutrients can be used, up to 40%, in the end, structuring the water is recreating the perpetual movement we always find in river and sea water... living water!! 😌
- I note all the watering mixes I use for each plant, with control of PH, EC, and temperature, to ensure I provide very varied and/or specific nutrition for each moment. All the soluble fertilizers I use and some solids (Bioles, Lactoferments, Hydrolysates, Dehydrated...) are of my own creation and formulation, I use purely organic or mineral components and residues to create them.
- Every day I turn the pots 90° for an equivalent light distribution on all sides. For the same reason, in my grow tents with several pots, in addition to the daily turn, every 4 days I also change the position-rotation of all the pots. The average size of the pots I use, 6-7l, supports all this hustle!!
- Daily, I also weigh each of my crops, to know exactly the water consumption and what remains in the pot. This is very valuable information for me, as I quickly detect any incident in the plant's metabolism.
To calculate the moisture in the substrate, I start from an initial watering that I gradually bring up to a maximum of 20-25% of the soil volume, for example, for a 7l pot with an adult plant I use an initial watering of 1400ml and when the plant has consumed between 65-75% I water again. This way, and watering slowly, I avoid runoff, minimizing nutrient loss.
All these calculations and cultivation notes I keep with a customized Excel sheet.
• I understand that my way of growing is somewhat obsessive, plus it takes a lot of work to cultivate and experiment independently, but it entertains and amuses me a lot, I don’t lack good organic joints, all I can smoke 😵, and I see no limit to the evolution of the grower!! 😍
REGARDS AND HEALTH TO GROWERS!! 🤞🏽

deFharo Welcome, fellow growers, to the second chance I'm giving a Critical strain after the failure of the first one.
First week of flowering (13/11h) after the gradual decrease in light hours from the previous week. The plant shows remarkable vigor and growth, the lateral branches and the upper tips are growing strong, wanting to break their ties... great strain!!
This plant shares my homemade tent with Super Lemon Haze, and both are currently competing for the crown!!
Water consumption is increasing every day, a clear sign of notable root development! This week it has consumed 3316ml of watering, 21% more than the previous seven days... and still rising!! 😁
WEEKLY ACTIVITY 👨🌾🌾
- Day 65. The plant is in a great growth phase, reflected in the increase of leaf mass, leaf extension, and water consumption. I'm preparing a watering mix aimed at further boosting vegetative growth and strengthening the crop; I want the plant to reach flowering with a strong leaf structure. Watering: Mountain water with molasses, fruit lacto-ferment, minerals, and NPK nutrients at 3%, enzymatic hydrolyzed animal proteins (amino acids, NP, Ca, Fe, Cu, Mg...) at 0.5%, and Ormus (Ca, Mg...+PH) at 1%. pH: 6.53, EC: 1.05. 1100ml.
- Day 67. The amino acids from the last watering have made a noticeable impact, with shoots growing at lightning speed and leaves expanding to unusual sizes!! After the last two waterings with nutrients, I'm now preparing a mix with Activated Mountain Microorganisms (MMA Basic) at 3% to continue dissolving organic matter in the substrate, making it assimilable for the plant. I'm adding 3% Ormus to provide all the Ca and Mg the plant needs and to help raise the pH of the mix: pH: 6.8, EC: 1.20. 800ml.
- Day 68. I'm adding a Tled from Secret Jardin (23w) for flowering with spectra of 3000K, 2700K, and 660nm. CURRENT SETUP: 🏛️ Grow tent 60x40x125cm. 🕐 Light schedule: 13/11h 🌞 CANOPY: Tneon Secret Jardin 2x55w at 9500K. Tled Blowing. 💡 SIDE: 30x60cm LED panel at 2700K (30w). 30x30cm quantum panel (36w) 7700K. Slim COB 270° FS 380-780nm (50w). 🔄 Fans: Extractor and Intractor (8w), Interior x 2 (8w). 📈 TOTAL W: 261W /2= 130.5W PER PLANT
- Day 69. A watering mix aimed at strengthening the crop, boosting growth, and dissolving organic matter and minerals from the substrate. Mix: Mountain water with molasses, Activated Mountain Microorganisms with pumpkin, minerals, nutrients, and chitosan at 3%, and Ormus (Ca, Mg...) at 1% to regulate pH: 6.65, EC: 1.32. 1000ml.
- Day 70. The plant has started pre-flowering!! 💋 New watering, the high consumption from yesterday forces me to prevent the substrate from drying out. I'm making a gentle mix with mountain water and molasses to aid in the dissolution and digestion of nutrients present in the substrate and to energize the microbiology. pH: 6.80, EC: 0.40. 800ml. Foliar application with soluble sulfur (3g/l) before entering flowering and to prevent powdery mildew, but especially for spider mites, as temperatures have risen and relative humidity has dropped significantly; also, last night I found a few spiders on another plant. 🕷️🤞
Until next time!! 👀
CHEERS AND HEALTH, FRIENDS!! 🤓

deFharo Welcome growers to the second week of flowering and the eleventh of life for this Critical strain... a grow that's anything but critical!! 😋
The plant continues to show great vigor, proving its well-deserved fame, with multiple floral shoots seeking their spot of light among the leaves, which are expanding with great photosynthetic efficiency, giving the plant plenty of energy.
This grow was sharing my homemade grow tent with another strain, Super Lemon Kush Phenotype 1, its life-long sister, but I've separated them because they were bumping into each other in the tent. Super Lemon Kush now has its own tent, and Critical continues in the homemade tent accompanied by the second phenotype of Super Lemon Kush, which is smaller, so both plants are more comfortable and the light entry for both is better.
WEEKLY ACTIVITY 👨🌾🌞🌾💦
The plant has consumed 4047ml of watering this week, 18% more than the previous week.
- Day 71. Today the plant has consumed all the watering I did yesterday; the high temperatures and low humidity have contributed to this. I prepare a mild mix with mountain water (EC: 0.28), molasses, a few microbes with Activated Mountain Microorganisms with minerals and nutrients (MMA Plus) at 1.5%, molasses, and Ormus at 0.5% to regulate the pH and provide Ca and Mg. pH: 6.7, EC: 0.85. 1000ml.
- Day 72. The plant has again consumed almost all the moisture in the pot, I add 500ml of pure mountain water. I change the side LED panel from 7700K to another one with 3000K and 660nm spectra.
- Day 73. The great water consumption continues, I compensate for the lost moisture again by adding a mild mix with mountain water (EC: 0.28), molasses, a few microbes with Activated Mountain Microorganisms (MMA Basic) at 0.5%, molasses, and Ormus at 0.25% to regulate the pH: 6.6, EC: 0.50. 500ml.
- Day 74. Water consumption has decreased, as has the ambient temperature; I prepare a nutrient mix with amino acids to give the last nitrogen push before the plant fully enters flowering. Mix: Mountain water, molasses, enzymatic hydrolyzed animal proteins (amino acids, Ca, Mg, Fe, P...) at 0.5%, guano biol with Efficient Microorganisms -EM- (MMA, BAL, Ca, Mg, P...) at 2.5%, and Ormus (Ca, Mg... +pH) at 0.25%. pH: 6.3, EC: 1.0. 900ml. I take Super Lemon Kush Feno1 out of the tent and replace it with phenotype 2 of this strain, which is smaller, so now Critical and this one will have more space. I disconnect the side LED panel of 3000k & 660nm.
CURRENT SETUP:
🏛️ Grow tent 60x40x125cm.
🕐 Light schedule: 13/11h
🌞 CANOPY: Tneon Secret Jardin 2x55w at 9500K. Tled Blowing.
💡 SIDE: LED Panel 30x60cm at 2700K (30w). Slim COB 270° FS 380-780nm (50w).
🔄 Fans: Extractor and Intractor (8w), Interiors x 2 (8w).
📈 TOTAL W: 225W /2= 112.5W PER PLANT
- Day 76. I make the last foliar application with soluble sulfur to prevent powdery mildew and spider mites, which have appeared again in another grow; the leaves get stained with sulfur but protect me a lot, in addition to providing sulfur to the grow. From now on, as the plant is starting flowering, I won't make any more foliar applications that leave residues on the plant to preserve the quality of the flowers; I control the spider mites daily and manually eliminate them if they appear. Also, as a prevention for these mites, I keep the grows hydrated, not letting the substrate dry out too much; with the relative humidity of my grows, I don't have major problems, usually oscillating between 45% to 60%.
- Day 77. Deep watering with mountain water and molasses to help dissolve nutrients in the substrate and maintain root health; molasses serves as energy for the substrate's microbiology. pH: 6.64, EC: 0.37. 1000ml.
Until next time!! 👀

deFharo Welcome everyone, to the third week of flowering and twelfth of life of this vigorous Critical strain, in my second chance to grow it successfully... it seems like it's going well this time. 🤩
The plant has stopped vegetative growth and is fully dedicated to creating flowers. It drinks a lot of water due to its high metabolism and the small pot size; I try not to let the substrate dry out, as with the pot size, a few hours of drought can wreak havoc. I water deeply every 2-3 days, so far with nutrient-rich NPK water at low concentration, alternating with others that are just water, molasses, and MM.
WEEKLY ACTIVITY 👨🌾💦🌞🌾
- Day 79. I replaced the two 2x55w fluorescent lights at 9500K in the tent with others at 6500K. I've slowed down the switch to flowering lights because this strain shares the tent with phenotype 2 of Super Lemon Haze, which is just in its first week of flowering, and I wanted to maintain a strong white light in the canopy to promote vegetative growth and compactness. CURRENT SETUP: 🏛️ Grow tent 60x40x125cm. 🕐 Light schedule: 13/11h 🌞 CANOPY: Tneon Secret Jardin 2x55w at 6500K + Tled Blowing. 💡 SIDE: 30x60cm Led Panel at 2700K (30w). Slim COB 270° FS 380-780nm (50w). 🔄 Fans: Extractor and Intractor (8w), Interior x 2 (8w). 📈 TOTAL W: 225W /2= 112.5W PER PLANT
- Day 80. A complex watering mix after the last watering with just water and molasses. Mix: Mountain water with 1% of my fruit and mineral lacto ferment PK (Vitamins, microelements...) to enhance the growth of floral buds, I add 2% of my auxin lacto ferment, nutrients, and NPK minerals, to strengthen all branches and buds and contribute to good rooting, sweetened with molasses and pH adjusted with 1% Ormus, which also provides Ca and Mg. pH: 6.53, EC: 1.0. 1100ml.
- Day 83. Addition of solid components (organic and mineral) to the substrate, 1g per liter of soil. Gentle watering to help dissolve the solids with Activated Mountain Microorganisms (MMA Basic) at 2%, molasses, and Ormus at 1%. pH: 6.4, EC: 0.75. 1000ml. • I add dry material to the mulch; regularly every 3 weeks I have to replenish the mulch that the microorganisms have devoured, it's impressive how the dry matter disappears, turning into humified soil. • I do a defoliation of the larger leaves to optimize light entry and concentrate more energy on the growth of the colas. • In order to uniform the cola canopy, I have done LST ties to the two main branches, as they were sticking out from the rest (see last photo), this way I place most of the colas at the same height, and the secondary buds from the two bent branches will be enhanced... for sure.
💡 • I replace one 6500K fluorescent in the canopy with another 5400K one. CANOPY: Tneon Secret Jardin 2x55w: 6500K and 5400K + Tled Blowing. During these days I will make two more changes in the fluorescent lights of the canopy, to finish the week with two 2700K fluorescents, which I will keep for another week, then I will place the final 2100K fluorescents. At the same time, I’m going to customize the Tneon lamp and add 2m of led strip at 2200K, this way I will have the tent with the most orange lights in the whole garden, let’s see how this setup competes with other lights!! 🤤
Nothing more for now...
HAPPY GROWING!! 👨🌾🌾🌞

deFharo Welcome growers, another week of life for this Critical strain, which I've given a second chance after failing in my first attempt to grow this strain. The cultivation is moving forward, strong!!
Fourth week of flowering and the plant is completely dedicated to the growth of the floral buds, which look very healthy and vigorous; big colas are on the horizon!!
My main task with this crop is to monitor the health of the leaf mass to detect deficiencies and address them as soon as possible. An important part, given the tight size of the pot (air-pot 6l), is to maintain an optimal level of moisture in the substrate, without letting the pot dry out, as I've seen the danger of letting the substrate dry in these pot sizes.
The watering of this pot is slow, as the roots have invaded the entire substrate, and it's noticeable because it's hard to soak the entire substrate without water leaking through the holes. Anyway, I spray the holes of the pot, the base, and the mulch with water before watering, so that the substrate in those areas gets moist and doesn't drain too much water... these air-pot pots are excellent, but they require a lot of work.
WEEKLY ACTIVITY 👨🌾🌾💦🌞
This week the plant has consumed 3379ml of watering water, 33% more than the previous week... and you can tell!! 😁🤸♀️
- Day 85. Nutrient watering with molasses, Leonardite humate PK at 1%, Fruit Biol with Efficient Microorganisms (MMA, BAL, Vitamins, Micronutrients, Ca, Mg, NPK, Fe, Cu...) at 1.5%. PH: 6.72, EC: 1.24. 1100ml.
- Day 87. I replaced the two fluorescent lights in the canopy lamp, before: 1x 6500k, 1x 5400K, now: 2x 2700K. I will keep these fluorescents for at least two weeks, and then I will switch to the final 2100K ones. I do a watering with structured, mineral, and alkaline water collected from a permanent spring at sea level to help dissolve the previous watering. PH: 7.26, EC: 0.45. 1000ml.
- Day 88. Second customization of the main lamp, my old Tneon 2x55w. In the first customization, I added a Tled Blowing with spectra of 3000K, 2100K, and IR 730nm in the center. This time I added two 60cm LED strips on the edge of the reflector; the strips have a spectrum of 2200K and a consumption of 20w. It's a supplemental light for flowering and will be efficient given the short distance I maintain between this lamp and the plants (8-10cm).
- Day 89. There are some large leaves starting to yellow; I've prepared a watering with various components to ensure the presence of macro and micronutrients and strengthen the crop. The intention is to maintain the leaf mass so that photosynthesis remains very efficient to boost the growth of the multiple colas.
- Mix: Fruit and mineral lacto-ferment NPK at 1%, Animal meal Biol with Efficient Microorganisms -EM- (MMA, BAL, Ca, Mg, Fe, N, P...) at 1%, Guano Biol with EM at 1%, Activated Mountain Microorganisms with pumpkin, minerals, and chitosan at 1%, honey and Ormus to regulate the PH and provide Ca and Mg at 1%. PH: 6.43, EC: 1.30. 1200ml.
- Day 90. I reduce the light schedule by half an hour. Now: 12.5h of light and 11.5h of darkness. I add a side panel of 30x30cm and 36w of consumption with spectra of 3000K and 660nm in a 4/1 ratio. I add a UV-B 50 fluorescent bulb to the canopy, which I turn on for 15 minutes every 45 minutes during the light schedule.
CURRENT SETUP:
🏛️ Grow tent 60x40x125cm.
🕐 Light schedule: 12.5/11.5h
🌞 CANOPY: Tneon Secret Jardin 2x55w at 2700K + Tled Blowing (3000K, 2100K, IR 730nm) 23w + 120cm high-density LED strip at 2200K (19w).
💡 SIDE: 30x60cm LED panel at 2700K (30w). Slim COB 270° FS 380-780nm (50w). Side panel 30x30cm (36w) 3000K + 660nm.

deFharo Welcome everyone to the fifth week of flowering, 98 days of attention and care to bring this Critical strain to life, and in return, the plant shows its gratitude by gifting me beautiful buds that grow day by day.
The cultivation has shown vigor and strength from the start, and it has proven to be a great nutrient consumer, always fed with a very varied homemade organic food and pure water... to make it happy. 👨🌾💦🥧💡
It's curious how the plant is shedding the larger leaves in favor of growing colas, there is no nitrogen deficiency in the substrate 🤷♂️, and to make sure, I added some amino acids this week; almost immediately the newer leaves expand beautifully and lushly around all the buds, but the cannibalization of the older leaves doesn't stop, cleanly, the leaves change color without other signs. I love to think about the memory of this strain, knowing its fate, delicately but mercilessly absorbing the leftover nutrients from its first leaves to grow its colas more and more!!... let the photos speak!! 👸
- I have completed the transition of light spectrums this week; I will keep this configuration unchanged until harvest.
🏛️ Grow tent 60x40x125cm.
🕐 Light schedule: 12.5/11.5h
🌞 CANOPY: Tneon Secret Jardin 2x55w at 2100K + Tled Blowing (3000K, 2100K, IR 730nm) 23w + 120cm high-density LED strip at 2200K (19w).
UV-B bulb 50 (13w), I turn it on for 15 minutes every hour.
💡 SIDE: 30x60cm LED panel at 2700K (30w). Slim COB 270° FS 380-780nm (50w). 30x30cm side panel (36w) 3000K + 660nm.

deFharo Welcome growers to the fifth week of flowering, and the fifteenth of life for this Critical strain in my second attempt to grow it, the first one failed. 🤞
This week I've lowered the light schedule to 12/12.
The buds are growing at the same pace that the plant is shedding the larger leaves, the appearance of the colas is very healthy. The plant continues to have a high water consumption, I take care of the root health by alternating waterings with organic nutrients and others with just pure structured water and a bit of molasses, to promote microbiology work and finish diluting the nutrients from previous waterings.
Until next week, mates.
REGARDS TO ALL!! 👨🌾🌾☀️

deFharo Welcome growers to the seventh week of flowering, of this Critical strain in my second chance to grow it, the first one failed. 🤞
The plant continues to grow and fatten the buds, it also has a great water consumption. Gradually, the plant is consuming the nutrients from the older leaves... it needs them to fill the flowers!! The floral buds look very healthy!
I avoid letting the small pot dry out and I water it with soluble organic nutrients, alternating with water and molasses to promote the microbiology of the substrate and the mineralization of the organic matter.
Nothing more for now, see you next week....
REGARDS TO EVERYONE!! 🙋♂️👨🌾🌾🌞💧

deFharo Welcome growers to the eighth week of flowering, of this Critical strain in my second chance to grow it, the first one failed. 🤞
It's been a very hot week, I can't get the tent where I grow this strain below 30°C, I'm trying to keep the substrate hydrated.
After 3 nutrient waterings, the last one I did with alkaline spring mineral water to help dissolve nutrients in the substrate, I'm going to do a total of 3 consecutive waterings with water, or at least while the heatwave lasts.
The plant continues to consume the large leaves in favor of bud growth, they already look very nice and there's a great density noticeable.
This week also a solid macro and micro nutrient addition to the substrate, a mix of dried blood (N, Fe), worm castings, and cottonseed meal.
The tent mate has spider mites, today I sprayed both plants with my potassium soap, I'm going to keep the environment as humid as I can.
Until next week...
REGARDS TO EVERYONE!! 🙋♂️👨🌾🌾🌞💧

deFharo Welcome growers to the ninth week of flowering, of this Critical strain in my second chance to grow it, the first one failed. 🤞 I'm cultivating this strain with care and dedication, in a 6L air-pot, with ties on the branches, in a mix of light substrates with minerals and activated with native microbiology collected from the virgin forests of my region; I also feed it with soluble macro and micro nutrients created with anaerobic ferments and homemade hydrolysates, made with love and organic and mineral elements, I keep a lot of good light in my grow tents and my plants always have a hat (mulch) with dry matter to feed the microbiology and maintain optimal surface moisture levels... and here we go!! 💧🌞👨🌾
3M = Organic Matter, Microbiology, and Minerals.
3S = Sun, Hat, and Substrate
The plant continues to bulk up the buds, which look very nice and have great density, slowly shedding the older leaves, the water consumption for irrigation remains high and the plant is showing great strength, as besides withstanding the high temperatures from last week, it has been surrounded by spider mites, its plant and tent mate, Super Lemon Haze, has been severely infested and has aged a lot as well, some spiders jumped to this strain, but I've been applying potassium soap to all my crops for a week, trying to eliminate all generations of spiders, for now this Critical is under control and maintains its metabolism intact... we'll see how it goes this coming week! 🤞
Until next week...
REGARDS TO ALL!! 🙋♂️👨🌾🌾🌞💧

deFharo Welcome growers to the tenth week of flowering, of this Critical strain in my second chance to grow it, the first one failed. 🤞 I'm cultivating this strain with care and dedication, in a 6L air-pot, with ties on the branches, in a mix of light substrates with minerals, activated substrate with native microbiology collected from the virgin forests of my region; I feed it with soluble macro and micro nutrients created with anaerobic ferments and homemade hydrolysates, made at home with organic and mineral components, I maintain plenty of good light in my grow tents and my pots always have a hat (mulch), with a lot of dry matter to feed the microbiology and keep optimal humidity levels on the surface... and here we go!! 💧🌞👨🌾
The plant has overcome a complicated week in its grow tent, where spider attacks, and my bad practices to annihilate them, have ruined one of my best crops, but the spiders have been completely wiped out!! 😈😁😈😁
The buds continue to fatten and shine with their own light, now without serious impediments, hard as rocks they scent the entire grow space, competing with the smells of their companions, it’s going to be an acceptable yield considering the small pot.
The high water consumption remains, this week very varied nutrient waterings, in contrast to the flushes with water from the previous week, I have also added solid components to help... all the best for my girl! 🌞💧👨🌾👌, microbiology, macro and micro nutrients to help this Critical strain reach its zenith of glory!! 🤸♀️🌲
Until next week...
REGARDS TO EVERYONE!! ✋👨🌾🌾🌞💧

deFharo Welcome growers to the eleventh week of flowering, of this Critical strain in my second chance to grow it, the first one failed. 🤞 I'm cultivating this strain with care and attention, in a 6L air-pot, with ties on the branches and stem, and in a mix of light substrates with minerals and activated with native microbiology collected from the virgin forests of my region.
I feed it with soluble macro and micro nutrients created with anaerobic ferments and homemade hydrolysates, made at home with organic and mineral elements. I maintain a lot of good light in the grow tents, my plants always wear a hat (mulch), with dry matter to feed the microbiology and maintain optimal moisture levels on the surface, to facilitate the creation and maintenance of adventitious roots from the very first centimeter of soil... 💧🌞👨🌾
The grow is coming to an end, the strain continues to withstand the ups and downs of its existence, with continuous appearances of spider mites, which has forced me to make several consecutive applications of my Potassium Soap on the plant, this week being the last of them, after completely burning another of my grows. I've been more careful with the soap application this time, I've washed the plant hours after each application to clean the leaves and prepare it for the next application. Even so, the continuous applications oxidize the pistils and burn the tips of some leaves, but the plant holds on, its buds are extremely hard and frosted with resin! 👍
This week, to try to invigorate the grow, after so many problems, I made a concentrated application with Activated Mountain Microorganisms (MMA) and Amino Acids, which I extract through enzymatic hydrolysis from various animal meals. The mix of MM and amino acids is brutal, in terms of immediate energy supply, plus it's a perfect mix to launch doped microorganisms into the substrate!! 😁🤳 The result has been seen in the timid but profuse appearance of new flowers. I know it's a very advanced moment in the grow, but it has definitely suited it wonderfully... today I’m watering only with water and molasses so the plant can finish digesting the previous watering.
Until next week...
REGARDS TO ALL!! 🙋♂️👨🌾🌞💧

deFharo Welcome, cannabis growers.
Last days of life for this great strain, one more watering and I'm cutting it down! 🤷♂️ Hard and frosty buds are waiting for me! 🤸♂️☝️🌲
Despite the last-minute hiccups with this grow, the plant has shown great strength; it's no coincidence that Critical strains have a good reputation.
The high water consumption continues this week, two last nutrient waterings to try to get the most resin, and I'm waiting for one last watering, which I'll do today, with pure mountain spring water.
Until the cut...
REGARDS TO EVERYONE!! 🙋♂️👨🌾🌞💧

¿Qué puedo decir de esta cepa que no se haya dicho ya?
Una planta con gran fortaleza que resistió plagas y mis malas artes, aun así, la cosecha se ha salvado con dignidad.
Después de una semana de secado, hoy, la he puesto en los botes de curado, también la he probado, y tiene gran potencia, aunque todavía necesita secar algo más, completaré esta valoración dentro de algunas semanas.

deFharo Finally, I've managed to grow a Critical, and it's worth it. I wasn't too excited about it since Critical has been the only weed I've smoked for a few years when I was still buying.
Despite the small pot, the red spider mite attacks, and the burns I caused with very concentrated potassium soap, the plant held up and gave me some beautiful, dense buds, covered in resin crystals.
👨🌾 EXTRA GROWING DATA (Statistics taken from my daily tracking.)

🌾 PRODUCTION DATA:
The gram/watt calculation from GD, for my growing method is not exact because I grow different strains in the same space and in individual diaries. I grew this plant alongside three others in a tent with 339w of lights and fans. If I divide this power by the number of plants, I get a value of 113w per plant, which means the gram/watt percentage increases.
