From Steve seeds/steve Seedbank on facebook. Great service! 1 critical x northern lights Autoflower dropped in a glass of water for 36 hours then right into a 1 gallon final pot. This sprouted extremely fast 1 inch above soil in just 2 days flat! Really excited to see how this strain grows. It should be 1 tasty cross! Stay tuned! If anyone has any tips on this strain please feel free to share. Thanks !

This week started well then went down hill slightly due to over lighting issues and slight nutrient overload. This has been corrected and beginning to recover. I'm a week behind check back within the hour for week 4 update. Thanks !

This week the plant has been recovering from over lighting and some nutrient overload. I have since just watered only and relocated this to a safer lighting position. For 2.5 days this was directly under a mars hydro 600 at 14 inches in a 16x16 inch tent and it did not approve! Moved her to the other tent at a greater distance nearly 28 inch right now to relieve her. She is really coming back around! 🙏 Stay tuned Update day 24: very happy now! On her way to kicking butt again 🤞 she is now at 32 inch distance under a Sf-1000 at 80% + mars hydro 600 using 2/3 space of a 4ftx2ft tent.

Just upped the feed a bit and ready to rock and roll through flower. 1.25ml per gallon of cal mag and bio root + 5ml big bloom + 3.75ml tiger bloom. So far so good and she is off to the races. This plant grew unique to the other as far as shape. Size is practically identical to my other Autoflowers but just slightly different looking. It started with other strains but didnt start showing all the bud sites until about 5 days after each of the others. She has been fairly happy for the most part and hopefully we communicate well and I am able to give her what she needs to grow vigorously over the next 4-6 weeks ish? Hope she continues to do great! Stay tuned

This plants leaves for the past week or so atleast has been sagging. My watering has been on point but the further along I get this just doesn't seem to perk up. Not sure if it's a genetics thing or if there are any issues. The hairs are still standing and growing on the bud sites. Very little Trichome production so far compared to some others started at the same time. No other issues with leaves spotting or anything like that. This plant was never really that perky it's whole life. I have seen it look better than this though. I'll just keep riding her out and see what happens. Any suggestions please share thank you all! Stay tuned

Taking her good ole time but finally she has started to work her magic and fill in the bud sites. Trichomes are beginning to spread. She may have been a slow starter but I have a feeling she will be quicker on the other end. We will see. Still feeding her nutes every other watering. Hope she continues to do well. Stay tuned 🙂

This week has gone well as this continues to dense up and build Trichomes. It's got alil ways to go. It's been a slightly laggy plant since flower started. The leaves never fully stand. It has def. Kicked into high gear with bud production. Very hairy! Stay tuned as she rolls on. 🎄

Yet another amazing week and this thing is finishing so fast. Planned chop day is may 10th as it is 100% milky! There isn't much amber but hoping those next 4 days finish her off! She is dense, really stinky and looks so good! Praying for a solid finish and smooth drying process! Stay tuned!

Happy Harvest Day!

I'll update more smoke details in a few weeks stay tuned! Great outcome from this! Dry yield results 1 gallon fabric pot 22.5 grams!!! Over 3/4 of an oz of really dense, stinky buds!!! This plant stinks like banana cream pineapple forest wood covered in morning dew! 😅 Unbelievable the random flavor that comes from this. Tastes like artificial banana cream and pine. I only took a taster sample. The buds are frosty, hairy and very dense! Harvested on day 73 from seed with completely mky Trichomes for the most part. Little amber. (48 hours of darkness was given)

I will update the smoke in a few weeks. This plant did great and didn't need much from me. Low on foliage and ended up with stinky, dense buds that look amazing. The smell is out of control creamy banana pineapple. Looks great! Excited to finish cure and give a good smoke review. Seed to harvest in 73 days flat! 1 gallon pot of soil in my first ever grow with other strains in the mix , this one I thought looked the worse along the way as it's leaves usually didn't pray, it rarely stood up even, mostly a sagger but apparently nothing was wrong and it may be genetics as it finished really fast in flower and kicked ass! I would recommend this easy auto to grow for something off the wall different in smell/taste. Effects I cannot comment on yet so stay tuned for an update! Thank you all again so much for helping me with my first grow and experience! It's been a blessing! Appreciate you all. Peace!

Attention: 1 month cure/smoke report!!! Great smoke. This will dial you right in. Focus would be the key word. Plan this smoke during careful work that may take thought or detail as this will help you dissect every piece of the puzzle. Fairly potent as an over toke can send you to space pretty quickly as you spiral in stoney land. 😅 **Taste smell remains a tropical piney banana. Like pineapple express but with banana instead 🤷‍♂️ fairly refreshing and pleasant to smoke. Not to strong on the lungs. Buds are a medium or above density. Not rock hard but not fluff. Very sticky and covered in sugar 🤤 I will say the buds are all very nice for the most part. This plant really ended up being easy to trim to come out with a professional finish. I actually am fairly pleased with this from Steve Seeds on Facebook. Not sure the breeder officially but it did great. Even yield with multiple other strains in a 1 gallon pot. I will grow this strain again in the future for something different. Thanks for all your help and praise. Appreciate everything that helped me finish this strain in my library if my first ever grow! What a finish 💚

@PurpleWorship, it was it seems like a slow start in flower but literally took off like a rocket one day! Finished so fast these last few weeks. I can't believe the Trichomes. Fully milked. Shocking how little amber but I mean stem and head all fully milky even in lower buds! Great looking strain.

@happygrass, thank you I appreciate it. My hopes were low for a period of time with this plant but she really came around. It's turning into something special I hope! 🙏 👍
