So I am halfway through my first harvest and I'm starting to feel like I may have been impatient! Would appreciate any advice or constructive criticism from any experienced growers out there! Do you think I harvest the rest of my plant now or leave it a while? Any tips/hints on the best way to maximize bud density? Thanks in advance

3rd week in and just transplanted my 6 girls! All spitting white pistols! Can’t wait to see what these girls turn out like! They are pumping along and am very happy with growth rate and health!using fabric pots as I like the soil to be able to get air! Using 1 litre of perlite to 25 litre premium potting soil! The potting soil itself is very coarse aswell to allow for good drainage! I fertilised the last 2 weeks and willl continue! Another 3 weeks under the fc 6500 by mars hydro then flip to flower! Will keep posted! My first grow using the newest LEDs instead of the old hps. Happy as people thanku

Hello again, GrowDiaries family! 😎 We’ve officially entered Week 11 (5th week of flowering) and this Critical is breaking the rules. Even in full bloom, she managed a last stretch, reaching 40 cm. The reaction to this week's defoliation has been simply perfect, and the energy is now 100% focused on the flowers. 📏 Precision Measurements & Training -Height: 40 cm (a surprising +3 cm stretch since last week). -Canopy Management: The LST and the deep defoliation from this past week have created the ideal environment. Airflow is optimal, and light is reaching the base of every cola. -Visual Check: I’m continuing with the white light photography. Resin production is at its peak, and the first milky trichomes are already starting to appear. 🌡️ Environment & Climate Challenges -Temperature: We are still managing those tricky nights at 12°C and 27°C during the day. -The Strategy: The lukewarm water trick after the defoliation was key. The plant showed no stress and continued growing vigorously despite the cold floor temperature. -Humidity (RH): Stable at 40-45%. This is crucial now that the buds are gaining density to prevent any mold issues. 💧 Watering & Organic Strategy -Nutrient Strategy: Maintaining the Biobizz schedule: Bio-Grow 1ml, Bio-Bloom 2ml, and Top-Max 1ml per liter of water. She is drinking and eating everything with great appetite. -Pest Control: The cinnamon barrier is still there and working perfectly. Zero gnats, zero problems. It’s the best way to keep the roots clean during the final stage of flowering. 🌿 Flower & Resin Evolution -The sugar is turning into ice! ❄️ Resin is now heavily coating even the smallest leaves, and the buds are fattening up fast. The aroma is a Critical classic: sweet, fruity, and very pungent. Thanks for the comments and for following this grow. We’re getting close! 😉👍

Added bud iignitor this week along with bulky b. Went to about 1031 ppm on the total nutes. Looking at just a slight tip burn but pushing them is how we grow gas!

First week of flowering

Today was "the day", I had to select some ot them for reason of space and discretion and the selected plants have been moved to bigger pots, as it follows: Do-Si-Dos (auto), clay pot about 15L = 10cm height (the other one showing already pre-flowering was discarded) Cookies Gelato, 9,5L pot = 10cm height White Widow, 9,5L pot = 11cm height 2x ICE, 9,5L pot + 12,5L pot for the second = 11-12cm height (I kept both because they were both amazing!) The choice of the pot volume was based on the expected height to be discrete, which should be max 80cm and ChatGPT helped me to calculate the pot volume (it suggested me 7,5 to 10L), but I was slightly more generous especially with the auto-flowering. Last year my Sticky Orange auto got the best yield with the same clay pot, so I tried the same :P

This week, we had a lot of filling out. Violet doesn't seem to grow as tall as wide! The leaves are so pretty, it's heartbreaking to cut them. 9/13 day 37 I thought I started noticing yesterday, but today, Violet quite obviously has red hairs! Hard to notice at a distance, up close, most of the buds have definite red hairs that match my own. Happy about her recent feeding, her luster is returning, and she's more and more full every day. 9/15 day 39 Every day is crazy hair day around this camp, and Violet always shows out with her long, white pistils. Over the last couple of days, the red hairs have been drowned out by more long whites, though I don't know why the back and forth. She is still getting very droopy kind of early, and no light adjustment seems to alleviate this. I've been reluctant to turn the light up to a proper level for flower so far because of it. Can not enough light cause similar symptoms? Every couple of days, I remove a leaf or two, do some tucking to uncover bud tops, and add or adjust LST. Getting wider than taller, she's really started to fill up the cabinet! 9/17 day 41 I take Violet out of the cabinet for what will probably be one of the last times, if not the very last. One fault of our cabinet is the narrow doorway, which we probably need to widen out at some point. Her layers are so well-defined and even, it is easy to see the separate tiers when looking at her straight on. I take off four big, sexy leaves, two of them the remaining original big fan leaves from the first nodes. There are still a couple more that need to come off the very top, but I can do those later, and I don't want to shock her too much at once. I also water 1gal today, enough to barely run out to preserve those nutes from last week's feeding. She looks very tired and sad as I tuck her back into the cabinet. Hopefully she will recover for morning pics. 9/18 day 42 Violet is slow to wake today. I have to detangle all her little leaves every morning, and today is extra. I'm going to adjust her light today. I've been waiting for her to not be so droopy at night, but we're going to see if it maybe helps instead of hurts. I do a moderate raise to 750 PPFD, about 45 DLI, to see how it goes. I also notice the return of the red hairs this morning! Unfortunately, there is no smell whatsoever yet, other than plant. Everyone who sees her says how healthy she looks. Anything that was appearing as light tips has filled out with color, and the beautiful blue-green leaves are full and lush. If everything I've read about this strain is true, we should only have a few weeks left with this plant, and the buds look like they're going to be nicely formed if we stay on course. I have so much hope for Violet's harvest!

Everything seems to go very good with this plant it's growing very fast is a monster in growth looks like it is on steroids fantastic genetics. The smell is very powerful now definitely give you a preview of things to come thank you for reading I will continue to update a happy grow

I've added another scrog net to the plants because they are already starting to pack on some weight from being so dense. Small but dense 😂 Day 42 of flower is today although I like to take 3-5days off to allow for the transition. I think I added a double dose of Microben or Flourish because some of the plants in here have tip burn but they are still bulking up so I'm just feeding water for another week in here 😁 Some of the strains what can be in this Fastbuds Photoperiod mix pack are done in around 9weeks some upto 11 so its just a case of keeping a eye on the trichs in 2-3weeks and chop when my desired Clear/Cloudy/Amber 😸

one of the best plants ive grown. very happy with this harvest00000

She is stacking up…I will defoliate her this week and increase the feeding of bloom as a test to confirm how much she can handle.

Woche 4 / Vegi Woche 3 Der Grow: Am Anfang der Woche wurde das erste Mal getoppt. Ziel des toppen war es, 6 neue Haupttriebe zu haben. Da die Triebe der ersten Nodien viel kleiner waren, als die der zweiten, habe ich solange gewartet, bis die Triebe der vierten Nodien, so große Blätter hatten, dass sie nachdem toppen, gleich mit Photosynthese beginnen können. Dann wurde über den vierten Nodien getoppt und die Triebe, samt Blätter, der ersten Nodien entfernt. Die Pflanze hat das toppen gut verkraftet. Ich mache von jeder Woche Zeitrafferaufnahmen und man konnte sehen, dass alle Triebe gleich nach dem toppen weitergewachsen sind. Den Rest der Woche, habe ich die Pflanze, einfach wachsen lassen. Die Triebe haben sich gut entwickelt und die Pflanze ist wie erwartet kompakt geblieben und extrem buschig geworden. Vermutlich werde ich in der nächsten Woche, die 6 Haupttriebe erneut toppen, um auf 12 Haupttriebe zukommen. Dazu aber im nächsten Update mehr. Im letzten Update hatte ich geschrieben, dass ich die Bodenfeuchtigkeit, versuche bei 55% zuhalten. Dies scheint jedoch zu viel zu sein. Nachdem ich die 55% einige Zeit gehalten habe, wurde der Topf, in der Drainageschicht, sehr nass. Ich hatte zwar noch keinen Drain, aber das der Topf in dem Bereich sehr nass war, hat mir gezeigt das sich dort Wasser sammelt. Aber eigentlich sollte der Bereich trocken sein. Deshalb habe ich die Bodenfeuchtigkeit langsam gesenkt und peile jetzt die 50% an. Man konnte auch sehen, dass sich die Blätter im Verlauf des Tages nicht mehr komplett aufgestellt haben. Sondern ehr leicht nach unten hingen. Was für eine beginnende Überwässerung spricht. Mittlerweile ist der Bereich der Drainageschicht, wieder komplett trocken. Den VPD habe ich im laufe der Woche langsam erhöht, bis auf 1,4kpa am Ende der Woche am Tag und auf 1kpa in der Nacht. Diese Werte werde ich jetzt so weiter fahren, bis zur Umstellung auf die Blüte. Der DLI wurde am Anfang der Woche auf 30 erhöht. Die Parameter in Woche 4: Durchschnittliche Tagestemperatur: 27 Grad Durchschnittliche Nachttemperatur: 22 Grad Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Tag: 63% Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Nacht: 61% Durchschnittliche Bodenfeuchtigkeit: 53% LED Leistung: 30% = 110 Watt Beleuchtungsdauer: 18 Stunden DLI: 30 Controller Einstellung Tag: Advanced AI VPD 1,4 Controller Einstellung Nacht: Advanced AI VPD 1,0 Durchschnittlicher VPD Tag: 1,3 Durchschnittlicher VPD Nacht: 1,0 Umluft: Stufe 1 oszillierend

Привет садоводы цветок вырос красивый еще недельки 3 и будет готов бутоны поднабухли и стали более морозными запах приятный сладкий

So girls look amazing, A.N.Q. will be ready in time of a week for A.L.K. it is 3,5 week more to harvest. If you like my effort hit a button and start Follow Me !! :D

The girl's growth is going quite well, the upper leaves are a little brighter, it shows that the girl is suffering a little from the low light, although my light has only reached about 70-75% of its total energy and the air temperature during the day reaches 30°, but at high temperatures there is quite a lot of humidity, about 70-80%, which is saving me at the moment :) and after a few weeks I will take the suitcase to another place, because the dark room is really warm :) "heated floor" to summarize - she looks really cool and copes well with not very favorable conditions :) Plagron products are really cool :) I have already bought a few additional products from them :) but this is not the whole line that I need, I will replenish it over time :) this is my first growth with Plagron :) good luck to everyone:)

She is getting bulky and smell awsome it will be some good somke

Week six all the plants have been doing very well. A few of them have suffered some broken tops because of me but other than that doing well the leafhoppers have been doing their best to do some damage but nothing major and the hole seem to be holding water very well I’ve been minimally watering only about once a week just a couple gallons. They seem to be retaining enough water, giving them their boogie brew tea every seven days and their pure protein with soluble seaweed every four days that’ll be the schedule till the end keep on pulling them down and stretching them out trying to get those branches to level out and grow more tops upwards. These plants this year are definitely larger than my previous ones, which surprised me I started these a little later, but they are much taller and growing much more vigorous than the last and the last were very large so high expectations for these week six everybody’s doing great. ..
