Hello again, GrowDiaries family! 😎 We’ve officially entered Week 10 (4th week of flowering) and the Critical is truly showing her full potential. This week has been all about environmental management and keeping the plant’s metabolism at its peak despite the winter chill. 📏 Precision Measurements & Training -Height: Steady at 37 cm. Vertical growth has stopped as she focuses all her energy on flower production. -Canopy Management: The LST has done a great job. The canopy is perfectly flat, ensuring that every "pompom" gets the same light intensity. -Visual Check: I’ve taken the plant out of the tent for some photos under white light to show the real progress of the trichomes without the LED distortion. 🌡️ Environment & Climate Challenges -Temperature: We’ve faced some tricky nights at 12°C, reaching 27°C during the day. -The Strategy: To prevent the plant from stalling due to the cold nights, I’ve started watering with lukewarm water. This keeps the root zone active and ensures nutrients are still being absorbed effectively. -Humidity (RH): Stable at 40-45%, ideal for keeping the developing buds safe and dry. 💧 Watering & Organic Pest Control -Nutrient Strategy: Still going strong with the full Biobizz schedule (Bio-Grow 1ml, Bio-Bloom 2ml, and Top-Max 1ml) in 1L of water. She is responding beautifully with no signs of overfeeding. -The Cinnamon Trick: 🛡️ I noticed some fungus gnats last week, so I applied a generous layer of ground cinnamon on the soil surface. It’s an old-school, 100% organic remedy that acts as a natural fungicide. Result: The gnats are completely gone! 🌿 Flower & Resin Evolution -The sugar has arrived! ❄️ Resin is now heavily coating the sugar leaves and the buds are thickening up fast. The white pistils are abundant and healthy. The aroma is becoming much more complex and penetrating! Thanks for the comments and for following this grow! Happy growing to all.😉👍

Good week of growth. NeXT defoliation on the 11th. Will strip near 75% of the leaves. Can’t wait for the new growth! Going to start adding Bud Candy and Carboload on my next feedings.

Week 11👍🤙👍🌱 I can see the end. This Contest have been a eye opener!!

Day 29 they recover from topping and they are not stressed anymore. Will remove some yellow leaves. Day 32 performed the second topping today.

Day one of flower will start tonight 11/15/22 not really any growth for the small pot the beach ball was y’all responding well I guess it’s not as restricted as far as soil wise

We start week 3 of bloom!! Goofiez 2 amor compound genetics it’s the champions!!

Day 73, 25th of November 2020: Hi! Here we go atbthe beggining of the 4th week of flowering. She is beautiful check out the main stalk crazy haha.... I was hoping about red colour but not appeared yet. The bonsai version is nicely getting purple :) Not much to say anyways just need to wait :) Fertilization is still the same every second day with the rationand mixture above stated. The lamp is on 11.15 min and off 12.45 min. Last week was 15 min longer light cycle.... So every week 15 min shorter light cycle until the 5th week. So far -45 min. It switches on at 6 am and off at 17.15 pm.

Buds just keep getting bigger and bigger each day. Having problems replying to people I've confirmed my email 100x but still can't reply No it's not mites I've almost finished this grow I'm just slow on posting. Yes soil is miracle grow didn't realize it was a bad thing till 3/4 through veg

They're coming along really quickly they're on week 2, the custom strain I have in here I crossed the sherb tree from the plug with EL chapo and this plant looks amazing and smells like cherry refreshers platinum Z is also looking very nice with a lovely sweet watermelon with a hint of diesel and they really do stink even though they are weak 2 getting excited already haha, they all look very good so far,, I did have 25 but a few of them looked quite sick and a few abnormalities and they really didn't like the feed I was given them so the one's got eliminated and I am now left with 15 of the ones I like, this small room is just for my testers before putting them in main room, the LED that is running is lumatek zeus 600 pro, this is my first try with LEDs I've always been HPS but I'm definitely turning my head towards them as these ones are shooting up and look very healthy, once this run is done if I feel that it comes out better with LED I will swap out all 6 lights in the main room and replace them with 4 LEDs, I have some sherb tree x meringue from Dutch passion, running concurrent I will try and get another diary going with them they are awesome. Thanks 😊

This plant seems to have grown much denser and better than my first plant. I just got the ac infinity ventilation setup with controller 69 for my 2x2, still trying to learn, hopefully grow #3 goes even better. Stay tuned

hello growers" I started the 2nd week of flora by cleaning the reservoirs, adding a new nutrient solution and adding ADVANCED NUTRIENTS BIG BUD and making a big deloliation. 👊 For the beginning of the 2nd week of flora a LOLIPOP pruning was also done. ------- We completed another week, the buds are growing at an accelerated pace. Next week when I'm cleaning the reservoirs, I'll do a new defoliation on the girls. I'm running out of space in my tent they are growing absurdly. 👽

She was chopped on day 68. Smells so strong. Very potent bud and it was really dense as well. I'll upload bud pics soon. They've been curing for 2 weeks now. Beautiful bag appeal but I think I made some mistakes this grow and things will be different next time. The other phenotype was quite weird in terms of growth and bud structure so much so that they look like completely different plants.

Finally my weather is getting better! 🙌 and good day everyone! Both of my girls are maturing properly and I'm glad it wasn't extremely hot inside the tent, it'll help my babies to not stress too much. I also increased the amount of Silver PK 14/15 by another 0.5ml and the plants took it well! 😍 The plants (mostly Pistachio) is getting more yellow leaves (I'm constantly removing them) and that means my babies are getting close! 😃 So now I'm double checking the trichomes/pistils in my girls and thanks to that I can say the flowers in Pistachio are more developed than the ones in Matcha and I suppose that's because the lights are way too far from Matcha but I can try to fix that in the future. Anyway, see you all in my next update! 👋

Volviendo con mis pequeñas, debido a que el clima está muy cambiante en exterior comenzaron su proceso de prefloracion de forma anticipada, ideal para mi dado que por espacio quería plantas intermedias, así que se encuentran en horario 12/12 y con estimulación de floración 1 vez por semana con riegos controlados

Going so well! Gave her a heavy feed a few days ago and she loved it! Defoliated last night. Long overdue. Now more light and air getting through. The smell is literally like garbage. Hope that's a good thing. Can't wait for next week! Cheers!

Elas crescem tão rápido 😅 Ainda estão esticando um pouco mas somente os top buds. A da estufa pequena está aparentemente mais gorda e os pistilhos são maiores, já a que tá mais perto do zíper na estufa grande parece ter buds menores só que mais densos e mais bonitos, com muitos botões, já a que tá atrás dela parece ter buds mais alongados, bastantes pistilhos igual a outra só que muito mais alongados. A da estufa menor tá mostrando sinais de exceso de potasio, Acho que é isso por conta da cor das manchas nas folhas, acredito que seja da última rega que fiz pq eu coloquei bastante astro flower e o regulados de PH também é potasio, a última rega que fiz foi sem ferts e a próxima também, já consegui diminuir bastante a concentração de nitrogênio, acho que o verde já não está tão escuro e as pontas das folhas dobrando para cima de volta, acho que eu poderia ter colocado menos fertilizantes na última rega mas eu queria muito atingir os 1.000 ppm, as da estufa grande parecem estar gostando bastante da concentração e até agora não tem sinais claros de toxidade, somente a que tá sozinha tem manchas meio roxas em algumas folhas, fora algumas queimaduras amarelas por causa do nitrogênio que já resolvi. Eu acho que a diferença de tamanho nos buds é por causa da altura que o painel tava, então preferi sacrificar a temperatura e descer o painel até um palmo de altura e aumentar a potência, espero que valha a pena, acredito que o PPFD tá batendo 1.000 no ponto mais alto, o painel da estufa pequena sempre esteve baixo e na verdade eu tive que subir uns 8 cm mas o driver fica fora da estufa e por ser de apenas 65w ele não esquenta tanto assim, já o da estufa grande é um painel de 180w (funciona a aproximadamente 80% da potência pq é muito quente e gasta bastante energia 😭) que esquenta bastante e o driver fica dentro da estufa e faz ficar mais quentes ainda. Acho que o painel estar perto foi uma vantagem que a outra sempre teve mas não consigo saber pq ela tem tanto sinal de toxidade e as outras não, mesma água e quantidade de ferts, enfim, continuo aprendendo bastante com essa safra e planejando melhor o que farei nas próximas, ter 3 plantas da mesma genética e todas serem diferentes uma da outra é muito bonito, não somente a diferença aparente como também a diferença de necesidades. 💚🌱

The Royal Cheese Automatic stop growing the branches on top only the two lowest branches grow even further... So I bend her down so that the low branches can get the new tops... Hope this will work. All the other plants doing good and growing along nicely!

drying conditions are 18C° and 55% RH

Esta planta estuvo dos semanas en etapa de enraizamiento, tres en crecimiento y ocho semanas en floración. No tuvo ningún problema con nada, me resultó de fácil cultivo. En esta cosecha obtuve ciento cuarenta y siete g en total. Utilice una maceta Root House de 10L. El sustracto que utilice fue de Nube Verde, en su composición se incluye turba de categoría, perlita, humus, compost, tierra, dolomita y vermiculita. Sin duda volvería a probar esta genética otra vez, supero mis expectativas.
