Critical Mass CBD Auto #1

Aeromatics Let’s try this again, shall we? With my recent failure on White Widow CBD Auto, I decided to move switch to Critical Mass CBD Auto, also from ILGM. Critical Mass CBD Auto was my highest yielding auto thus far (7 oz in 6.9 gallons), so I figured it would be a great, robust genetic to run as a 2-plant grow in my 2 x 4. My goals are the same as my White Widow grow, keep it simple with a nice CBD grow. I’ll grow 20/4 for these to avoid light stress signals that may have pushed my last Critical Mass Auto to throw some pollen towards the end of the grow. Additionally, I will transplant these from their .5 gallon pots into their final 3.9 gallon homes around day 10 or 14, depending on their size. For training, these gals are aggressive stretchers, so I will slowly guide them into individual canopies, and I will do my best to get some solid tops across the board. For this grow journaling process, I will run 2 separate diaries. I like running a diary for each individual strain as well, especially for contests and to feature characteristics of each individual plant, as phenotypes may vary. The diary comments will be labeled as in two separate parts: Individual Updates (Critical Mass CHB Auto #1, #2) and then Tent-Wide Updates. Coco Planting Process: For my coco, I was very pleased to have a much easier preparation process than my previous runs. Canna Professional Plus comes pre-washed and buffered, so I didn’t need to do a big rinse and buffer process for this round, which was very nice. I mixed a ratio of 80/20 Canna Professional Plus with Harvest Hero Perlite and tossed it all together so it was fully integrated into one beautiful medium. I will say, the Canna Coco was absolutely beautiful… huge upgrade!! To prepare the mixed medium for potting, I added around 500 ml of RO water and Ventana Plant Science solution to moisten up the coco a bit, but not overload or soak it too much. I wanted the coco to hold it’s shape but not let water drip when squeezed. When it felt ready, I potted up my half liter pots, and I got ready to plant my Clementine Slush Seeds in Organiplugs! I planted the seeded Organiplugs directly into the prepared Coco and put them into the prepared tent with a half-bottle humidity dome, with the goal of limiting any exposure of the taproot to open oxygen/air. My idea behind this new method is to prevent any possible oxidation of the root, and allow the taproot to hit its growing environment as soon as it emerges from the Organiplug. Plus, I get to sprinkle Xtreme Mykos in each planting hole before I put the Organiplugs into the coco, allowing for that extra root growth. I will plan on transferring these into their final homes around day 10/12, depending on size and top root development! Let’s hope for some monsters, and thanks for tuning in!
