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.😉👍

Day 42 - Ladies are growing great, some are growing a little faster than others but all in all very happy with this run so far! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!✌️🏼🌱 Day 43 - All of these ladies expect for 1 white widow & 1 orange sherbet keep having problems, yellowing leaves, rust spots, not sure if it’s me or what the issue is considering 2 of them are doing great😬😬 Day 44 - Watered the ladies today, going to give them some calmag next watering when my new PH meter gets here! Day 47 - Buds are starting to get much bigger on a few of the ladies & a lot more frosty!😍

soo one was way more photogenic than the other 😅 also I know I put a lot of videos but I'm obsessed with this strain ok? it's amazing and I'm proud of me😁😁 oh and how DOPE is the timelapse? 🤯🔥🔥🔥🔥

Week 2 of Veg... OK!! So she's not doing well and I'm scratching my head a little if I'm honest... Since I upgraded to the taller tent and the Telos 6 Pro Slimline all of the plants have been doing AMAZING apart from her! 🤦‍♂️ The growth on all the others is MASSIVELY accelerated While she just sits there moaning her bag off & I don't know why!?! 🤬 Now I know that they're not identical in terms of genetics as they are 3 different species of plant (Cannabis, Pear Drop Cherry Tomatoes & Sweet Peppers) however they are VERY similar & the other 6 have no signs of burning or stress from excess nutrients or any other environmental issues like temperature or humidity problems. It is Day 16 - 30/05/21 My temperatures and humidity have stayed SOLID for the last 6 hours while the lights were on, they are at 120cm height from my babies as recommended... Temps 24-26c Humidity 70-75% They have all had the exact same weak feeds just 2 small mixes from day 10 onwards, the only difference is I have ran roughly 1L of just pure PH'd water through the Cherry Gar-See-Ya seedling as she looks like she has been burnt to crap!!! The plan now is just to leave her alone and see what happens, Let her dry out a bit and then just a drink of water when she wants it... On a good note she is standing up on her own without support now so I'm hoping she can pull through and this will only knock me back a week or 2 which is fine now I have the extra height to play with 👍 Hopefully I'm doing the right thing by her but some helpful comments right now would be VERY welcomed as I'm still a noob and new to growing 🤓... ...Eager to learn though! 🤔 Potgoblin 🌱✌️

On to week 9, will be starting to flush this week I think🤔 , buds starting to get bigger and denser by the day now main cola on the gorilla glue especially dense! Both stinkin glad I got a decent carbon filter! Counting down the days now can’t wait! Happy growing!

Switched the autoflowers to another tent to give them 300 watts of led everything is growing fine

Going into 48hr darkness at day 60, plants are sticky asf very strong sweet smells looking fwd smoke testing all 3 phenos.

Well its was not the easiest cycle.I make some mistakes and cant deleaf plants as clean as i want cause scrog.so thats not the highiest result for this strain.

Quasi ci siamo al raccolto 🍬

5000 ml jeden 3 Tag in der neunzehnten Woche pH-Wert: 6,2 EC-Wert: 1,1 mS/cm Temperatur: 20ºC Luftfeuchtigkeit: 65% Schädlingsbekämpfung: Diese Woche haben wir ihr Wasser mit Nematoden gegeben da sich doch vermehrt Trauermücken im Bereich aufhalten. Düngemittel: Sie bekommen ab jetzt Brenneseljauche da sie im Outdoor Bereich ist. Besonderheiten: Wir mussten sie jetzt toppen da sie zu hoch wurde und das Dach berührte, es besteht die Gefahr von Schimmel oder das die Blätter Schlächter wachsen. -Tag 131 sie wächst immer noch weiter und wir schneiden sie immer noch weiter😫 -Tag 132 heute wurde sie nochmals gegossen.

Week 7. Seems to still be filling out. Dropped down to 20 on 4 off for light. The smell is very strong! Leaves still look bad.. onto week 8

Placed directly in soil of fabric pots and hose watered from our well. The water is mineral heavy and alkaline AF may be an issue later?

Week 5 pretty successful, nothing bad happened, had good growth considering the troubles I had the week before. Leaving town for 3 days so they will be on their own. Plan on watering right before I leave and right when I get back. Got my lights on timers now. Pulled the light up to 24 inch assuming/expecting the plants will grow a bit while I'm gone. Had a lil bit of yellowing at some of the tips of one of the plants as seen in pic above. Any ideas y? Also posted a video and just curious if the wind is too much..?

It was rough waiting and knowing that i did not defoliate and started seeing bud rot almost at the end. Ended up cleaning everything and throwing half a harvest away, BUT A GOOD WELL PAID LESSON.

June 28: rainiest June on record which means this backup seed (about 47 days old) is a bit behind due to weather. She’ll do fine.

Buds starting to link up nicely, no issues apart from ph seems to be creeping down in between feeds so dropped ec a touch and raised ph by a point.

Start of the journey for the Auto Gelato I am testing for Fast Buds Genetics 💪 .. I messed up and had my light timer turned off, so I ran 24 hours for the first week instead of 20-4, which I believe to be the culprit for the leggy seedling. That, or my light is not sufficient. It says it's 150 W on here, but I can assure you it is only 100 W out of the wall. I had the brightness down originally but brought it up to 85-90% to see if I can stop the stretch.

Die Woche ist wie immer normal verlaufen, auch sie ist schön am blühen :) Gute 5 cm gröser geworden << Bis nächste Woche 👍

Day 15 start of week 3 plant is still flying along but have started noticing a few deformities on the new growth sites. I don't know if it's anything to worry about but will ask the community anyway so see what is said by more experienced growers. Not long completed the first lot of LST. Happy with how that went and think pre bending the plant was a good idea to get it ready for the LST. Will do some more every 3 to 4 days depending on growth and try and get as many bud sites as possible exposed to the light. Day 16 was being paranoid about the deformities as they've grown out healthy. Did a little bit more LST by tucking a few of the larger fan leaves down to expose more growth sites. Overall still really happy with how its coming along. Day 17 noticed the skewers I was using for LST were slightly restricting the stem from growing so I have removed them and replaced them with skewers topped with soft adjustable hooks made from wire coating and twisted vaping wire. I have also done a little more LST to expose some growth sites that have got bigger overnight. Day 18 done quite a bit more LST today and pinned down a few more branches to expose new growth sites. Hopefully I haven't stressed her too much. Day 19 noticed a little bit of nitrogen burn on the tips of the new leaves. Will keep an eye on it and just feed water for now. Still looking good though. Day 20 shes looking a lot less stressed today and I haven't seen any new nitrogen burn on the new growth so maybe I just caught it in time. Gave her a little plain water and have tucked a few fan leaves but nothing major. Hopefully she will start to gain a little height now and I won't do any more LST until it is necessary. Day 21 have spoken with people far more knowledgeable than myself and will make some changes over the next week. Mainly lowering temperatures and humidity but also lifting the light a little as the leaf curl hasn't stopped. Its no where near as bad as it was. Anyway there's still plenty of new growth and she doesn't seem stunted at all even if she is stressed.
