First Grow - Critical Kush Soil

[potzilla]

The veg plants have 4 CFL's and a 5000k led strip I rigged up.
This was strait shit luck on my part...
It went out 30 minutes before the flowering cycle came on and came back on today after today's cycle..
So it basically lost two days of light...
I'm expecting hermies at the least..
Just wondering if I should just cull them and forget...?

Would be a shitty end to this diary...

I would just grow it out and see don't hack it till you know

they'll be fine. when the power went out because of sandy I kept my plants on a windowsill and put them back on their schedule a week later.

 

[potzilla]

Ok , so maybe theirs hope..
That's what I did
It's been upper 60s here so I've just kept them on the deck for their regular scedual the last day.
Just stuck in darkness the first day because of lower temps.

Fingers crossed no herm...

Has anyone here used or heard good things about botincare pure blend gro?
BOG recommended it to me..

Haven't heard a lot of people talking about it.
Seems pretty simple , just a grow and bloom..

 

[b.real]

I use a 2-3-2 fish fertilizer that works for veg and bloom. it stinks (literally), but it's great.

the pure blend products are the same exact things (ingredients), just in different ratios to make you spend more $.

it's good stuff:

I've heard there's no need for flush if using pro blend?
That you can use it strait up until time for chop?

Can't remember who told me that or where I read it..

Thank you B !
Lost two of my sour strawberry seedlings.. They just weren't strong enough I assume.
So I popped two BOG sour lifesaver to replace them.
Can't wait!
I'm coming fully prepared this next run!
6 Mendo purps , 4 sour strawberrys , 2 sour lifesavers!
The S.S and S.L both have flowering times of 45-55 days.

Planning on trying to find one decent mother and just running 12 clones in flower..
I love hazes but good lord I can't do the 4-5 month flowering times!

 

[b.real]

I still flush even though I grow organically

good luck with the new babies.

 

[potzilla]

Good to know and thank you!

Ever since the power went out the ghost train is droopy..
It won't seem to perk back up.
Usually a good watering fixes her when she's droopy but this time she's on a perma-droop

I don't know.. Fingers are crossed!
The 18th will be 30 days into flower for both gals.
Would hate to lose them this far along in the game!

 

[CronicHempHog]

crossing my fingers for ya Pz

 

[potzilla]

Thank you cron!!
Just got word my home state might finally pass medical.
Be nice to move back home lol

 

[potzilla]

Sorry for the leave in absence!
Just working my ass off...
I had one clone from the ghost train successfully make it to dirt!
And the ghost train is looking really good.
She's drinking like a pro every other day. Feeding her every other watering with fox farm cha Ching.

She's a monster coming in at 4' 1"

The critical is pitiful IMO
Didn't stretch at all so it almost has kept a low rider stature and isn't much to brag about.
I have 4 different strains vedging at the moment.
Mendo purp , god bud , gods blue cheese and gods green crack.
The sour strawberry and lifesaver all ended up dieing off for some reason...
Half the seeds wouldn't germ and the other half died that did germ.
They were germed right next to the Mendos and the Mendos are thriving and healthy... Dunno!

But hope everyone is doing great!
Stay up and green!

 

[b.real]

damn that thing is huge! critical is known for its big buds so hopefully it'll yield close to your stretchy phenos. are they all that nice?

 

[potzilla]

The only critical I have is short and fat.
It's plumping up but I doubt I get an oz off her.
But no the critical is no where near as nice as GTH

That's the ghost train in both pictures.
I took 4 clones off her but lacked the equipment to clone properly.
So I have one decent clone that took off fast once she hit dirt.
I'm hoping to mother her or re-veg the one in the picture to take cuttings off.

Ghost train is hells angel OG X nevills haze
I am SO impressed with the hells angel I begged karma for his hells angel back cross and he caved
And he also hooked me up with head banger and lucifer OG


So hopfully I don't lose this pheno but 75+ days is such a loooooong flowering time...

 

[potzilla]

I'll try and take a comparission shot once the lights flip on.
I'm 6' 7" tall and have pretty long hands and some of the fan leaves are larger that my hands.
The middle leaf drapes down my forearm.

Really impressed with this strain!!

 

[potzilla]

Also , has anyone ever had experience with ceramic metal hilide ?

I've been reading a lot of good things on them and was curious as to if they are as good as they say.

 

[potzilla]

Well it's been a bit since my last update.
And I've got quite a bit vedging!
I actually scored some grape stomper beans so I decided to pop them instead of what I was vedging
Gave up the gods to a buddy.

But the ghost is fattening up nicely and still looking healthy.
I'll take some nice pics when the lights pop on.
But in the mean time here's where the critical kush is at from barneys.
Not to happy with her because of size but she's turning out nice and frosty!

I'll post more tomorrow and get some nice shots of both.
Hope everyone is doing well

Looks like its Comin along
Have a great easter Pz

 

[potzilla]

Thank you cron!
Happy 420!!

Yeah it's coming right along.
I'm hoping this GTH goes a full 80 days because it's looking pretty whispy at the moment.
I'm feeding her heavy and she's not bulking at all

 

[CronicHempHog]

looks like you got a lot more time on it
