My Critical love-affair, and other adventures.

All looking bang on here mate, the girls look more than happy with life

[Bud Wiser]

Bollocks.

First fuck-up of the season .. going back to the apical-dominance-shifting .. some plants really love it, others don't.

Last year, my Colorado Cookies didn't like it, but the Sunrise and Lime loved it.

I had a feeling the OG Kush auto would be similar to the cookies .. I think I was right ...

 

 

Still not pushing up those side branches. Bummer.

This is what also happens when you get it very wrong ...

 

 

Notice the main stem's snapped .. I had to release her from her bondage, she'll now put all her energy into fixing this, so I'm gonna lose some yield, plus I can't train her now.

This is a Seedstockers BCN XXL auto .. won't be XXL any more!

 

This is what happens when you get it very right! ....

 

 

Fucking typical, I was gonna do a C+2 auto in the growpit, would have got 7 ounces out of her easily, she's the perfect structure for this kind of training .. you can see the lower branching taking over.

I love this plant. Did I mention? She's at day 25 approx.

I've got an outdoor one in the ground too .. I'm giving her the same treatment, I'm hoping she delivers!

Sometimes testing goes right sometimes not

 

Don't let that get you down mate everything else looking in tip top shape 

 

You've got a nice selection outdoors so it's going to get crazy which I'm confident you'll handle easily

 

I've never used air-pots outdoors have you before my friend and what was you experience like?

 

Some very nice training which every strain will not respond to as you have found out

 

I'm going to be watching this one with great interest. 

 

So far I'm loving what I'm seeing

 

Keep up the great work and I'll drop back in on the next update 

 

All the best

So when people ask "what you growing in your greenhouse?" he can say "I've got this weird purple plant!" 

[flighty]

Ha ha ha I hope no one asks to see it 

[MacGanja]

Now that's a proper green house... Full of green... And a tiny bit of purple! Lovely looking plants congrats!

Dunno, a house plant .. taking a cutting for a friend in Devon. 

[Dinafem-Mark]

I think you've shown that air-pots and outdoors do fantastic 

 

You've got a busy season ahead my friend. All plants look nice and healthy. Plenty of selection which should keep you on your toes 

 

Looking good so far mate and thanks for the outdoor update 

 

All the best

Update time, more growth to show off!

 

Critical+ 2.0 Auto

 

Did I tell you I love this fucking plant? Well, I fucking love this plant!

 

Critical+ 2.0 auto at five weeks .. that's 5! with only 8-10 to go! ....

 

 

She's been flowering for about 4 or five days now, and she's the best of the eleven strains I have running at the moment. Boom.

Here's another killer queen ..

 

OG Kush Auto

 

 

Tallest of them all .. nearly at 4 ft in her pot.

Still hasn't started flowering yet .. ouch, could get tricky! 

 

Here's the second one .. she's in the growpit, was subjected to some bondage but didn't like it so I had to free her ...

 

 

She's been flowering for about a week, same as all the autos in the pit.

 

Now, I may have a problem, because my 2 Critical+ photoperiods are doing better than I could have hoped ...

 

 

I have these waiting for the greenhouse growpit to empty itself sometime around the end of July .. ha ha, fuck. Oops, might have been a bit early with these. 

 

 

[Bud Wiser]

Oops, I forgot the Critical+ 2.0 in the ground, outside, being battered by thunderstorms ...

 

 

Also flowering, but I think she'll take longer than her potted sister, somehow. 

[Dinafem-Mark]

Ah the plan now becomes clear 

 

You plan on harvesting the auto pit then replacing those plants with the 2 critical photoperiod strains 

 

This should work out well if you can hold the critical back for the next 6-7 weeks when the autos will be finished leaving the pit available 

 

Autos are budding up well, stretch should now be active and the end structure will be set within the next 7-10 days 

 

Looking good to me mate and as always thanks for the outdoor update 

 

All the best
