Dinafem Critical + & Cheese 600w

Rustafa · Oct 26, 2012

Ok so i've started my journal fairly late. None the less i will begin posting throughout the remainder of the grow (i mean really who gives a squat during the veg cycle). After my tent collapsing and killing 2 plants and possibly topping/Fimming some others here we go. 3x3 tent with 600w HPS two critical +'s vegged roughly 30 days plus or minus and one cheese vegged for like 2-3 weeks both from seed. Now they are roughly 2-3 weeks in from 12/12 flip. I would think they should be a little more frosty by now but i guess not. Your thoughts and suggestions are welcome.

Nutes: Botanicare (pro bloom) (sweet) (i also have liquid karma just not using it and calmag but the leaves seem fine for now)

Feeding cycle: Feed (with only half strength of probloom), Feed (sweet), Pure water. So its basically feed, water, water.

For anyone that uses botanicare i would love to hear your input on how much and often you use your nutes.

So i know you guys are so anxious to take a peek at whats going on since last time because so many people posted on this thread lol. I think i got about 2 more weeks for the critical to be completed and the cheese still seems very young. The cheese also took a long time to commence flowering but the smell of it is as other people say cheesy (very different). The critical just smells like a very strong fruity with skunk undertone. Let me know what you think. I am going to have to place some supports for the main colas as i think they are getting way to heavy man and they are begining to bend from weight. Temps here have also been getting real low but the plants are handling it quite well. I think i plan on flushing the criticals this weekend and give them a nice 2 weeks to clean up. What do you think? Then hang as a whole and wait for it to dry that way. Every time i cut colas and all branches and trim then dry they always dry to fast and then the bud tastes horrible. OH btw did i mention this shit fu***** stinks. Half my house smells like trees and i have a carbon filter to top it off. The filter is near 1 year old but still DAMMMM!!!

I just finished a c+ i got 191 grams from it. It got huge. And overall smoke wise i give it a 5.5/10 the buds were nice n dense. Great skunky, fruity smell. Ok taste, decent high. But only lasted like an.hour. Could be a lil stronger thc% wise. And urs looks alot like my.pheno. My was done in 52 days of flower. And it was like 85% cloudy 10% amber, and 5% clear. Good luck with ur harvest. And your dry n.cure. Stay Green & Stay High

What size light were you using. Do you have a journal or some more specs I would be awfully interested.

No i didnt do a journal for it. But if you look up in the journal section.under dont have time for a journal. All skill level post here. I posted sum pics in that thread. And i use above the plant a 1000w hps and two 400w hps hanging vertically shinning sideways for side lighting. So 1800watts one plant. But i change the side lighting to 320w mh for first two weeks to help with stretch. And then for the last two weeks to help with resin production. It seems to make a difference. It did with my pineapple express. A big difference on how frosty they were. One i didnt use mh bulbs in flower and it was pretty good. And then another clone from same mother i used all mh top n sides for first n last two weeks. And it had twice the trichs. I used general hydroponics nutes in ffof soil 40% perlite. Ina 2 1/2g bucket. With holes drilled all over it. Then wrapped in panty hose. So dirt dont fall out holes. Works just as good as my 5 gallon smart pots. Good luck Stay Green & Stay High

Ok so for all the one person who is interested in this journal lol. Today i performed the final flush and plan on harvesting my Critical +'s two weeks from today. Ladies are looking awfully nice and smell of sweet aroma. Your thoughts and comments are appreciated....

Ladies are turning a bit purple due to low temps. I mean i don't mind ;-)
