DINAFEM critical+ and Fruity chronic juice.

Looking good man, will be following this one.

Hey folks.

Well I went today to water my plants.

EC in 1.2
pH 5.9


The larger FCJ EC out 1.2.
The CRITICAL+ EC out 1.2.
Small FCJ EC out 1.4.

Hi's and Lo's in temp and RH pics too.


Any questions just ask.

Hey folks.

So today I mixed up my nute mix in the following proportions.

5L
AQUA VEGA A and B 7ml of each.
Rhizotonic 10ml.
Cannazym 12.5ml
MONO Ca 3ml.

This took my EC up to 1.2.

Some more pics for you to.

Just as lights come on showing how green they are.

Some group shots.

My hand in shots for size reference.

Single blade pic. For those of you that haven't seen it before this is the start of calcium deficiency.

This is the reason for the extra Ca.


Enjoy.

Most informative. I particularly like the demo on Ca def. Thanks

Nice. I miss my critical+ lost it last year.

No worries.

Just thought it was quite fitting.

Like I say about coco, you should need to give Ca and Mg after around 3-4weeks of using it.

Also due to me using recirculating nutes (that I drain to waste) they don't have any elevated levels of Ca and Mg to help in coco.

Alot of people get confused between Ca def and Mg def.

I too am guilty of getting confused between the two. Lol.

I can't wait to try it.

Last February 2012 HOT FUZZ came along and took my setup along with my 5 CRITICAL+ beans.

I've been wanting to run it for a while.


J

I can't wait for my FCJ to get here so that I can run them. Ill be following this one to see how it is.

Transplanting the girls tomorrow into their final 11L pots.

Clearing out my shed today and I found a little clear plastic Baggie in one of the bags of junk I was sorting through.

Guess what I found in it????


One of my 5 CRITICAL+ seeds that I ordered last year. Lol.

I thought hot fuzz had taken them all. Lol.



Score!



J

Well I've been busy all day today and thought fuck it. Transplanting can wait until tomorrow.

Here are some pics.

If you see the 2 larger plants together, the left is FCJ and the right is critical+.

Critical+ is the bushier of the 2 with 3 nodes. The FCJ has a better shape and 2 nodes. lowest nodes on FCJ became clones.

I've also topped the smaller FCJ this evening above the 3rd node. Leaving the lowest 3 nodes on the plant. Just like the others.

I will decide before switching to 12/12 whether I cut the critical and smaller FCJ like I did to make the clones off the other to leave 2 nodes.

Still waiting for clones to root.

Current stats.

EC 1.1 going in
pH 5.8

5L
Aqua vega A and B 3ml of each
Rhizotonic 10ml
Cannazym 12.5ml
Canna mono Ca 5ml.

I've backed off A and B this time to make way for the Ca.

My mono Ca says to correct a deficiency use 1-2ml per litre.



Enjoy.


As always any questions just ask away.




J

Transplant time.

1hr 40mins to do 3 plants.


Pics of my 80/20 coco/perlite mix.

Filled 11L pot with back fill around a pot for the transplant hole.

Pics of all 3 together. Front is the smaller FCJ. Back left CRITICAL+. Back right larger FCJ.


Still no roots on the clones.



Enjoy.



J

Hey folks.

Checked my room today and plants have taken to the transplant as they normally do with ZERO stress.

Nice shot of them all.

Also 10days after taking some clones I have a pic of the CRITICAL+ top that I cut off and stuck in some coco with no rooting gel.

What do you know??? ROOTS. lol

As soon as all of them are rooted and hardened off they will be transplanted, allowed a few days to recoup and then everything is getting flowered.

I plan on using one of my 5L water bottles to mix nutes for the 4 clones.

While using my 18L for the 3 big girls.



Enjoy.

Hey folks.

So the FCJ top has rooted in the last24hours.

Pic below of the 2 small roots of the FCJ.

Also a pic of the new root growth on the critical+.


I will be watering the girls tomorrow. When I do I will be cutting back some growth on the larger FCJ and the critical+.

I estimate that I will be entering flowering in no longer than 10days.

The 4 clones once all are rooted will be transplanted into the green pots I had the originals in. These 4 will be single stem SOG style occupying the same floorspace one larger plant would have occupied.



Enjoy.



J

Here we go.

So I popped in to see my friend at his grow shop as I wasn't happy about the pot sizes I had for the clones.

So instead of using the green ones, I'm using these smaller square ones.


Both of the larger plants had a good thinning out in preparation for flowering.


Enjoy.

They look like they growing do fast I have put 3 of mine in 10ltr the day and gona tie down tomoz and get few pics on my thread

I couldn't agree more.

Within the next few days my bamboo canes will be making an appearance into the pots to LST the leaders to during flowering.


As soon as ALL the clones have enough roots they will be potted up into the square little pots.


When that happens my lighting is getting flipped to 12/12.


J

Hey folks.

I'm going to do this update in a couple of posts as I want to make sure you can see which pictures I'm writing about.




So here we are.

First picture is of the whole room together.

Then picture 2 is the critical+.

Picture 3 FCJ.

Next up is the smaller FCJ before I trimmed her up. Pic1.


Picture 2 is where I plan to trim off below.


Picture 3 is the plant trimmed off.
