Thanks. One is rather large. Its almost 10 inches wide and i buried alot of the stem. The other is half the size of its sister. The smaller also appears to be a indica pheno. Does anyone know the phenos that show up with this strain?

Does anyone know if critical rapido is from critical mass or critical kush?

Realized it was 9 days since i watered and pots were light. Roots are shooting out the bottom of my pots already.

Feed light nutes. 2.5ml aff fert, 2.5ml aff morbloom and half a tsp of espom salt.

Had days mixed up. Big girl is 14 days and lil girl is 12 days as of 12/16. Im a stoner but thats why i keep my own log on paper and notes.

Update:

Day 14 of the big sis and day 12 for the little one.

Scared to overwater or underwater. Trying to wait until bottom of pot is dry. What do you guys think?
Try to water it from the bottom, see what it takes up and then dump the remainder away. try to get used to picking up the container and feel the weight differences each day. I grew Rapido on a flood drain table, not sure what to say, the plant was a true early auto flower, potency was questionable. Due you want to breed it with something else to make an early harvest?

You shouldn't let it dry out that much. You want to maintain a nice level of moisture consistently. Your small root tips almost certainly die off letting them dry out that much which is bad for the plant. You are also killing off microlife feeding the plant if you are relying on nutrients in your mix.

Well the roots were at the bottom. And it got light. I watered and everything is good. Started lst and she is already responding.

As far as nutes go im using one line of organic Alaska fish fert and Alaska Morbloom. Only other additions are epsom salt and molasses.

Ppl say autos dont like nutes. I just feed at 2 weeks from sprout and so far so good. Gave veg and bloom nutes. Ppl are going to say why the bloom? Because it also grow good root mass. This will not start early flower. Autos are on a timer. @grooower says these flower early anyhow so. I breaking the in to take a good dosage.

Next feeding is going to look like this:

Per gallon

5ml fish fert (first real veg feed, this is 1/4 recommended dose)

2.5ml morbloom (that is 1/8 recommended dose, help root growth and will be available as soon as it hits flower)

I will be using both veg and bloom all of there life.

People think that as a plant matures leaves will die. I think it has to do with you taking N away. We will see. I want a nice healthy plant all the way thru.

days 28 and day 25

just some quick pics of preflowers.

feeding today. Don't know if I should move to bloom nutes yet. I heard to hold off until flowering. Don't really understand what defines flowering vs perflower. Any thoughts are appreciated.
I was wondering the same thing.
