Thanks Fran,yea I'll be phasing them out for main lighting but will continue to use them for side lighting for the near future.
First time using a net with critical kush, I usually just mainline. I've scrogged before but it can be a pain in a small tent or cabinet.
WTF...........I know some critical x go fast,but under 50 days is insane.......If the smoke is top-notch, you may have found a keeper with that turn around, ...........how she yield????
Unless I wrote the wrong date down,but I don't think I did. I think my best yield was around 6.5 oz's with less than 60 days veg and over .9 grams per watt,it's here in the thread somewhere. As far as smoke goes,it's stronger than I usually like to smoke but it's my most popular strain in my circle. Here's another critical kush that's getting close at day 40.
I'm a little worried about supporting her,I'll have to put at least one more layer of net because she get's so heavy. As you can see in this pic at day 40 ,when I mainline I have her inside a cage and also add bamboo to support her. I usually have to start supporting her at 4 weeks and it doesn't take long before I have to support every branch,it's a nice problem to have tho. This should be interesting.
Its def a nice problem to have lol, I love walking into to my room with buds flopping over, means they got some weight!!! Unless you a have strain that has really strong branches as some do...... but even those cave at some point
I think with this one it's just genetics,very skinny branches. I have lots of minerals and silica in my home made organic soil and have even tried adding Pro Tekt but they still can't take the weight. I gave my friend a cut that he grows under HPS but his flowers aren't as large or dense. He also use a basic soil and bottled nutes and the two plants don't even look like the same cut between his and mine when their done. Gotta love organics and full spectrum LED with all the extra bells and whistles.
I use silicic acid and it works very well, not sure how it compares to the red algae you speak of, but I'll look into it if its more cost effective
