Second Grow: Fruit auto and Critical + auto lots of pic updated weekly

so i got these as freebies from the attitude and started them first cause they're supposed to to finish in 65 days tops. so i got them in this "Just Right" cocoa soiless stuff that GH makes. i love this stuff cause the ph is so easy to manage. for nutes im using all GH as well: flora nova grow/bloom with floralicious plus and fruitfusion (sugar). for now im growing under a 96w t5. i started with all 6500k bulb then gradually put in 2700k bulbs to where now i only have 1 6500k in. this only temporary i get my 400w tent set up this week to finish them off. i'm open to comments/concerns

i got those freebies from attitude. got my fruit auto on the go jus now, just day 6 for me tho

it grows very short and bushy, and super easy, but the critical + is a bitch. its very stretchy even with proper lighting and not very tolerant of too many nutes. i got more pics coming on sunday

I've got a critical + auto in a bubbler and ever since its been about ten inches tall its had leaf fringe on the upper nodes and it's crazy sensitive to nutes. Very leggy and stretchy but relatively short considering its about 2.5' at 5 weeks. Super hairy and smelly to the touch. Rub the stem between your thumb and index and you smell a perfect sample of what's to come. next time I'm throwin it in soil, critical is just too sensitive to nutes and I work way too much to babysit such a specimen. Here are some of the latest pics. I am wondering what to use in order to remove the build up on the roots though... Any suggestions???

So after the first feeding when i burned the hell out of it i went to a 1/4 strength nutes for two waterings then one just water and now she is on half strength and no more burning at all. so i recommend just flushing with plain water every once and a while. i hope you were asking for when you do soil cause i've never done hydro before so i wouldn't know how to help you there

here are the week 5 pics i added a few cfls to the critical + cause its too tall for its own good. all in all im very happy with the fruit it looks so delicious i can't wait. about 3 more weeks for that though...

well i got them as freebies but they are 12 per seed for the fruit and 14 per seed for the critical at attitude. the more you buy per pack the cheaper they get

the fruit auto is super easy but the critical + is kinda tall and is a light feeder. so if space is an issue be aware of that and i would also only grow one strain at a time because of how short the fruit is. otherwise you're gonna have tilt your lights to accommodate both, which can be a pain in the ass i've found.

here are my babies, the fruit is at day 44 and the critical is now at day 42
