just tap water this time no ro is used

didn't took pictures from start (duh) weekly updates coming from now on.
the 2 widows are at the left corner of the box there's some age difference of the plants coz of faulty seeds the 2 widows being the oldest by about a week from 5 critical followed by the rest a week again later.

drip feeding 3times a day for 20 minutes each time. later probably will do 4 times a day.

the oldest girls are around 21-26 days CCA I don't know exactly coz i had was a very difficult few weeks. around the start, also I'm lazy to do a proper journal that is why I'm started this one
started lst a few days maybe a week ago with the ww-s, now only the 3 smallest ones are untouched, very much looking for that even canopy level. temp is 26-30Celsius at the canopy being a very fokkin warm October in Europe, reaching 25degrees day time. humidity is around 60% using neptune hydroponics mist maker.

Nice

4 days later, welcome to the jungle.

Looking good bud. Lol wish our October was as warm as yours lol. Going down to -1 tomorrow

hey guys
the girls are around day 55, the widow started really late to bloom, so it will not keep the promised 78 days, a few of the later planted criticals are very fast though, I think they will finish as promised or earlier. even though that I lst'd them I experienced quit a stretch partly because of my lamp needed to be changed but I realized that a bit later. so I removed the legs of the dripping table and so i won about 20cm, my reflector is at the ceiling of the tent. ec around 2.1 3,5mlof coco a&b each, and they are getting the green sensation at 1ml/l.

oh what I was willing to do to have a bit colder weather. its lower now, though still reaching 17c today. its manageble now. but sill quiet warm being Nov 13

Careful what you wish for. We gpt over a foot of snow in the last week out of freaking no where lol. Also those are looking miiiighty fine there bud! I love the critical strains. High thc, citrus smell, big ass yields..whats not to like about critical lol. So auto widow had starting issues for flowering eh. Good to know. Ill keep that in mind. Got me an auto onyx going that looks like its lagging far behind as well. Probably in the same boat that way.

yeah, the critical is quite good, I like it very much, it's the third time I growing it. it always pulls the expected weight. and the plants are quite uniform. I have a spider mite infection, sadly, hope it won't go out of control. I had a neem treatment last saturday, I will repeat it this week. I hope I can get rid of them or at lest cut their numbers down significantly. I ran out of my stash today. so can't wait the first ones to finish. I'll think I will cut down the first one 10 days from now. BTW the widow is huge, think itt will be more than a 100gr from 1 plant in a 3l pot .

hey guys, so finished washing down and applying neem again to the plants, I found 3 plant that had quite an infestation with spider mites so I decided to wash them in the bath, i found a few webs around and a lot on the pots, after a thorough wash I applied 5ml/l cold pressed neem oil to the plant and removed all the visible webs that I could find. hope it will help, I'm so close to finish, don't want to cut them before time, but if I see signs of these fokkers getting their numbers up again I'll be forced to cut the affected plants. getting them in and out of the tent I managed to broke a branch of. now Im waiting for it to dry. looks good though I wanted to give a full week more to it... smoke report in a few days.
