Doing awesome mate but I am a camera down. I wish I had before and afters for the shooting powder. Take almost fully mature buds add shooting powder and boom brand new layer of bud growth, I have even delayed my crop by over a week because there is so much new growth.

And 100% you can see the difference visibly with shooting powder.

The critical mass are close to being cut down (hense why I cant afford a new camera) I am hoping to borrow one so you can see the results of the feeds.

For the shooting powder feeds I dropped my EC down to approximately 1 and then kept almost exactly to the schedule for everything else. They had 2 feeds at quarter strength, 2 at half strength and one at full strength. When they dry out next they are being flushed like crazy with drip clean.

Flushed a day then left to dry for 2-3 then cut down. I am also debating raising the temperature up to around 32 for the final 12 hour day. It seems to make resin production go into overdrive and really bring out the flavours.
-48.
Has anyone ever seen critical mass go purple ? I have some purpling on my leaves and edges of my buds. Not complaining like they look beautiful but I cant decide if its cold temps or an issue as I seem to be constantly suffering from purple stalks. Healthy plants but purple stalks. Now my mother which hasnt been fed in like 6-7 weeks if not more is finally all green with no purple stalks. Reckon its a problem with the soil being too hot ?

I have also moved some more plants into my tent, 3 northern lights, 5 critical mass, 2 pineapple chunk and 2 ak-48. They are in 20 litre air pots in a blend that consists of :
1 bag gold label custom mix (coco and clay pebble)
2.5 bags gold label special mix
1.5 bags bio bizz all mix
20% perlite.

We will see how they do but growth is excellent. I think lightening the mix with coco and clay did the trick for the purple stalks but we will see :)

I really hope I can get you some pics soon. The critical mass have to be some of the densest bud I have ever grown and in places its completely white with crystals.

The trichromes are currently about 50 milky white and 50 percent clear. They should be perfect within the 6 or so days I have left before I intend to cut. But realistically speaking I will only cut when they are ready. With all the new growth from the shooting powder its hard to tell, some of it is ready to cut and some of it is immature. I am hoping this will even out over the last few days but it is making me a little nervous for finishing times seeing all those white calaxyes come through.

Wish list !

More 20 litre air pots.
another 600 watter for inbetween the two lights.
A cut of something actually stinky to save me time and effort :P
A much bigger veg space
An LED or 250 halide for my veg chamber.

Pics coming again soon. I might see if I can get my GF's camera today and snap a few for you.

Kevin can you get me a contact for your GK organics rep ? I would love to try some of their products on my next run ?

I am really worried about the smell of the critical mass they dont stink like some other strains I have grown and this time round I am using far less organics. I think there is a correlation but I wont know if its going to be an issue until I grow a stinky strain with the house and garden to see if it stacks up against organics. Yield wise it appears to blow organics out the water.

I also forgot to mention how fucked up the pineapple chunk genetics are. Will have to show pics I have some very different plants coming out of the same lot of seeds.

Hey man I mentioned in your thread about bad shit happening. Well I have a garden again :)

Fuck yeah !

House and Garden Full line up, (soil A/B, multi enzyme, roots excel, bud xl, top booster and shooting powder)
Soil is a mix of all-mix and gold label special mix.

They have had 3 weeks in veg and have just gone onto flower (2 days ago). On the right at the back there are two high tension then in the middle two laughing buddha then at the front 2 high tension.

On the left are six critical mass :) My cash earner :)

I am sooo fucking happy to be doing this again it rocks.

I also have 77 cuts of critical mass and 2 from each of the seed plants (the buddha and the tension) stashed away and I am maintaining my nigh on 100 percent cutting success rate :)

so here are almost 100 cuttings :)

The ones in the propagator are High Tension and Laughing Buddha, two from each plant I have in flower to preserve the genetics.

I just spotted what may turn into a bit of powdery mildew on one of the cuttings. Bad times, I am gonna let them dry out a bit since I got them out of the prop and see how they do. Hopefully it will ease off.

I just have to pray I don't get the PM in my tent....

Just given my plants a treatment of HALO, used a satchet to 600 ml of water and sprayed the lot over them. Hopefully they will be nice and peaky tomorrow :)

Today I lost a plant......

It was lost to a large knife ! I killed it.... It was a boy.

But on the other hand it gave me a chance to see what good the Air pots have been doing for my roots. I must say it is fairly spectacular.

Anyway to be honest it was too branchy and it was taking up space my girls could have.

FYI it was from a pack of feminised seeds and it was one of my high tension.

Hi guys,

Just thought I would throw up some shots of my beauties almost 2 weeks in flower.

They are currently on about EC 1.5 ( just upped the buddha and the high tension) but I am going to up the critical mass to 1.6-1.7 for the next feed.

PH'ing around 6.2/6.3 and they are loving it.

I have been really stingy with the feeds for the buddha and the high tension as I didnt want to burn them but it looks like they are hungry so its time to up them :)

Any questions please ask away :)

1200 I think I will get over a gram per watt from the critical mass ( my cash crop ) and I will be happy to get an Oz each from the buddha and the high tension. Its for me personally to smoke so I really don't care how much so long as its amazing !

Yeah I let these ones get a little out of control, I had to strap my light straight on bars at the top of the tent because the hangars wouldnt go high enough lol.

Luckily the male I chopped was my tallest plant so I have a bit more breathing room now :)

I lost my last crop to some knob heads so hopefully I will be able to show you guys this one....
