....could use a little guidance folks.....growing critical kush and am on my 17 day of flowering.....growing in pro-mix and using the lucas formula (flora nova bloom 8ml per gal for feeding......ppm is hanging around a 1,000 and ph is 6.2....using RO water...had a little cal/mag problem early on so I raised the ph from 5.8 to 6.2 and it solved the problem....plants are very green and healthy and bushy as well and using a 1000w hps.....the sites are all developing but I am noticing a light brown tinge to the white pistols at the flower sites...I've noticed this before on other strains as well.....is this anything to worry about...I was thinking possible deficiency.....any help would be appreciated..
 
Oh OK I got ya, I'm using happy frog potting soil FF trio and there in just three gallons, under 400 watt hps, I'm also doing a pinapple express and mk ultra but didn't post because the threads are all about critical..thanks so much for the info! Here's an update of the ck..first two and then pinapple express second two pics and last 3 are mk ultra..I only have a little space so opted for three gallons but next run is going in five and I think I'm gonna try scrog with my white widow and acapolco gold which I just started..how's urs looking bud?

Wow! Holy shit! I can only hope I cld even come close to getting my shit to look that nice! Def a good job bro.. So how long does it usually take this critical to flower? The seed bank says about 56 days just wondering if that's about right or not?

"Critical Kush is its pretty much odorless when growing" lol
I got 5 going right now and 14 clones and this shit is stinky as hell ! I have 4 big ass charcoal filters going 2 inside with the plants and 2 out in the next room, shit is filtered 2 x and that seems to tame the smell ..
I don't vent outside in the winter heat cost to damn much were I live..

Closer to 65. Pretty average flowers at the end. Nothing to write home about.

@golden Thanks man, yeah ck is a hybrid so certain phenos take a little longer, also breeders start counting flowering once they see bud development generally... so it varies from our 12/12 countdown by about a week or so sometimes.. I believe I cut my last one down at day 63... The anticipation starts to kill... Just chop down when your trichs are 60% cloudy 35-38 % clear..maybe some amber here and there... If you pull to early you sacrifice weight if you pull to late your potency starts to go down..

Hey so this plant its notoriously stinky...about how many days into flower should I fire up a carbon filter to prevent the neighborhood from reeking?

We can't go in there all straight-eyed...he'll know something's up.

Yea mine were vegging for a while so they already faintly smell, but not like a proper grow room yet lol. All of ur guys posts say its a heavy heavy smell. For a 9x 9 room full would one can filter do the job or should I get another?

Sorry to bug u again doc but when u flip do u increase ur lights. I'm running 2 1k hps lights right now and I'm having a hell of a time keeping the temps under 80. I own another ballast and light on that i have on reserve until I get my real grow spot. I can throw another light in there if need be, but I kno it'll be fucking damn near impossible to keep the temps under control. I'm pretty much growing in an insulated shed this run without AC, I just started flowering so if I can keep the temps under control until harvest I'll be happy. So after all my rambling, do u add more lights? Lol

Here's a, recent pic
