Doniawon, she is quickly becoming an impressive plant for sure. Im hoping ill be able to keep temps low enough in the next few weeks to bring out the colours in these girls. Its now into the 5th week and i think they will need at least two more weeks before they can come down, so they wont be done in the 6 weeks like WoS says, but as long as the stuff is good i wont care at all. Im very excited now though and from last night to today theyve become a lot more frosty :)

Waterdawg, thank you very much! im really happy with all these girls so far. The WR definitely looks like it can go longer! The leaves are very sativa like on them. My space does look on the sativa side cause the critical kush leaves are massive lol. they are bigger than my hands and each leaf is like two and a half fingers wide lol. I think im gonna pull some good weight this run, i should be able to keep a fair bit till the next run after this one. in fact, i still have a bit of the strawberry cough from my last go and its pretty ridiculous how much better it tastes and how it seems as though the potency is even higher. The smell truly is strawberries. I think i should do one fruity tasting strain for my next run.. any suggestions
Watcvh your harvest window on the quick ripening sativas like space. They go to shit kinda quick. 6 weeks I agree is too soon. But try a 7 week sample prolly b about right?. Gettin close!!

Hey Buster I sat down and did the math on the WR and it is 86 days old @ 12 from seed, lol. Fuck it I'm cutting her down lol. Started last night BTW!!! As for as tastey strain that has some kick, the Pato1 I just finished was very tastey and a real nice looking plant. It was probably one of my top 3 producers. I only grew 3 and got 8 mason jars full, sorry no weight, I forgot lol. Its new so not much out there about it. It'll be one I put outside!

Im hoping theyll be ready by week 7! Id really like to try these girls out cause they look and smell delicious!
Ill definitely be keeping a close eye on them lol, i check on them multiple times a day.

86 days is a long time.. almost want to wait till theyre fully done if theyve been going that long. Im sure theyre going to be good though and you most likely wont be disappointed if you take em out now.
im definitely going to look into the Pato :). What did it taste like and how long did you let her go for.
 
Looks great. Do you look at trichomes for harvest? I use a 30x jewelers Eye Loupe and harvest at 25% to 50% amber trichomes. But I only micro grow so my plants are a lot smaller so less plant to look at :)

Nice job!

Yeah i look at the trichomes :). I usually like to go about 20% amber ad i use a 60x loupe. I usually scan over a few different buds on each plant before i make my decision, i always second guess myself though and put those "what if" thoughts in my head ;p
Thank you very much for stoppin by, hope you enjoy the pics! Ill be posting pics at least 1-2 a week as now the differences are quite noticeable day to day. Even just from yesterdays pics till todays, the Space looks a lot better :)
They got some nutes and bud weight last evening and will likely want water again tomorrow! I usually feed every other watering but i think im going to have to cut out the feed for one of the space girls soon as id like to flush one and not the other so i can see if there really is any differences. Ive seen already a huge difference in curing for a few months as the strawberry cough from last run is so much better than the first week of curing.. it really seems like different smoke!
As each day passes with this grow, i get much more excited till harvest.. then i remember what a pain in the butt it is to trim and dry lol. Im 4 days from week 6 so im thinking a few more weeks left and thats it for these ladies. I have some clones of the lemon smelling pheno from the critical kush. I wish id have cut some clones off of the pheno thats got the big, thick buds but i only cut these clones because the branches werent going to be getting much light anyways. Theyve rooted long ago but ive yet to put them into soil yet :s. I cut them just a bit before week 2 of flower so i think it took them a bit longer to root(just short of two weeks), now theyre fully rooted and need soil which ill be doing this weekend :)
Ill be tossing those bad ass clones outdoors after i veg them a bit, however they might get more indoor veg than expected as its been snowing here this last week.. wtf!

Those buds are coming along nicely Buster. Looks like the're starting to ripen up!!! So the're still putting on weight? I have noticed with my setup the girls stop drinking and kinda stop growing, even if the trichomes are still semi cloudy I will pull them at that point just to make room. May 28th is typically the time to plant outdoors, the Queens birthday BTW lol. It has been getting warmer earlier but I still planned for that date. The pato has a fruity tropical flavour and it took right around 9 weeks from seed at 12. I have only cut one of the ww, the others are still going :(. I dont know man, my WR looked like yours about 10 weeks ago lol and still goin, nice thing is the fan leaves are falling off, less to cut. If you cuttings aren't in soil where are they?

Thank you! i Was just thinking that the other n ight actually, it does look like theyre going to start to show signs that the end is coming lol.
Ltaely the weight has only been noticeable in the density, the buds themselves dont appear to be growing larger but much thicker.. some of them are absolutely solid rocks.
Are you still adding the t5 to your flower room? im really surprised in how much that slowed my girls down.. The first two weeks the space looked like they needed a new home.. in the garbage lol. soon as i got rid of the t5 the exploded and i really think that if i didnt add it in there theyd have been done now, the space at least.
Ive actually always used may24 weekend as my guide, but ive put girls out before that and they were ok. this year i would not try it though. did you just this bs storm too?
I think im gonna have a toss up between that pato and kushberry(blueberry x og kush). ive read some good things on the kushberry but have yet to read very many different threads on it so i dont want to jump the gun.
I know what you mean about the fan leaves coming off, with my nutes the feeding schedule i have pretty much takes out all the N by now so ive got a few yellowing leaves on the girls and a few that have dropped already. not worried about it at all though. I was checking things out last night.. apparently the first signs of sex were a week earlier then id been counting(for a few of the plants anyways). I think ill leave the day count as it was because though they showed sex earlier then i said, they didnt do much and not all of them had matured by then. Either way it is just a guideline as id pluck em at week 5 if they were ready.
my clones were in a coffee mug full of water lol.. for a few weeks! theyve got some bad ass roots though and they had a harder time rooting im sure since they had little buds on em already lol. the critical kush is an easy cloner so pick your fav of em :) i really cant wait to try this lemony pheno, she seems more ripe than others, has tight and thick buds but not the biggest of the critical kush. ive yet to have a bad pheno from the CK, knock on wood, as these ones are done yet.

Tomorrow is week 6 :)
The ladies are looking very impressive, the space has come a long way but the one that really gets me excited now is the lemon pheno critical kush, the smell is definitely one of the better smells ive smelled and if the taste is as good then ill be happy, even if it isnt the strongest pheno of them. Ill post some pictures tomorrow on week 6 to show off the ladies and see what you all think :)

Well my new phones camera sucks and its pretty difficult to take a good pic cause if your hands move a tenth of an inch, the pics come out blurry.. anyways heres two pics, theyre looking like they are getting close to flush time :)

I cant remember which phenos those are from but i know its from the critical kush :)
Some of the space buds are looking close to ripe as well, gonna have to check out the trichomes and judge when to flush one of them. Im hoping maybe another 14 days which would bring it to 56 days and that would mean i can feed once more before i flush but it will be a 3/4 strength dose cause last time was more then the heaviest recommended dose and they showed the absolute tiniest bit of burn on the tips so 3/4 before flush should be good enough and safer.

I cant believe how nice they look. I just tried to post a couple of pics. I just moved them under the big light last night. Its an amazing plant as I have stems coming out everywhere. I jumped up the nutes as well yesterday, not on purpose mind you. I was stoned lol. I am now running 675 TDS so 1.35 ec. they are starting to stretch a bit now. The WR is down and hanging woo hoo that was a long one!!!! It is fucking incredable! I actually do not snoke it much as I find it to speedy if you know what I mean.

Thank you very much! Im so happy with these girls so far :) I havent ran into any major issues so far, very few minor issues that had more to do with the carbon filter than the girls but all in all, very good so far so im expecting a good reward lol.
Seeing how good these critical kush girls are right now makes me really hope the space isnt a let down! i hope both of them are top notch.
I am glad your enjoying these girls so far! I cant wait till you see them in flower when they get even better lol. I have never noticed them smelling this much before though, if i run my fan at less then 30% during lights out i can smell them very clearly.
I know what you mean about the speedy feeling, its nice once in a while but i really enjoy the couch lock, ass kicking, tv weed. The first few times i smoked the critical kush i was beyond done in. I had a cigarette in my hand for close to an hour cause i just didnt want to move. Im smoking some blue cheese my buddy did and its got both effects. your body is relaxed but your mind is buzzing, very nice smoke. it is very smooth smoke and it has a fruity taste with a very subtle hint of cheese to it. the smell is all blueberry up close / in the jar(i throw anything i have into jars, even if its someone elses work), but if you have it out in the open it smells like skunk.. really hard to explain this baked so i hope you get what im trying to say lol

image002.jpg The girls are 29 days old! I'm thinking they like nutes to be on the high end, running higher than any other grow @ 1.4 ec, I'm typically around the 1.2 range. Thanks again for the suggestion. Its my last tray so it better be "big" lol.

Those are looking beautiful! keep up the good work man, those girls are gonna reward you big time! The critical kush i have like strong nutes too and really dont seem to burn bad even if you do over feed. The really nice thing about these plants is that when they stretch, it just gives the bud more room to fill in lol. I cant wait to see those ladies flowering, definitely keep posting pics as you go :)

You gonna get any new genetics on the attitude sale? im looking at a few for the pick n mix now, ive got to many options and most of them have fruity genetics except for one or two. Not sure if anyone knows of the strain called edelweiss, but it comes highly recommended from a buddy who loved it when he tried it in amsterdam so it might be a good one to try. Ive also got God bud from bc bud depot, sky walker kush from reserva privada, sweet deep grapefruit from dinafem, blue og and blueberry gum from g13 labs and for now thats all i have on my want list but i dont think i should order all of those or ill end up getting another tent just so i can do all of them lol

Thanks for sharing OP. My critical was the branchy one, bushy even. Small dense nugs. Did not have the OG smell. Was just one freebie, worth a shot.

That branchy pheno does put out some dense buds! the top cola is pretty good in size but its like a red bull can in girth, dense as hell too :)
I think my favourite pheno is the lemon smelling one and ive read good things about this pheno so im looking forward to her very much.
The last run with this it had a very dominant og taste but it would start with a slightly fruity taste on the initial toke.
Another two weeks and im thinking itll be chop time! :)
