New Grower Critical+ Auto rated (420)

Here with a quick pic update she is doing good but she is starting to curve so I centered light and dropped it down a bit also gave her a light water since I'm using a 7 gallon smart pot can't tell how far the roots are down so I don't know how much or how fast she is eating so I watered around the coco plug with about 2-3 oz of 6.5 phd water

MMMM I do love me some pics! At this stage her roots are tiny, and she is barley using any water. A good rule of thumb in nature (but not always accurate) is the bottom of the plant (roots) will be about the same mass as the top. Some of my small plants in 5 gallons of soil can go almost a week w/o watering them. Although I have a flowering girl in the same pot that needs water daily. Once you are familiar with how the plant drinks, or how the soil retains the water, it will all just be second nature.

As @Discretepete2676 said, I'm glad to be of help. (gonna add @sanguine to this too) We didn't just wake up 1 day and go, "Huzza! I can grow good herb!" It was by the help of others lending their experiences to an inspiring newbie. One day, and sooner than you may think, you will be reading along, see a question, and have the answer for that inspiring newbie too. Till later, take care bud. :smoking:
 
Good luck on the grow bro! I think youre gonna love the smoke on the critical+ grew it a while back she was one of my tallest girls to date. I think she grew around 40 inches. The node spacing was ridiculous i think like 4" apart. But still all in all the nugs were solid and the smoke was bombay.. the 2.0 version on my list that one is legit too Ive seen.
 
Your girl is looking good SureSmokeAlot! Now its time to let her settle in and do her thing. Your new leaves look good and are no longer yellowing.

Here's my Critical at day 10. I have been watering about half a liter every other day. I'm using straight store bought RO filtered water (ph 6.5). I use this water throughout the whole grow until I start flushing. Been adding CANNA Rhizotonic and just started diluted (30%) CANNA Canazym.

I had a real problem with heat recently. My room and tent were getting up to 33-34 degrees Celsius (91-93F). This had a real impact on the young plants. My Spanish D did not like the heat at all, you can see her mutated curled leaves in the attached photo. I was running 3 fans and still I couldn't get the temp down. It was still 30 degrees at night. So I sprung for a second hand portable heat pump. Its a beast and dam heavy, but once hooked up brought my temps down right away. I now have it controlled to 26-28. My misses of course hates me accumulating new expensive sound making machinery haha, but this should really sort out all my temp issues, as its an AC heater and dehumidifier all in one. I had problems on my first run with cold last winter. Anyway overnight i saw an improvement in the plants, they started to grow again and their leaves straightened out. Its seems pimiping out your grow area never ends haha
