So after two weeks we finally have our internet connection back!!! Apologies for the lack in updates but we're now back on track!
Update:
Our Critical Auto is now 7 weeks old and still looking pretty good. I am a little concerned about the lack of stretching though. I noticed that in my last grow, the plant that had the best buds also didn't seem to stretch much, however the other two that didn't get as much light stretched all the way to almost touching the LED. I'm wondering if the LED is maybe too powerful and stopping them from stretching?
Each time I have had this size plant it ends up around 30 grams of dried bud, but the last plant that did have a big stretch managed 85 grams. Now the 30 gram plant had buds 10 times better than the 85 gram plant but I still thought it was quite a big difference and the only thing that was different about each plant was the first one had direct light where as the other did not until the last few weeks.
Any thoughts?
Also, I have noticed after taking some pictures that there is a couple of "rust" like spots on a couple of the older leaves. 98% of the plant looks nice, green and healthy but it does cause some concern to see rust.
After some googleing I found that a lot of people say it is usually to do with the environment but it is the same grow space I have used every time and not had this issue before. In fact every other time there was 2 or 3 plants squashed in, where as this time we only have 1.
On a side note, being this plant only has about 3 weeks left until it should be ready for harvest I am planning to germinate another two seeds and begin the next round. So keep an eye out for an update with a new journal link!
