New Grower Royal Queen Critical Auto & Philosopher's seeds Fraggle Skunk Auto 3

[bushdktr]

could you elaborate on your dying process you said that you were drying in a cardboard boxe

nice grow

Yeah, I dry in cardboard boxes, just place them there and leave it partially open to breathe a little bit, otherwise dig some holes in it just to allow some ventilation. I prefer to hanging them 'cause the flavor is much better. I usually turn them around after 2-3 days, and, depending on RH, I jar them after 6-7 days. I learnt here that the rule for drying time is your Rh plus 1 day (e.g. Your Rh is 60%, then it is 6 + 1 = 7 days)

Cheers!

Hi fellas, here's some update for my perpetual Critical + Fraggle Skunk grow Lol.

My first batch is in the jars...pretty happy, Critical was 49 g dry and Fraggle Skunk 33 g (the one that had its main stem snapped), curing and the test vape was awesone for both.

My new babies have started working out, so it's LST time!

Critical in day 30:

Hoping for the best with these lovely girls! Have a nice weekend guys!

Just 3 days and these girls are really stretching! Love the way my Critical has expanded and craves for the light:

Fraggle Skunk also seems to have liked the tucking and pulling down, currently in day 23:

Both from the top:

Wondering if I add epsom salts anytime or try only the compost tea (my own compost has a hell of a lot of egg shells, big family! Lol!), I usually prevent problems (a calmag def is always waiting around the corner haha).

Going smooothly..

Day 36 for Lady Critical (on the right, 28 L smartpot)...and Day 27 for Fraggle Skunk (left, much lower, in a 16 L smartpot), both have really opened up with the LST and are popping bud sites everywhere!

A close up of FS:

I like the structure those girls are building. Keep those potassium levels high, so many growers under estimate its importance.

Sorry to bug you guys...just need to show how my plants are doing, and they are really doing well!!

And a close up, see how she has exploded in secondary colas:

My second 135W UFO LED just arrived and is already hanging, so it's 2 LEDs from above and 2 CFLs for some side light:

Just in time for bloom season!
Critical Auto Day 42

Fraggle Skunk day 34

Fed some tea again, maan...they're starting to drink!

Day 48 for Critical:

And Day 39 for Fraggle Skunk:

LST has triggered a lot of side branching from both of these girls, FS being more bushy though. Still on compost tea, watering every other day, keeping it simple.

Both seen from above (tent is 1.60 x 0.60 x 1.40 m):

Critical Day 53

Tying some branches to improve light penetration, buds are beggining to fatten up, there's some decoloration in lower fan leaves, will keep track of that, maybe N def, maybe just the plant going through full bloom period.
Some shots of the buds:

Fraggle Skunk on Day 44, is really dense and vigorous, as you can see:

This lady also deserves a nice bud shot:

Have a lovely sunday,

Cheers

Critical day 60:

Fraggle Skunk Day 51:

Also fattening up buds, these are more hairy:

Growing organic, only on compost tea, brewing some right now, for tomorrow's feed.
