They look happy and healthy,keep up the good work!
Cheers
. Really appreciate the feedback. I'm keeping a close eye on your journal. It's got me wanting to implement a bit of leaf tucking this round. 
Here are some photos of the Critcal+ Autos on Day 15. The size difference is significant, but both seem to be doing okay. Well to my noobish eyes anyway. lol. One was getting a bit of leaf curl (I'm struggling with humidity issues and an over-zealous fan lol.) I've taken steps to alleviate this where possible i.e repositioned the fan, but RH is a problem I cannot seem to improve! They've had a bit more bio-silicon (equivalent to 1/4 tsp/gal/3.8ltrs) and a little cal - mag (eqv 1/8 tsp/gal/3.8ltrs) last watering. I'll see how they go, and look towards starting them on a low dose of nutes at the weekend.

I'll update with some White Widow pics next time.
Thanks for looking!
Edit: It appears that I am a big fat liar! C+2 is on Day 14, not 15.

Hello,
You do look to have quite a bit of height variance, I personally think this is 2 different phenotypes of the Critical+. if I recall the photoperiod critical had 4 phenos and only 1 of those stayed short and squat but put out several huge sides and 1 big central cola. the other 3 phenos had more side branching and lower popcorn buds but more bigger tops as opposed to the 1 central cola. The heigh between the lower squat pheno and the tallest pheno was only 45cm when finishes. these are autos so I will be watching this with interest to see how things progress. I think the shorter pheno will have 4-6 side branches with 1 central cola and the taller pheno will have 8-10 larger side brances and 1 nice size centre cola
All the best

That's really good to know. I thought that I may be doing something wrong, but it makes sense that there would be some variation in phenotypes. It looks like I may have a couple of different phenos of the WWXXL going on too. I'll post up some pics of them together soon. I'm excited for the what the future may bring to the tent haha, really enjoying watching these ladies grow
.Thanks for your help

No problem what so ever
I am by no means a expert on autoflowering strains but know our photoperiod strains very well and would think this would transfer over to the auto,s well from my experience. Things look great to me All the best

Nice plants,it amazes me just how fast the auto's go. The first plant looks like it the bottom leaves were cupping just wondered if you had a heat issue,they all look terrific ,I guess I am just a weirdo when it comes to being anal about little things like that. Good luck on the grow.
Hey there
. They certainly get out of the gate fast, I'm forever amazed at how quickly they grow. I did start to get a bit of leaf cupping. My temps haven't been too bad, but the low humidity has been a real pain. My fan was blowing a bit too much air onto them as well, so I had to reposition it a bit. That, and starting to dry washing next to my tent seems to have rectified the issues somewhat. Lol. I'm the same to be honest. I like all the leaves to be flat and well formed, it makes me twitch a bit when leaves start to curl!
Thanks for stopping by, dude. Hope to see you drop in again

I think that is one of the things that make auto's cool and the fact they put out some killer weed if they are done right. I got 9 oz out of three GSC and that was after a cal mag problem due to over watering. They also ended up being 4ft in a 6 foot tent so I lost about a good week and that is critical for auto's so they can be quick and be very resistant.
I asked about the cupping because I had that too but real bad it happened to be that the lights were too close trying to control stretching. I find the fan placement at the early stages can be a pain,they get wind burnt,I always go at the lowest setting or go with the high setting and bounce it off the walls. Good idea with the washing machine,I went to Walmart and bought a Vicks vaporizer for 15.00 and it keeps the humidity at a good range. I just started a photo grow and the humidity was at 30 after the vaporizer it is at 58. My last grow made me tick because of the leaf damage but with this one the room for huge mistakes has been minimized by learning from past mistakes. I will drop in for sure,Peace bro
