Critical Kush Grow Report

[PaganRich]

Greetings all
I don`t do very well with hazes or kushes but it`s getting better. I`ve found that 50% less feed (I just dilute it further than brew a separate milder tea) really helps with avoiding nute burn. Probably do 2 ordinary compost non feed teas to one feed per week as well for all my girls this coming autumn flowering to see how they respond as well as bud density, size, etc. Pic 1-Seed, Pic 2-Sprouted 48 hrs later. Potted in a 10l airpot today. Hopefully, should be above ground in another 2 days

I like kushy strains. Tuning in for the ride.

 

[PaganRich]

When I hit trouble-which I will-any input would really help with my learning mate. Would be appreciated Californiakid

 

[Californiakid]

I will gladly help any way I can mate.

But my method is for a lazy fool. I buy heavily amended soil(kindsoil), soak a seed, plant it, water when needed, then Fannys yer auntie.

And Bob`s your uncle

This lass has had a terrible time. I planted her in a 10l pot with soil/perlite. She didn`t surface and carefully got her out just as she started to look really ill. Put her in a compost cube in a pill pot to regulate the water. Then I noticed that part of the shell was stuck and she was too weak to push it off and open up. Removed that and after much TLC she turned the corner and seems brighter in herself. I have just planted her in a 10l airpot...

 

[PaganRich]

She is hanging in there, bless. It`s heatwave weather at the moment and daytime tent for her is around 28 C so growth is realistically slower but she`s doing alright. One tough little lass With that quote I`d have to say that figuratively, I`ve seen just as much snot of ignorance as well in my time

looking good pagan I will have to check my girls this morning I put them in dirt instead of root riots ,I'm a little worried now lol

 

[PaganRich]

oldjarhead100 When I first used root riot in the early days I really didn`t take to well to them, thought it was a bit of false economy but with the effect of saving this Kush I`m really seeing them as another important tool. Will use regularly from now on I`m thinking.

PaganRich, Mate, you are quite the plant Doctor, that was a nice save, good job.
I've grown a few kushes, over the years outside, but they never did as well as the Oaxacan landrace sativas, some of them got over 12 feet tall, plus it's killer smoke too.
I've had decent luck growing a couple of 3 Afghan Kush Ryder autos though indoors, that was some good smoke.
Later.

 

[PaganRich]

D.A.A.S.69 I`ve never had the balls to grow sats mate. Don`t have the space but something that big would be quite intimidating. I mean they can get so tall. Different skill set handling all those additional considerations. Take my hat off to you growing that which in this heatwave is a rather battered but sexy looking Panama...seriously, doing martial arts in the garden whilst looking like a cross between a Norse farmer and a bloke doing Lawn Bowling. And that`s before the swords or staffs come out.

 

[PaganRich]

She had some Evolution `Plant Magic` sprayed on her today as well as a non feed compost tea to really start getting those microbes working in that soil....

 

[SovietStoner]

I have some Critical Kush seeds. Saving for later.
I will keep an eye on your grow. Would love to see how the strain turns out.

 

[desertdan]

I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in that keeps my mind from wandering....

 

[PaganRich]

SovietStoner Nice menthol hit, not a massive smell with her and got a good reputation. Do like this strain. Think you will enjoy though particularly vulnerable to temp fluxuations. All the leaves went yellow due to the problems with night and day temps but she went to harvest as normal and produced some mighty fine smokes

 

[PaganRich]

That would certainly focus the mind a tad

 

[SovietStoner]

I use clay pots. They help a lot with the temp fluctuations.

 

[PaganRich]

Thanks SovietStoner That was a useful bit of info. Cheers mate

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

PaganRich, what's up mate ? I can tell you something else that gets the microbes and good bacteria working wonderful is a product called Recharge, you just pour 4-5ozs right around the stalk every couple of days, and it does wonders to your soil, even keeps the ph, in the proper zone, so your plants can drink all they want.
Later Mate.

I use age old organic nutrients and they have come out with a water soluble myrco (little microbes) I give it to the girls every 2 weeks
