Critical Mass Hybrid Fem - Royal Queen Seeds

Germination (Day 6 / 10)

Got airstone pump replaced on the weekend , then cleaned and calibrated the sensors last Sunday and started this grow.
Today I noticed a sprout so we’ve gotten 3 of 3 germinated using the soak seed in distilled water for 12hrs before starting grobo instructions for starting grow.
This is Critical Mass from Royal Queen Seeds. one of their Indoor Feminized Mixer pack seeds. The recipe i used is medical Mass by Royal Queen Seeds. details seem to match and am hoping feeding will be closer then just using a generic hybrid recipe.

I’ve moved the grobo downstairs… my new problem is each day i go down the wifi light is blinking and i have to reset power to for it to auto reconnect. never noticed this before …and nothing else in the house seems to have this issue, but since the wifi settings are hidden from us users I can’t really check them. The auto connect method really is not ideal. We need a setting page were we can edit the current ssid settings, set static IP , switch ssid’s etc…but i digress… :slight_smile:

Germination (Day 8 / 10)

couple more days and Lon is coming along, I can see that the tap root has broke thru the bottom of the coco pod as well.
I reset all the network equipment and connected to the extender ssid which seemed to be a stronger signal where grobo is located now and that seems to have fixed the disconnects… I suspect its the bedroom doors closing at night that was weakening the signal enough so it couldn’t hold a connection. I’ll keep and eye on it but good so far.

Early Vegetation (Day 5 / 14)

Lon’s looking good , roots are developing really nice. Leafs look like they’re doing well.
So far the move to the basement seems to be working out well for the temp being cooler downstairs I don’t have to have the air set so low on the main floor.

Late Vegetation (Day 10 / 14)

seemed to be time to top Lon , Last time I think i did it to early…so left for one more node …hope this works out…now to get Lon recover. Am noticing some brown spots on the lower leafs. I did note on Sunday that bottles 3 4 and 5 all went down after last drain and fill so hoping it works itself out I’m on third grow and not sure how soon till I have to replace ph probe but I’m sure its sooner then later. I’m gonna try re calibrating probe after two months before flowering and see if that helps… after last two grows the probe was looking pretty gunky when cleaning and setting up for next grow.

Lon after about 8hrs :slight_smile:

Looks very happy, perfect top cut. Are you planning to remove the damaged leaves that you mentioned?

sorry I have been really busy surprisingly and have neglected to keep this up to date

I topped two more times and left to recover… I might have let it stretch abit to far before flipping to flower but after the 3 toppings it seems like it needed enough time to develop even tho the plant overall was continuing to grow taller.

On day before transition a did a heavy large leave trim…but not as aggressively as last two grows… I still plan on doing heavy defoliation on week three of flowering (in grobo terms week 1 after 2 weeks of transition)

i’ve been trimming any extra side branches growing off the main branches. 3 of the first branches today i trimmed right off since they were half the height of the rest…it leaves nine main branches so should be fine anyways I’m hoping stopping the small side branches from developing will leave more energy for the main ones(last 2 grows those side branches don’t develop hardly anything )

Transition (Day 9 / 14)

ya Lon is stretching like a beast…which being a 60/40 indica dominate strain I wasn’t expecting this strain to stretch so much…looks like super cropping is in my future. It might be that this strain in grobo is best to just top once and flip sooner not sure. I trimmed off lowest level of leafs and growth and shimmy-ed the support up higher… couple good pics of topping you can see how long the nodes are between… more more sativa is vs the blueberry i did which was very tight node growth.

She looks great, incredibly even canopy. Perhaps this pheno just leans toward the sativa side of her genetics. Hope she stops for you soon!
