Sounds like you got the power to get the most out of the genetics. I've been eyeing critical kush for a while now. Throw some pics up or at least IM me when if u remember to let me know how it turned out. If it lives up to it's reputation you should be more than happy.
Good Luck!

For sure.. I think they got a little stretched tho cause it's my 1st grow in this room - still was figuring out the ventilation situation at first so they were far from the cfls for about 3 weeks and temps were still getting a little high - so I got a plan to fix that when I'm vegging next time - long story - lets just say it's not that easy to control temps when it's 95-100 outside and you want to bring fresh air into the room - lights out mid day would be a good starting point for that haha.. And a non malfunctioning in wall timer replaces a switch better than a malfunctioning one! Anyway.. The pics.. The bigger ones are the ck and the smaller are a friends GDP clones that were (2) unwanted and (1) to practice cloning on
oh yeah.. They are about 5 weeks and just flipped to 12/12 about 3 days ago.. And when I say they were far from the cfls I mean like about 12-24" but they did get a couple of weeks of like 3-8" from a light cluster like this one 
Will post more when they start looking tasty!

Man I'm dealing with the same kind of temps and high humidity, I have a old 5000 btu window unit, and a old heat making ass dehumidifier. I put the dehumidifier on a timer to only come on once a hour during lights on time, for 15 mins. Some times my room gets over 90°. But I made it through the summer with two harvests. I did insulate all around my room though. Summer is almost gone here hopefully its on its way out for u to. I run 1000 watts mh & hps.

On yeah.. Got my temps stable at about 71-75 daily now.. And outside temps have been about 5+ degrees cooler too. Wanting to do perpetual in the room I have - I have a cab for clones and another for bigger clones and moms but I have to tweak the ventilation on the cabs and not fucking with that anymore until I get at least one harvest cause they are in the flower room and I need a break from building

I was just growing dinafem Critical Kush and they got munched on the stems by rats and I wrapped em up and they were FINE and then 2 weeks into flower they went DROOPY then CRISPY then in 24HOURS were totally and utterly DEAD 
saddest thing I ever saw in my whole entire LIFE! BUT I did clone one of them so will be able to CHUFF that! But won't ever buy from CK from dinafem again everrrrr and any rats I see - are Toast!

You know that there are 300, 500, 800 watt CFL bulbs. might be worth a look (and take a regular light scocket)

Check out Breeders Boutique, I dont work for them or anything. I did order from them and everything I've gotten so far has been e-a-s-y to grow. Blows everything out of the water that I can get around here. They have the best prices and their freebies are great. I paid 80 bucks for twenty regular seeds and got 40 in the mail. The guys who run it are always on the riu and will answer any q's you may have. They don't have alot of selection but everything I grew out was good. I'm harvesting now, good timesI was just growing dinafem Critical Kush and they got munched on the stems by rats and I wrapped em up and they were FINE and then 2 weeks into flower they went DROOPY then CRISPY then in 24HOURS were totally and utterly DEAD
Never had any experiences with dinefem but barney's critical kush is supposed to be good. I like the way it looks. To die so fast is crazy, are you growing hydro?

Ouch!! Rats?? Did you plants get pleague? 
that sucks tho seriously and you would think the big name seed co's would not put oh garbage genetics that die and hermie.. Are u sure it was genetics that killed them and not like.. Pleague or some other temp/air/watering issue?

They were outside in the ground! It was really wierd - because they recovered from being chewed on! they were fine! then suddenly just after they started flowering they just droooped down really sad so I thought it was OVERwatering so I stopped watering coz I thought perhaps they had root rot somehow but then they just crisped up! I dug one up and snapped the stem.... but it was fine ... no signs of black or brown (which happens with root rot) and the ground wasn't overly wet... in 24 hours they were just all crispyyyyy... so it wasn't UNDERwatering or OVERwatering so it must have been the damage to the stems - once they flowered the damage was too extreme¿? too handle flowering¿? I've never seen anything like it! I googled all kinds of things and Overwatering came up and Nitrogen Toxicity! but had to cross everything off and left with Death.By.Rat.Damage! ¿? crazy!Check out Breeders Boutique, I dont work for them or anything.

Yeah that is crazy, if they lived that long after the initial chomping. They shoulda been fine. Outside there is all kinds of critters to worry about.

Thats what I thought! So far that has been my worst encounter! last year was caterpillers! but I used to grow indoor when I lived in town! and I must say there was always a INDOOR.BUG.OF.THE.YEAR too! You really do learn something NEW every single season! But the more you learn the better you get! hehehehe

I had a few leaf hoppers make in my room this last grow, being I vegged outside. Fing budworms got me good first time I ever grew outside. I'm new to the grow scene but I love growing my own bud, it is much more rewarding than I ever could have imagined. And it is a constant learning experience.
