Thank you very much! You are surely going to love to CK! I just finished my last run and didnt pull and CK.. really miss it now! Got one in the garden, cloned her and gonna pollinate some branches later with some C99 BX1 pollen. I had one pheno from the CK that I would absolutely love to find again. Every pheno was above and beyond what I was expecting, but this one pheno was just fuckin violent. Frost covers the plant within the first 2 weeks and does not stop! Layers and layers form over everything.

IMA. 6 weeks is early for any strain. week 6-7-8 they start to fatten up and ripen. I ordered a Critical Kush but haven't started her yet. Doin Liberty haze and DP Blueberry first. FFOF Soil.

Yes in the 7th and 8th week they did put on a bit of weight. The 3 plants left in are still finishing off. The WR has about a week to go. The CK is a potent knockout smoke great for sleeping lol.

I ordered a 5pk. I had a good feeling about CK. This is my 2nd grow so I am trying to find a particular strain I like. So far Pineapple Express G13 is my favorite. I grw her last year along w/ white widow G13 and Jack ch9.

Waterdawg those are gorgeous pics! Well done, looks like you've got the strain dialed in to your system perfectly!
I'd agree, a lot of the CK phenos are potent KO smokes, had one that was less so which was the lemon pheno, nice smoke though. Also, I have not found a pheno that doesnt produce a good yield. They stretch a bit, not an unusual amount but they fill in very well.
 
Metal Halides SUCK. Don't waste your time or money. Use Hortilux HPS all the way through, and they'll veg about twice as fast as using MH. Top your CK's the next time. You can wait until they're about 10 inches tall and top them real deep so all the side branches 2 and 3 nodes down that are just little wisps will become colas. Top deep enough to get at least 8 colas to come up. Topping too soon just makes you have to wait to do it again anyway. If they still stretch, bend them down to keep your canopy as short as possible. Then light will cover more area, and you should get double or more yield. Usually it's better to just have one or two big plants in a tent so you can keep the canopy spread out and pushed down. Use a screen, or tie weights to the ends of the branches to pull them down. Then you'll get even more colas from the little branches growing off the sides and turning into colas. You can do this until the whole tent if filled with just one plant and probably get at least 1lb. Think shorter, more spread out, and take a little longer and your patience will be rewarded.

Sorry Critical I must have missed some thing, I could be wrong but I didnt see anyone using a MH. I use T5's and do top depending on how quick I need the run to be finished, typically fast! Flowering lights I use are 8 T5's and a 600w HPS. I grow in a 8x8 shed so room is still an issue but still lots of room and I will top the next run as I will have a bit more time now that the coffers are filled. The WR I grow is a real stretcher and it does not seem to like a deep top but once or twice seems OK. Here's a pick of the biggest bud still going on the WR, its kind of a mutant thing but the stock got split real bad when it was 2 weeks in flower. WR121213.jpg

That bud is definitely odd looking and the B&W shot looks really nice! How long into flower are they now? I decided the next run will be Sannies Herijuana IBL; put 3 seeds to germ a little while ago :)

Jeeze thats a normal one lol. There is one thats is totally fucked up! The bud was about 8" dia. And 16" long, biggest bud yet. But it is really airy, it was the one that got broke just before flower and i tied it up, ill see if i have a pic. Going to take a chance on the kosher, hoping their femmed! I may also start the blue elephant just because its bothering the hell out of me to see if its the real deal. I think it would be like a lottery win if it is lol.

Ok here's the wierd one :o WR121213.jpg It has 10 offshots from the second from botton nodes that have whispy buds as well. Should have cloned this one, I think the stress made it do this and left alone would have been a stellar plant.

Those were the same shots :P. I wasnt referring to the B&W one, sorry! It has so many buds growing from that bud it just looks crazy lol.
I hope the Kosher and Blue Elephant work out for you! It really would be like a win if its the real deal, would make that swamp run much more "worth" it for you! :)
The Herijuana IBL seeds I have are very immature looking, but apparently that is the way they look.. Even asked Sannie and that is what he told me. They are very odd looking seeds, tiny and does not inspire much hope they will germ as they look gray and crappy. Not much of a taproot comes out of them either and since the seeds are so tiny there is not much room to put them into the soil :s. This will be a challenge just to get them to turn into plants! lol :( I really hope they work out, but if not then fvck it.. I am gonna go back to the original plan and run the Metal Dragon.. gonna have to run some of the genetics my ex picked out at one point or another so might as well start next time I get the chance.

Btw, the Critical Kush pheno I have now seems to be another new one..? I will take some pics of her later and see if you recognize it; I don't think its the one I thought/hoped it was. She is 23 days into flower and looks like she will put out some big buds for her size, the only issue is she is not as frosty as I am used to seeing with this strain. In fact, she is just now starting to show a bit of resin production and I am used to them showing nice coverage within 21 days. Definitely has that familiar smell though.
As for her breeding, I am a bit nervous! The buds I dusted do have some browned hairs which is a good sign.. but it has been 16 days and I was hoping I would have more concrete evidence that she is gonna put out. Keep your fingers crossed for pineapple critical kush :)

Here is one of the buds from the Critical Kush. This was taken on day 33 of flower. I have not pinpointed her smell yet as it seems to have changed a bit lately, but it does smell very nice! I think this pheno is going to be a late finisher so I'm glad it is crossed with that fast flowering C99 :D
