Critical 2.0 XL autos - GoG

[JTDS2011]

so im germinating 20 seeds right now of garden of green's critical 2.0 xl auto seeds right now
9 popped a tail out of there shell, and i put those 9 in soil so far
Doing foxfarm ocean forest with perlite and DE in the soil mixed together in 5 gallon buckets
gonna be using 2 tents, 1000watt systems depending on how many fully pop tails and soil
foxfarm nutes and calmag will be the feeding schedule like mama's recipe

ill keep you updated as the weeks go by i've been wanting to do a big grow and one strain like this for a while

my only question is what is best for light schedule should i do 20/4 18/6 or 24 hours a day lights on until i see pistols and then switch to 12/12 or just run one schedule all the way through? i was gonna do 20/4 personally but i def want some input on best schedule and do i flip wen i see signs of flowering, thanks guys

So far so good 12/14 popped soil and soooooooooo we wait another day

Decided to go with running 20/4

 

[WeedHopper]

All the way thru my friend. It worked great for me.

So far so good first real week finally passed just had a few issues in the house but nothing to do with the seeds… so here’s my update and how it’s going still couldn’t get two to pop for autos so I will be doing 12 autos so far and maybe two more as fem seeds to grow the time of the autos and have some big babies to go right into flower after these get done

So I will call this the full second week into the auto flowers but I never count the first few days it breaks soil, and they seem to be doing very well with just water and Cal mag I will be using alittle grow big next water to see if it helps but they’re doin well under 750watts that is dimmed at 75% on my 1000watt ballast… about 20ish inches away from the tops I only had one out of the 12 that did break soil actually stunt from the getgo and looked like bad genetics but it’s coming back with some new growth finally let’s hope that runt turns out to be the big girl in the group cuz they usually do lol

 

[JTDS2011]

Just turned up to 100% on the ballast let’s get this ball goin, and wen I start seeing flowers in the next few weeks should I put my HPS back in?

 

[JTDS2011]

Just an update

 

[JTDS2011]

Pistols have finally spit out on most of the autos, can see new growth from sides and top yellowing as going into flower mode, very excited…. pics in a few days… should I throw my HPS yellow bulb in now? Or just run the MH blues?

 

[ROSTERMAN]

I always flipped my bulbs at flower

 

[JTDS2011]

Almost 30 days old

 

[JTDS2011]

So six and six under 1000w systems so far sorry bout the light on in a couple days wen I feed more I’ll post a few more photos but def going into flower just perfect I wish they were alittle thicker and bigger but hopefully they fill out with nice spots

 

[ROSTERMAN]

They will overtake and fill your whole tent

 

[JTDS2011]

I hope so I need more bud spots and sites from what I’m seeing now lol if this auto run fails I’m going back to all fem seeds again and just chopping big again lol

 

[JTDS2011]

There getting bigger

 

[WeedHopper]
