OK, here is the plan.
I got some seeds from Attitude but, only a few.
The strain is Barney's Farm Critical Kush. I plan to plant 2 or 3 seeds. Probably 3, in case one doesn't germinate.
I will grow these 3 in a 400w MH tent. 7 gallon pots (Rubbermaid wastebaskets) on a 20/4 cycle (Or would 24/7 be better?)
I will top them all as soon as possible. And, again after they split. The idea is to make it provide clones so I want them as bushy as possible.
When they are ready, I'll take clones and root them. When the clones are ready, they go to the main room for a little vegging and then to flower.
Here is my timeclock......
I just put some plants in the main room to flower. Last time, this strain took 16 weeks to mature. I need to time my mother plant growth time plus my clone rooting time to match the time when I am harvesting the other crop.
So, how long will it take for the mother plant to grow from seed large enough to take 8 or 10 clones. Plus, the time it takes the clones to root and be ready to transplant.
My experience is moot here since I have been growing the same strain for so long. These new strains do everything much quicker, it seems.
I am thinking from seed to first topping is at least 4 weeks. Then another 2 weeks to the second topping. Then 6 or 8 more weeks until I can grab 8 or 10 clones from each.
Then, 3 more weeks for the clones to root (in the clone closet). Then 2 more weeks in 4" pots (probably in the 400w tent).
Finally, I can transplant these to 2 gallon buckets and put them in the main room (either for more vegging or to flower. Whatever is best at that point).
So, the way I figure it's going to be about 19 weeks until I am ready. Plenty of time for this 16 week strain to mature.
I'll bet I'm way off.
Anyone familiar with this strain and how fast it grows?
As always, thank you.
