Photoperiod My first grow with photos ( BCN Critical XXL )

[JackDenmark]

I will try to make a diary in here with my first grow with photoperiods. The strain is: Seedstockers - BCN - Critical XXL Fast Femi.

So they are atleast all females. Right now i have 20 but im trying to find a good mother.. They all were seeds and are about 21days old and some 14days old. I just transplanted most of them, but dont have anymore space in my veg tent, so maybe i will just bloom some in the small pots just to see what would happen i have a hard time throwing any plants out cause they are all healty so for now i will just let them be

I use Biobizz Lightmix as soil and uses their nutrients too. So far i havnt used anything but root juice and just fed them with cal-mag when i transplanted them.. So the plan is to flower most of them and keep some of the best as a motherplant. I know its not the best way to find a mother, thats just me being lazy. I will take the chance. If they are good in Veg, they should be fine in flower too, i hope :smoking:

i will just post pictures and some updates doing the grow and when i have to choose the mothers..

Also, i have used different training methods to some of them, to see what would happen. I already topped one maybe too early but im in no hurry so they can comeback I also used F.i.M on one, and Lst on some others.. I will let you know what i find its working best for me when i know

Last week in Veg for these girls.. I will keep two or something to use as mother plants.. If you have any suggestion to which i should choose please let me know I will just take the chance with the 2-3 plants i like most, the rest will go into flower next week.

Im flushing them all right now because they may have got a little to much N, but i will soon go back to my new feeding schedule i got from another grower:

Trying to keep the height down, looking forward to try photoperiods and curious about how tall they will strecth.. I try to lst them and have the right light distance to help prevent to much stretch. Im hoping i can cover all the space under the lights with about 5 plants in a 1 m2 space under 3 different lights.. Also i choosed which plants i wanted to keep in veg but again its not the best pic even using sunglasses. Its Day 1-2 in flower atm

They are beginning to fill up the space, and they look healthy and drink alot! I give them about 1L every 1-2days and then sometimes i let them get alot of runoff, so i know the soil is fine :smoking:

i will update with more pics after cristmas..

Very good progress this week! Ive done a ton of training on these just to keep the height down. Now they are alot more bushy but at the same time some of the best ones grew 15cm on 7days

A few is showing some small deffiencies but i think i got it under control.. Now i just hope it will continue this good
