Critical ~ Royal Queen Seeds ~ DWC 5

Critical (Feminised Photoperiod) ~Royal Queen Seeds~ https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/feminized-cannabis-seeds/133-critical.html Indica Hybrid ~ Afghani x Skunk Flowering Time: 49-63 Days THC: ~20% CBD: Low ~~~~~~~~~~ Range of 5-8 stars from 5 plants: 1 Runt (5*) 2 average gals very reminiscent of their Skunk Lineage (6-7*) 2 are very sweet and taste of candy (7-8*) Overall, very satisfied with this harvest - minimal issues considering its a fresh start in a new location. Had some light leak issues that caused 2 of the closest plants to herm in week 6 of flower, also saw drastic PH swings that week so maybe a combination of the two. Almost certain that this correlated to the falling of leaves around my house, we have lots of trees!!! - and a whole lot of coverage disappeared in a couple days and we didn't know - and all of a sudden there's unwanted light in my grow room D:::: Both plants that received HST put out foxtails but did not herm on me 🙏 definitely some good genetics there - strong and big! Should have trimmed a couple branches higher up on the big gals - they had a solid chunk more small branches than desired leading to smaller primary satellite branches / smaller nugs / less weight etc. (Bigger is not always better!) Mid veg I ended up opening the tent for some additional RH control. Eventually I will do away with the tent altogether and put up some relefctive mylar in the room - giving me some more space to work with. Plan was always to double up and have half DWC (potentially RDWC eventually) and the new 6x will be either CoCo or a drip/pot system of some kind. Not this next grow, but possibly the start of next year - and potentially sponsored, stay tuned! About 30g Keif pulled from the trimbim. Trim was added to what was collected from my "Cherry Pie" plant. About a full gallon bag - threw into cold storage until I get a press sometime next year and turn it all into rosin, or maybe edibles. Will have 2x more XS2000's by flower of next grow - try and get some even bigger numbers out of 6 plants / less popcorn. It's worth noting that with these large net pots the hydobucket lets in a solid chunk of airflow and lacks pressure like a 5gl bucket system. Maybe use pot covers to put over your hydroton to mitigate that airflow and prevent mold in the top space of your root system. I saw a tiny bit and hit it with the hose during a nute swap, threw as much more hydroton in as I could - and never saw it again. Southern AG, so far, is working as expected - smaller doses than hydroguard and saving $$$ My apologies for the poor quality trichome photos.
