looking good! its an indica dominant hybrid so you can get away with a few more amber trichomes. cool microscope shots!

@THCandME, yeah he seems to do really well with them. his plants always turn out great. I read that you have to watch how much you water though, because they are slow time release and you can wind up releasing too many nutrients into the soil. Id like to mention to you that Ive been watching your grow since you transplanted out of those jiffy cubes and had the nutrient issues at first. I think that stunted the growth by a two to three weeks atleast, and the nitrogen toxicity over time might be locking out other nutrients. On my Critical Mass from Canuk, did 8 weeks of veg and currently on 6 weeks of flower. You'll have to take my word for it that the plants are doing better than yours currently, just using coco and Advanced Nutrients organic base nutes, rain water and with some added bat guano and molasses here and there, PHed to 5.5-5.7. I dont have a grow diary up to show however. I recommend on your next go switching to coco (with perlite if you want) as im not sure whats in the soil you used (you could be adding more nutes than necessary and the coco ensures your on an even base soil to start), and also ditching the jiffy cubes and using a small seeding tray with coco to sprout them, no nutes to start. Ultimately, the plants you have now look like they are going to finish strong, they just seem to be taking a very long time. I am a beginner grower too so take all of what im saying for a grain of salt but just my recent experience growing along side you. Cheers!

Yeah curled down and dark green leaves is too much nitrogen. must be your soil. I am also growing two of the Critical Mass from Canuk seeds right now. They are in week 5 of flower. Did the same as you and manifolded. One I left only the 8 colas, the other I left all the side branches. Growing them in coco and Advanced Nutrients organic (just the base nutes),. My leaves aren't as green as yours, and my leaf tips are actually burning a bit and curling up. I added a bit of bat guano and molasses, so that must be what is causing it. Advanced nutrients is working really well, but I plan to go to Gaia green organic dry amendments for the next go around (hate mixing nutrients every day, I would rather just water when dry). I seem to go through way too much liquid nutrients for one grow, and the cost just isn't worth it.
