Preparing for Growth: The Setup

  • Grow Tent: 4×4 tent with reflective walls for maximum light exposure.
  • Lighting: 600W HPS lights for optimal brightness and heat.
  • Medium: Hydroponic system for precise nutrient control.
  • Nutrients: Organic mix for natural, healthy plant growth.

Germination and Early Growth

Using the paper towel method, all seeds sprouted within 48 hours. Seedlings were transferred to Rockwool cubes before entering the hydroponic system.

Vegetative Stage: Growth and Training

  • Low-Stress Training (LST): To maintain height and improve airflow.
  • Pruning: Removing lower branches and excess fan leaves for better light penetration.
  • Environmental Control: Temperature maintained at 21-26°C with 50-60% humidity.

Flowering Time: 7-8 Weeks of Development

By the second week, buds began forming. By week four, thick resin coats covered the buds, emitting a strong citrus-skunk aroma.

Harvesting and Curing

After eight weeks, the grower checked trichomes for readiness. Harvesting yielded approximately 600g/m² of dense, sticky, high-THC buds. Proper drying and curing enhanced flavour and potency.

Final Thoughts: A Grow Worth Repeating

Critical x Green Crack proved to be a rewarding strain, offering high yields and potent effects. Whether you’re a new grower or an expert, this strain delivers exceptional results.
