Critical Mass, one plant under a 250 HPS

so at 30 days flowering i though it was time to start a thread to document this grow, so that i can look back at it and lurn in the future.
so this time after doing a 16 plant SOG i didn´t like the paranoia of having that many plants, and that lead me to pick up a mother plant and low stressed and supercroped the shit out of her, the strain i choose was critical mass, the main reason was the allmoust garantied yield, not that i am a comercial grower, but i was looking to get the most out of a plant and assure a head stash because i hate the felling of not having kind herb to smoke and the black market were i live is not a good supply source, weed is allmoust impossible to get, the usual is marroc hash but low quality, from time to time theres some nice morroc eggs but kind of pricie!!
im reusing my coco, no problems so far, and i dont flush, the bin that im using does not have any holes, i could make some, but i dont want to deal with the amount of work it brings, doing some drainage system and all that.
for ferts im using biomagno veg and bloom, for those i have to thank to filimagno :bow: o is the maker of those nutrients, they hare the most simple to use that ive tried yet, do to the easy 1ml per liter dosage u dont use that mutch, and it gives great results, plus its 100 % organic, and also added some guano and atazyme from atami,as for now the results are very good, they look healthy so i dont have reasons to complain, all i can do is wait for them to be ready, not shure how mutch they will take to finish but im aiming to 60\70 days, so a month more or less and harvest time!!!
as this is a 1 plant grow the updates wont be that regular, not to mutch to show i gess!!
heres some pic´s from day 1 of 12/12

She looks to be doing great. Good work! I have to ask though, why did you transplant the way you did and not just re-pot. The way it was done looks like it would have caused the plant quite a bit of stress? Regardless, even if it was stressed it looks to be doing great. Can't wait to see it finished.

thanks indica sativa, im trying to get plenty of flavour in my crop, and as filimagno said, its all about the flavour!!
TGT, i took her out of the growing bag she was in, and then gently separate the coco from the roots trying not to damage them, the reason for me to do this was in order to lower her vertical size, because the pot she was in was tall and this one as more vertical space and a lot of capacity, i did not see signs of stress as she started flower.

thanks yts farmer and good luck with ya seeds!!
hey there -VT- :wave: , nice to have you around on this thread, i allways apriciate your inputs, and every one elses that are kind enouf to do so!!!
so my plant is at 40 days since the timer switch to 12\12, still no yelowing on the leafs, they are still streatching a lill bit, but now would be a great time for them to get some wheigh on, im not aiming for those fat colas that i get from this strain on my last grow because it was very diferent from this one, non the less i have some average to big colas developing, some hair started to turn brown on the lower buds, and im out of stash so every time i look at them i just wish i could pic them pop corn buds and have a blast :rasta: , just like wen your hungry and your friend´s head shape starts to resemble a big fat juicy hamburger :jump:
well heres the pics !!

Those buds look absolutely delicious. They always say patience is a virtue, but whoever the hell came up with that wasn't growing dank weed like yours... Patience is more like a punishment. Look but don't touch haha

Cheers

thank´s guys!!
well 45 days passed by, she is bulking up now, i cant wait till its harvest time, im still looking to go at least till 60 days, so with that in mind im no longer giving it nutrients, just enzimes and maybe top max, to improve the taste, if anyone could give me some tips, do you think its to early to stop feeding??
heres how they look

Dewd........ Your plant looks killer.........But.........

Dewd........ Your plant looks killer.........But.........

Your CM looks nothing like mine that I got from close friend couple yrs. ago in Europe..............It`s way too sativa-ish looking from mine but maybe there`s buncha hybrid pheno`s ?......All my seeds I sprouted were stable and looked the same through harvest....I saw where you topped yours but the plant structure is not the same cuz 1 of mine broke and sprouted 2 like your topped plant and looks nothing like yours............Mine grew lil Christmas trees with huge top colas at 32 inches tall from top of bucket for well over 2 1/2 ozs. finish in my ebb and flow buckets with 10 day veg from rooted clones to finish in 9 weeks at over 5 lbs. in a 6x9 area with 35-5 gal. buckets under 3-600 hortilux`s....CM has not outperformed any strain I`ve used in the last 2 yrs but it has good bag appeal...............Peace.....DHF........ :joint: ..........

eskimo-ranger, thomasyoung ,cgnosis, grower.pt, Rebel_444 thank´s guys!!:wave: :rasta:

DEDHEDFRED,i have tow diferent phenotypes of critical mass,this one is more sativa leaning, it a big yealding plant, the smell is very fruity like grapefruit and pinapple, very sweet erb, the other pheno is more on the indica side, the buds are very dense, the calixys size is amazing, very frosty and a very potent strain, one of my favorites, heres a link so you can give it a look http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=59340.

hey there _frankenstein_:wave: , nice to see ya around!!my advice for every one that is growing in soil is to change to coco ASAP, it´s better in every ways, and i understand that you are concerned in loosing some of the experience that you build up till now, butt i think that you can adapt your knowlage to the new substract and use it to your advantage, if you are not 100% shure, just do a side by side grow, and you can get away using your plagron ferts, just give some more N to the coco plants and you be fine, if you can buy some type of enzymes, they really help allot in a coco grow!!

well i allready harvested my plant, it was a little to early butt the mites situation was getting out of controul so i chopped the dam thing!!
i was sucessefull at getting the clorofil out of the fan leafs, in order to improve the taste and the smootheness of the smoke, and besides the spider mites and having to support the buds i didnt have any issiues this time, so it was a nice simple grow, very easy to feed with the biomagno nutrients, im veary pleased and cant wait to taste a nice dried and cured bud!!i dont now wat to expect for the yield, i hope something like 3 OZ,that should last me till my next harvest, if its anything abouve its better, i dont have to count my joints and dont have to save weed like a squirl!!
so heres the pic´s from day 52 till harvest day 59!
