Gave the girls a good looking over and im noticing some the stems from the leaves are red on top and green underneath?
cheers man, funny you should say that about white hairs turning brown, I checked on my girls earlier and there's about 3 buds that are showing brown hairs, it's not the top buds either,it's the ones just below canopy level, is this normal or would this be tide into wat you was warning me about?First ... the girls are looking great ... mouthwatering ... eye candy ...
Could be related to pH. Have seen this caused by watering with water 5.0 and lower. Soil / soil-less pH below 5.0 as well.
The curling of the leaf edges would have me worried about heat. CK can really be messed up in its flowering process during the last 40 days of flowering imho. Specifically above 82 degrees f. After 40 days and upper 80's and watch those beautiful white hairs turn brown practically in front of your eyes. Good reason to add a nute / something that helps with heat during flowering. A portable air conditioner set up outside the tent may be one of the best investments you could make right now ... especially with the heat you have coming.
Awesome; )!!!!! love all these little ghetto inventions, give me a few days and il build one of these:)Hey Eskii, Most strains as they mature will develop a variation of reds and deep purple on the leaf stems and branches. This is normal and nothing to worry about. As far as temps. Here is a cheap easy way to cool your tent that I shared here a year ago.
Looing good!
Just watched a youtube video on this little bad boy and it makes alot of sense!! found them for sale over here for £20 so defo worth a buy;) NICE!!!I also want to show you another great product will provide a better balance of light and heat distribution in your tent at a fair price.
Price: $23.75
Item Details
The ALL NEW Super-Spreader combines common sense and innovation with advancements in effective surface technology to produce a truly Super Light Spreader! The new design is attractive, lightweight and easy to install. The 'Spreader Heads' are made from 97% reflective glass-coated aluminum with a prismatic micro-textured surface.
This incredible alloy is super cool, very reflective and creates even light distribution. The prismatic surface reflects and redirects light in a selective 4-way pattern for incredible results!
How & Why They Work! The design of the Super Spreader is based on logic and simplicity. All horizontal reflectors create an over hot, over bright spot directly beneath the lamp. The Super-Spreader spreads the excess light and heat proportionally to all areas of the grow room (especially the corners and edges which are often underlit). This creates even light and more harmonious growing conditions throughout the entire grow room.
NOTE: By attaching the Super-Spreader accessory, the Adjust-A-Wings performance may be enhanced significantly.
Adjust-A-Wings fitted with Super-Spreader can be lowered to an unprecedented 10"-12" from growing plants to produce awesome growing power while maintaining maximum area coverage and minimum heat build-up. Yield increases of up to 50% are not uncommon with proper use of this truly outstanding product.

I will be using one of these after we move into our new rental in another month.

I'm actually struggling myself to find these anywhere but second hand (used) condition!! Closest thing I found to being able to order one new is thisInteresting unit. Not available in the US (ebay?).:(
Did a quick search for info and could only find sales crap. Got a link to the company? or Name of company?
I hope it works really well for you.
Good to see another Barney Critical Kush grow at the same time as mine. I will watch for more updates. This is my first Barneys critical kush grow. Can't wait.Well, its cold, wet and windy here in the UK, mother nature at its best, still at least it's tropical in my grow tent haha;) I often think to myself i should pull up a deck chair, find my sunglasses and crack open a cold one pretend I'm on a beach somewhere, instead I spark up a fat one and tend to my baby's, equally as happy!!
Anyway, after being let down on some clones i was promised i decided id get some seeds instead, so me and the wife went on a 2day break to amsterdam and i bought 5 barneys farm critical kush seeds(feminised) thought I'd give em a go (first time from seed mind).
so February 2nd I went to the hydro shop and bought some root riots, got myself a propergator and a nice 150w cfl, got home and planted the seeds, I didn't mess about soaking in a paper towel or in glass of water etc I just chucked em straight in to the root riots and in to the propergator, placed in my boiler cupboard in complete darkness and left them over night.
To my surprise it only took 48 hours for the seedlings to show their heads with all 5 showing tap roots poking thru the bottom of the cubes, at this point I placed my 150w cfl above them for 2 days before repotting them in to 11l pots and moving them into the grow tent with the 600w hps.
Anyway, everything was running smoothly until they decided to turn yellow on me and didn't grow for a full week, at first I thought it was the lights but after doing some research I soon realised it was either nitrogen or a lack of cal mag, so back to the hydro store it was. I picked up a bottle of shogun cal mag plus and added some to my nute mix and also made up a foiler feed, 2 days later they'd turned green again and almost doubled in size, I was back on track ;)
I'm now at day 20 from seed and things are looking good, posting some pics below for you guys and il continue to do so for the full grow;)

I think thats more for a bulk buy sort of thing tho, companies called 'Grey technology hk'..
When I pick it up tomorrow il see if there's a website on the box man, for something of such good use I'm surprised there so hard to find, unless there crap then that explains it lol, il know by tomorrow anyway!!
Cool ... thanks ... really interested in this concept for personal cooling.
Try searching for "evaporative coolers" and "swamp coolers". Amazon has many. Sears to.
I do not think I will spend the money though. Went full tilt ghetto for my prototype. Used an old broken ice chest, cardboard boxes, fan, jugs of frozen water and of course some duct tape and a little gorilla tape. It works to bring the temp down a degree to 3 degrees in a small room ... depending on other room / air conditions. The 3 ... gallon size jugs of frozen water would still be 1/2 or more frozen after several hours.
I do not want to steer you away from this. Because in a small tent this concept might work ok. But the one thing I would suggest is finding out how long those water containers are supposed to stay frozen. Cannot be sure of the size from the pic ... but they look small. In my experiments the gallon jugs lasted over 12 hours. But the smaller containers ... quart size or less ... were not worth the bother.
You may be able to find one that has something other than water as a fill that would last longer.
Glad to have you cannabis gal ;) you dropped by just in time, things are just starting to get interesting;)Good to see another Barney Critical Kush grow at the same time as mine. I will watch for more updates. This is my first Barneys critical kush grow. Can't wait.
hey man, sounds similar to wat iv been looking at, AC units cost a bomb not only to run but also to buy so any alternative I can find is worth a shot, hoping this ice fan will do the trick ;)^ Ive got a little Cooler m8,a tiny car One that sits on the Dash! Yep Freeze water in the Cartridges,fill it up with them in an' then the water Gradually Soaks onto a Material that the Fan Blasts (lowers temp by a Couple of C .. I "DID" have a bigger one that looked like a Portable Air conditioner,great, only used 65watts ! Called Karlstien ?? .......german anyhow.
[Most a/c use over 2kw :( ]
^What Wk are the CK at m8? Donkey dick of a Cola,lol
