CBD Critical #47

CBD Critical #47 or Photoperiod (Feminized) is a strain that typically contains THC levels between $5\% - 8\%$ and CBD levels ranging from $5\% - 9\%$. Known for its Balanced 1:1 (Medical/Functional) profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being $100 - 150\text{ cm}$ (Medium) in height, with a nutrient demand that is Moderate to Heavy; responds well to organic feeding.

This Photoperiod (Feminized) is of the Genetype: Indica-dominant Hybrid (Approx. 70/30). The CBD Critical #47 strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow CBD Critical #47 in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Photoperiod (Feminized) is $6.0 - 6.5$ and $5.5 - 6.0$ hydroponically. During this infancy stage, CBD Critical #47 needs to maintain a target temperature of $22 - 28^\circ\text{C}$ ($72 - 82^\circ\text{F}$) for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seed germinates, it will sprout it's first set of round leaves, or the cotyledons. If you are able to maintain the target humidity of $50\% - 65\%$ RH, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Photoperiod (Feminized) growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling CBD Critical #47 needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing CBD Critical #47 is 18/6 for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The CBD Critical #47 will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of $20 - 26^\circ\text{C}$ ($68 - 79^\circ\text{F}$) is maintained and a target humidity of $40\% - 50\%$ RH is achieved, the Photoperiod (Feminized) will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This Indica-dominant Hybrid (Approx. 70/30) is trying to build it's own solar panel of leaves to absorb energy. It is critical to maintain a proper light cycle of 12/12 for the entire phase 2 schedule. This consistent energy will help plant grow bigger without producing flowers, focusing it's energy on growing tall and strong. CBD Critical #47 is at it's most resilient and may grow quickly. As phase 2 comes to an end, it may be topped or tied down, as it's training suitability is considered High; Excellent for SCROG and LST.

The most exciting phase, when growing Indica-dominant Hybrid (Approx. 70/30) is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. CBD Critical #47 will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 12/12. Keep the temperature and humity controlled at $18 - 24^\circ\text{C}$ ($64 - 75^\circ\text{F}$) and $35\% - 45\%$ RH so you can really watch this plant strecth and almost double in height. It will want to start producing early into the flowering process.

You will know the CBD Critical #47 is ready when the white hairs (pistils) turn amber/brown and the resin glands (trichomes) look milky or cloudy, rather than clear. Cutting the plant down even a week too early can significantly reduce the potency and weight of your harvest. Patience in the flowering phase will provide the best possible outomce of Photoperiod (Feminized) with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Vigorous, "Christmas tree" shape with heavy branching

Growers Notes: Hobby Grower’s Notes
The "Heavy Head" Problem: This strain produces notoriously large and dense buds. By mid-to-late flower, the branches often lack the structural integrity to hold their own weight. Support is mandatory. Use stakes or a trellis net (SCROG) to prevent branches from snapping.

Rapid Flower Onset: One of the most satisfying traits for hobbyists is its speed. It transitions into flower quickly and often finishes in just 50–55 days.

Odor Management: While the 1:1 ratio is "gentle" in effect, the smell is not. It carries a heavy, sweet, fruity aroma that can become quite pungent. If you are growing in a residential area, ensure your carbon filter is fresh.

Mold Sensitivity: Because the buds are so thick, the core of the flower is a prime target for botrytis (bud rot) if humidity spikes above 55% in the final weeks. Keep your oscillating fans moving!
