This Royal Critical Automatic auto-flowering strain began its journey outdoors on June 5th, germinating successfully and entering the seedling stage a few days later. The grower opted for an early outdoor transition, noting it promotes a more robust stem, though potentially slowing initial growth. Despite a setback where one of the three plants was lost due to an "accident," the remaining two plants progressed through vegetative and into flowering stages by mid-August. The grower has been diligently monitoring moisture levels and providing water as needed, with the two surviving plants appearing healthy and showing no signs of deficiencies.
