Absolutely loved growing this strain. She was really easy to grow, which was very much welcome as it was my first time! She was also really hardy and when my White Widow (which I grew at the same time) was struggling, the Orange bud was powering through. She gets very large and the aroma is very pungent. Post harvest, she has an amazing citrus smell and packs a punch.

Nutrients
Really enjoyed using the BioBizz products. They were pretty complicated to use as I had the entire set and I wasn't sure whether to reduce the dose for autoflowers or not. However, they did respond to my queries and gave me the direction I required. Cant give them a 5 at this stage as its my first grow and I have nothing to compare against. However, I plan to use them for further grows in the future.
Lights
Really loved this little light. It performed really well, didn't get too hot and the dimming option was very helpful.

I am very pleased I have another one on the go already as part of my first grow. Ophelia didn't harvest very much, but I learned my lessons quickly and was able to produce a MUCH bigger plant with her sister Orla, who is 10 days behind. Even though I didn't get too much of a harvest, the lessons I learned were invaluable and thanks to her being such a hardy plant, what I did harvest was top quality and I am really pleased 😁
Smoke review
Admittedly I am a Sativa fan, as I just LOVE that head high and collapsing in a frenzy of giggles. In that respect, the Dutch Passion Auto Orange Bud did not disappoint. I've been desperate to try her and when I did, it turned out to be a legendary evening! I was expecting her to pack a punch and oh boy, did she. She is FUN INCARNATED 😎😛 She is hugely Sativa dominant and we spent hours laughing uncontrollably. It was an incredible head high with a euphoric, happy feeling. She hit about 20 minutes after the first volcano balloon had done the rounds. It was like a slap in the face which left you feeling wonky, but happy and amused. I didn't experience any negative side effects to be fair, but certainly got the munchies later in the evening. She has an incredibly pungent smell and strong distinctive taste. She tastes of orange and the taste is predominantly citrus. Other than the citrus, she has undertones of earth and a sour pang to her. I intend to always have some of this strain at my disposal as its such a lot of fun. LOVE LOVE LOVE it 😍

It’s overcast here today and I’m wondering if I should turn my grow lights on to compensate for the lack of direct sunlight. If so, should I drop the intensity to compensate for the additional natural light? Can you overdo the amount of light (not heat) a plant gets?

Hi fellow grower, Short answer long. Yes you can! Plants can experience light burn where the leaves are bleached on the tips where the light has been too intense. More often than not it comes with heat stress too. It will not hurt your plants to add more light and you're right to be cautious about intensity. Trial and error is the best way to learn. Set it up on 50% intensity and watch how your plants respond. Every plant is different, they all have their own characteristics and needs. I hope this helps, good luck with your grow...

How do you measure a plants height after you LST? It’s shorter now as it’s bent over?!

Which ever way you prefer - The plant I chopped 2 weeks ago was 38cm from soil to tip of cola measuring along the stem...it was about 20cm from soil to top in a straight line, It gave 60g dry which, in my opinion, is the only real measurement you need accurate 😊

Your ph is high if your at 7. Early reddening/browning of pistols, is a sign that her food is a little high. I like to see my pistols stay white/vibrant until the 5th to 6th week of flowering. If you have your feed a little low to proper, then the pistols stay white until at least the 5th week of actual flower. In my many yrs of growing I have overfed under fed and always see the same results when overfed. Underfed will still give you big beautiful buds, but overfed, the total harvest will suffer.

Noticed these on the main stem and another branch of my plant today. Is it a hermie and what do I do if she’s been pollinated? She looks to have really big buds already too!

No those are calyx. That is what will make a seed if she gets polinated. The look like a teardrop with white/red hairs coming out. A male pollen sac will be oval with no hairs. The other is a "bannana" will be yellow and look like two small bannana's easy to spot as they are yellow. Happy Growing

Hi there! I saw you mention high heat in your greenhouse. What's your setup look like? Are you able to vent out the heat at all?
greenhousegrowgirl

@happykat, thank you! Yes, I’m pleased with the set up, but I draw the line at buying an air conditioner for the greenhouse 🤣 I’m out there several times a day, but it’s hardly a chore really, I love it. So once in the morning to open the curtains and the side vents, then once during the day to check on them and finally again in the evenings to put them under the lamps and draw the curtains. That’s when I take a big watering can and wet the floor, so only once a day. It’s just been bad the last couple of days as it’s been so hot. That’s why I started autos in autumn to be fair. I knew summer would be too much work with the heat.

@greenhousegrowgirl, Such a cool setup! I see what you mean about the difficulty in controlling the heat, though. How often do you find yourself in the greenhouse trying to cool it down, create humidity, etc.? Luckily, you said it was cooling down in general, so hopefully, you're not out there too often trying to turn on the cooler/heater combo unit.

Hopefully you figure out a solution to the excessive humidity. I love how much problem-solving skills come into play with gardening haha

@greenhousegrowgirl, Do you think you'll have to run the humidifier as much as the seasons change and cool off a bit? Going well! I hope that I'm addressing a potential nutrient deficiency and possible pest problems, but apart from that, everything else is good.😄

@happykat, yep all good mate. Applied the exit hose to the back of the dehumidifier and now I don’t need to empty the tank 😀 Working so far and humidity is stable again. How’s your grow going?

Your LST looks a lot like mine! Maybe we're doing it correctly haha everything is looking great! I haven't really defoliated the pink kush yet, since I'm still watching it recover from topping. How much did you defoliate and how did you go about that?
happykat
happykat
@greenhousegrowgirl, I've also read that cutting off half a leaf (across the vein) is another way to defoliate without causing so much stress. Might be worth a shot!
greenhousegrowgirl
greenhousegrowgirl
@happykat, well I started by taking off big leaves that were covering the little nodes and preventing light. Then I read it can be detrimental as it stresses the plant! They seem ok, but I’ve waited for her to get a lot more leaves til I did it again 🙈 I try and tuck the leaves underneath now instead.

You can dry your Ophelia in your tent during the grow. Use your cleaned airpot. It's dark and has good airflow. Use paper or anything else as lit. I do se same, works well. If you let your ventilator the wind scratches the air pot, its good.
