As always, It's a big relief to get through the first 4-5 days as the seedlings are so delicate at that stage. Now, they've had a chance to establish some roots (albeit small ones!) and have their first sets of true leaves emerging. Now that the Solo cups that were acting as humidomes are gone, I'm keeping the RH in the tent at 65-70% via a 1.5g humidifier. The lights are still set to 25% power and are roughly 40-45 inches above the plants. I moistened the medium directly around each using a 1L pump sprayer filled with de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.2 @ 74℉. 10/16- Yesterday I checked the moisture level in their medium, which was slightly moist. Their color was looking a bit pale and since all they have received so far is water I went ahead and fed them. I mixed up a 1g container of nutrient using: 1g well water that is 150ppm @ 7.0 ph, to which I added 1tsp of Lotus 'Grow' and mixed thoroughly. I then checked and adjusted ph to 6.3 @ 75℉. After mixing, I gave each girl 20oz. of the solution gently poured in a circle, staying about 3-4" out from the plant. Watering this way moistens the medium where I want the roots to spread, looking for moisture and keeps from drowning the plants young root system. Today when I checked on them, they both have a noticeably darker color and their leaves are up, looking vigorous... I'd say that these ladies are good to go! 😎👍 I'll be feeding only once or twice a week for the first few weeks, then gradually up their nutrient levels. 10/18- Well the 'Ultimate' girls are both looking great and are getting bigger by the day! I didn't water them yesterday and I just checked and made sure their humidifier tank was topped off with water. Today I gave them a good watering of 1.25L of well water with 0.4ml of Dutch Pro's Silica Von Liebig’s Special added that was ph'd to 6.2 @ 74℉ 10/20- Today I increased the power to the HLG 650R's to 40% and checked and adjusted their height from the plants to 40". I fed both today with 1L of well water with 1 tsp/g of Lotus Nutrients 'Grow' along with 0.4ml of Dutch Pro's Silica Von Liebig’s Special that was then ph'd to 6.2 @ 74℉ Both of these girls are healthy and rockin! They're at roughly 3.5 inches now and both have node spacing that's indicating they may get tall!. Both have their third nodes just about fully emerged and are growing like crazy now! 🤪 ~ Thank you so very much for following along on this grow... May all your days and grows be Blessed! 😎🙏❤️ ~

Both of these ladies are tall and strong with their 4th leaf sets emerging along with side branching beginning to sprout. Their color and vigor is perfect and I can see by their wide node spacing that they're probably going to be 'leggy'. Yesterday was a 'dry-out' day and all I did was refill the humidifier which I turned down to 60%RH as their water amounts have increased and their pots are contributing to the overall RH in the tent which I'm keeping in the mid 60's right now. Today they received a good feed of 0.7g of well water with 0.4ml of Dutch Pro's Silica Von Liebig’s Special added, then enough Lotus Nutrients 'Grow' added to bring the EC to 1.2, that was then ph'd to 6.1 @ 74℉. I gave 1/4 of it in their drip pans so that their pots could suck it up from the bottom as the medium at the bottom was extremely dry, the remainder was given through the top. After feeding they both had runoff in their pans which I removed after waiting 15min. and checked its PH which was 6.3 @ 73℉. 10/23- I didn't water them today as they were saturated yesterday and I'll wait until their medium dries to the point of just being slightly moist before they're watered/fed again so I just checked and made sure their humidifier, which is now set to 60%RH, was topped off with water. Both are really beginning to take off with noticeable daily growth occurring now! 😎👍❤️ 10/25- The girl's have had two days off from watering so that their medium dried out sufficiently which I always check with a soil hygrometer to insure against over watering. Today I watered both with .75g of well water with 0.4ml/g of Dutch Pro's Silica Von Liebig’s Special added, that was then ph'd to 6.0 @ 74℉. They both are growing like wild and have a beautiful dark green color to them. They have their 5th leaf sets emerging now as well as multiple side branching on both girls! 10/27- I held off watering/feeding today as they had some weight to them when lifted. I'll be giving them a heavy feed tomorrow! I switched out my AC unit for the tent which was positioned on the outside of the tent for a smaller unit that I placed in the tent. The other unit had its cold air directed into the tent via a 4" hose and it was not enough airflow to keep the tent temperatures in the sweet spot. The smaller A/C is having no problem keeping the air temp's at 78℉ with the HLG's now set to 55% power. The #1 is now pushing 8" tall and has some incredibly long fingers on her shade leaves! The color on the #1 is also off slightly which I'm sure will resolve after her feed tomorrow. The # 2 is doing fantastic, while not quite as big as the #1 she's definitely happy and healthy! ~ Thank you so very much for following along on this grow... May all your days and grows be Blessed! 😎🙏❤️ ~

They're 19 days old and looking like champs. The #1 is just a phenomenal phenotype hands down! She's the larger of the two pheno's, has huge fan leaves and wide node spacing... Very 'Sativa like' which means she'll more than likely need some extra time to fully mature and is going to be BIG! 🤩🌳 The #2 is no slouch and is only slightly behind her sister with both girls sprouting new growth daily. Their color and vigor are on point although I'd like to see the #1's color darken a bit which upping her nutrient ppm's will surely address. I was waiting two days in between watering/feeding but now, that they are getting bigger and their root systems are getting well established, I'm switching to an every other day schedule to prevent their medium from drying out to the point that they're stressed. Today I watered/fed each with 1g of 74℉ well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 1.2ml of Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig’s Special and Lotus 'Grow' which I then added until I achieved a 1.2 EC. I then checked and adjusted the ph to 6.0. After watering them I waited approximately 15min. and then, using a 2.5g mini wet vac, I removed the excess runoff from their drip pans. I have the lights now set @ 55% power and they're approximately 38" above canopy which the girls are loving! I also checked their leaf temperature's which are running 75-78℉ which is perfect! The RH in the tent for the past week is averaging 65.3%, air temp's averaging 78.4 and an average VPD of 0.96. 10/30- After giving them a day to dry out, I watered both today 2 hours after 'lights on' with 0.5g of well water with 2.5ml/g of Earth Juice 'Oily Can' added and then ph'd to 6.1 @ 74℉. After watering there was no runoff and 3 hours after watering they were both 'praying' 😁👍 The #1 is now officially in her transition from Vegetation into Flower! I noticed that she now has pistils emerging from her nodes which indicates that she's preparing to go into flower... Hang on! 😍 They're both getting really bushy now and tomorrow I will begin training them by tying down some of their branches to allow better light penetration. 👻HAPPY HALLOWEED!👻🌱 11/1- I went ahead and let them both dry out some more and skipped watering yesterday. Today they looked a bit thirsty so I just gave them a small drink of 0.25g of well water ph'd to 6.1 @ 72℉. Today, I added 2 cups of earthworm castings to their pots and worked it into the medium by hand. I then fed the girls with 0.5g of well water with 0.4ml of Dutch Pro's Silica Von Liebig’s Special, 2.5ml/g of Earth Juice 'Oily Can', then enough Lotus Nutrients 'Grow' added to bring the EC to 2.1, that was then ph'd to 6.0 @ 74℉. After watering/feeding, there was no visible runoff and 3 hours after their feed they both were looking vibrant! I also have started LST on both using horticulture wire, gentle bending of branches and judicious leaf tucking! 11/3- Today they both look amazing and have abundant new growth happening everywhere! Both are showing signs of 'pre-flower' now and are stretching nicely! I did not water them today as their pots are heavy to lift so I turned their pots 1/4 turn and did a little canopy maintenance. Onward to Week 4 for these pretty ladies.... See you there! 😎❤️ ~ Thank you so very much for following along on this grow... May all your days and grows be Blessed! 😎🙏❤️ ~

The #1 is a monster and is approaching 14" tall, the #2 although not as big, is a bushy girl and requires daily training to keep on top of her ensuring plenty of light penetration down into her canopy. The #1 has much wider node spacing and has, as yet, no issues with getting enough light into her! Today they both got a watering with 0.5g straight well water that was 100ppm after being ph'd to 6.0 @ 74℉. After watering, they had minimal runoff which was reabsorbed within 10min. 11/6- With both girls going into flower I introduced Lotus Bloom into their feed. Today they received 0.5g of 74℉ well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 1.2ml of Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig’s Special, Lotus 'Grow' @ 4 tsp/g and Lotus Bloom @ 1.25 tsp/g to achieve a 2.4 EC. I then checked and adjusted the ph to 6.1 I raised the lights to maintain a 38" light to canopy distance. I also checked the leaf temp's on both plants which were running 78-80℉ which is perfect. The tent environment has been spot on with an average weekly VPD of 1.10 kPa and it shows in their appearance and vigor! 11/8- Yesterday was 'TRAINING DAY' and both ladies had branches tied down with coated horticulture wire and also had some shade leaves and older growth removed to allow better light penetration into their canopy's. Today I went ahead and checked their mediums moisture level. I decided to go ahead and water both with well water which I added 5 ml/g of Earth Juice Oily Can to and then ph'd it to 6.0 @ 73℉. I'll let them dry out for a day, then check their medium again to decide whether to feed them or wait another day. Both plants have recovered from the LST they received yesterday and are looking very HAPPY! 💚 11/10- Today I checked the moisture in their medium and decided to let them go one more day until being watered/fed as they were still pretty moist. I did place risers under both of their pots to allow air circulation to the underside of the fabric pots to avoid having the lower portion of the pot stay too wet. It's been a great week for these ladies and we've got PLENTY of weeks of flower ahead of us so hang on, it's gonna be a wild ride! 🤪 ~ Thank you so very much for following along on this grow...

I'm switching their nutrients this week, eliminating the 'Grow' nutrient and upping the 'Bloom' portion along with the addition of Lotus's 'Boost'. I'll be upping their ppm's as well going as high as 2.6-2.8 depending on how the plants react. I have the lights @ 55% power hung 38-40" above canopy and temp's in the tent are maintaining 76-78℉ with a 55-60% RH resulting in weekly VPD averages of 1.16kPa and a max VPD of 2.08kPa. I've also been keeping an eye on leaf temperatures to ensure that they do not exceed 81-82℉, which I've kept in check via light output and height above canopy along with tent temperature. I gave them a good water/feed today with 0.75g of well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 1.2ml of Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig’s Special, 5 ml/g of Earth Juice Oily Can, Lotus 'Bloom' @ 4 tsp/g and Lotus 'Boost' @ 1.25 tsp/g to achieve a 2.6 EC. I then checked and adjusted the ph to 5.9 @ 74℉. 11/13- Today the girls were watered with 0.75g of well water, without anything added, that was ph'd to 6.1 @ 73℉ to prevent any buildup of nutrients and to pull fresh oxygen down into the lower portions of their fabric pots. I left the runoff that drained into their drip pans remain (the pots are on risers to prevent them from sitting in the runoff) to help add some RH to the tent as our weather has gotten colder and A LOT drier. Because our weather is now staying cold I decided, with the outside air temp's now not going above the mid to upper 40's℉, to remove the portable A/C unit from the tent and instead bring the cold outside air into the tent to keep it cool. I accomplished this by placing a Hurricane 6" inline 450cfm fan with a speed controller hooked to it into the A/C exhaust duct, and then routing the duct hose end to be exposed to outside air. I secured the other end of the exhaust duct in on of the tent doors that I really don't use and secured the door zippers to in creating a light proof seal. Now with the lights running at 60% power the tent temperature is holding a steady 72-74℉ which will be perfect for flowering. I'll just have to keep an eye on the RH for a few more weeks until they're further into flower and I'll want the RH to be in the 35-40% range. 11/15- Yesterday, I decided it was time to defoliate the girls. I started at the bottom, removing the large shade leaves, and worked my way up to the middle of the plants removing lower shade leaves from stalks and also any tiny flowers forming down low that will never become really nice and use up energy better used elsewhere in the plants. Today both of the ladies were looking absolutely vibrant, showing zero signs of stress. I went ahead and checked their medium's moisture content, then fed/watered both with 0.5g of well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 1.2ml of Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig’s Special, 5 ml/g of Earth Juice Oily Can, Lotus 'Bloom' @ 2.5 tsp/g and Lotus 'Boost' @ 1.25 tsp/g to achieve a 2.1 EC (I'm dialing back the ppm's to avoid nutrient burn). I then checked and adjusted the ph to 6.1 @ 72℉. I did have an issue with my co2 system with the regulator malfunctioning causing the tank to dump. I went ahead and ordered TWO as I've tried three different brands, with varying pricing, and all are made in the ROC. Furthermore they ALL break within 2-4 months so my advise is to by a pair of the cheap ones (Vivosun) which gives you a backup and spare parts...lol! 😁 11/17- Well the co2 is back up and running! With the second week of flower coming to a close I've dialed back their nutrient level a bit as I was noticing some leaf tip discoloration beginning to occur on the #1. I've also upped the output of the HLG's to 75% and raised them so they're 34-36" above canopy. Tent temp's, RH and VPD all remain on point with a week ending average VPD of 1.22kPa They were fed today with 0.5g of well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 1.2ml of Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig’s Special, 5 ml/g of Earth Juice Oily Can, Lotus 'Bloom' @ 1.5 tsp/g and Lotus 'Boost' @ 0.5 tsp/g to achieve a 1.8 EC (I'm dialing back the ppm's to avoid nutrient burn). I also added 1 tbsp/g of unsulfured black strap molasses to the solution (secret ingredient) then checked and adjusted the ph to 6.2 @ 72℉. ~ Thank you so very much for following along on this grow...

I did do some adjustment to the LST on both, re-positioning the wires tying down their branches and removing a couple of shade leaves. Both ladies are super healthy and are looking fantastic, especially the #1 which has a gorgeous structure, size and has required minimal training or defoliation! 11/20- Today when I checked their medium's, the #1 was pretty light to lift so I gave her 0.5g of well water with Earth Juice Oily Can added @ 5ml/g which I then checked and adjusted the ph to 6.0 @ 73℉. The #2 doesn't drink nearly as much as her sister and was still pretty moist so I just gave her a splash to moisten the top portion of her pot. Both girls are progressing nicely in their flowering and have numerous bud sites on them! I did notice that the #2's leaves will droop towards the end of the light cycle and will perk back up 2-3 hours after the lights come back on. I see it in the #1 as well, but not nearly as much as in the #2. 11/22- Today I skipped watering as, after giving a quick check with the moisture meter, their medium was still too moist to warrant watering/feeding them so I'll wait until tomorrow. I did some canopy maintenance and turned their pots 1/4 turn. 11/24- Yesterday, after giving them ample 'dry time', I watered/fed both. The #1 got 0.75g, while the #2 which is not as big or thirsty only received 0.5g of well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 1.2ml of Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig’s Special, 5 ml/g of Earth Juice Oily Can, Lotus 'Bloom' @ 2 tsp/g and Lotus 'Boost' @ 0.5 tsp/g to achieve a 1.8 EC. I'm dialing back the ppm's to avoid nutrient burn which I was starting to notice on the #1. After mixing the solution, and letting it sit for 5min or so, I then checked and adjusted the ph to 6.1 @ 74℉. ~ Thank you so very much for following along on this grow...

I'm letting them go two days in-between watering/feedings as they seem to have a noticeable improvement in their vigor letting them dry out the additional day so I'll wait until tomorrow to feed them. 11/27- Yesterday I fed/watered each with 0.5g of well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 1.2ml of Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig’s Special, 5 ml/g of Earth Juice Oily Can, Lotus 'Bloom' @ 2 tsp/g and Lotus 'Boost' @ 0.5 tsp/g to achieve a 1.8 EC. Today they both looked vibrant and all I really did was turn their pots 1/4 turn each and do some minimal canopy adjustment. I'm also continuing to check their medium daily to make sure that it is getting ample time to dry out between feedings/watering. 11/29- Both ladies are looking superb with the #1 being the larger pheno... she's an absolute BEAST! The #2,while smaller, isn't slacking on her flowering and is starting to stack her buds which have some short, fat white pistils which contrast beautifully against her flowers! I have checked the soil ph on both and they are each at 6.2 which is fine, I've made sure that they've gotten enough CalMag and I dropped the ppm's of the nutrients and the ladies both are looking happy so I'm not going to change anything... If it isn't broke, don't try to fix it! Today they were each watered/fed with 0.75g of 72℉ well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 1.2ml of Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig’s Special, 2.5 ml/g of Earth Juice Oily Can, Lotus 'Bloom' @ 2 tsp/g and Lotus 'Boost' @ 0.5 tsp/g to achieve a 1.8 EC. I also turned each of their pots 1/4 turn. 12/1- Well there's another week on the books for these gorgeous looking ladies! Today I let them go another day before I feed/water them as their mediums are still pretty moist but with the RH running around 40% they'll be ready tomorrow for sure! I also turned their pots 1/4 turn each to insure that every part of them gets enough light exposure. Stay tuned for Week Five of flower... It's sure to be exciting! 🤩❤️ ~ Thank you so very much for following along on this grow... May all your days and grows be Blessed! 😎🙏❤️ ~

The #2, despite being nowhere as big, is filling out her flowers as well and is ahead of her sister. The #1 has a mild aroma to her, while the #2 has a stronger nose at the moment. Today they were each watered/fed with 0.75g of 72℉ well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 1.2ml of Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig’s Special, 2.5 ml/g of Earth Juice Oily Can, Lotus 'Bloom' @ 2 tsp/g and Lotus 'Boost' @ 0.5 tsp/g to achieve a 1.8 EC. I also turned each of their pots 1/4 turn. 12/4- I let the girls dry out yesterday. Today they were watered/fed with their usual of 0.75g of 74℉ well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 1.2ml of Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig’s Special, 2.5 ml/g of Earth Juice Oily Can, Lotus 'Bloom' @ 2 tsp/g and Lotus 'Boost' @ 0.5 tsp/g to achieve a 1.8 EC after which I ph'd the solution to 6.3. 12/6- Wow... both of these ladies are looking amazing!🤩 The #1 continues to amaze me with her structure and the huge cola's she's developing! The #2 is also doing extremely well, has great vigor, color and continues to stack her flowers which are just starting to have some smell to them. I watered/fed both with 0.75g of 72℉ well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 1.2ml of Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig’s Special, 2.5 ml/g of Earth Juice Oily Can, Lotus 'Bloom' @ 2 tsp/g and Lotus 'Boost' @ 0.5 tsp/g to achieve a 1.8 EC and a ph of 6.4, I also turned each of their pots 1/4 turn. 12/8- Well fam, there's five weeks of flower behind us now and we've got another 2-4 weeks to go!

The #2, being indica dominant, is way shorter but nevertheless is covered in tightly bunched flowers that are starting to cover themselves in glistening trichomes! Her flowers have a noticeable difference when compared to the #1 with much shorter, fat white pistils and it looks like their stacking slightly tighter as well. Today they were both checked and watered/fed with 0.75g of 72℉ well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 1.2ml of Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig’s Special, 2.5 ml/g of Earth Juice Oily Can, Lotus 'Bloom' @ 2 tsp/g and Lotus 'Boost' @ 0.5 tsp/g to achieve a 1.8 EC and a ph of 6.4, I also turned each of their pots 1/4 turn along with raising the light above the #1 four inches to allow for her stretch. I'll post some PPFD numbers in my next diary entry for anyone interested. 😎🤙 12/11- Yesterday I skipped watering both and instead just turned their pots. I also started to check the trichomes on both. Today they were both checked and watered/fed with 0.75g of 72℉ well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 1.2ml of Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig’s Special, 2.5 ml/g of Earth Juice Oily Can, Lotus 'Bloom' @ 2 tsp/g and Lotus 'Boost' @ 0.5 tsp/g to achieve a 1.8 EC and a ph of 6.4, I also turned each of their pots 1/4 turn. As promised, PPFD readings at canopy level in the 4x8 are ranging from 934 PPFD over the shorter strains, and 1121 to 1163 over the taller girls for those interested. 12/13- I watered/fed both girls today with 0.5g of 73℉ well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 2.5 ml/g of Earth Juice Oily Can, Lotus 'Bloom' @ 1.5 tsp/g and Lotus 'Boost' @ 0.5 tsp/g to achieve a 1.6 EC and a ph of 6.4, I also turned each of their pots 1/4 turn. 12/15- Well, there's six weeks of flower behind us... 9 1/2 weeks since these two girls broke ground and they're both just incredible examples of this strain! I'm starting to give them a 1-2 week flush and I'm checking their trichomes (which are getting closer by the day) daily in order to time when I'll be putting them in the dark for 48-72hrs before they're cut and hung to begin the drying/curing process. The #1 is beginning to fade now and I expect her to be the first to go dark. I'll be keeping a close eye on the #2 which shouldn't be too far behind her sister. Today I watered both to runoff with 73℉ well water that has a base 100ppm which I ph'd to 6.4 I also turned each of their pots 1/4 turn. ~ Thank you so very much for following along on this grow...

The tent environment remains on point. Temperatures with 'lights on' are running 72-74℉/'Lights off' 68-70℉ with a RH of 38-44% which is maintaining good VPD numbers ranging between 0.78kPa to 1.15kPa. I'm currently running the lights @ 60% power which is giving leaf temp's of 74-77℉ (very important to keep leaf temperatures below 80℉ as higher temperatures can affect transpiration). 12/18- Yesterday, when I checked the trichomes on both the #1 is getting really close with the majority of her trichomes milky now with about 10-15% clear and I'm just now starting to see a couple of amber ones show. By Christmas she'll be ready to go dark for 48-72hrs before she's cut and hung to begin the drying/curing process. The #2 pheno is close as well, but not quite as far along as her sister with 20% of her trichomes still clear and no amber one's showing so I'll keep monitoring her to determine the ideal time to harvest her. Today they were both watered both to runoff with 73℉ well water that has a base 100ppm which I ph'd to 6.4 I also turned each of their pots 1/4 turn. 12/20- Both of these ladies are right on the cusp of being perfect! Due to family obligations, I'm going to have to wait until the day after Christmas to harvest which is 3-4 days longer than I'd like but this will be good for me to build patience. It's ALWAYS tempting to want to harvest as soon as your plants are looking perfect to you but, I've found waiting another week or so ALWAYS brings great results... So I'll patiently wait and enjoy Christmas with family! 🎄❄️ Today they were watered to runoff with 72℉ well water that has a base 100ppm which I ph'd to 6.5. I also turned each of their pots 1/4 turn. 12/22- Can you believe SEVEN WEEKS of flower has passed??? These girls are looking so incredibly tasty, I can't wait to get them into their 48-72hrs in the dark so they can get chopped and hung to begin the drying/curing process! I let both dry out yesterday and only turned their pots. Today they were both watered both to runoff with 73℉ well water that has a base 100ppm which I ph'd to 6.4 I also turned each of their pots 1/4 turn. This grow has been a blast and I hope that you've enjoyed it as much as I have... if only we could have a 'sesh' together after it's cured to get some varied opinions on it! 🤪 This coming week will be the final entries up until they're chopped, then comes the Harvest Report! See you next week fam! ❤️❤️❤️ May all your days and grows be Blessed! May you and yours have a safe and Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🙏💝 ~ Thank you so very much for following along on this grow... 💚what you grow, Grow what you 💚! ~

Week Eight of flower's here and these gorgeous ladies will be finishing up shortly! I let both dry out today and just turned their pots.... damn they look sweet! 12/25- ❄️🎄🎅 MERRY CHRISTMAS FAM! 🎅🎄❄️ Today they were both watered both to runoff with 73℉ well water that has a base 100ppm which I ph'd to 6.5 I also turned each of their pots 1/4 turn. 12/26- I'm letting both Ultimate's dry out today and will wait until tomorrow to water them again. Both plants are looking great with the #1 stacking away and filling out her cola's. The #2 is so dense with foliage I almost wish I had done a more intensive defoliation on her when she went into pre-flower or did some HST on her to open her up, otherwise her flowers are frosty and have a pungent, sweet aroma now! 12/28- Both were watered yesterday with 73℉ well water that has a base 100ppm which I ph'd to 6.5 I also turned each of their pots 1/4 turn. Today they both looked great so I skipped watering them and only turned their pots. They both are sooo close to being ready, and it's been a real trial of my patience to not have chopped them already, I expect to putting both in the dark for 72 hours tomorrow or the next day. After spending their time in the dark, I'll chop and hang both to begin the drying/curing process. This has been a super exciting almost 12 weeks with these girls from Dutch Passion and I can't wait to get to the results...can you? See you next week!😎❤️ ~ Thank you so very much for following along on this grow... 💚what you grow, Grow what you 💚! ~

~ Auto Ultimate®️ by Dutch Passion ~ The Ultimate X Auto Mazar Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together cultivating Dutch Passion's 'Auto Ultimate' along with three other incredible autoflowers from Dutch Passion that I'm running separately, so buckle up and hold on! This will be a wild ride for sure! I've wanted to grow this strain for some time now and finally have an opportunity to see what I can do with it, and I've germinated two so double the fun! "Auto Ultimate is one of the best yielding (if not the best) autoflowering plants in our collection. The genetics come from our original photoperiod parent The Ultimate. The Ultimate became a bestseller shortly after launch when it was announced that this strain could provide extremely high yields with the buds providing a strong and long-lasting high." ** "Auto Ultimate is a high-THC variety with a pleasant, euphoric feel-good high and anti-anxiety effects. Overall, the high is clear, cerebral and energetic. The buds provide a long-lasting effect with a strong initial euphoric high. Smoke a little more and Auto Ultimate will provide you with a calming effect, a strong appetite and ultimately a good night's sleep. The long-lasting effect makes this autoflower loved by recreational and medical users alike.** If you dose this strain properly, it will provide you with a balanced up-high that will last for several hours. It is a creeper that increases in strength over time, the quality of the high is what many users appreciate about this strain. The high hits hard and quickly and gives you a wonderfully soothing feeling. You will feel very relaxed and may not want to leave your seat for a while."** **Credit- Dutch Passion.com ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~ Grown in 15L Gronest geotextile pots filled with Mother Earth Grow 70/30 Coco/Perlite with Xtreme Gardening Mykos added. ~ Seeds were germinated directly in the medium without any 'pre-soak' ~ Seeds were planted three days before the Full Moon (Waning Gibbons) and sprouted within 72hrs, on the Full Moon. ~ Feeding will be by Lotus Nutrients (first time using) ~ 24hr light cycle while germinating ~ 20/4 light cycle after first leaves appear. ~ 4x8 Gorilla Tent ~ HLG 650R w/ 30w Supplemental UVA Bar controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation.

Week Nine of flower and these ladies are looking spectacular! Today I went ahead and watered both to runoff with 72℉ well water that has a base 100ppm, I also turned each of their pots 1/4 turn. 12/31- Yesterday, I let the girls dry out and just turned their pots. Today, I watered both to runoff with 73℉ well water that has a base 100ppm, also turning each of their pots 1/4 turn along with checking their trichomes. These ladies are ready to go dark! 1/1/23- 🎉🎊HAPPY NEW YEAR FAM!!!🎊🎉❤️ This evening, I'll be placing both Auto Ultimate's in the dark for 72 hours to finish them off and boost the trichome production before their harvested. I have the room I use for drying setup with a humidifier/de-humidifier along with temperature control. I'm keeping the temperature at 56-58℉ and the RH @ 50% for the first 24hrs, then I'll set it to 60% for the remainder of the drying period which should hopefully take 10-12 days but I'm fighting really low atmospheric RH so they may only take 8-10 days... the longer, the better! 1/4- Today both Auto Ultimate's were released from their 72hr stint in 'Dark Jail' and let me tell ya, it DOES make a difference if done correctly! Both plants flowers had a noticeable increase in the amount of frost that was visible on their flowers than what there was prior to them going 'dark', and they both looked to have gotten a bit more colorful to boot! I cut the #1 off at her base and hung her whole, while the #2 was sectioned into three parts as it was short and THICK! I wanted to make sure that air could circulate around her colas, preventing any chances of mold or other funky thing to occur. Well friends, the plants are hung, the drying room is on point and I'm anticipating 12-14 days for both of these beautiful ladies from Dutch Passion to finish drying and be ready to trim up, get into jars and begin the curing process. This grow has been so much fun and all the comments, support and ❤️that I've received have left me without any words except... Thank you from the bottom of my heart!💓 See you at the harvest report!!! 😎🤙💖 ~ Thank you so very much for following along on this grow... 💚what you grow, Grow what you 💚! ~

I am excited to share my harvest report of two Dutch Passion Auto Ultimate plants that were grown indoors for 12 weeks. These plants were grown using 15L fabric pots filled with Coco/Perlite, and I am happy to report that they yielded a total of 309g combined. In this report, I will share the details of the drying process, trimming, and placing the buds in Mason jars to cure. After harvesting the plants, the first step was to dry the buds. The drying, trimming, and curing process can be time-consuming and requires attention to detail, but the end result is worth it as it ensures that the buds have a smooth and pleasant smoke, with a great flavor and potent high. I hung the plants upside down in a dark and well-ventilated room with a temperature of 56-60°F and humidity of around 55-60%. It took approximately 14 days for the buds to dry completely. During the drying process, I made sure to check on the buds daily, ensuring they were not too dry or too moist and used both a de-humidifier and a humidifier along with a fan to gently keep the air moving. Once the buds were dried, it was time for trimming. This is a tedious process that requires patience and attention to detail which I absolutely LOVE to do! I used a pair of Fiskers trimmers, which are my fav's, to carefully trim away any excess leaves, and other unwanted material. This step is important to ensure that the buds are clean and ready for consumption. After trimming, it was time to place the buds in Mason jars for curing. Curing is an essential step in the process of producing high-quality buds that are enjoyable to smoke. I placed the buds in Wide Mouth Mason jars, filling them about 2/3 full. I made sure not to pack them too tightly, as this can affect the curing process. I also place a hygrometer in each jar to get an accurate idea of the RH of the buds. The jars were then placed in a cool and dark place, with a temperature of around 60°F and a humidity of around 45-50%. During the first week of curing, I opened the jars twice a day for about 10-15 minutes to release any excess moisture. After the first week, I opened the jars once a day and then every couple of days for the next 2 weeks until the RH of the of the buds. in the jars reached 60-62% at which point I'm ready to start consuming! In conclusion, I am extremely happy with the yield and quality of the buds produced by the Dutch Passion Auto Ultimate plants although I feel that using different nutrients or growing organically would have resulted in even more spectacular results!
