Dutch Passion Auto Ultimate

~ 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.

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! 😎🙏❤️ ~
