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.

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! 😎🙏❤️ ~
