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.

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! 😎🙏❤️ ~
