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.

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... May all your days and grows be Blessed! 😎🙏❤️ ~
