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.

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