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 #2, being indica dominant, is way shorter but nevertheless is covered in tightly bunched flowers that are starting to cover themselves in glistening trichomes! Her flowers have a noticeable difference when compared to the #1 with much shorter, fat white pistils and it looks like their stacking slightly tighter as well. Today they were both checked and watered/fed with 0.75g of 72℉ well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 1.2ml of Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig’s Special, 2.5 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 and a ph of 6.4, I also turned each of their pots 1/4 turn along with raising the light above the #1 four inches to allow for her stretch. I'll post some PPFD numbers in my next diary entry for anyone interested. 😎🤙 12/11- Yesterday I skipped watering both and instead just turned their pots. I also started to check the trichomes on both. Today they were both checked and watered/fed with 0.75g of 72℉ well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 1.2ml of Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig’s Special, 2.5 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 and a ph of 6.4, I also turned each of their pots 1/4 turn. As promised, PPFD readings at canopy level in the 4x8 are ranging from 934 PPFD over the shorter strains, and 1121 to 1163 over the taller girls for those interested. 12/13- I watered/fed both girls today with 0.5g of 73℉ well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 2.5 ml/g of Earth Juice Oily Can, Lotus 'Bloom' @ 1.5 tsp/g and Lotus 'Boost' @ 0.5 tsp/g to achieve a 1.6 EC and a ph of 6.4, I also turned each of their pots 1/4 turn. 12/15- Well, there's six weeks of flower behind us... 9 1/2 weeks since these two girls broke ground and they're both just incredible examples of this strain! I'm starting to give them a 1-2 week flush and I'm checking their trichomes (which are getting closer by the day) daily in order to time when I'll be putting them in the dark for 48-72hrs before they're cut and hung to begin the drying/curing process. The #1 is beginning to fade now and I expect her to be the first to go dark. I'll be keeping a close eye on the #2 which shouldn't be too far behind her sister. Today I watered both to runoff with 73℉ well water that has a base 100ppm which I ph'd to 6.4 I also turned each of their pots 1/4 turn. ~ Thank you so very much for following along on this grow... May all your days and grows be Blessed! 😎🙏❤️ ~
