~ Dutch Passion Auto Lemon Kix ~

~ Auto Lemon Kix®️ by Dutch Passion ~ Las Vegas Lemon Skunk Autoflower Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together cultivating Dutch Passion's Autoflowering version of their outstanding Skywalker Haze 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 Lemon Kix is the strain of choice if you are looking for the fruitiest aroma in an autoflower with a high THC content. These sativa dominant autoflower seeds provide a complex fragrance and taste that is simply hard to match. The buds are bursting with terpenes - the compounds which produce the deep aroma and tasty flavors in cannabis. They are also loaded with THC-rich trichomes. It is a very potent autoflower that produces beautiful light green, white buds with a thick sticky layer of resin that smells and tastes incredibly fruity. It can best be described as a sweet mix of tropical fruit and lemon, very penetrating and tasty!" ** "Auto Lemon Kix has one of the most complex and fruity flavor profiles in our autoflower seed collection. You can smell a certain sweet, fruity fragrance reminiscent of a well-known USA brand of small, colorful candies. Expect a rich attractive fruity/skunky scent, a citrus-like taste and a very powerful, long-lasting euphoric high." ** "Auto Lemon Kix is an autoflower with a slightly longer seed-to-harvest cycle than average. It will take about 12 weeks before she is ready to harvest. In non-ideal culture conditions, this phase can be delayed by around 1-2 weeks." "We advise you to grow her in soil/compost with organic food for the tastiest end result. The organic food and soil bring out the best in her and provide you with extremely fruity buds that will continue to amaze you time and time again! For optimum results it’s important to wait until she is ripe enough. Try not to harvest her too early because it is precisely in those last weeks that her potency and taste profile rise to extreme heights!" ** **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.

Dutch Passion Auto Lemon Kix... Pucker up! 🍋🍋🍋 Saying that I'm excited to run this strain would be a huge understatement! I'm very anxious to get these babies in the medium which will be done without any per-soaking. They'll both go directly into the medium 4-5mm deep, get about a shot glass worth of water sprayed on them to get them moist, then have a Solo cup with vent holes in it placed over them until the first true leaves emerge. Today the 15L pots were filled with medium and watered with .75g of de-chlorinated well water that was ph'd to 6.8 @ 75℉ to get the medium moist before the seeds are planted. After filling the pots, they were tagged and placed in the tent on drip saucers. 10/7- Well fam, here we go! Today is three days before the Full Moon (Waxing Gibbous) and I planted each seed in its 15L pot, watered them and covered them with red Solo cups that had vent holes drilled in them. I'm running the HLG 650R at 25% power 24/0 to keep the temperature in the tent running a constant 80℉ with the help of the AC Infinity Cloudline T6 and Controller 67. I set the controller for a 'High Temp' of 80℉ and it does the rest, adjusting the fan speed to maintain the set temperature... pretty sweet! 👍👍 10/10- Today is the Full Moon... Seventy-two hours since being planted in their medium and, just like magic, there is life! They BOTH broke ground mid morning...100% germination! 😍👍 Both are doing well with the #1 a little slow opening up . she's wearing her seed shell like a little helmet. If she doesn't open up by tomorrow I'll give her a little GENTLE assistance. Other than that, I'll just maintain their moisture levels for now. 10/12- Well both girls are doing great! Yesterday, the #1 still had her seed shell stuck on her preventing her cotyledon leaves from emerging so, after disinfecting my hands, I very gently opened up the shell slightly to allow the leaves to do the rest... she was good to go today! I went ahead and also set the TrolMaster Hydro X light controller to a 20/4 cycle with a 15min Sunrise/Sunset added. The HLG 650R remains at 25% power for now and I have not started to supplement co2 in the tent. Tent temperatures remain a constant 80℉ and I'm keeping the clear Solo cups over them to act as humidomes until they're at least a week old, then I'll pull the cups and set the humidifier in the tent to 65-70% RH for them. 10-13- The Solo cups came off today! I fired up the humidifier in the tent and set it to maintain a RH in the tent of 65-70% at this time. Tent temp's remain a constant 80℉. Well, there's a week gone by since these ladies were nestled in their medium... Week Two here we come! 😎👍 ~ Thank you so very much for following along on this grow... May all your days and grows be Blessed! 😎🙏❤️ ~
