~ 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.

As always, It's a big relief to get through the first 4-5 days as the seedlings are so delicate at that stage. Now, they've had a chance to establish some roots (albeit small ones!) and have their first sets of true leaves emerging. Now that the Solo cups that were acting as humidomes are gone, I'm keeping the RH in the tent at 65-70% via a 1.5g humidifier. The lights are still set to 25% power and are roughly 40-45 inches above the plants. I moistened the medium directly around each using a 1L pump sprayer filled with de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.2 @ 74℉. 10/16- Yesterday I checked the moisture level in their medium, which was slightly moist. Their color was looking a bit pale and since all they have received so far is water I went ahead and fed them. I mixed up a 1g container of nutrient using: 1g well water that is 150ppm @ 7.0 ph, to which I added 1tsp of Lotus 'Grow' and mixed thoroughly. I then checked and adjusted ph to 6.3 @ 75℉. After mixing, I gave each girl 20oz. of the solution gently poured in a circle, staying about 3-4" out from the plant. Watering this way moistens the medium where I want the roots to spread, looking for moisture and keeps from drowning the plants young root system. The #1's first leaves have a bit of a wrinkly appearance at their tips, which I attribute to when her seed shell was stuck preventing her leaves from opening up which I gently removed. Today when I checked on them, they both have a noticeably darker color and their leaves are up, looking vigorous... I'd say that these ladies are good to go! 😎👍 I'll be feeding only once or twice a week for the first few weeks, then gradually up their nutrient levels. 10/18- Well the #2 is looking great and the little #1 is well on her way to catching up to big sis! 💪 I didn't water them yesterday and just basically made sure the tank on the humidifier was topped off with water. Today I gave them each a good drink of 1.25L of well water with 0.4ml of Dutch Pro's Silica Von Liebig’s Special added that was ph'd to 6.2 @ 74℉ 10/20- Today I increased the power to the HLG 650R's to 40% and checked and adjusted their height from the plants to 40". I fed both today with 1L of well water with 1 tsp/g of Lotus Nutrients 'Grow' along with 0.4ml of Dutch Pro's Silica Von Liebig’s Special that was then ph'd to 6.2 @ 74℉ The #1, which is the smaller of the two, has a little bit of yellowing on the tips of her first leaf set. I'll keep an eye on her and cut back on her nutrient ppm's. She's sprouting her third node of leaves and overall appears really healthy otherwise. The #2 is taller and on her fourth node with slightly wider node spacing as well, and like her sister is looking very healthy! ~ Thank you so very much for following along on this grow... May all your days and grows be Blessed! 😎🙏❤️ ~
