~ 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.

The #1 is still a little shorter than her sister but otherwise she's healthy with good color and vigor. The #2 is looking superb, has her fourth leaf set emerging and has side branching beginning! Yesterday was a 'dry-out' day and all I did was refill the humidifier which I turned down to 60%RH as their water amounts have increased and their pots are contributing to the overall RH in the tent which I'm keeping in the mid 60's right now. Today they received a good feed of 0.7g of well water with 0.4ml of Dutch Pro's Silica Von Liebig’s Special added, then enough Lotus Nutrients 'Grow' added to bring the EC to 1.2, that was then ph'd to 6.1 @ 74℉. I gave 1/4 of it in their drip pans so that their pots could suck it up from the bottom as the medium at the bottom was extremely dry, the remainder was given through the top. After feeding they both had runoff in their pans which I removed after waiting 15min. and checked its PH which was 6.3 @ 73℉. 10/23- I didn't water them today as they were saturated yesterday and I'll wait until their medium dries to the point of just being slightly moist before they're watered/fed again so I just checked and made sure their humidifier, which is now set to 60%RH, was topped off with water. Both are really beginning to take off with noticeable daily growth occurring now! 😎👍❤️ 10/25- The girl's have had two days off from watering so that their medium dried out sufficiently which I always check with a soil hygrometer to insure against over watering. Today I watered both with .75g of well water with 0.4ml/g of Dutch Pro's Silica Von Liebig’s Special added, that was then ph'd to 6.0 @ 74℉. They both are growing steadily and have a beautiful dark green color to them. Their node spacing is pretty tight, especially the #1 which is noticeably shorter than the #2. They both have their 5th leaf sets emerging now as well as multiple side branching on both girls! I'm going to have to start LST on both very soon! 10/27- I held off watering/feeding today as they had some weight to them when lifted. I'll be giving them a heavy feed tomorrow! I switched out my AC unit for the tent which was positioned on the outside of the tent for a smaller unit that I placed in the tent. The other unit had its cold air directed into the tent via a 4" hose and it was not enough airflow to keep the tent temperatures in the sweet spot. The smaller A/C is having no problem keeping the air temp's at 78℉ with the HLG's now set to 55% power. The #2 is now pushing 6" tall and has really begun to take off! Her color on the #1 is also off slightly which I'm sure will resolve after her feed tomorrow. The # 2 while smaller, is doing fantastic, looking happy and healthy! ~ Thank you so very much for following along on this grow... May all your days and grows be Blessed! 😎🙏❤️ ~
