~ 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.

They're 19 days old and looking like champs. The #1 in a smaller plant but is healthy and is continuously sprouting new growth! The #2 is going strong and is noticeably larger than her sister. Her color was slightly pale but otherwise she's very healthy with great vigor, and like the #1, is sprouting new growth daily! I was waiting two days in between watering/feeding but now, that they are getting bigger and their root systems are getting well established, I'm switching to an every other day schedule to prevent their medium from drying out to the point that they're stressed. Today I watered/fed each with 1g of 74℉ well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 1.2ml of Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig’s Special and Lotus 'Grow' which I then added until I achieved a 1.2 EC. I then checked and adjusted the ph to 6.0. After watering them I waited approximately 15min. and then, using a 2.5g mini wet vac, I removed the excess runoff from their drip pans. I have the lights now set @ 55% power and they're approximately 38" above canopy which the girls are loving! I also checked their leaf temperature's which are running 75-78℉ which is perfect! The RH in the tent for the past week is averaging 65.3%, air temp's averaging 78.4 and an average VPD of 0.96 10/30- After giving them a day to dry out, I watered both today 2 hours after 'lights on' with 0.5g of well water with 2.5ml/g of Earth Juice 'Oily Can' added and then ph'd to 6.1 @ 74℉. After watering there was no runoff and 3 hours after watering they were both 'praying' 😁👍 They're both getting really bushy now! The #2 is on a mission with really rapid growth happening right now. Tomorrow I will begin training the #2 by tying down some of her branches to allow better light penetration, the #1 just needs some 'leaf management' taken care of as she's still fairly small. 👻HAPPY HALLOWEED!👻🌱 11/1- I went ahead and let them both dry out some more and skipped watering yesterday. Today they looked a bit thirsty so I just gave them a small drink of 0.25g of well water ph'd to 6.1 @ 72℉. Today, I added 2 cups of earthworm castings to their pots and worked it into the medium by hand. I then fed the girls, giving the #2 0.5g of well water with 0.4ml of Dutch Pro's Silica Von Liebig’s Special, 2.5ml/g of Earth Juice 'Oily Can', then enough Lotus Nutrients 'Grow' added to bring the EC to 2.1, that was then ph'd to 6.0 @ 74℉. The #1 only received 0.25g as being smaller, her medium was still fairly moist. After watering/feeding, there was no visible runoff and 3 hours after their feed they both were looking vibrant! I also have started bending some branches down on the #2 using horticulture wire. Both the #1 and #2 are receiving LST through the gentle bending of branches and judicious leaf tucking! 11/3- Today they both look amazing and have abundant new growth happening everywhere! Both are showing signs of 'pre-flower' now... it won't be long before they both start to really take off! I did not water them today as their pots are heavy to lift so I turned their pots 1/4 turn and did a little canopy maintenance. Onward to Week 4 for these pretty ladies.... See you there! 😎❤️ ~ Thank you so very much for following along on this grow... May all your days and grows be Blessed! 😎🙏❤️ ~
