~ 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.

Her leaves continue to fade and I'm going along with her regular regimen as I've exhausted all my solutions and am not stressing over one plant... she is what she is, but still a beauty in my eyes! 😍 The shorter #2 is covered in flowers that have an incredible, super strong citrus aroma that makes my mouth water...I can't wait for this one! 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 checked the trichomes on both as they are getting close, especially the #2 which is really beginning to fade now. The #1 also is showing signs of her fade possibly just beginning and consequently I will be beginning to flush them this week. 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 which I then ph'd to 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 #2 is almost completely faded now and I expect her to be the first to go dark with the #1 not too far behind her! 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... 💚what you grow, Grow what you 💚! ~
