~ 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 tent environment remains on point. Temperatures with 'lights on' are running 72-74℉/'Lights off' 68-70℉ with a RH of 38-44% which is maintaining good VPD numbers ranging between 0.78kPa to 1.15kPa. I'm currently running the lights @ 60% power which is giving leaf temp's of 74-77℉ (very important to keep leaf temperatures below 80℉ as higher temperatures can affect transpiration). 12/18- Yesterday, when I checked the trichomes on both the #2 is getting really close with the majority of her trichomes milky now with about 10-15% clear and I'm just now starting to see a couple of amber ones show. By Christmas she'll be ready to go dark for 48-72hrs before she's cut and hung to begin the drying/curing process. The #2 pheno is close as well, but not quite as far along as her sister with 10% of her trichomes still clear and just a couple of amber one's showing up so I'll keep monitoring her to determine the ideal time to harvest her. Today they were both 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. 12/20- Both of these ladies are right on the cusp of being perfect! Due to family obligations, I'm going to have to wait until the day after Christmas to harvest which is 3-4 days longer than I'd like but this will be good for me to build patience. It's ALWAYS tempting to want to harvest as soon as your plants are looking perfect to you but, I've found waiting another week or so ALWAYS brings great results... So I'll patiently wait and enjoy Christmas with family! 🎄❄️ Today they were watered to runoff with 72℉ well water that has a base 100ppm which I ph'd to 6.5. I also turned each of their pots 1/4 turn. 12/22- Can you believe SEVEN WEEKS of flower has passed??? These girls are looking so incredibly tasty, I can't wait to get them into their 48-72hrs in the dark so they can get chopped and hung to begin the drying/curing process! I let both dry out yesterday and only turned their pots. Today they were both 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. This grow has been a blast and I hope that you've enjoyed it as much as I have... if only we could have a 'sesh' together after it's cured to get some varied opinions on it! 🤪 This coming week will be the final entries up until they're chopped, then comes the Harvest Report! See you next week fam! ❤️❤️❤️ May all your days and grows be Blessed! May you and yours have a safe and Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅🙏💝 ~ Thank you so very much for following along on this grow... 💚what you grow, Grow what you 💚! ~
