~ Dutch Passion Auto Think Big ~

~ Auto Think Big®️ by Dutch Passion ~ Think Different XXL selection 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 Think Big is a unique autoflower that originated from our world-famous Auto Think Different. It will therefore not surprise you that in terms of terpenes, this strain shows similarities with our Auto Think Different. Although some Auto Think Big phenotypes may have a similar terpene profile, she is usually slightly different in smell and taste to her parent. In general, Auto Think Big has a fruity, citrus-dominant aroma with mainly floral and sweet notes. She can also smell a bit creamy and pine-like. In terms of taste, she leans most towards citrus, lime and frankincense. When you smoke her in a joint or consume her with a vape, you will immediately taste her fruity sweet flavors. On both the inhale and exhale you can experience a strong citrus taste that reminds you of the zest of a lemon. All in all, a very diverse flavor profile that you just have to try once!" ** "Auto Think Big is a 'one-of-a-kind' autoflower which is known for her large yield in combination with a very compact structure. It is not often that you come across an autoflower that is able to provide you with such thick buds and yields while the plant remains average in height. Literally the whole plant is filled from head to toe with flowers! " ** "Auto Think Big is a highly productive autoflower based on the legendary Auto Think Different genetics. Auto Think Big emerged from a small selection of special XXL Auto Think Different plants chosen from a few hundred plants grown from autoflower seed. These formed the basis for Auto Think Big. The AK420 genetics used in our Auto Think Different make for a stable and potent product." ** "Auto Think Big is easy to grow and her medium size makes her very manageable/controllable without sacrificing yield or potency. Growing this strain is uncomplicated and she knows how to provide you with a generous yield and a pleasant growing experience at all times. The only downside to this variety that we can think of is that you have to wait just a little longer before you can harvest her big resinous buds!" ** "Auto Think Big is one of the most stable autoflowers in the collection, guaranteeing a consistent product and predictable growth. This auto is ideal for both home growers and professionals looking for a bountiful harvest with a compact plant that is very manageable. If you're looking for yields that can easily yield between 1-2g/watt, this is the one for you." ** **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. 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 girls are both looking great! I didn't water them yesterday and just basically made sure the humidifier tank was topped off with water. Today I gave them each 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, is sprouting her third node of leaves and overall appears really healthy otherwise. The #2 is similarly on her third node with fairly tight node spacing, 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! 😎🙏❤️ ~
