~ 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.

They're 19 days old and looking like champs. The #1 in a smaller plant, at roughly 4.5", but is healthy and is continuously sprouting new growth! The #2, at 6+ inches, is going strong and is noticeably larger than her sister. Both have numerous side branches now and, insofar as their rate of growth, I'm really not concerned as I know that this strain is a slow starter and doesn't get incredibly tall but WILL produce an EPIC yield! 💪❤️❤️ 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 and tomorrow I will begin training them by tying down some of their branches to allow better light penetration. 👻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! 😎🙏❤️ ~
