~ 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.

I did do some adjustment to their LST, re-positioning the wires tying down branches. Both ladies are super healthy and are looking fantastic, especially the #1 which has a gorgeous structure and size! 11/20- Today when I checked their medium's, they were pretty light to lift so I gave both 0.5g of well water with Earth Juice Oily Can added @ 5ml/g which I then checked and adjusted the ph to 6.0 @ 73℉. Both girls are progressing nicely in their flowering and have numerous bud sites on them, especially the #1 that is already getting frosty and has a much stronger smell to her! I did notice that their leaves will droop towards the end of the light cycle and will perk back up 2-3 hours after the lights come back on, otherwise both are extremely healthy and are doing great! 11/22- Today I skipped watering as, after giving a quick check with the moisture meter, their medium was still too moist to warrant watering/feeding them so I'll wait until tomorrow. I did some canopy maintenance and turned their pots 1/4 turn. 11/24- Yesterday, after giving them ample 'dry time', I watered/fed both. The #1 got 0.75g, while the #2 which is not as big or thirsty only received 0.5g of well water that has a base 100ppm, to which was added 1.2ml of Dutch Pro Silica Von Liebig’s Special, 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. I'm dialing back the ppm's to avoid nutrient burn which I was starting to notice on the #1. After mixing the solution, and letting it sit for 5min or so, I then checked and adjusted the ph to 6.1 @ 74℉. ~ Thank you so very much for following along on this grow... 💚what you grow, Grow what you 💚! ~
