~ 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.

Truly an epic little autoflower! 😍 The #2 is covered in flowers as well that have an noticeably different structure to them having more pointed tops to them, compared to the #1's flowers more rounded appearance. Both girls have an strong aroma to them that reminds me of some killer hash I've had, with a hint of sweetness... wonderful! ❤️❤️❤️ 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 #1. 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, Lotus 'Bloom' @ 1.5 tsp/g and Lotus 'Boost' @ 0.5 tsp/g to achieve a 1.6 EC and a ph of 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. 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... May all your days and grows be Blessed! 😎🙏❤️ ~
