Dutch Passion Sugar Bomb Punch

~ Dutch Passion Sugar Bomb Punch®️ ~ THC Bomb X (Critical Orange Punch x Bubba Island Kush) One of my favorite breeders is undoubtedly Dutch Passion, I've gotten spectacular results from every one of their strains I've cultivated and, although this will be my first time with this particular strain, I'm sure this Sugar Bomb Punch won't disappoint! "Sugar Bomb Punch is a cross between THC Bomb and Critical Orange Punch x Bubba Island Kush. This ‘3-way cross’ has created the very interesting and diverse odour and taste profile. Critical Orange Punch is super fruity and the Bubba Island Kush is more earthy, sour and kushy. Both the THC Bomb and the Bubba Island Kush contributed to the potency of this new strain and the relatively fast flowering time. The Critical Orange Punch, on the other hand, has slightly increased the volume and thus the yield. Combining these 3 strains has created a new strain that is unparalleled. The combination of potency, taste and heavy yields is usually the blend that every grower wants." "Sugar Bomb Punch is an Indica-leaning hybrid cannabis strain that was created by carefully crossing different types of genetics. This strain belongs to our "USA special" family and produces some of the most potent cannabis buds you will come across. THC values are between 20-25% without too much effort. Sugar Bomb Punch shows more of a hybrid leaf structure during the vegetative growth phase. This leaf structure is somewhat thinner/slimmer than you might expect from such a relatively fast bloomer. In late growth, as well as in bloom, the leaf structure changes slightly towards the Sativa side. She remains fairly compact, which makes her easier to handle than most Sativa dominant hybrids. Her branches are strong and respond well to bending and cracking. Most phenotypes start to bud early in the flowering phase, usually after 2 to 3.5 weeks. At that time they also start producing trichomes very rapidly. After a good month of flowering the buds are already full of resin. Even the leaves seem to have been snowed under. When you touch the plants your hands and fingers stick together and you understand why we named this strain Sugar Bomb Punch. Some plants can be ready within 7.5-8 weeks, these are the fastest phenotypes. Others really need at least 8.5 to 9 weeks. Most plants remain fairly compact, so it is recommended to take this into account." "Sugar Bomb Punch has a very complex aroma. The most dominant is the fruity scent reminiscent of a sweet rose. But there are also phenotypes with a more sour, citrus or berry aroma. During flowering most plants smell very fruity and sweet. Some plants have a cherry yogurt aroma, very creamy and sweet. Once dried, the buds again have a mainly fruity and sweet character. This is accompanied with floral, creamy and berry-like notes. In terms of taste she also leans more towards the fruity side of the spectrum. Some phenotypes also have a slightly skunk-like taste, with notes of earth and grass." "Sugar Bomb Punch can grow slightly slowly in height during vegetative growth. This is because she grows in very bushy structure, compact and with a lot of leaves. That is why we recommend defoliating the plant several times during the growth phase so that the side branches and buds will receive more light. Topping or fimming is possible and will increase the yield."** **CREDIT: Dutch Passion ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~ This will be a 100% Organic grow ~ Initially seed was planted directly into the medium. ~ Planted into a 1qt. plastic pot filled with that was hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 6.5 ph. ~ Seed germinated for three days before breaking ground. ~ Grown in a 10g fabric pot filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite amended with Xtreme Gardening Mykos, Gaia Green 4-4-4 (2tbsp/g) / 2-8-4 (1tbsp/g) and 30% Worm Castings. ~ Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with Gaia Green slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~ Straight well water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ~ Grown under HLG 650R's with a 18/6 light cycle for vegetation, then 12/12 to flower with supplemental UVA added during the last weeks of flower.

I'm continuing my watering routine giving straight well water that's ph'd to 6.5-6.7 @ 70-72℉. I have switched from watering from the top to bottom watering, allowing the medium to absorb the moisture from the water which is poured into her drip pan. Today I watered the Dutch Passion Sugar Bomb Punch with .5g of straight well water that I ph'd to 6.5 @72℉. 1/19- The Sugar Bomb Punch was watered today with .5g of well water that was ph'd to 6.4 @ 72℉. This little lady is looking absolutely AMAZING now with a super healthy color and plenty of vigor! 1/21- Today, after lifting her pot, I continued my routine giving the Sugar Bomb Punch .5g of straight well water that I ph'd to 6.5 @72℉. She has abundant new growth occurring and as soon as the new shoots from where she was topped get their forth or fifth nodes on them I'll top her again for the last time. 1/23- Today I went ahead and topped the Dutch Passion Sugar Bomb Punch for the second time. I topped off six of her shoots, and will wait and see how she looks in another week or two when I'll decide whether to top her one last time or not... we'll see! Talk about lush growth... this girl has it going on! I watered the Sugar Bomb Punch today to finish out her 4th week of veg with .5g of well water to which I added 1 tbsp/g of Unsulfured Black Strap Molasses, I then ph'd it to 6.4 @ 72℉ and watered from the bottom which she sucked up in no time at all! I hope to see you next week were she'll be going into her 5th week of vegetation! I'm just waiting for her to get taller before I install the trellis and really start having some fun with this beauty! 💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow what you love, Love what you grow!💚 😎🤙❤️
