Staggered start to the 3 autos but that's only for breeding purposes. I plan on using sts spray to reverse the first one so I gave it a two week + 2 day head start. Full tutorial of the germination process is viewable on the video posted here and my youtube channel, link is on my profile if you care to watch it there, I found the loading screen for the video rather tedious on here.. Happy growing!
Good start everybody's happy, vitals are good! The doner plant is really starting to take off, I'll be using sts this time around instead of the exe but the reversal principles remain the same. Just working on the wording for the instructional video that I'll be doing detailing everything, should be rather helpful stay tuned!
Started spraying the donor plant couple days ago she was starting to show signs of entering flower. I'll be using sts for this one and spraying every 3 days till she shows balls. Shout out to the guys over at silverthiosulfate.ca for hooking up the breeders pack. Amazing people, if you're thinking of making your own fems I would suggest reaching out. Not only do they stand behind the products but they'll answer any questions you have to make sure you have your best chance at success.
The growth was phenomenal on all the plants this week, judging by the color of the leaves I should be able to start feeding these plants sooner rather than later. I don't mind this one bit it just means they're going to have an explosive few weeks if I keep things dialed in the way they are.
I was so busy harvesting the last auto and taking clones from my photoperiod I have on the go I forgot to take pics this week. I recycled two from last week and scrounged together the other two that I did manage to take. Kinda chapped about that but it happens sometimes, in lieu of beautiful plant pics I give you a biden meme which directly reflects my actions this week. :) Happy growing!
This plant is an absolute monster! I need to move it over to the bigger room asap the spider farmer is starting to be a bit much at that distance. Dutch passion killed it with this one excited to see what flower development looks like. Some small ph issues but that's because my blue lab is over 2 years now and I've dropped it a few times. It was a wonderful instrument while it lasted but I'll be going with the milwakee102 meter going forward as it has replaceable heads for a considerably cheaper price. Can't wait till it shows up and I can compare readings to see how far off they are. I'm contemplating topping the smaller plants based off of the structure of the older plant but I haven't fully decided yet.
Been a great week of growth, I'm super impressed with the size of this auto it's an absolute monster the image with with tent behind it was taken on day 44 which is insane to think about. The folks at Dutch passion knew what they were doing when they made this monster!
Pods started to open on the male, should see pollen dropping within the next couple of days. Blows me away that the donor plant is breaking 50" in such a short time these are definitely as advertised. Hats off to the folks at Dutch passion on this one!
Excellent week of growth, we're in the second week of flower on the two little ones so I have begun the pollination process. The donor plant is almost as tall as me now it's ridiculous how big this plant gets. If I was doing a flower run Id have a staggering amount of cannabis at the end, as it is I have enough pollen to impregnate all of Canada lol, best steer clear of my facility lest you want a baby :)
Pollenated for three days, took a funny photo shoot of the donor plant and tossed it. Let the plants marinate for a day, gutted the bloom room, scrubbed every inch of it down and moved the photos over there to finish, they were getting to tall for my 4x4. Put the Auto ultimates in their new home and they seem to be loving the spider farmer.

Girls got a bit of a hair cut today they were way to bushy, wasn't getting the light penetration I wanted plus the air circulation was getting poor, so in the interest of plant health I did a major defoliation. I suspect my actions today will add a week to flower but at any rate it was for the best and I welcome the additional week knowing what its done for my end game. After the torture session she got the full array of nutrients and a little bit of kelp to assist with the added stress. Great week for the girls otherwise!
I ducking love these plants! They have the most beautiful structure and the smell is the perfect intrusion on my face holes.. The plant on the left is starting to take on some purples that are going to be quite exquisite. I just might laminate some photos of them in the future to hang around the grow room, making the other girls jealous and as such they will produce a cornucopia of buds just for me! The best part about this is the envy adds an extravagant flavor to the cannabis that was previously unattainable by other cultivators.. Now you know and knowing is half the battle!
My least favorite part of the grow, the waiting. Routines remain optimal they get water and food everyday at 5pm, foliage is at an acceptable level and needs no maintenance at this time, air flow is good, humidity on point. It's super lame right now honestly..
Excellent week of growth the other plant is starting to take on some of the purple that the first one was expressing. The smell is really starting to take over its hard to pinpoint currently what it is exactly because of the other plants I have in close proximity. I'll have to perform a stem rub test to be certain, which I'll save for the next journal entry so stay tuned.. Happy growing all you legends!
In the home stretch! Not much for buds on these girls but they're putting a lot of energy into seeds so that's to be expected. Beautiful fruity aroma on a plant that's just days away from harvest!
The auto ultimate is definitely one of the frostier autos that I have grown. The fades starting to set in you know what that means! The website advertises 12-15 weeks I'm assuming that's from seed so subtracting 4 weeks for veg that puts it at 8-11 week flower. Basic math indicates I can harvest any day now dependent on some key factors.
Last week.. I did a heavy trim on the upper foliage to help cook some of the lower leaves before I take old yeller out into the woods for her last walk.
There's a few things I'd do differently next time but overall I'm very pleased with the performance of these plants. As previously stated they're one of the frostier variety's of autoflowers and I have no doubts she'll deliver when it comes time to smoke. Good job to the folks over at Dutch passion for creating such a wonderful specimen!
