Hey now, hope everyone is having a great week. The Glueberry OG is doing well, but it has been a struggle dealing with the heat and humidity in my region during late flower. I have 2 full size basement dehumidifiers running 24X7 and am able to maintain between 42-48% RH in the tent, however the tent is running between 68-80 degrees F, and I would definitely prefer slightly cooler. It is also a bitch to empty both humidifiers twice a day to prevent them from filling up and shutting off. I could build a reservoir and run lines, but I am just done flowering in the summertime, although I said the same thing in summer 2021.
I was hoping to harvest her on 4th of July of Weekend, however her trichomes are just not ready. She is literally covered in triches, but not seeing any amber on the colas, just a couple on the leaves. So I will giver her at least another week, and hopefully harvest the following weekend. I check the trichomes every day or two and my new plan is hopefully to start the flush by the 4th depending on the trichomes and harvest the following weekend. Since I am harvesting 3 plants, if I can't get them all trimmed in a day, I plan to just go lights off for the next few days and have an auto or two still in the tent auto feeding on water only, while the Glueberry OG starts to dry, and then harvest the other's in the next couple of days. I figure as long as everything is in complete darkness, and the temp and humidity are stable, it should be fine, as some people swear by a darkness period anyways, although I have never tried it. If anyone has any experience/advice with this hit me up!
I am trying to stay patient with this lady, but I am super excited to harvest her. Her Colas just started falling to the floor of the tent yesterday as they continue to pack on weight, Fortunately I saw it via Wyze Cam and was able to tie them up before they reached the floor. This lady smells absolutely amazing, this lady reaks of earthy diesel, and juicy fruit...Super excited to smoke and squeeze some of these nugs.
The Glueberry OG Auto is the second auto I have run by Dutch Passion, the other was their Auto Blueberry which was a MASSIVE plant. I definitely prefer Photos as I enjoy mainlining etc, but as far as autos go, I have not seen any stronger genetics than Dutch Passion. I don't want to speculate on a final weight, but she has 12 mains, and I am estimating each main will be in the 1-2 zip range, and that's not even counting all the side branches. I know some people lollipop all the lower branches, but I will be happy to turn the lowers into half melt, canna-sugar,, bubble hash, full melt, rosin, etc.
I am still running the Medic Grow Spectrum X at 100% in the F1 mode and running the UV/IR bar for 120 minutes prior to lights off. So far I am super pleased with this light, for the amount of PAR she puts out, she definitely runs cool comparatively to other LED's.
Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪

@Tweezer, I haven't grown this strain but anything with OG kush is normally 👌
Dutch passion have some amazing genetics but it's been years since I grew any (the to grow list is always growing and ever changing)
I've grown purple punch from barney's farm , it was a real nice plant with a nice high and was so pretty 😍.
Have you grown barney's farm miosa evo ? I've grown maybe 10 seeds of it ,all really nice but 2 of those were very very terpy in a breath taking way , sadly I didn't keep mothers of them but it's a strain I will definitely grow and search that particular pheno out .
Have a great weekend brother.
@LittleBigTrees, Thanks much appreciated, have you ever grown these genetics and if so how was she? This is actually my first run of anything Dutch Passion, but I have heard great things about them. I am going to be popping a couple Strawberry Banana Autos from Fastbuds tomorrow and then some Gorilla Girl by Sweet sseeds and Purple Punch by Barney's Farm in another week to fill out the tent. Stay safe brother.
@Tweezer, nah, it was a freebie seed that ended up cloning itself by the dozen. lots of root seedlings popped up once flower hit with cotyledon leaves and everything. pulled one up by the stem haha
@@resimax, Thanks brother, I hope she ends up looking like your girl scout cookie clone, that would be fucking sick!!! Tough to get good clones in my region, did you grow them yourself?
With that setup 😍 you'll smash these. My friend did the auto glueberry from dutch passion and from my memory it turned out very good as with the other DP seeds (skywalker haze auto) I've seen, I'll be doing more from these guys myself. Love all the info you add, I need to get myself a uv/ir supplement light, I've got the mars ts3000 atm. Love the setup you've got, I'll get there one day lol.
@Aldo90, Much appreciated brother. Mars Hydro makes great lights for the price, my first light was a 100 Watt Spider Farmer and then i pretty much used a combination of mainly mars hydro FC 3000 and a little bit of Vipar Spectra and an occasional HPS bulb. I saw you grow in coco sometimes, did you ever set up an automatic feeding system that waters them every 6 hours or whatever? I build my own self draining saucers with a few parts you can buy off amazon and it makes life so much easier. All I do is mix a 5 gallon bucket of nutes every other day or whatever and dump it into the reservoir. I also have to clean the reservoir and pump once a week (which takes me 10-15 minutes, and also check the PH once a day and add a few drops of PH down if necessary. The most expensive part is a condensate pump that is like $120 but it is absolutely worth it. It allows the runoff to just follow gravity into a bucket in the corner of your tent, then when it gets up a few inches the pump kicks on and pumps it outside the tent to a larger runoff reservoir. I use the runoff to feed my tomatoe plants and they go crazy from it. The feeding system is just a 14 gallon reservoir with a pump and airstone hooked up to a digital timer and then a feeding line to each plant with a ballvalve to adjust the flow, and connected to a halo that goes around your plant and you can attach to the grow container. Only takes an afternoon to set up and it super worth it. I can go away for the weekend and forget about it.
If you want the website to build it hit me up, be safe brother.
@KingSalomonsWeed, thanks brother, I appreciate that, this is my first time ever trying out supplemental uv/ir but alot of the lab reports I have consistently boost thc in like clones by around 4-6% on average in a controlled environment, so I am super excited to compare the results with some same strains I previously ran.
Of course - your babies look amazing. Im in love with the hanging grow bags as well. I started strapping my bags to an old useless car port frame to get them away from the rabbits lol. Love seeing your grows. Grow on toke on! 💚
Those medic grow lights are identical to sonofarm lights. I was trying to look into it today but I couldn't find much. Literally the same light fixtures inside and out ??? Let me know how you like it
@@Billyandbarb, damn you are correct, I looked em up and I don't see any difference, maybe selling the same light under 2 brands? Not sure....I will have a much better review in a few months but so far am very happy with the Spectrum X....
@@@Billyandbarb, hey now, that's just a 200 watt panel heater I use mainly for seedlings and set to only run during lights off as supplemental heat to prevent leggy seedlings.
