I decided to try a new breeder and chose Auto Skywalker Haze by Dutch Passion. I expect some fruitful relationship :)

02.05 Sowed directly in 8L pot
06.05 Successfully germinated
Day 1 So she popped out wearing her helmet, first I tried sprinkling water on her to let it loose, and a few hours later I helped a bit with a tiny soft brush but it was holding strong.
Day 2 The seed shell wasn't going off without a fight, it was quiet stuck but I finally won. Unfortunately one of cotyledons inside was dead...
Day 3 I can't really tell if she's stunned or making progress...
Day 4 The world around is hostile dry like 35%, so I kept her under a plastic dome for the first few days. I should call her Nemo because of the "lucky fin" 😸
Day 5 And we're going
Day 6 Nemo is gonna be my DP test run :)
Day 7 200ml with root juice. Next stop veg town 🙌

Day 8 Humidity is all time low
Day 9 About to give her another 250ml with root juice
Day 10 Why do leaves twist? Low humidity or wrong pH?
Day 11 😴💤
Day 12 All good
Day 13 She looks happy and up to speed. Soil still a bit damp.
Day 14 Let's go week 3, she seems to be the most developed out of all my plants by this day.

Day 15 She's growing good, gave her another 200ml with some more root juice.
Day 16 She's bigger than any of my plants by day 16 so far. Looks almost ready for LST.
Day 17 Looks fine
Day 18 😴💤
Day 19 LST time 😇
Day 20 She recovered, I adjusted the bracket a bit more.
Day 21 I will give her another day before second bracket. 3 weeks done 👍

Day 22 Bending and tucking, keeping her spread...
Day 23 Same thing... Reminder to give her water tomorrow.
Day 24 250ml with drops of RJ and BG.
Day 25 Two more brackets installed. She has some tip burns. It seems light-mix might be a bit hot for her.
Day 26 More spreading and tucking. Some leaves about to get cut.
Day 27 250ml with a drop of RJ.
Day 28 Week 4 done.

Day 29 About 300ml water given. Some ties applied and brackets removed.
Day 30 Trying to keep her level and wide.
Day 31 She looks a bit sad, maybe needs some more water or maybe just switching to bloom...
Day 32 I don't want to water her because her soil still feels a bit damp, but she's not her happiest for sure.
Day 33 ~1500ml (1 tap/1 dis), drop bh, ph 6.2 ppm 290 ec 0.5, 300ml runoff ppm 1190 ec 2.3
Day 34 She keept her summertime sadness. Tied the main cola.
Day 35 End of week 5, and we're into Bloom.

Day 36 And we're into flowering. She's not her happiest as far as I can tell by the leaves, I guess she just doesn't like me. I was about to grow Orange Bud Auto next but for some reason the seed didn't germinate, so I started another Skywalker and today her sister sprouted, I wonder if I should just let her grow straight. About to water Nemo tomorrow. Peace 😘
Day 37 ~1800ml given with drops of cm and bh. Half distiled so ppm/ec was low 264/0.5 runoff 400ml pH 6.5 ppm/ec 850/1.7
Day 38 She looks better today.
Day 39 She blooms.
Day 40 All good.
Day 41 😎
Day 42 Should water her tomorrow.

Day 43 2000ml given with some drops of nutes. runoff hot.
Day 44 She seems to be doing alright
Day 45 Selectively removed some leaves to make her pass more air and light, it was getting a bit too crowded and humid.
Day 46 She has some nice big flowers forming with white fat pistils. The pot felt light before lights went off, so I might water her tomorrow.
Day 47 She doesn't look thirsty and her pot is still a bit heavy so I water her Sunday
Day 48 I'm out 😴💤
Day 49 2000ml in / 450ml out, almost no feed 0.8 EC, runoff EC 1.3. Also removed quiet a few leaves that were getting wet down below, as well as a couple of just forming flowers that to me look like they won't have enough time to develop and will just suck the energy from the rest.

Day 50 She looks fine to me. Maybe not too many flowers bud they look like they gonna bulk up heavily. We'll see.
Day 51 Heat wave coming.
Day 52 So her neighbour Orion decided to hermie,I think I found some developing seeds, so she/he was abruptly harvested. Hope the pollen didn't reach Nemo :) Also removed some leaves.
Day 53 All good
Day 54 About 3000ml in, her leaves were "erect" I guess she enjoyed becoming the biggest plant in the tent and the removal of her hermie friend, she became stressed from watering for a bit but quickly restored.
Day 55 All good
Day 56 👌She's starting to produce smell. Not sure if I like it so far. The third seed didn't germinate like the other two after 4 days in soil. Orange Bud was also a failure. I guess I will have to try other breeders. Unless this strain ends up beeing amazing I don't think I will be growing dp anymore. 50% germination rate is not for me. I had 100% with rqs.

How could you Nemo... So my first DP plant was a failure. Day 70 I had to kill the 1st Skywalker... I was suspecting something was off but couldn't figure it out due to lack of experience. I found lots of seeds in the buds. I didn't think it was possible to pollinate so many pistils without me noticing a male flower (pollen sac). So I started digging inside the plant. At first I was suspecting the previous grow (Orion F1 from RQS) but then I found a few opened up sacs of its own. So she was abruptly thrown into trash before she pollinated the 2nd Skywalker. The second seed in the batch actually started growing balls of her own day 30-35. The main reason I killed the first plant so quick - I hated the smell... it was nowhere near lemon/berries as described by other growers and the breeder, it was something earthy/choco/nutty/spicy/yuck. So no regrets except 70 days spent. I'm gonna see how the other two skywalkers develop, but so far bad experience...
Failed unfinished grow with seedy buds day 70. I trusted the genetics too much and wasn't paying attention.
I got about 100 hermie seeds, I guess I could start selling them, just as Dutch Passion does. Some of them are probably immature but it's not "a couple missed seeds", it's a hundred...
Gonna keep those for my growing experiments [*laughs like a mad man] 👹
So sad, to the seeds: Definetly useless. Will be more males and females probably herming a lot. Saw so many hermis from dutch passion autoflowers in the last days, its crazy. Seems like that brand doesnt give a fck about giving out hermis.
@einamio, I wont say its a bad seedbank, but like others they just want to join the hype on autoflowers. Fastbuds is imo the best way to go, if you want to do autos. They do its best, good luck 👍 Thanks for the answer mate🙏😅
@modmyplants, thank you for comments and answers, bud, I might germinate a few seeds to practice some hst or smth, but I'm not gonna spend more money on dp for sure. Which is unfortunate because I had high hopes for them judging by some of the diaries here and their looks. Gonna try fastbuds now to recover :) All the best mate!
@allways_beginner, thank you for the support, growmie! I kept maybe less than 10 seeds, tbh I don't know what for, maybe just for an experiment outdoors, but I've read they tend to herm as well. And because I didn't like the smell I threw the rest of the plant away... I'm not gonna smoke it. I have two more skywalkers day 36 and day 8 to see if it's dutch passion's fault or my bad gardening :)
