Auto Skywalker 2 (Grow 5)

einamio 📅 W2V1 📏 8 cm ☀️ 45W 55cm 📝 June 17-23 Day 8 Last watering was 100ml yesterday. Day 9 She looks well on track. This week brought rains and raised humidity outside. Day 10 Should check and water her tomorrow. I noticed in the last couple of days she has "praying leaves" before the lights go off. I heard that could mean she tries to minimize her light coverage because it might be too intense. But she looks quiet healthy imo, so I just keep observing. Day 11 175ml with rj drops beore sleep Day 12 For some reason the new leaves are different in size Day 13 I was out 😴💤 Day 14 250ml more, third week here we go, LST or topping if I'm brave comes next week, stay tuned 😸

einamio 📅 W3V2 📏 8 cm ☀️ 45W 55cm 📝 June 24-30 Day 15 Week three here we go! Day 16 Welp, LST'd her since she was growing fast. That's the earliest I have ever applied bending, let's see if she won't mind or it is better to wait until she's a few more days older. Day 17 I touch her too much :) She wants me to leave her alone. Gave 250ml before sleep with a drop of fm. She takes the place under the sun. Day 18 Poor girl Day 19 Trying my best to control her twisting so that all the nodes face up towards the light Day 20 Forgot to take her picture Day 21 Week 3 done. Not sure if early lst did any good

einamio 📅 W4V3 📏12 cm ☀️ 45W 55cm 📝 July 1-7 So GD was not working properly and some of the updates got lost, I also left for a couple of days away at the end of the week. Day 22 😴💤 Day 23 😴💤 Day 24 500ml with RJ in Day 25 😴💤 Day 26 😴💤 Day 27 😴💤 Day 28 😴💤

einamio 📅 W5V4 📏15 cm ☀️ 45W 55cm 📝 July 8-14 Day 29 I came back, she ripped away the metal bracket that was holding her. I will fix everything tomorrow as well give her some feed. Day 30 Day 32 Day 34 1500ml fed Day 35

einamio 📅 W6V5 📏15 cm ☀️ 45W 55cm 📝 July 15-21 I'm kinda down and don't want to keep these diaries anymore. My second auto skywalker from dutch passion turned out to be a true hermaphrodite with both female and male flowers. I hope it's just genetics fault. It's still alive, I plucked all the pollen sacs out and watch it closely everyday. If it develops the same stinky smell as the first seed from the batch I will not hesitate to kill it as well. Me wanting to test new breeder turned out to be a catastrophe so far. I don't think I will ever buy seeds from dp again. 1 seed out of 4 didn't germinate, 2 turned out to be hermies, and the last one is only 7 days old so far, so time will tell, but I had much better results being a complete noob with RQS, so no bueno. Day 38 About 1500ml given of leftovers. Day 41 I spent a couple of days plucking out everything I could find resembling pollen sacs or pollinated calyxes. So far no obvious balls seen and the smell starts to develop, but so far it smells ok. About to give her ~2L. Day 42 Defoliated, drip fed her, she liked that. It's sad that it's a hermie because it's gonna grow into a big plant. Still no smell developed.

einamio I guess I will wait a couple of weeks more, plucking everything suspicious looking, while she develops her smell to decide if she should go. I'm concerned that I'm the only one that seem to have problem with this strain while everybody else seem to enjoy big tasty feminized ladies. Day 44 drip fed her 2.5L 0.8EC, 450ml runoff 1.6EC. Removed a couple of lower nodes and a few leaves covering buds. So far no pollen sacs noticed. She stretches nicely wide, It will be a pity to kill such a beautiful structured plant if she keeps throwing nanners. Day 48 I keep removing swollen seedy bracts with brown shriveled pistils. I haven't yet seen more pollen sacs . Where does the pollen keep coming from? I already cleaned the tent and sprayed water... The smell seems to be more pleasant so far with some pine notes but it's still faint.

einamio Day 50 Water 2500ml, I should've given more calmag - there are signs of developing deficiency but now I have to wait until she dries. Day 51 I removed her top bud because it was all pollinated, even the part that's left looks half seedy, so I might have to remove it too. The rest looks ok so far. I keep looking for nanners or balls, but havanet yet found new ones. I guess I will have to let her grow because these 3 seeds destroyed my perpetual growth and I'm running out of product. She smells more piney. This grow and strain is a pain in the ass tbh. I guess no more Dutch Passion for me, thank you. I mean I have only myself to blame for buying their seeds but... First they leak all the email addresses taking part in their contest, then their seeds herm on me pollinating everything and now they are sending me emails asking why haven't I yet joined their contest and threaten to "exclude me from future competitions" if I don't communicate with them. Royal Queen Seeds came to the rescue and saved the day basically sending me a bunch of gifts with their awesome genetics, just because I've already grown their beautiful and tasty plants and made some pics 😻 I will share the story in a future diary. Just wanted to share a comparison of customer relations... Day 52 Made some more close-ups. So it seems that the plant has most pollinated pistils on the left side, with most white hairs being on the buds on the right side. The fan blows from the left... so there must be something in the top (most left) buds that spreads pollen but I can't find it ffs. Day 53 This plant makes me paranoid. I decided to remove the two most top buds because the were developing lots of seeds. I couldnt find the culprit. Day 55 She doent look good. I removed 2 more seedy buds from the top cola and a few leaves... She was thirsty, should've watered her yesterday, but gave her now 2500ml with calmag and bioheaven ph 6.3 Day 56 one more week survived

einamio Day 59 I think I keep cutting something off of her everyday, mostly swollen bracts with tiny green seeds inside... I completely removed the top cola because it was all terribly pollinated. I'm still not able to find where the pollen is coming from... Day 59 I'm moving her to another tent. It's time to water again. Day 60 2500ml cm bg bb bh Day 61 I can't get over how these dp skywalkers screwed me... Day 63 I've removed more leaves... She looks beat up but I think she's enjoying her new solitary confinement. Bulking up.

einamio Day 66 Welp she looks rough, I had to remove a lot of leaves because of the deficiency. Day 69 More leaves removed. Need to water her asap but I'm exhausted, she needs to wait another day... It looks like the pollination has stopped for now.

einamio Week 11 Day 71 Probably our last week together. Day 72 I had to harvest her today. She could have handled a week or two more but I had enough :) Trichomes were mostly milky with some still transparent unfortunately, I guess I will soon find out what an early harvest does to potency :) In terms of smell it smells much better than the first skywalker, with more clear notes of pine and citrus but it's still far from what I like. I didn't weight in wet, I will create a harvest week closer to end of drying.

einamio So after 72 days I dried her up for a week. I ended up getting about 25g dry, which I consider a good result because I had some pollen sacs at the beginning of flowering, and I had to cut off the main cola because of the seeded buds at a later stage.
