Blue Applez Dutch Passion

Prof_Weed Top, already in the final pot and fimmed after 10 days. The soil is a mix of Plagron Lightmix + Hydromix. Hope it smells and tastes like apple and gets blue leaves, that would be a dream. PPFD 270 and VPD at 0.7, everything optimal.

Prof_Weed Yaaa!! Exactly 2 weeks old and healthy as fuck. She responded phantastic to the fimming, i don't know why everybody iz topping hehe.. 2 new shoots are coming up and the leaf color is more than perfect. I sprayed 2 times this week, directly when the lights turned out so the stomata are still open.. Dutch Pro Leaf Green 1x And BIONOVA Silution/The Missing Link/ X-Cel 1x = she don't need it but she loves it, and i love it too!! Already turned the Autopot on, it is just an Experiment this round. But it works, no handwatering, no guessing. No Bugs here, these fuckers can kiss my ass. And i turned a Ventilator on too, every hour it blows for 20 minutes, just to stroke her a little bit and to strengthen the stems. Shake it Baby. Super strong genetics, Dutch Passion = Dutch Power! Excellent I want to have blue leaves and Apple flavour in my tent, that's the goal. And i will get it, that's foo sure.

Prof_Weed Yeah, it's going really well, the plant is healthy! I use 20% tap water and 80% osmosis water from Watertrim, then I mix in either Silution from Bionova or Silicate Terra Aquatica and then add the fertilizer. The Fimming and the early activation of the Autopots have been accepted really well. I've also increased the EC to 1.35 and the PPFD (now at 360). I removed a few mini shoots that were at the bottom as well as a few leaves that were blocking the growth underneath and brought everything almost to the same level with LST. One of the two top main shoots unfortunately didn't make it. Where there's chopping, there are shavings 🌱🌱 The genetics are great for bending and shaping; since I only have 2 plants, I'm training them to grow wider and letting them grow longer. I'm very satisfied with Dutch Passion, they germinate reliably after 3 days and grow very healthily. So far, this is my best result in terms of growth in the Autopots after 3 weeks; it's the third time I'm using the system.

Prof_Weed Although it's 1 day too early, we have officially reached week 4. I'm very satisfied with the structure from the early LST; I want it to be a wide plant so that the tent is evenly filled in width and the buds are at the same height. Since there are only 2 plants in the 80x150 tent... I have a ton of space in the tent. Additionally, I will use the new scrog net, but that's for later. Here and there, I removed a leaf and a mini shoot, and this week I did a foliar feeding twice. Dosage: 1x Dutch Pro Leaf Green 1ml/L 1x Bionova Silution 1.5/X-Cel 2.5 / The Missing Link 2.5 ml/Liter as a foliar spray. Thanks to the foliar feeding, I have a leaf color that is stunningly beautiful and perfect. What I also really like: this is now my 3rd run in the Autopots, and it's getting better every time. This time, I activated the Autopot system including the Airdomes earlier. And compared to the previous 2 runs, they are about 1.5 weeks more developed. One could definitely say: The plants grow stronger and faster due to the self-watering system, plus it requires less work... In the future, I will personally only water by hand for the first 2.5 - 3 weeks and then activate the Autopot system. EC is now at 1.65, pH at 6.1 in the reservoir (while the actual pH value in the tray is at 6.4). I also added a bit of Oxyplus from Guard n Aid to the water to enrich the oxygen. I increased the VPD to 0.9/1.0 since they are now in the growth phase and will go into bloom in 5 weeks. Until then, I won't change anything about the VPD; the plant should have constant values. The VPD at night is nearly the same as during the day, just a bit lower due to a 3-degree difference, set cooler with the controller/heater. I've gradually increased the PPFD every day and am now at 575 (DLI = 37.62). I turned off the humidifier and instead integrated the dehumidifier into the AC Infinity AI system. I'm managing well with the ACI AI. I turned off the humidifier because the humidity is high enough due to the rainy season; the relative humidity was also too high at times. Now that the plant is bigger, a little air exchange doesn't hurt. I'll let them grow properly until 7.11 and then switch to bloom after my vacation. There should already be 100g dry at 9 weeks of the vegetative phase. I couldn't spot any fungus gnats or other pests anywhere. Really good. What's also great: in the previous 2 runs, I always had algae formation at the beginning, which was definitely due to the BudCups from Budtrainer and their materials. This time, I left those out, and there are no algae on the surface. Extremely good when you can always learn something new and improve! Everything is going according to plan. I love it.

Prof_Weed Yeah, all good, everything is going as it should! The plant is super healthy and is drinking a bit more now. I increased the EC and continued training the plant, also removed a few leaves. PPFD is around 615, next week I'll increase the light intensity a bit more. I'll let her grow for about 4 more weeks, which will be 9 weeks of the vegetative phase. Since I'm going on vacation from October 26th for 2 weeks, I'll flip after that to better observe the stretch. Thanks to Dave Boom from Dutch Passion for the seeds!

Prof_Weed Now in the 6th week of vegetation and everything is perfect. Growth, shape, leaf color everything as it should be! No deficiencies or pests to be seen. VPD at 1.0 and PPFD at 680, extremely good how everything is going. The night temperature / humidity is almost like during the day, so they don't stretch either. Here and there a few leaves or mini shoots removed and the structure shaped with the sticks and BudClips. I will let them grow exactly until 7.11., in 10 days it's off for 2 weeks on vacation. But that's the genius of the Autopots, just set everything and let it grow. Just need to fill the reservoir with 40 liters and raise the light a little so they don't burn. I'm very satisfied, let's keep going.. P.s. Apparently, there are cops around sniffing around stupidly, only post what you are allowed to and go encrypted on the net..

Prof_Weed All good things come in 3! This is my 3rd grow in the Autopots and I have to say it just keeps getting better! It was the right decision to turn on the system after just 2 weeks, because with the automatic watering, the plant simply grows better. And starting the training from week 3 as well. I'm going to do it this way from now on! I've also reduced the PPFD from 750 back to 630 and raised the light so that it grows more upwards towards the light. Everything is working flawlessly. I've installed the scrog net and placed it where the plant gets 750 PPFD again. Also for protection, because I don't know how it will go since I'm going on vacation for 2 weeks. If it should reach the net, it will be slightly stopped... It definitely shouldn't burn, because it has an extremely healthy, dark green leaf color and is super healthy. I've also done foliar feeding several times with Leaf Green from Dutch Pro and X-Cel and The Missing Link from Bionova. Additionally, I've put in some CO2 bags and integrated the AC Infinity CO2 sensor into the AI system. The dehumidifier logically also sucks out CO2, but strangely, the CO2 level increases when I briefly open the tent. Day/night settings for temperature and humidity are roughly the same, so they aren't stretching too much upwards. VPD during the day: 1.0, 1.1. VPD at night: 0.9, so just 1 degree cooler and slightly more humid. I've removed side branches and small mini buds that would never make it upwards. Also, many fan leaves that cover everything below are gone. The very bottom leaves have also been removed, which basically don't get any light anymore and no longer contribute to photosynthesis. This should also allow a bit better air to reach the lower parts of the plant. The new Dutch Passion genetics Blue Applez is also excellent, growing a bit better than the Fastbuds Orange Sherbet FF... It shapes and trains super well. I will fill the Autopot reservoir up to a max of 47 liters, which should be enough for the 2 plants. I'm already preparing the nutrient solution now, 2 days in advance, to set everything perfectly for the 2 weeks. The 150cm wide tent will definitely be well filled after my vacation, and it will be a real jungle of leaves. After that, I'll do some serious defoliation, 3 days of recovery, and then into flowering. I hope it gets cooler then, as they will be in bloom 2 weeks later (in winter)...
