Mom’s growing Dutch Passion again...

Hey, can I ask why the 3 days of darkness? Thanks!

Holy moly this looks amazing!

Impressive as f***! Well done! @Momgrowsthechronic

Great looking ladies well done👍 Hope they fatten up quickly for you in the next week.

Wow 😵 They look nice 😃 had them about two years ago 😊 Mine looked very similar 😉 Congrats on the great job 😍

They look perfect

Seedlings look lovely 🤩. And what a lovely setup. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

They already look like their going to be big ones

I knew you would be back! You must be running low on Sour Crack buds by now.

Hey moms, you did a great grow, thumbs up.

Nice haul they held their color nicely after drying. I have heard about stressing plants out to increase resin/terpene content. In the first week or two of bloom I have been using some branch pinching and something I've coined "half cropping" which is essentially super cropping to a lesser degree. Instead of bending the branch to 90 degrees I lightly roll and slightly squeeze the branch then slightly bend the branch creating some stress to the site it heals very quickly. Then using a bit of drought stress during the last stages of bloom. I've been backing my lights off during the last 10 days during ripening. I believe California LightWorks recommends decreasing the amount of red spectrum light during the ripening stage. https://news.californialightworks.com/what-is-the-best-led-spectrum-for-growing/ Although there have been some studies claiming uv-b light increases trichome/thc development no studies to my knowledge have been done to disprove that uv-a light doesn't do the same thing as uv-b. A lot of LED light manufacturers are adding uv-a to their bloom lights. I am not a chemist so I'm reaching here but I would think the 72 hours of dark would slow down or stop photosynthesis which will force the plant to stop producing chlorophyll and force it to feed or move sugars to its extremities like the leaves and buds. I would think it would be helpful in speeding up the curing process we go through getting the chlorophyll and sugars to break down to improve the over all burning/smoking quality. I would also have to say that Auto flower strains potentially may produce less terpenes than photo period strains based on how much Cannabis Ruderalis genetics they contain.

Congrats on an awesome grow. They look awesome!

"update- plants have been chopped", ha, I know that one, you're thinking 'hey I'm gonna leave it till it's fully ripe', it doesn't change much day by day then one day you walk in and suddenly everything is screaming the 'time has arrived'. It's almost magical.

@Mom, Looking fantastic, very helpful to see the last three weeks, I was thinking of chopping mine early but I might wait a bit longer.

👌🔥 this will finish amazing.

Daum! Looks amazing! Thanks for all the help. I’ll try to apply all the info next run! Thanks again! Hope you enjoy your harvest

How nice do they look 👍 yum... Well done

Wow! Very Nice! I have 2 more BBK to run any advice

Wow check the stem on that shade leaf

Had them once :) mine looked almost the same 😊 Good Luck with yours they taste fantastic
