Passion Fruit

She’s off to a beautiful start. When she has 5 sets of leaves (or when she shows deficiencies) I’ll adjust her nutrients to about 2x current strength. In 2018 at the first ‘Copa Del Sol’ Cannabis Cup in Lima, Peru, Dutch Passion won 1st Prize in the Outdoor category with Passion Fruit.

Wow she’s looking awesome. Her stem is nearly as thick as a #2 pencil. You can see her lower branching in the photos. So far so good. I’m so glad to be off to a great start.

I super cropped her top and tied it over with a twist tie. I did this to discourage her from growing taller on the main stem while encouraging her side branches to get taller. As usual I will flower her when she’s about 24 inches.

I put her in flower (last few pictures) on Friday December 20th she was about 25” tall. I supercropped her once and she’s rewarded me with many tall side branches. I’ve seen reports of 35% thc from this strain!

She is growing so well. I’ve still not done anything to her training wise. She should probably start with bud production by the end of this week. I cloned her before I put her in flower.

I’ve outgrown the 4x8 tent and have graduated to a 6x10 room. Everyone was so crowded that some of the side branches were not able to support their own weight! I directed fans to the weaker branches and they seem to be stiffening up well. I may have to add a support scrog.

She is stretching for the lights and really branching out. I’ve lollipopped the lower 24” or so. She has just begun making bud sets towards the end of the week.

She looks awesome lots of tall branches. Flowers are starting to form at the bud sites. She is stretching really well, not sure if she will hit the 5’ mark but I suspect she will be close

She’s still stretching! We are at 57” and growing. I’m not sure how much more she will stretch but if she gets over 65-66” I’ll have to bend (supercrop) her over so she’s not blocking the light.

Buds are really starting to fill in. I think stretching is over. She is 62” and the light is hung at 72” and she looks great! I did some more defoliation this week and increased the pk.

I increased the PK again this week. She is developing nicely I don’t think I’m ready to start flushing her yet going to keep pumping the PK in for another week or so until she’s closer to ripening.

I started her flushing this week. I think she wants another week to ripen so I don’t plan to chop her until next Saturday (29/2). She is still filling in the runs on her tops. Two weeks ago I wouldn’t have thought she could but there’s been plenty of calyx growth and the runs are nearly gone 😃.

I checked her trichs and I’m confused 😂. Have a look and see what you think. The trichs photo was 19/2/2020. I think I’ll harvest her 22/2/2020.

I wish grow diaries would update the math for harvest. My flowering room is 50sqft. I light with 1200 watts of power. This is 24 watts per sqft. The plant covered 4sqft so light usage was 96 watts (4x24). Gram per watt should be 1.36 (130.1/96). I believe that if you input canopy size for grow room size the remaining calculations would be correct.
