What a wonderful little specimen Dutchy was. For Sativa lovers that like a functional high with some very tasty bud, Dutch Dragon may be right up your alley. She doesn't sport a hardy potency, but her smoke is smooth, sweet and relaxing. I've been using this girl during the day when I have tasks/agendas to attend to. It's very nice to work on, work out on or whatever you really feel like doing... She won't hold you down, but she will still give you a kickπŸ‘. Recommended for Sativa lovers with a lower tolerance and one's that are looking for a natural feeling daytime high. Give er a goπŸ‘!

Nutrients
I pretty much stopped using GHE and cut Floralicious for Liquid Weight, but Diamond Nectar and Rapid Start have been very helpful and easy to use. Probably over priced compared to other options, but it does visibly work for the girl. It's a good line for sure.
What can I say, this line just didn't mesh with me very well. I know it works for a lot of people but this didn't feel like a good fit. Micro and Bloom are serviceable, Grow is redundant and I saw little to no jam when using their Massive formula (Ended up going back to King Kola to finish them off). The only noticeable additive that worked very well was Liquid Weight and I wouldn't hesitate to pick up more of this and am looking at it for this new grow's coming Bloom. Other then LW, I'm going to move on and try a new line to see what suits me best.
Zero complaints again. Would like to expand further into their line in time. Only Cal-Mag Plus for now, but looking into their Tea Blend and a couple other additives that may assist me in future grows.
Was a 4.5 out of 5 before, now it's 5/5. King Kola saved my ass when Massive didn't' seem to be doing the trick. Girls responded immediately and started to put on noticeable weight, much quicker (not coincidence w/ timing). As for sturdy stalk, I won't be looking back with this one. It has proven to create very strong cell walls and the girls nasticity and strength (even with cola weight) is through the roof. Using this once every 2-3 feedings gave me great results and solid form. Highly, highly recommend this or something like this.
Lights
If you know me on this platform, you know I talk a lot about this lamp series. I can't get enough the SF's and picked up a second SF-2000 to complete my tent whilst outing the Phlizon 1200 Blurple. With a new module on the side for operation, dimming and inter-connectivity (plug and play) between lamps to be controlled as one, this lamp just get's better and better. Again...I'm already looking to source another SF-2000 in order to commission my new tent. Until something better (that works for my needs) comes along, this is my mainstay.
Tents
Though there were issues w/ the dual zipper flaps being a tad too rigid when I first received it, this unit has been perfectly adequate for all my needs. It's a little fortress that keeps my surrounding area clean and safe as well as keeping the girls clean and safe. No issues with zippers, flaps, functionality...nothin. Easy pick up for any grower. Oh, and no gimmicks and high prices, banking on a brand name. Just the goodsπŸ‘

Howdy all you fine folks. This is Dutch Dragons Harvest entry and the official finish line for her and Grow #3. Will format this the same as Space Cookies Harvest entry. The Deets!: This was an overall great plant to grow... She was a lot like her sister (SC) and grew very, very well. My mistakes didn't keep her down and she just kept plugging along, recovering after every misstep I took. Though her smoke isn't exactly what I was looking for, this was a great run and my first Sativa Dominant strain (testing the waters). Below I'll go over positive and negative traits noticed, a smoke report, final weights and final notes.πŸ‘ Positives: -Very versatile. Takes punches really well and rebounds like nothing happened. She took under/over feeding very well, as well and just kept forgiving me for my mistakes. Good girl. -Fantastic form and lateral strength allowing for less bracing and training. With weight on, she still held her form and needed very little intervention. -Hammy strain that moved very quickly. Vigorous for sure... She was initially 3-4 days behind her sisters but caught up and surpassed them within several days. Fresh genetics, fast popping and fast growing strain from Paradise. Very impressed with thisπŸ‘Œ. -Bud development was wonderful, packing a bunch of solid stacks throughout. Her trich dev. seemed slow at first, but in the final 3 weeks she really started to shed and got super shiny. In those last few weeks she packed on a tonne of weight and impressive trichs. -Bud is fluffy but nice and firm at the same time. Nice and squishy, with a little bit of give before coming back to her original form. Lovely. Meh's: -Was hoping to get her a bit taller and pull more product, since she was a Sativa, but she stayed short and I feel she could have been packing much more bud weight at end game then she ended up with. Just like SC, I feel this is a "Me" issue, not a genetic one. My mistakes in late veg may have stunted her a tad and I lost some potential. -That's literally it... No other meh's. She took everything very well. Yield could be better, that's it. Strain, Smoke and Product Review: -It's a great smoke, that's for sure. It isn't exactly up my alley since I'm much more of an indy/indy dom fan. That being said, I let her go a week longer then breeder projections to get more of a narcotic high. I achieved this and lost a bit of THC, but it's far more my style this way. -Not lab tested, but ball parking 17-18% THC (A little under my happy spot). The high is very clear and focused that tends to get me talking. I'm usually pretty quite when I smoke, but this is very sociable. Rolling one up on a warm day, on the deck, with a friend feels like the best way to enjoy this. -The Taste is surprisingly sweet and peppery w/ quite the kick and without a harsh cough lock. I'm a cougher, so this is rare and definitely okay with me. -All in all, a very functional and serviceable strain that I wouldn't hesitate to suggest to those that like a little more Sativa in their smoke. As for me? I could see myself growing her again cause sometimes I don't want all couch/cough lock. This is a nice strain to have in the collection for when I want/need er. I don't have complaints!πŸ˜ƒ The Numbers (Popcorn/LARF numbers are halved in the "Outcome" portion of this entry as I personally don't believe in counting it as whole bud, quality or not. The numbers below are higher then the outcome, but these are the true product numbers pulled): Jar #1 Whole Bud): 28 Grams (1 ounce) Jar #2 (Whole Bud): 28 Grams (1 ounce) Jar #3 (Whole Bud): 28 Grams (1 ounce) Jar #4 (Popcorn/LARF): 24 Grams (.86 ounce) Total Product: 108 Grams (3.86 ounce) **Happy with these numbers. Could be higher, but I'm cool with almost 4 Ounce. Was looking for 3, so this is a win.** Grow #2 vs Grow #3: -Used Green Planet nutrient line and dropped GHE (except for Diamond Nectar and Rapid Start) -Inclusion of a second SF-2000 at the beginning of Bloom and decommissioning of the Phlizon 1200 Blurple -More soil aeration by conditioning with more perlite and peat moss substrate. -More circulation added into the unit to keep things moving and breathing. -Better bracing in place and planned further ahead of time. -Even with big Veg mistakes, I cut a full week off of veg. The SF and advanced nutrient schedule are to thank for that. Looking for a 6 week flip near future. Final Thoughts: At the end of the day, I'm very happy with these genetics, product and yield. There is no doubt that this is quality, even if it's not my exact style of smoke. She grew very well w/ very little issues. I would definitely throw another Dutchy in for a future grow to try and pump my numbers a little better and develop her terp profile/taste a bit more. Happy! Good stuffπŸ‘ Thank you ALL for this 18 week venture and for all your support through the good and bad times. I got to the end with this grow because of all the helped I received on here... If I was left to my own devices and books, I'm positive it would NOT have turned out as good as it did. Hell! I thought I was going to lose too of them, but here we are with a full harvest. Thank you, thank you, thank you for watching, supporting and guiding me to this successful end w/ the best bud I've grown yet. Cheers all you happy grow guys and girls. Keep Cannabis Culture Alive! Keep Paying it Forward!✊

Starting to select next grow genetics. I know half of what I want but have a short list of the others. Main one I'm looking at is an OG gelato. Have you grown it? What's it like and what bank would you suggest. International is fine with me. Thanks in advance.

I did grow gelat. Og. From seedsman and it was an easy, fun plant to grow. Lovely unique and unusual kushy flavour but not the strongest weed at all. Bubba kush is one I've heard nice things about too. The runtz from zamnesia is getting me excited, going to flip to flower soon! πŸŒ±πŸ‘

Guess that she doesn’t store enough water in her leaves and stem. You can either the environment or train her to adapt. For young seedlings, I use small battery operated water pump with timer. On the other hand, what doesn’t kill her will make her stronger ????

@Med_in_Tropic, You're correct, me thinks. I just gave a good feed and upped my P w/ an adequate amount of Cal/Mag. I feel the root system isn't defined enough to support the top side growth... So your idea is the way to go. Slowing down the heavy N/K and going back to work on the roots for a bit. Thanks so much man. I thought about what to do, a lot. But this seems like the right path to take. Cheers for the guidanceπŸ‘πŸ‘
JinksyGrows
JinksyGrows
@Med_in_Tropic, I totally I agree. I think her root system is still beyind/damaged. I threw in bone meal and have been dosing some Cal/mag. I'm hoping it just catches up so it can properly support the top side growth. Requires more patience. Not my best suit, hahaha.

What is the purpose of your Bamboo sticks? Is that just for branch support during the late stages?
DeepRootGrows
DeepRootGrows
@JinksyGrows, that’s a great idea. That is one thing I hate about skrog is it’s impossible to move the plant for sometime.
JinksyGrows
JinksyGrows
@DeepRootGrows, For mobility I use bamboo sticks instead of a scrogg. It's more work, but I'm able to move them around as I pleaseπŸ‘. I insert the bamboo when I do final pot up, into the new soil where there is no root system yet. I use it at first to train the plants outwards and inner laterals into open positions. When I flip, I remove most the training wires and then use the bamboo to brace them inwards over time. As the stretch continues, I can see what and where I need to make adjustments. During flower, none of the new wires are pulling, just bracing the laterals in place. Holds the flower weight very well and I can use them to create an even canopy and adjust as neededπŸ‘. This is all to avoid scrogging, for mobility. Can be a pain in the ass too, though. Haha!πŸ˜…
