Dutch Automatic Outdoor

2020-10-04 Heavy rains for a week have called for harvest. The gigantic buds on this plant have gotten so saturated that some branches have broke, only the main stalk has support so this was inevitable with these monster colas. Harvested over a period of three days after work, washed in 3% H2O2 water solution mixed at 1 cup to 5 gallons, followed by a plain water wash. Hung to dry for an hour or two with a fan then wet trimmed with a Bowl Trimmer and dried for 4-5 days in hanging baskets. Final result is 1262g of bud, that’s right 2.78 lbs of dank buds! They’re going to be cured in two 5 gallon pales for a couple weeks with an auto curing system and then I plan on vac sealing about 1/2 based on recommendations by @hellishjam and @greenhouselab. Super aromatic strain and the smell and buds fit the description on Spliffs website “ buds are compact and heavy with a fruity, floral, skunky smell“. The ruderalis gene must have stayed dormant, I’m not a botanist but I’ve had autos not flower automatically pretty much from every breeder Ive tried so I know it happens from time to time. I’ve got 2 beans left and I will be popping them next year to see if this monster was a fluke or not. Anyway all in all this plant was a beast! No nutes or water throughout the grow, the only intervention was supporting the main stalk at about the 6 ft point and then spraying with ACV/water mixture to combat WPM. You can from the rest of my diaries that WPM is prevalent in my area and as for natural resistance I’d give this strain a 7/10. She got hit by WPM but not terribly bad compared to other strains, and taking into account that she was the closest plant to a severely infected tree shows that she is pretty resistant. I will update taste/effects in a couple weeks!
