Dutch Passion's Auto Black Berry Kush
took about 3 days for the bean to crack the soil
this strain was a real winner on a few previous occasions, although usually run in the colder seasons to promote anthocyan.
berry exited to see her back in the sun a tough strain that takes most things in her stride should be a fair test of the current setup :)
The return of the prodigal bud Dutch Passions Black Berry Kush is a long time favourite, due to its quick finish and fantastic terpene profile not to mention she delivers a technical knockout.
unfortunately she prefers to be run winter but why wait 😅. the room has ben fairly consistent 25-29.c, she is not into it and it shows she is not very tall for her age. she is usually of a smaller variety anyway but almost always first to finish. just very happy to have her home where she belongs 😍. might go in for some slightly advanced training as familiarity brings confidence and previous encounters with these genes have proven bondage to be quite a successes story.
on a side note the extraction was yet again redrafted (the perils of imperfect places) although temporary the extraction now makes use of a plumbers access point inside the space.
extracted air is pushed into the wall and floor cavity although fairly effective the solution is not perfectly air tight. its temporary however soon a more advanced silent set up will be installed ....
unfortunately her recovery from the heatwave in her infancy has been a little slow,
to be honest its a little disappointing as previous harvest of this variety have been particularly special.
that said they were all winter harvest in attempts to amplify the anthocyan reaction, perhaps she will be happier next time.
their has been some slow vertical growth and with a little tucking she looks like a bonsai job .... but a very nice bonsai 😅...
so their has been some good news a partial recovery mostly due to the lower temperatures the last week but she still has a long way to go.
she appears to be building very leafy bud structure perhaps a mutation certainly not how she usually looks at this age.
other than the slightly depressed look she feels fairly healthy and the colas are fairly even in height i doubt she would enjoy training much.
she has sulked along slowly but surely ... the nugs are small fluffy things, ohhhh boy do they stink they are almost dripping with a thick resin first just broad pine smell then it started to develop some off the dark berry flavour that makes this variety such a favourite so regardless of the yield its set to be a good smoke
hopefully she tightens up a bit ...
the trichomes are looking stunning some even have pigment in the trichome stem.... pink hash ....
real has been a bit of a shambles as a long time favourite their was high hopes for this girl and to her credit she has struggled through the camera is a bit shit so doesn't do her beauty any justice she is very dark purple and has an intensely overpowering smell of berry, hash, pine and some fuel notes that had was less present in previous runs first time seeing this pheno so hopefully she is as good as she usually is
trichs look like week 11 will be water so not long now
The personal favourite so far Black Berry Kush crosses hard hitting classic Blueberry and original landrace Hindu Kush
(night time smoke be careful)
she likes it cold and expects good care but boy oh boy does she give you that result
the terpene profile varies slightly from one seed to another but is always a robust combination of
pine, fuel, grape, berry, blackcurrant. cherry, kush, hash, earth and sometimes candy
a strong grower that trains well and is easy finished in 12 weeks
really prefers it too be cold (17-23.c)
Dutch Passion have really set the bar high with this one
80G Buds
55G Trim
135G Total
well she sulked a little due to the heat waves in weeks 2-3 but she really showed out
a fantastic quality of smoke with a robust juicy pine terp that last on your lips till the last toke
the high is by far superior to the average auto-flower
one smoke and your couch locked 2 smokes and your deep in the kush 3 smokes and it lights out
the 55g of trim was frozen overnight in a glass jar then spun in a pollen extractor this was repeated 3 times
and yield was 0.4g of the finest grade of purple dry sift hash providing an insane high in the smallest doses
the effect was quite inspiring hopefully at some stage a whole plant could become hash
@autoseedsman,
smokes the bomb!
literally already put another BBK seed on like 3 days ago love this flavour too much
will put diary up today .... camera problems aside
@Inganjawetrust,
Usually save this particular variety for winter but its hard to wait to play the favourite sometimes.
under lower temps she is a little quicker and easy to get full purple, the profile picture is from a previous BBK harvest.
Its going to be an adventure trying her above 25.c but she will be back over winter theirs always some BBK seed in the vault.
@Inganjawetrust,
she really came through in the end ...
wait till i update that mazar theirs less photos than id like due to camera issues but the plant is an interesting shape now ....
@NanoGrow,
thanks, she smells soooooo good, so far its the favourite variety
was hoping she would get a little bigger but it was quite warm in august
she likes the cold usually she gets her slot in January
@Inganjawetrust,
she is looking ok but not as good as she was expected to do
she has been a bit depressed since day 1 drooping leaves etc
will run the seed again in the middle of winter
she had fantastic results in a previous run where the temp stays below 20.c avg
@growlikepros,
she kinda did, its been colder the last week she generally prefers the lower temps and
its been 26.c day time and 19.c night time for a week now.
she grew from 19cm -22cm and their has been some cola development.
@7Atom7,
6 plants total in 3 sets of 2 plants all 4 full weeks apart in a 120cm x 60cm space
the 4 plants directly under the light are usually middle age group (so weeks 3-6) and the oldest plants (weeks 6-12) the
2 plants at the side are the seedlings (weeks 0-3) when the older ones hit week 12 the oldest plants get taken down
the youngest become the middle the middle becomes the oldest and some new seedlings start week 0
new plants go in on day 1 week 5 of the middle plants life to keep everything a month apart
hope this helps feel free to inbox/PM or ask anything always happy to help
Regarding the Attis 300w Did you have it set max power from the start with a specific distance kept at or did you gradually increase intensity and height as weeks progress....
I’m wondering more for specifically for
1-3 day old soil breakers
I ask for your experience, since what is never revealed with dimmable drivers is the growers settings , for example do you have suggestions for seedling phase regarding height and intensity with this particular light ?
Cheers n best regards A
@7Atom7,
you know your right over half the led brands don't even provide par maps/ ppf or the µmol/w
in the begging with the light was on 60% and hung about 60 cm and it worked very well
but this room is a perpetual auto flowering harvest so now the light is always on 100% 20hrs a day
seedlings are placed in the room at the edges (where ppf is lower anyway)
and moved towards the centre as older plants are harvested.
the light sits pretty steady at about 80cm above the soil but everything in this space is actively stunted to maintain a good space ratio between the different generations
Quick explanation of why perpetual harvest
this room gives 2 plants every 4 weeks and the yield is 50-75g per plant using about half the wattage for the oldest 2 and the other half is spent on vegetative and early flowering plants (2x75g=150g or 0.5 g/pw)
if it hits 150g 3 times in a row its that's more pot than you would get just running the room as one group it would max at 300gish
so more pot in the same time with shorter waiting times and bigger strain selection in small spaces auto rolling grows rock!
(also under prohibition less budding babies is better)
