12/6- Today was a 'dry out' day as after 'lift checking' each pot they were all gtg for another day. They're all looking spectacular and are really starting to show off their stuff!
12/7- Watered all today with 1g de-chlorinated water with Fox Farms Big Bloom and Open Sesame added, then ph'd to 6.3 @ 74 deg. with a final solution strength of 450 ppm 1.2 EC. The remainder of my time is spent on the occasional leaf tuck, as I'm not trying to remove anything at this stage of flower, and maintaining an ideal environment in respect to RH, Temperatures, CO2 levels and VPD. It seems as though the ladies put weight on daily with each morning bringing pleasant surprises! The FastBuds Gelato Auto came out of her 72 hours in 'Dark Jail' with ice packs on top of her medium, got chopped and hung. I ran the RH in my drying room to 46% the first 24 hrs. because she was wet when she went dark and I want to knock down some of the moisture in her. I'll raise it to 55-60% for the remainder of the drying period keeping temperatures at a constant 56 deg.
12/9- Fed the girls today .75g each de-chlorinated water with Fox Farms nutrients added (Big Bloom/Tiger Bloom/Beastie Bloomz) for a final solution strength of 700ppm 1.4 EC @ 71 deg. which ended with a 6.3 ph without need for adjustment. They are continuing to stack on bulk to their flowers and producing copious amounts of trichomes. All stretching has ended, so from here on out they'll be putting all their energy into their flowers which are PLENTIFUL!!! ๐๐ The Dutch Passion Meringue has taken on a pink hue that started in her stems and has progressed to her leaves. I'm sure it's genetic as she's healthy as a horse, always thirsty and taking nutrients without complaint. Her flowers are forming in classic Meringue fashion, small tightly stacked nugs glistening with trichomes! All the other girls are stacking and pouring on the trichomes giving each strain its own unique aroma that's impossible to not spend time smelling each one...beautiful!
12/11- The ladies received .75g each de-chlorinated water with 10ml/g Fox Farms Sledgehammer added to help flush out any excess nutrients. They'll have a 'Dry Out' day tomorrow, then a good feed on the 13th to start Week 15 off strong!๐ช The frost continues to accumulate as well as the stacking/bulking up of their flowers which are really a sight to behold....beautiful! The Dutch Passion Meringue continues to express beautiful pink and red hues throughout the entire plant. The visual of the pinks and reds contrasted by the bright green she's got has a Christmas vibe to it. I checked with Antonio (one of Dutch Passions Master Growers) and asked about whether there were phenotypes of the Meringue that expressed similar coloration and he advised that yes, in fact there are pheno's of reds, pinks and almost black coloration. I sent a couple of pic's of her to him and he confirmed, and commented that she was looking beautiful! All of the girls are such a joy to just look at every day as each has their own individual personality, structure, appearance and aroma!
12/12- Here we go Week 14 coming to a close with the girls really starting to show off...Week 15 promises to bring more of the same, with the girls continuing to bulk up their flowers and produce frosty coatings of sticky trichomes!๐ Today was a 'Dry Out' day after their heavy watering yesterday. Tomorrow we'll start Week 15 off strong with a good feed for them.๐๐
What can I say bro, an oldie, but a good one! ๐ Lovely to see the Meringue and White Widow turn out that nice. And it's like you say with the Power Plant, super unique terps, spicy, floral, with hints of vanille, a terp profile to remember! ๐ Much respect and love, Antonio ๐
@DutchPassion_Official, Thank you for you kind words Antonio๐โค๏ธ, it's always an absolute pleasure cultivating these three cultivars from DP!๐ฅ
@TheCannaProphet, No Problem Im Fairly new to Growing but I like it. Can You Believe I am not a Smoker? I believe in its medicinal purposes. I will harvest in several weeks and guess what I have to try it. I like to learn from growers like you.
great diary dude and great name for it! wonderful garden and the plants are looking wonderful too! I bet the aromas are just fantastic as all the wonderful plants from @DutchPassion_Official
@@occultgreen420, ๐๐๐ Thank you! I really appreciate all the love as it makes all the hours I put into my runs that much more enjoyable!๐๐
Hi brother,
Very very excellent work you've delivered here, its my first time commenting on something cause I couldnt hold back from complimenting you! After looking to a lot of diaries from strains Im growing/will grow next run, to get information as Im busy with my first grow now. How you document everything is fine as hell, thank you so much. You're tha man, perfect work. Im growing the Dutch Passion WhiteWidow alongside afghan kush and skywalker haze. Next run I'll be looking for Runtz Muffin, Gorilla Zkittlez, Mimosa x Orange Punch, Runtz Auto, Watermelon Zkittlez Auto. Do you have any tips/knowledge on these strains? Thank you so much, again.
All the best!
