Dutch Passion Think Different Orange Bud

@IronWeedLady, thx 👊

@neilldagrass, the smell that comes to mind when opening the grow room is simply delicious. 80s Skunk, natural orange, a little cedar/wood/furniture polish, slight sweetness. Did I mention SKUNK?! 😋

@Aspliffaday, thx mate!

@smokeymcpot, hehe, let's hope it's not salad ;)

@TangW, thx man. It's a great strain isn't it. I'm gonna follow along with your grow, you're a couple weeks ahead, so I know what to expect ;) happy growing!

@smokeymcpot, i'm quite happy about the first week. but of course, it's only week 1. let's hope I can keep them happy and healthy :)

@smokeymcpot,thank you for your very kind words.

@bobo420, thx man!

@Slowking, Hey man! Those buds of yours look super nice. Let me know how they tasted. Yes, it has been a real fight against the high temperatures. Fortunately, it's a little cooler since today. The plants have really suffered a bit. Hopefully not too many negative effects on the yield. I think I have another 2-3 weeks to go. Good luck with your harvest today.

@dahoola, well it looks like yours is 100% going to be a higher yield than mine, saw this coming for a couple of weeks anyway 😜 I'd been having trouble with temps as well these last two weeks, to think that when they started just 8 weeks ago I was having to put the central heating on around the clock!! How long have you got left? I'm harvesting today.

@Slowking, I did not know that epsom salt could be used in plants. Keep me informed how that goes. Yes, a grow without any issue would be nice. I have been growing for 7 years now, but learn something new every round. Thanks for the compliment, but I would not call it perfect. It can always be better 😀 Difficult to say what the yield will be. The previous 2 grows always yielded about 300 grams out of 4 plants. Of course I hope to do better, but I'm happy when I get 300 gram 😉 The ultimate goal remains 1gram / watt, of course 😋

@martinkush, thx man! I will certainly take a look. then I have some material to compare 😉 good luck with your TD grow!

@dahoola, yeah it seems to be somenthing common ,one of my td is also much bigger than her sisters. You can check them out in my journal 😁. Your girls are looking awesome btw!

@TangW, Good to know that I am not the only one who has this difference in size. it's just the same with me. 1 of the TD is almost twice as big. have tied her down a bit, so as not to have too much difference in size. little annoying to determine the height of the lamp ;)

@Dr_Sampson, thanks man! and it's true what you say. that is one of the reasons why I prefer to do leaf tucking instead of defoliation. In later stages where there may be shortages or other problems, the plant can get reserves from the leaves. To put it simply. The leaf green remains the engine of a plant. The less green, the less powerful the engine ;)

@MG2009, I'd also add that because the leaves havn't been removed they are still providing some(allbeit less efficient, but better than none) photosynthesis and residual nutrient storage in the even of deficiency. Great work!

@dahoola, Sounds great gonna do it thanks!👍

@Slowking, fortunately my setup is in a place with stable temperatures. So that I do not have to worry too much about the temperature. Of course, sufficient air extraction and ventilation remain crucial. In terms of watering, it is not too bad. Their water consumption has naturally increased, but for the time being I still have to water them every 2 days. They each drink about a good 2 liters. BTW, Do you already have a solution for that lower leaves issue?

@dahoola, how on earth are you managing to water those girlies? i'd be curious about temperature control as well. i have only two in a tent, and find myself fretting about it and regularly checking. might well just be the mark of the noob in my case though!

@dahoola, Man, it's getting hard to compare when I look at the luscious green meadow that is your tent. Bet it smells beautiful, even if only a weak fragrance at the moment!

@caopunk, thanks man! would not call myself an expert. I also still learn. But it is true that you learn a lot from each grow. And I've already done some rounds ;)

thats show how different between newbie(mine) and expert! nice grow!

@neilldagrass, thx, i'll try to keep it up ;)

@Dahoola,thanks mate this is what i was hoping for, kinda ground breaking for us hard water boys but no ones heard of it 😂 ive read you can run irrigation systems with it and it wont block up with limescale so yet another good use! 😆

@BuddingBudda, I have been using omina for quite some time. and must say that since then I do not have to administer calmag separately. I also have hard water myself and the combination with omina works perfectly. of course every plant is different and some strains need more calmag. but so far I am more than satisfied with this product

@dahoola,Thanks a lot 😊 ! I'm following you too bro , your grow is a good yielder one 😍 also impressed by your work ! I'll wait on your next diary 🙌

@OutForReal, thx man! saw a few of your grows and I must say that I am impressed. great diaries and grows! I'm going to have to follow you now ;)

Hoo, Your hunch was correct. You are overfeeding. More precisely, your nutrient solution is polluted by one or more nutrients in your nutrient program. This is causing your plants to over vegetate. More leaf means less calyx and the calyx is where the trichomes are most densely packed. I am a master of over vegetating, unfortunately. I learned to recognize these symptoms the hard way. All the same, congrats on an impressive grow.

@Stick, Hi man, thanks for the quick response. My suspicion may also be light stress. As you also state, I also doubt whether it would be a shortage in the food scheme. I even thought about overfeeding. Now I have to add that it is not necessarily the leaves that are closest to the lamp that suffer from it. Even those a bit lower. The solution would therefore simply be to hang the lamp a bit higher. To check it out. Unfortunately, the lamps hang at maximum height. Maybe I should pull the ladies aside with rope. Thanks again for your input, I appreciate it

@dahoola, yeah 4 sure man i see your point, i’m just Thinking maybe at some point it Will do more good than harm u know😛 like not just send the energy to the flower but also better air circulation, bit lower humidity, lower chance for mold and so on, but stand nu your decision for sure, looking forward to see the result!! ,

@ValleoGrow, thx man! It is indeed a jungle 😁 I have thought of defoliation, but have decided not to do it. I still find it unclear whether autoflowers really benefit from defoliation. I often read from growers that it 'really works' but without really irrefutable evidence. There are quite a few arguments that claim the opposite. That defoliation does not necessarily benefit the plant. There are even real studies that prove that defoliation even leads to a lower yield. So I decided not to really defoliate them (with the exception of a few leaves that covered some buds too much)

@IrieEyes, thx man! 👊
