Week Twenty and Week Seven of flower... With Twenty weeks of initial growth behind her now, the Dutch Passion Auto Glueberry OG is a massive plant! With almost 100 days of veg time before she was flipped to 12/12 she's got a root system that can make some exceptional flowers! The gears have shifted now and my girl has a week or two left in flower and she's getting frostier by the day! Thank you for following along this journey with me because growing these beautiful cultivars is always better with someone to share the experience with....come along and enjoy!๐

WEEKLY UPDATE:
7/19- Her flushing continues with straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.7 @ 70โ.
This last week or two of flower ALWAYS tests my patience...sometimes it's so hard to resist chopping, but I know that extra week will pay off in spades with the final yield, so we wait...
7/21- Today I continued her flush with 1.5g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.7 @ 70โ. I also checked her trichomes and gave her pot a 1/4 turn.
She's now getting 1260w of light and I've kept the co2 level @ 1000-1250ppm with 'daytime' temp's @ 80-82โ. I'm running the 'nighttime' temperature down to 63โ to further stress her, which should increase the trichome production slightly.
7/23- Yesterday, after checking her over thoroughly, I decided that at 'lights off' she would start her 48hr dark period before being harvested...She's READY!!! ๐๐
Stay tuned for some 'pre-chop' pic's, then it'll be time to hang her up in the Drying Room for 10-14 days before she gets trimmed up and jarred. ๐คฉ
7/25- Today she was released from her 48hr. dark period! She's completely frosted over with trichomes and smells absolutely AMAZING! ๐คช
After taking some pictures of her I removed all of the 'non-sugar' shade leaves and chopped her off at her base.
Before hanging her I went ahead and weighed her... 2.155kg! I can't wait to see what she yields after her 12-14 day drying period in my Drying Room, but I'm sure I'll be pleasantly surprised!
After I chopped her off at her base, I went ahead and hung her whole in my drying room. The temperatures are a constant 68โ with the RH running 50-60% depending on what stage of drying the plants are at.
I generally set the RH to 50% for the first 24 hours to remove the initial moisture in the room, then increase it throughout the drying period with the end goal being to have the process take 12-14 days to ensure that the starches and sugars have worked their magic!
My next entry will be the harvest of this beautiful cultivar from the Masters at Dutch Passion Seed Company! ๐๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐
~Thank you so much for following along so far! I hope you'll continue to follow my journey as I'll soon be trimming her up and getting the final results for this beauty... Grow Strong! ๐๐ค๐ผ~
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, IKR! This is what happens when you have a 'Auto' that decides it would rather be a Photoperiod! I'm flipping her today after 95+ days of veg...Look out! ๐
i see all your lights are HLG. I love mine. Are they a presence on this site or is that all Instagram?
I figure u have to be doing something with them if you are all HLG!?
Was gonna rock a diablo but Viparspectra is hooking it up instead.... and u cant argue with free....
I just would like to promote HLG some tooooooo!
@TheCannaProphet, yeah i literally have a stack of free "beginner" lights i've recieved from this site, Vipar is hooking it up with a big boy light too b/c i told them i simply couldnt use another small light... but you def had me curious!
Both my germination and veg light are bought by me from HLG tho.
Did HLG hit u up on instagram or growdiaries?
They did give me a free shit at CannaCon lol I was in fanboy mode
@Inganjawetrust, TY kind sir! It's been an extended relationship to say the least and I think we're both about ready to take it to the next level! ๐
Hello there! Your lady is looking beautiful and healthy, and only in a 10liter container?
