Dutch Passion Power Plant Auto

Welcome to another epic run...buckle up and enjoy the ride! 😎🙏 I'm so stoked to run this cultivar from the experts at Dutch Passion I've grown the photoperiod version of this strain several times and have never been disappointed so I'm excited to see what kind of magic they have created in this autoflower version of one of the iconic Coffee Shop strains! I've ALWAYS had great success growing Dutch Passion genetics, experiencing monstrous yields and extremely stable genetics whose consistency can always be counted on. 😎👍 "AUTO POWER PLANT - The classic autoflower seed The 90s brought a lot of great things. Among other things, the feminized seed technique (invented by Dutch Passion Seeds) and a true "coffee shop classic"; the legendary, high-yielding, knock-you-out Power Plant! Even today you can still find this genetics in many Dutch coffeeshops. Power Plant has South African roots and is known for its easy cultivation with large harvests, great taste and strong effects. If you have been to a coffeeshop in the Netherlands between 1997 and today, you have probably smoked it and most likely Power Plant has made your stay in Holland even more enjoyable. Given the success of the last few decades, it is no surprise that the Autoflowering version of the original 'Queen of Dutch Coffeeshops' has finally been rolled out! The Auto Power Plant Strain grows into a large-format autoflower with hard, dense nuggets in just 10 weeks and packs the same Power Plant punch as the classic from the 90s. The very attractive bud-to-leaf ratio and record yields make this variety very popular with commercial growers. The first pull on your joint, bong or vaporizer will take you right back to that era where it all began." *Credit Dutch Passion Characteristics of Auto Power Plant: Sex: Autoflowering Genotype: Sativa-dominant Cross: Power Plant x Think Different Suitable for: Indoors and outdoors Life cycle: 70 days Indoor yield: XL Outdoor yield: XL ~Grown 100% organic in 10g fabric pot with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium amended with 2tbs/g Down To Earth 4-4-4 / 2 cups/g Earthworm Castings / 1tbs/g Dr. Earth Flower Girl 2-8-4 and 1tbs/g Dr. Earth Bat Guano. ~24hr light cycle during germination / 19/5 light cycle for Veg & Flower ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and weekly Compost Tea's. 2/22- We're going to call this Day One for this girl. She was planted directly into the medium of her 10g fabric pot filled with a 70/30 Coco/Perlite mix from Mother Earth that was pre-moistened and up to temperature. I watered her in with approximately 1oz. of 6.5 ph water and placed a clear Solo cup over her. I have the HLG 650R set at 150w and kept it on 24hrs. The tent temperature is maintaining a constant 78-80 degrees F with a RH of 53%. Three days after planting she broke ground, once sprouted and opened up to expose her first leaves I removed the Solo cup to avoid any issues with rot. I'll keep monitoring her several times a day to make sure she's healthy and to water her when necessary. She should really start taking off in the next few days...I can't wait, can you?😍 2/24- Well she's up and has her first real set of leaves. She has a 'runty' appearance, but I'm treating her with TLC in hopes that she'll take off once her roots get more established. 😎🙏 All I'm doing right now is giving her 1-2oz of de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.5 170ppm's once or twice daily depending on the moisture level of her medium. I fired up the humidifier in the tent to raise the RH to 55%, as our air is cold and extremely dry this time of year (33%RH), which will get the VPD into a better range so the girls can process water/nutrients more efficiently. Tent temp's are a steady 79-80deg. F and I eased the HLG 650R, which is currently hung @48", up to 200w and will monitor to see how she tolerates the additional PAR. 2/26- She's five days old today and I'm finally relieved to see her starting to really take off now! She's finally starting to show signs of some vertical growth, which hopefully is an indicator that her roots are finally starting to develop. I'm watering her daily in the morning just after 'daybreak' with de-chlorinated straight water ph'd to 6.3-6.6 @ 74-77deg. Up until now I have been just watering the immediate 6" diameter area around the seedling but today I started wetting the entire surface of her 10g pot to ensure that her roots will have moist medium to grow into as she matures ensuring the explosive root growth (courtesy of Great White Myco) I'm hoping for to produce an exceptional cultivar! 2-28- Week One is history for the Power Plant Auto. I've upped the daily watering amounts for her, soaking the entire surface area of her 10g pot. Previously, I was just watering in the immediate 6" diameter area around the seedling. Now I want to make sure that there is moist medium throughout the pot to enable the explosive root growth that I'm hoping for courtesy of Great White root stimulator. She is still getting straight de-chlorinated water daily in the morning that's ph'd to 6.4-6.6 @ 74-78deg., and will continue to do so throughout the run with the exception of weekly Compost Tea's as this run is 100% organic using pre-amended medium and only getting top dressed through the run every 3-4 weeks. Thanks for hanging in for this week! Things should be getting a lot more interesting in the coming weeks...Stay tuned and Stay Blessed! 😎🙏
