Well here we go into Week Eight / Week Three of Flower! 👏😎 With eight weeks of initial growth behind her now, the Dutch Passion Auto Power Power Plant has had a few issues along the way, most recently she was severely lifeless looking and very droopy, which now has been resolved for the most part...She has her good days, and some not so good but she's hanging in there so I'll keep 🙏 that she pulls through!
Thank you for following along this journey with me, growing these beautiful cultivars is always better with someone to share the experience with....come along and enjoy! 😎🙏
~Grown 100% organic in a 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, top dressed every 3-4 weeks and weekly Compost Tea's.
4/19- Week three of flower's here and man-o-man this has been quite the roller coaster ride of a grow with this fussy lady!
I watered her with 0.75g of dechlorinated water with raw honey @ 1 tbsp/g added. I didn't buffer the water, just gave it to her straight from the tap (well water 150ppm) which is 7.4 @ 72 deg. to continue to help bring up the ph of the medium which was acidic.
With roughly four weeks to go on this 84 day cultivar I've been giving her 4hrs/day of supplemental UVA during the middle of her 19/5 cycle and I'll be switching her nutrient to Fox Farms Open Sesame then Beastie Bloomz as things progress in the near future.
Now, this girl's on autopilot and I monitor her daily making sure she's watered, fed and has her pot turned daily.
~💚HAPPY 420 EVERYONE!!!💚~ Have a happy and lifted day!...and don't forget to 'pay it forward' 😎🙏
4/21- She looked a lot perkier today! She continues to stack her flowers and put out tons of growth which will have to be thinned out real soon...like tomorrow!
I watered/fed her with her usual 0.75g of dechlorinated water to which I've added, Fox Farms Open Sesame @ 0.50 tsp/g, and 0.5 tsp/g of raw honey, then ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 deg. 1.2 EC, I also gave her pot a 1/4 turn for good measure. 😁
4/23- Well I've tried just about everything I have in my bag of tricks and at this point I'm going to revert to the K.I.S.S. method and not overthink her anymore...It is what it is!
Overall, she's pretty healthy with good color and vigor. She's also doing great with her flower production and development, with the only negative being her tendency to droop, which as long as she keeps up I'll be happy!
Today she recieved .75g of de-chlorinated water with Fox Farms Open Sesame @ 0.5 tsp/g, Fox Farms Microbe Brew @ 0.5 tsp/g and Fox Farms Kelp Me Kelp You @ 0.5 tsp/g which with my starting ph of 7.4, brings the ph to a perfect 6.5! Gotta love it when you don't have to adjust the final ph...awesome! I also rotated her 10g fabric pot 1/4 turn.
4-25- With 60 days of growth and three weeks of flowering behind her, this 12-13 week cultivar still has a way to go my friends... and she's getting more impressive by the day!
Environmentally, the tent temperatures are maxing out during the light cycle at 79 deg. and I'm running them down to the mid 50's during the 5 hour dark period, which really helps with bringing out the gorgeous colors in some strains! The HLG 650R is running at max, pulling 660w at the wall and remains @ 34" above the canopy.
Today I watered her with 0.75g of de-chlorinated water to which I've added, Fox Farms Beastie Bloomz @ 0.75 tsp/g, and 1 tsp/g of raw honey, then ph'd to 6.5 @ 72 deg. 1.2 EC, I also gave her pot a 1/4 turn.
~Thank you so much for following along so far! I hope you'll continue to follow my journey as things will be getting more exciting as the flowering continues... Grow Strong! 😎🙏~
Sure your scale is calibrated. I grown my fair share of autos to say that 240 is inaccurate. Beautiful plant and buds. Just scratching my head on final weight of bud is all.
@Roberts, 😁 You need to grow bigger Auto's my friend! Yes, the scale is accurate. Check out my Seedsman Gelato OG Auto diary...250g yield. There's a lot of autoflower genetics that produce smaller plants with smaller yields, but there's also genetics that when grown in the right conditions become monsters! Happy growing and stay Blessed! 😎🤙🏼
@Inganjawetrust, IDK brother...She's been a handful trying to get her 'dialed in'! She reminds me of a DP Meringue photo I ran. They both were very droopy no matter what I did, but as the Meringue matured she became one of my all time favorite cultivars! I can only hope and pray that this lady does the same! If she does finally get her stuff together, with her size, she'll be epic! Thanks for the compliment! 😎🙏
