Well here we go into Week Ten / Week Five of Flower! 👏😎 With ten 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!...She's doing much better now, is flowering, and generally overall another BEAST of a plant from Dutch Passion!
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.
5/3- Here we go Week TEN... I'm so used to auto's wrapping up in 8-10 weeks from seed, this strain with its 12-14 week finish is a whole different learning curve...but change is the spice of life right?!
Today she was watered and fed with 1g of de-chlorinated water with Fox Farms Beastie Bloomz @ 0.5 tsp/g, Fox Farms Big Bloom @ 3 tsp/g, Fox Farms Tiger Bloom @ 2 tsp/g and Fox Farms Bembe @ 3 tsp/g. I then ph'd to 6.5 @ 1.4 EC.
I checked her over to see how she was doing after her defoliation yesterday and she has recovered nicely. She still has that droopy look at certain times of the day but, I've now learned, that's just her moodiness and as long as the rest of her looks healthy she can droop all she wants!
5/5- Yesterday was a dry out day after her heavy water/feed the previous day. Today I watered/fed her with 1g of de-chlorinated water with Fox Farms Beastie Bloomz @ 0.5 tsp/g, Fox Farms Big Bloom @ 3 tsp/g, Fox Farms Tiger Bloom @ 2 tsp/g and Fox Farms Bembe @ 3 tsp/g. I then ph'd to 6.5 @ 71℉ 1.4 EC.
My girl's going nuts stacking her flowers, which there are a TON of! I'm turning her pot 1/4 turn daily and she's getting 4 hours a day of supplemental UVA via the HLG 650R's additional UV Bar I added to it which is currently at 32" above canopy.
'Daytime tent temp's in the Gorilla 4x8 are running 77℉ and down to 58℉ while the light is off. RH is steady @ 50-55% and the co2 levels at canopy height are running 700-1000ppm's.
5/7- Yesterday was a dry out day after her heavy water/feed the previous day. Today I watered/fed her 1g of de-chlorinated water with Fox Farms Cha Ching @ 0.5 tsp/g, Fox Farms Big Bloom @ 3 tsp/g, Fox Farms Tiger Bloom @ 2 tsp/g and Fox Farms Bembe @ 3 tsp/g. I then ph'd to 6.5 @ 1.4 EC.
5/9- I'm continuing turning her pot 1/4 turn daily and she's getting 4 hours a day of supplemental UVA via the HLG 650R's additional UV Bar I added to it, which is currently at 32" above canopy.
The Dutch Passion Power Plant has come a long way from her sketchy start! My lady is chock full of flowers that she's busy stacking, her health is about as good as it's been and I'm keeping my fingers and toe's crossed that she continues on her current track and finishes up as another epic example of what Dutch Passion genetics are capable of!
~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 intensifies and this lovely lady gets her groove on... 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! 😎🙏
