@Darkdarktime, hey dark! Really good points on DP being worth it! There is a reason why new growers like us ended up choosing them for sure! And yes, I can definitely tell it's worth the wait.
I was reading about how 90 days is now the current standard for autos -- granted that all grow conditions are decent and the grower isn't an idiot (good luck to me on that one :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing::joy:).
200 day grinspoon photo? Whuuuut??! I really want to try a photo some time because fellow growers say one can learn more from it.
Yes, our plants definitely look different. TBH, I think yours are more in line with how DP-TD plants look like in other journals. I mucked mine too much. Good job! Especially on the first grow!
I haven't thought about doing anything w trim. Perhaps just some butter and baked goods. I heard it would take at least a few season's worth of trim to get a smokable piece of hash... True?
Which of your DP seeds you growing next? I have an auto Cinderella Jack from them... And I am curious.
Can't wait for your smoke report! And definitely gonna follow your future grows! Noob growers unite!!!

@Vincent_Van_Grogh, no bother, nice to have a comparison to be honest haha, and yeah I don't mind that it's taking a long time I would just rather them tell you that they are not fast strains, they say 10-11 weeks from seed to H, but I'm just past 11 weeks now and like I said think I'm going to need around another 3 weeks or so, almost as long as a photo,
There are a lot of nice looking uncommon autos in there selection though to be fair, not just cake this and glue that,
Again in a fair point to dutch passion I think if I had used a smaller pot and attempted to keep the plant smaller I imagine it would finish quicker but like I say I don't mind waiting if its worth waiting for, I just wish they said that they are slow autos so you know what to expect, I see a lot of people saying Dutch passion autos are slow,
Which is a bonus as you say for beginners as you get time to heal after blunders.
I have about 7 more DP seeds 4 TD and a few of the cinderella Jack, I'm going to bloom those and maybe buy a few DP photos before I make my final choice on Dutch passion as a whole, because for me there professionalism and obvious skill and ability and massive choice of quality strains outway the slightly longer wait time for me I think, again I just wish they said on there website that for example think different will usually be around 13-15 weeks not try to cover up the fact,
I havnt even chopped my first grow yet and have been looking at heirloom strains ect
Tempted to do a run of Dr. Grinspoon with a total run time of about 200 days haha,
Can't wait to see what your dutchesses turn out like, they look great but so much different to mine, I've had no major problems throughout or stunting had some slight damage after something dropped on a lower branch but healed quick and didn't stunt I don't think and a tiny calcium problem at the start, lasted 2 maybe 3 days and I fixed it, and I didn't feed bloom nutes straight away as I disnt have any and couldn't afford any, for about 2 weeks or so into flower before I started fox farm,
I don't have any idea what to expect yeild wise I'm imagining (dreaming) around 3 oz ish but I've no idea I'll get some good pics up before it dissapears for the diary and so you can see what I mean about the difference in shape and colour and leaf structure and bud structure and everything haha
You will have to keep me updated our kid :+1:
Much luck, to us both yes!
P. S
What are you doing with trim after H?
I've bought some bubble bags so I'll update you on that too!

Jesus.. thats a long post

@Darkdarktime, thanks for peeking from time to time, Dark! Made so many errors! Which makes Dutch Passion useful because the long grow time allows for more healing... But to be honest... Now that I have a grow under my belt... I don't think I prefer Dutch P if I run autos again.... Takes waaaaaaaaay too long! Lol! Thoughts? Good luck again -- to both of us!
