This is my second run of Dutch Passion with my first being a monster Blueberry Auto. Massive plant, and her pungent odor overtook my entire home while trimming her today. While trimming her it smelled like I was in an earthy Pine Forest with a hint of berries, and it was one of the strongest smelling plants I've ever run. Very easy to grow, responded to all training methods with VIGOROUS growth. I topped her above the 7th node and removed the bottom one so I had 12 mains total. It took me almost 8 hours and I even had help for 4 hours.. Trimming is definitely my least favorite part of cultivating this species. I am super impressed with this strain and really everything Dutch Passion. They have not even sent me a single seed or even acknowledged me on here but this is my second run of their autos and I anticipate each will be a massive yielder. I will probably take a month off then start a run of a few photoperiod mainlines. I will be back with a final smoke report after she's cured, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

Week 4

The plants are growing at a good rate now and drinking a litre each per day. I feed them by hand and each plant gets 2litres every other day. Didn't do anything else this week other than install the trellis on the last day. This plant is at the back of the timelapse video.

Day 70-77 (Day 71) Not exactly sure why but node spacing on bbb 6&7 is super tight still. Their stems are also harder and less bendy, almost like they’re root bound. Bbb #5 in my veg tent is looking bizarre and I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ve been looking up and asking around about the leaf crinkle and no one seems to know what’s wrong. Trashing a pheno of this would hurt. It could be a keeper too as I don’t think the problem is genetic. It’s definitely root bound but that doesn’t cause contorted new growth like that. I’ve concluded that it’s my dense soil coupled with root bound issues, overwatering and high RH. (Day 72) Later tonight I’m going to give bbb 5 a bath tub flush until it’s reading 200ppms, drain it well and then transplant into a 3g pot with lightly amended soil. I’m also going to give it a light defoliation. I don’t mind stressing the shit out of this plant right now because I won’t be flipping for another week at least. With the small container it will run out of amended nutes mid flower so I will hit it with a few synthetic feedings around then to test out the smokabilty and taste compared to organic nutrients. I might as well give the rest a good defoliation on the rest of the plants too. I will try to get most of what is under the trellis. (Day 73) I definitely defoliated #7 waaay too much. Since it’s tucked away in the corner and a really bushy plant I can’t train it as well as the others. I cut most of the sucker branches and the majority of the lower fans. This should prevent the need to defoliate at all until week 3 of flower. (Day 74) I’ve been reading that higher temperatures with a high RH can affect growth big time. It could be what’s causing all the crinkling and twisting. And now that the plants are in very late veg they could probably benefit from a lower RH. When I was running my temps around 74-78F and 70% RH I was in the perfect range. Now that I’m around 82-86F with the same 70% RH that could be what’s causing it. Hotter air holds more moisture than cooler air and proper vpd at 84F is around 75-80%. I’m going to turn up the speed on my carbon filter and set my controller to 75%. If I don’t see a difference or it gets worse I will drop to 65 and go from there. (Day 76) I finally got the lights raised up another 4 inches or so. It’s not much but it should help reduce the intensity and stretch the nodes more. I’m starting to think the super tight node spacing and droopy/contorted growth has more to do with something I’ve been reading about called ‘soil compaction’. Apparently farmers often deal with compacted soil in fields from running tractors over it all day. When I potted the plants I gave them a good little jiggle to compact the soil down further so I could fit a bit more in the container. I think this could be the culprit as they don’t seem to be drying out evenly. Even the plants in my other room are not drying out like they should and it’s probably from compacting too. With the addition of rock dust and dry amendments the soil can become sandy/clay like and retain a lot more moisture. Wish I would have added a few more liters of perlite and packed the soil a bit looser. Either way I need to get this problem sorted ASAP before I get root rot. Earlier in the season when I overwatered, I stuck a fish tank air pump into the soil and it aerated the soil enough to prevent overwatering. The only reason I discontinued it is because it didn’t have much effect in the 1.7g pots. I just ordered a 36w 6 way fish tank pump that is way more powerful. It was 50 bucks and I’m willing to take a gamble on it. It seems to be my only option at the moment because I can’t just repot. Worst case scenario I can use it for brewing compost teas if it doesn’t work. I’m not sure how well this will work in a giant fabric pot but it’s worth a shot. I’ve heard of people supplementing additional air into raised garden beds with great results. I’m picking off some of the new auxiliary branches to try and widen the node spacing. Growth is definitely slow and stunted but no signs of deficiencies. I just thought of another theory on the node spacing... and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s the mystery problem. I’ve been foliar spraying with 1-1-1 VeloKelp at pretty high concentrations 2-3 times per week. I have heard in passing that kelp and seaweed can somehow reduce stretch. A quick google search reveals that Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed and other marine algae extracts contain large amounts of hormones and auxins that reduce plant height and stretch. *facepalm* Guess I’ll stop that for the rest of the cycle. As far as I know there is nothing I can really do but wait for the plant to use up all those excess hormones and nutes. The recent 0-0-15 seaweed extract and 1-0-3 kelp meal I bought is derived from the same kind as the velokelp. I guess I won’t use it again until week 3 or 4 in flower. Tight nodes are very useful in flower but aren’t desirable at all in when trying to scrog in veg. Especially when they’re like a half inch apart. It slows the shit out of a grow. Vietnamese and biker gangs in my area used to grow SOG style and use a synthetic PGR hormone (meant for bonsai trees) called ‘paclobutrazol’ that would make the weed rock hard dense so they wouldn’t have to pay people as much to trim it. I’ve heard that in recent years they have made the switch to using kelp extracts because paclo is getting harder find and is not meant for food crops let alone smokeable crops. I’m ashamed of it but I have smoked pounds of PGR weed long before I knew what a PGR was. 🤷‍♂️ (Day 77) One more theory. Ever since raising up the plants up onto that shelf the root zone is probably significantly warmer and the bottom of the pot (where most of the roots are) drys out way quicker. It’s possible that the warmer root zone could not be holding dissolved oxygen at the proper rate resulting in that over/underwatered look. Or it could be that I’m not watering enough at once to reach the bottom of the pot where the roots are and it’s indeed under watered. I’m going to water in a gallon when I get my new air pump and see if that makes any positive change. If I see the new air pump making a difference, I will flip on the 21st of April. If I don’t see a difference, I will carefully untangle the plants from the scrog net and remove the shelf. That extra foot should make a massive difference with ppfd and will cool down the roots significantly too. I’m thinking about grabbing a simple soil/compost thermometer to check the temp of the medium. Better safe than sorry. Rough week. Hopefully everything get smoothed out in the next little while before I flip.

420Fastbuds Gelato Auto Week 9 What up grow fam. Weekly update for these lovely girls. They're getting really close to being done. The flowers are swelling up great with sweet smells coming off them. Trichs are starting to turn cloudy so I'll keep an eye and check them out later in the week. All in all very Happy Growing

Day 64: Feeding day. I stopped giving them the Big Bud supplement and started feeding them with the Overdrive as recommended. Went with recommended dosage which is 2ml/L. There is 2 weeks of feeding left until the final flush. Day 65: Small problem this morning that looks like calcium deficiency on multiple leaves of the 3 plants. Not worried but I'll keep a close eye on this. I went and bought the Sensi CalMag Xtra still from advanced nutrients and plan on doing a foliar spray as soon as my lights turns off. EDIT: Lights are off, I sprayed only one plant, the worst looking one, just to see if it would do any good. If so, I'll apply the same treatment to the others, if not I'll find another solution. I added 1ml to 500ml and gave her 5 good sprays, enough to simulate the evening dew. I know I shouldn't spray during flower but I need it to act quickly. --- 4 hours later, it seems to have at least stop the spread, will confirm tomorrow. Day 66: So it stopped spreading because the lights were off. It looked worst this morning but only on the plant I sprayed -_- the 2 others seemed fine and recovering. I would normally feed tomorrow but they need it fast so I'll add 2ml/L of CalMag today and then 1ml/L after that on other normal feeding days. Also, I figured why the problem happened. I learned that you need to calibrate your measuring tools once in a while... The pH of my solution was way off down to 5.5 when I thought it was good. So yeah keep your tools clean and calibrated! A bit later after feeding, I was wondering if adding the CalMag was really necessary, since the 3 parts nutrient should already have what the plant needs and now that the pH is set well, it should take it in nicely. I'll monitor that very closely. Perhaps I fucked everything up. Day 67: Everything is kinda fine. The farthest is still the worst looking one with a bunch of brown spot on pretty much all of her top leaves. She's not dead but in bad shape. I know I shouldn't expect them to disappear instantly but it makes it hard to say if the treatment was effective. At least I don't see any signs of toxicity. The others seemed to have stabilized too. Day 68: Video update on the calcium deficiency. Deficiency? Well... turns out it's quite the opposite and I'm actually facing a lockout. I should've known since like I said, the 3 parts nutrient already has what the plant needs, and also the fact that I've never flushed them. Experience they call it... So I flushed them with water pH 6-7 until the runoff was in the same range. FYI the first runoff measurement I took was at 5.5. Next feeding will be on Day 71. I really hope that this is actually the problem and that they can now recover for real. Buds are getting fatter by the day. Day 69: Nice They still seem to get worse day by day :( I don't know what to do. Day 70: Fucking Christ!!! I'm this close of throwing everything away. The farthest one is looking terminally ill and I'm pretty sure I see new spots on the 2 others. WTF is going on!!! The soil is still very moist from the recent flush.

Fantastic week. Lots has changed. Plants are stacking something fierce! I cut out the nitrogen completely this week, qnd that's how it will stay for the duration of the rest of the grow. I have found with autos, i have had the best luck when I push them hard with nitrogen up until this stage in growth. I then cut out the nitrogen completely and up the bloom nutes quite dramatically. For the rest of the grow I will feed every watering. Water at a 6.4 ph. Gro- 0ml per gal Micro- 10ml per gal Bloom- 15ml per gal Bug bud- 5ml per gal Very much looking forward to watching this batch swell!! These chemdawgs are monsters! The two biggest plants in the room! Flowering nicely! Look out for some big yields!

Ripeto sempre le stesse cose, pultroppo senza commento non mi fa pubblicare le foto. Le piante vanno alla grande, tutto perfetto. Peccato me ne è morta una altrimenti il box era completamente pieno! Ma va bene. Ci rifaremo la prossima volta

Last week for these girls, I'm so happy the way they turned out , started a 10 day flush in the middle of last week , amber tricomes has just started to come in so in a week come harvest it will be around 10-15 amber which is what I was aiming for. The color between all 4 of them is amazing and buds are so fat. Did some light defoliation of the lower fan leafs yesterday and the colors came out even more today. My co2 ran out but got it filled up within 2 days .

No se cómo expresar mi felicidad después de casi 3 años sin poder cultivar consecutivamente he podido cosechar esta belleza gracias a @blacktunaco por la K.O una genética llena de resina con flores compactas. Cometiendo errores desde el principio se pudo obtener una excelente planta corrigiendo todo para así mejorar el aprendizaje continuo. Se dieron 12 días de lavado de raíz y 3 de estos estuvo expuesto a lluvia constante durante los 3 días por tal razón se decidió cosechar para evitar dañar las flores

Californian snow seems to stop progressing, don't know why, any ideas?

Llegamos a los 21 dias de flora y le hacemos una poda de bajos y de todas la hojas que sean mas grandes que la palma de la mano.

Day 21: week 4 starts today so going on this 4th week kind of strong b4 I stave em a bit and shift up.... Stay in that low gear and build them nutrient PGR's up recline a bit. Thinking about raising my ph a bit....low 6 but think it needs to go up to @ least 7 to take advantage of the high octane nutrients going into this. On another note already setting up my next grow. Going with 10qt pots on these only because they will be FF's so gonna make sure I have sufficient room for extreme growth. Think these will be my permanent's that will eventually go outdoors. So feeding probably last veg mix this week and will probably wait til the weekend and let em starve a bit. Oh wow the mail came and the packaging is pretty dope... 420FB!!! Day 22: Can't believe I just saw John "MF'n" Daly hit a tee shot that give's him a nice birdie op in the Open!!!! Dude looks pretty Shaggy like some type of hippy grower!!!! Fuck'n love it. So went against my thoughts and fed "Feed me Seymore" style. Gave em their weekly feeding yesterday around 6ish and watched. Sprayed with sensi cal. Speaking of which, finally getting a bit more organized and labeled foliage sprays and got em ready. 3 different bottles, sensi cal, Heavenly goddess, and Grease. Keeping an eye for any type of yellow pigments and spraying both over and under. Kind of worried about lockage so got some ph up/down. Wanna get my ph up just a hare so improve absorption of nutrients and get larger plants. This is my very 1st grow and my future is looking pretty dense with the addition of the FF's but needing this grow to make the next grow even better. Keeping my humidity up during this veg stage and staying away from any cutting for now. I think that the uv for a week has done something to my growth or maybe stunted a bit but proud of my stem work as these girls got Christian Louboutin Heels for stalks. That breeze blowing thought their leaves like "working women on a windy day" with their hair blowing in the wind!! Head turners!! So with the weekend coming not much but observing and maybe some light misting but getting ready to jump to that next level in the coming weeks but honestly trying to keep em from flowing until they get a bit larger. Maybe I can get a week 6 of veg but honestly with the Bud Blood this will be somewhat easy. Bud Blood or Bud Igniter......Been thinking about this one. I hear BB is the go to but can be very strong and possibly burn your plants. Igniter does the same thing so really on the fence but don't think I'll be disappointed. Think I'm gonna do a split maybe 4 using BB and 3 using BI just to see how they work. Things will definitely be picking up in a few so will post as the journey continues. RIP Tony Bennett......Dude you will be missed and I totally expect to see your face on a Stamp in the next 10 years!!! Noonish...decided that my air exchange if off so leaving my tent door open a bit to get fresh air flowing into the tent better. My CO2 bag is xlarge so think maybe too much. Gonna roll with this half open tent for a few and see. Day 23: So watered my plants outer zone with the vpt mix just to get maximum exposure to roots. Benn spraying the foliage with Grease and Green Goddess and just paying attention. Also am experimenting with the foliage spray and light reduction for a couple of hours just to get the plant to take the spray nutrients. Think the flowering is staring to come on but trying to slow it down by maybe a week just to try and get that 5th week of veg in b4. My plants are looking really robust and are taking the nutrients with no bad effects it seems. My PH up/down is coming today but still contemplating that whole ph up =bigger plants scenario. Also threw the training wheel milk carts back on my girls and am running a fan beneath my plants so that the pots can get fresh air through the root system. Have not experienced run through yet from watering so think I'm doing a pretty good job of keeping my watering in check. 6ish: went down on the lights earlier 2day just and came back to 1400is and plants are looking great. Sprayed with Grease and am gonna go with one more veg feeding b4 I pull out the BB with the IB and prep for flower, so thinking one more veg feed b4 we move into this next stage. Got some plant trainers coming Monday so figure if I go with a feeding in the morning and then lights all day Monday will start training to get these branches their own space to grow. So with the night nothing but maybe foliage spray and an early lights out but hopefully I can get these plants a bit more dry b4 feeding so might try to stretch the week out and give the soil a bit of time to dry out b4 this final veg feeding. Day 24: Had some light issues and my babies didn't get much sleep so gonna get back to my 18-6 with only breeze in sleep. Attempted to train a few of my branches with some 90° plant trainers but said nah, save em for my ff that I'm gonna veg/flower/veg/fl..... Looking back @ the last 28 days I realize just how much work, time, research and dedication to do this. Talk about stress relief!!! Keep's me uplifted and positive. On another note, getting the AC Infinity bars to keep my tent from doing a Hal 2112 S.O. on my grow!!

Just picked up my seeds off my buddy. He had them under a light for 6 weeks and their looking great. Moved them outside and they didn’t seem to be too shocked from the adjustment. Getting about 7 hours of direct sun then some indirect sun but mostly shade after that. Gonna top, prune, and move to bigger pots soon
