Came back from holidays and surprisingly the plants were looking great after 2 weeks without watering them, the gelified water did it's work. Flowers have gotten bigger and smellier.

~MERINGUE by DUTCH PASSION~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This strain by Dutch Passion is one of my all time favorite strains that I've cultivated previously with phenomenal results so I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! I'm going to things a bit different this time around. I have a brand spanking new AC Infinity 4x4 tent and was just given one of HLG's newest lights for 2022, The Blackbird! I've got this 600w monster hooked up to my Trolmaster Hydro X Controller so I've got full control over timing, dimming and Sunrise/Sunset. This beauty is going to annihilate the 4x4 for sure! 😎👍 I'm going to grow her all by herself and veg her for around 70-90 days after witch I'll install a trellis net in the tent and spread her out. Once she's recovered from her 'net training' I'll flip her to 12/12 and hang on! 🤪 It's ALWAYS been a blast for me growing strains from Dutch Passion because their genetics are extremely stable which allow me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth and they REWARD you with some of the most EPIC cultivars you've ever grown! 👍👍👍 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~STRAIN INFORMATION**~ ~Unique USA genetics~ ~Very sweet aroma and fruity flavors~ ~Compact buds with one of the highest THC levels~ ~Quality of the flowers is top-notch with an amazing bag appeal~ Meringue has a very sweet aroma and fruity flavor Meringue is a hybrid indica/sativa strain with a complex fruity aroma that leans to the tangy side of the spectrum but a bit sweeter. It smells like oranges, mango and honey with some earthy, sour hints. Her aroma profile is also very pungent. Meringue is a connoisseur’s delight Meringue is a high-quality strain. She might not be the biggest overall yielder but the level of quality is definitely a reason to keep growing her again and again. Expect solid yields of stunning looking buds. Although the flowers can be a bit smaller, they are rock-hard and thus will still put down some weight on the scale. When handled well she will deliver you some of the most beautiful looking nuggets on the planet. The dark hues in the flowers and leaves makes the white layer of resin really pop out for an eye-catching bag appeal. Meringue is grown by crossing Wedding Cake x Animal Cookies. Wedding Cake, also known as Pink Cookies, is a USA cross of the famous Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie. These 2 strains make for the intense sweet tangy taste of the variety. It is also noted for its extremely high THC content. Animal Cookies is another popular USA variety which is a child of the legendary GSC line and Fire OG. She is a clone-only variety that flowers in about 9 week and grows very dense and compact buds that can show some dark coloration in the flowers. This strain has a sweet and sour aroma with a strong body-effect that will suit the more experienced smoker. -The genetics used to create Meringue ensure the following characteristics- ~A sweet tangy aroma from the Wedding Cake ~The dense, compact and colored buds from the Animal Cookies ~High potency levels thanks to both the Wedding Cake and Animal Cookies genetics Meringue is top-notch variety with a high cannabinoid profile and an intensely sweet, pungent aroma. ~Meringue Effects~ Meringue is a crossing of 2 popular hybrid USA strains. She leans a bit more to the Indica side which is shown in the shorter flowering time and bud structure. The effect of the variety is quite euphoric with a powerful sense of well being and relaxation. When you smoke more during a short period of time you will be rewarded with a deep body stone which could give a couch-lock experience. Meringue feminized seeds vs Lemon Meringue strain Any fans of the USA Lemon Meringue variety will love the Dutch Passion Meringue. Both varieties share a THC rich high and a connoisseur flavor profile. However feminized seeds of the Dutch Passion Meringue are thought to produce frostier plants and a superior vaping experience. -The growth and flowering time of Meringue- We recommend a veg period of about 4-6 weeks for these feminized seeds. Meringue can have a bit of a slow start while showing some stretch during the latter part of the grow period. On the other hand, she doesn’t stretch a lot during flowering, so she can be a bit challenging to understand. Meringue can have quite an unusual growth pattern with leaves that have elongated stems and which are pointed upwards with some distance to the main stem. This requires the use of certain growing techniques, like leaf tucking, to make sure she receives sufficient light from top to bottom. Meringue stays fairly compact and within 3-4 weeks there is already a lot of resin on the flowers. After 6 weeks of flowering the buds start to show orange pistils, they seem to ripen quite fast. Luckily all plants show amazing resin production, making them very appealing to the eye. The flowering time is about 8 weeks. In combination with the recommended veg phase, it will take around 12-14 weeks from cannabis seed to harvest. The yield of the Meringue Meringue produces XL harvests of top-notch quality cannabis; between 400 and 500 grams per m2 is possible. The buds are really frosty and dense. Our expert advice: Meringue is the perfect strain for professional home growers or licensed producers looking for a variety with the highest possible resin levels. Buds are literally coated in layers of resin. We would recommend to look out for the plants which show the most hybrid leaf and plant structure. These are generally the biggest and best yielding phenotypes. Consider using a UV light during the last few weeks of flowering and notice how the trichome production goes into overdrive. If you’re looking for something truly unique with an amazing bag appeal then please look no further, Meringue is the strain you need! ~More info about Meringue Meringue isn’t the most straightforward plant to grow so she can be a bit challenging to understand. The thing that stands out the most is the slightly unusual growth pattern, therefore more leaf picking is necessary, otherwise the lower buds will not receive enough light. Because of the slightly larger internodal distance, buds don’t have the tendency to become really big, which could make her a bit more interesting for growers with higher humidity levels. There should be enough fresh air around these flowers though, because they become rock-hard. Buds are covered in trichomes, lab results showed all phenotypes were close to and above 20% THC, suited for hardcore smokers. ** Credit to Dutch Passion ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seed was lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which it was transferred to a moist paper towel laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Mars Hydro Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where it stayed until a tap root emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellet that was hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerged from the Jiffy Pellet she was transferred to a 1qt plastic pot. As she grows I'll be moving her into larger pots along the way up until she's in her 10g fabric pot. ~Grown in a 10g fabric pot filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and fed Dutch Pro nutrients throughout the entire grow with de-chlorinated water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8. ~19/5 light cycle for vegetation, then 12/12 to flower with supplemental UVA added during the last weeks of flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~ Supplemental co2 provided throughout vegetation and flower - monitored and controlled by an AutoPilot APC8200 co2 controller. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 12/1- I soaked the seed for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which it was transferred to a moist paper towel laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Vivosun Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉. After 30 hours she had not popped open yet so I soaked another seed for 3 hours and then into a paper towel and onto the heat mat it went. 12/3- This afternoon I checked and the seed had a root that was about 1/4 to 3/8" so at 5 pm I transferred it into a Jiffy Peat Pellet that was hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph using a tine off of a plastic fork as a 'mini trowel' to make a hole in the pellet and to gently cover the tap root, leaving only the seed head slightly exposed. This method accomplishes most of the initial work the seed has to do by eliminating having to orientate itself, push it's root down and head up. By the next morning she had her cotyledon leaves opened! 12/5- Well this is Day ONE for the Dutch Passion Meringue! I'll keep her in the covered/heated Jiffy tray until I see her roots beginning to emerge from the peat pellet, then I'll transfer her gently into her 2qt plastic starter pot to begin growing. 12/7- Today when I checked her, she had roots just starting to emerge from her pellet, so tomorrow I'll transfer her into her 'starter' pot. 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙

Somewhat slacking with detailed photos from this week, been busy with the holidays/ family etc. hopefully should have a little more time to take some good ones for next week.. Not much to say, they are getting quite big! some more lower branches and leaves were removed and I've been watering every other day, about .5-.75 gal per plant until I see some run off and the top looks evenly moist. End of week 1 of flower and there are Lots of white pistils, a pleasant smell (controlled by my filter/vent) and some major stretching happening on the strongest branches. Already raised the light by a few inches twice now too keep the distance over 12 inches from these stretchy ones! 😏 Also found a large healthy looking seed in my grinder that I've saved (Mac 1 supposedly, its good smoke)

En general, ha sido una buena cosecha para terminar este 2021, una experiencia que le recomendaría a cualquier cultivador, en una planta asombrosa. Ahí podéis ver algunas de las copas mas grandes del cultivo.

Week 3 flower. Day 15. Great white ph water feed. Shes moving fast now. Raised the lights slightly. Want a little more stretch for spacing. Clone is in 2nd week of flower. She has her first balls. Will isolate her tonight in a small tent. Lights burn the shit out of any collidial silver spray leaves. Makes the plant very sensitive. Going to use a lamp light 😁 Praying 🙏 Day 18 frost appears. 5 more weeks of winter 🙌

Algunos de los ejemplares se han quedado bajos por las podas, de momento por que las sativas crecen durante mas tiempo despues de cambiar a 12/12 a ver que tamaño final tienen, para estimular e crecimiento vertical realizare una poda de bajos, pero me estan gustando bastante aunque bajas pero bien ramificadas, las altísimas temperaturas, de hasta 32º en algunos momentos ( cuando se acaba e agua del humidificador jejeje) no ayudan para nada, pero voy a seguir luchando contra él, uso Leaf Coat como preventivo y como queda como una fina capa de latex natural a la par de prevenir contra plagas, evita la deshidratación consiguiendo que las plantas sufran menos por las calores, buenos humos!!!

Purple Buds are amazing.I could not be happier with their color, buds are chunky and frosty, the smell is indescribable. It reminds me a certain sweet from the childhood :) and I bet it will taste even better. Later, I will show some more pictures for Industrial CBD which is doing fine. I will move Purple Buds tomorrow out of my tent for two days in the darkness and then - harvest time :) CBD has got one more week to go I think. Happy growing to everyone.

Overall a great plant to grow. Some hardships through the beginning with the not so great nutes. Definitely worth a grow. The only thing is the length that this plant took was just absolutely crazy! For an autoflower I was expecting harvest 2-3 weeks ago. From seed to harvest it took 110 days.

Finally we are done, I spent one 10 months on Durban Poison, this is my best sativa strain and im absolutely in love. So next report will be with some Clones of Durban Poison.

Hi people! Everyone knows that growing requires patience from the grower! otherwise nothing good will come of it .. and in this case my patience is at the limit)) but I hold on .. I'll tell you why ..)) I'm used to growing my plants using lst topping defoliation and all possible training methods .. (as you can see by reviewing my diaries ..) well, I was planning to do the same on this girl .. at the age of 3 weeks I did Topping .. well, I was planning further LST and all that .. but it is so beautiful that it will grow, grow round and turn into a beautiful round fluffy bush that I felt sorry to touch her and interfere with her natural beauty .. so I got patience and decided not to touch it at all until completion ..) hands itch to cut off at least a leaf! there are a lot of branches with flowers inside)) I just imagine her in buds in a few weeks) and it takes my breath away from understanding how beautiful she will look ..

Extrêmement satisfait de cette variété. Un vrai cauchemar pour les ciseaux tellement elle colle!! Comme pour la critical, j’aurais aimé récolter plus, mais je vais essayer d’améliorer mes compétences, et puis peu être par la suite augmenter la puissances de la lampes. Elle est vraiment riche en cristaux. Je reviendrais faire un update après le smoke test.

05/19/2021 Week #7 flower. Gave her a good rinse today she was covered with pollen from nearby trees, drinking more water took 2 full two liter bottles before any runoff, soaking it up like a sponge. Couple hours later fed her some (1-3-3-1.5) N-P-K-calcium I anticipate two more weeks till harvest but we will see. Just got to keep her hydrated for next couple weeks. Apparently she is perking up! after taking a rest for a week or so. And putting on new flowers, and Tangie parentage is very identifiable in her SMELL! WOW Enjoy the videos.🙏 Ps. I decided to fix floppy stem, hopefully it will now put more effort into finishing flower! Will she swell in last weeks??

hey guys so her e are amd super lemon girls lookingreally good AMD smell awesome like sherbet candy . been away a few week so not been able to update but wll going well started flush today and will prob harvest first girls in a few weeks

She fully recovered from the heavy defoliation now i hope she puts on the weight now August 13th: plant got flushed and right after fed ripen untill 300ppm runoff, the hairs start turn brown so in 10 days she will be ready. It has sativa shaped buds so i dont have to wait for swelling anymore

Eccoci alla 4 settimana di vegetativa! Per ora sembra andare tutto bene! Ho notato solamente che la gorilla Lemon sta avendo delle carenze di calcio /magnesio e ho provveduto a darglielo, speriamo si riprenda al più presto, per il resto la crescita continua ad essere sorprendentemente davvero molto rapida per quello forse le carenze si stanno facendo vedere da un giorno all altro! Ho cambiato l acqua pochi giorni fa e ho dato 14 /15 litri ad ogni secchio e già ora siamo praticamente a meno di 10! La ragazza sta bevendo e mangiando davvero in modo vorace! L. Unica cosa che mi sta accadendo è che mi sono reso conto solo adesso, essendo la mia primissima volta in hydro, che sto avendo il famoso "fusarium" delle radici, un fungo aggressivo ed infestante delle radici, a cui nn avevo ancora fatto caso ed ora dovrò farci i conti putroppo.. Per adesso ho dato un po di perossido di idrogeno (H2o2) come mi è stato consigliato, ogni 3 giorni. Le dò 1/2ml/litro per fare in modo di cercare di eliminarlo un poco finché nn avrò a disposizione prodotti specifici più efficaci, come acido ipocloroso, e per prevenirlo del trichoderma harvemium, sperando che nn sia troppo tatdi e che riesca a rimediare a questo mio sbaglio grossolano da principiante! 😅Infatti come uno stupido, vedendo all inzio che nn vi erano problemi alle radici, ho aspettato tipo quasi 30 giorni prima di fare il primo cambio dell'acqua, poiché stupidamente pensavo che con le temp della soluzione che nn superavano i 20 gradi, nn avrei. Avuto questo problema, per di più nn avevo ancora una pompa di sentina per svuotare i secchi, appena è arrivata ho fatto il cambio di acqua e mi sono accorto di avere alcune radici già compromesse, ed ora sono un poco peggiorate purtroppo, per questo sono davvero molto preoccupato, che possa avere effetti anche sul benessere della oainya soprattutto durante il. Periodo di fioritura dove le cose si faranno sicuramente più difficltose.. 😥.. Vabbe nei prossimi giorni dovrebbero arrivare questi prodotti per sterilizzare un po le radici e farle tornare bianche in salute, confido ormai nella fortuna! Ma eseendo la mia prima volta in hydro per ora nn mi posso lamentare, la pianta sta manifestando carenza di calcio etc, ma nn penso sia dovuto al fusarium.. Chi ne sa di più di me, i consigli sono davvero ben accetti! Grazie a tutti voi che mi seguite, siete davvero la forza che mi spinge contro tutto e tutti a continuare a migliorare la mia coltivazione e "coltivare" sempre più questa mia intensa passione per la cannabis la pianta più miracolosa del pianeta a mio giudizio! Un abbraccio a tutti voi?un buon 420 a tutti! 💪😸🌱🌿🧑‍🌾😽💨🔥🔥🔥💥💣
