Overall, I am extremely happy with the genetics of the Auto Euforia and the general success of the grow. I always like to reflect on mistakes I have made, so let me lay them out here: I overlit the plant during veg, contributing to it's bushy nature. It grew well but this would be a waste of electricity if I was growing more commercially. During the last week of flower, my region of Ontario was hit with tons of rain and humidity. I took some steps to increase circulation of dehumidified air, but lowering 95rh to 65-70rh is still insufficient and I lost some control of the environment. The awful result was the start of mold in some select areas, particularly in the fattest buds and where leaves were cut away and petioles remained. This issue is not due to Dutch Passions great genetics, and is entirely due to a combination of an unseasonable environment and my own overconfidence. This mold was never clearly apparent on the outside of the buds, but I found it will trichomes scouting under magnification. This forced me to speed up the harvest and drying process. It also means that I have had to carefully grade the buds into those safe for smoking and vaping, those mold free but needing a second examination (will be rosin pressed), and those close enough to spots of mold to be only for for edibles. Any moldy bud was of course cut away and will be disposed of. Nevertheless, I have many ounces of fantastic buds, and will be making some nice pressed rosin based 510 cartridges. I will edit the harvest post with more information after the cure, and showing the various processing I will be doing. Happy growing! 🌱

German: Ich hatte mit der Keimung zu Beginn Schwierigkeiten und Zeit verloren, da ich immer nur ein Samen genutzt hatte. Erst mit dem dritten von vieren hat es dann geklappt. In der ersten Woche habe ich parallel zum Keimen meinen 30-Liter-Stofftopf mit Living Soil vorbereitet. Als Mulchschicht verwende ich unbehandeltes Kleintierstroh. Zu Beginn wird das Living Soil von Sonnenerde mit 15% des Topfvolumens angegossen, ohne, dass ein Drain (überschüssiges Gießwasser) entsteht. Das wäre eine Anzeichen, dass zu viel gegossen wurde und wertvolle Mikroorganismen und Nährstoffe aus der Erde gespült werden und das wollen wir nicht. Für die beste Kontrolle der Bodenfeuchtigkeit nutze ich von Blumat einen digitalen Feuchtigkeitsmesser. Idealbereich liegt zwischen 80-130. Diesen Wert werde ich im Laufe des Runs noch erklären. Parallel lasse ich einen Samen der Mandarin Punch FEM im Wasserglas Keimen — an einem dunklen, warmen Ort. Bei mir ist das in einem Küchenschrank. Nach drei Tagen ist der Samen aufgepoppt und kam in ein kleines Anzuchthäuschen mit ungedüngten Kokos-Tabletts, mit dem Ziel, nach einer Woche und guter Durchwurzelung direkt in den Finaltopf umzuziehen. Im Video bereite ich den Topf vor. __________ Englisch: I struggled with germination at the start and lost some time because I was only popping one seed at a time. It finally worked out with the third out of four seeds. During week 1, while waiting for germination, I prepared my 30-liter fabric pot with living soil. For the mulch layer, I’m using untreated small animal straw. To start, the Sonnenerde living soil is pre-watered with 15% of the total pot volume. I made sure to get zero runoff, as drainage would mean overwatering — which washes out valuable microorganisms and nutrients, and we definitely don't want that. For optimal soil moisture control, I’m using a Blumat digital moisture meter. The sweet spot is between 80 and 130. I’ll explain what this value means later in this run. Meanwhile, I’m germinating a Mandarin Punch FEM seed in a glass of water, placed in a dark, warm kitchen cabinet. After three days, the seed cracked open and went straight into a small humidity crib using unamended coco coir pellets. The plan is to let it establish a solid root system over the next week before transplanting it directly into its final pot. Check out the video to see how I prepare the pot!

Der wuchs wird immer schneller! Das freut mich Ich glaube das es an der scheiß Anzucht Erde lag das #1 sehr langsam im wuchs war. Die #2 hat diese Probleme nicht und nach dem umtopfen auf 17L Töpfe zeigen beide das sie die neue Erde lieben. Ich Liebs auch ! Die nächsten Wochen werden erstmal langweilig da ich erstmal nur hoch wachsen lassen möchte bevor ich irgendwas dran mache.

Sept 10th, I visited the girls today, So much work...reinforcing, pruning, mould checks. In the greenhiuse things were quiet. No storm there just a crowded space with little airflow and too many buds and leaves to ripen properly. I removed all 2nd grade branching, especially form the lower branches and mains bus. where buds were growing jnto eachother. No more water from now on... nothing. Praying for a few sunny days. Ive set dates for harvest depending on mooncycle ...please ladies, hang on! Best to all of you this fall!!

The Tropicana Cookie is an awesome strain with a great sweet and woody aroma. I had some issues in the beginning with the development and the grow of the plant but she bounced back. She got cut today and put to dry.

Finally got the temps up to an average of 78°F with the lights on and things turned right around. Someone on here reccomended I try putting a small 250w heater inside the tent with a fan behind it and it worked so shootout to @lionsshare. I took the autos and clones out and put them in the other tent. I have to take cuts of everything in here in case there is something special. It's been non stop work. The video was taken on day 2 of flower. I gave them a 36 hour dark period as well so they should stretch a little more and I might throw a few more plants in if there is room. These 3 all look pretty good, they were germinated atleast a week after the other strains so 2 are a little smaller but one is growing at a rapid clip and caught up to the others. I'm prob most excited about these because the previous 2 I grew were elite. Cant go wrong with Ethos

Another week down and things just keep getting better and better with this one. Big fat buds laced in resin and the smell is soooo good and strong! Very strawberry-like with a ton of gas that my carbon filter is doing a poor job of covering up. Oh well, smells good. :) I will start flushing about mid way through its growing week and then chop shortly after. It’s getting so close to finished I’m just waiting for more amber. I’m mostly cloudy right now.

Die Samen wurden am 08.04 in die Erde zum keimen gesetzt und bereite 3 Tage später sind 2 von 3 gekeimt und haben das "Tageslicht" erblickt. Keimlinge Nummer 4 kam jetzt 2 Tage später mit kleinen start Schwierigkeiten die Samenhülle wurde abgestreift jedoch befand sich eine weitere Hülle um den Keimlingen welche er heute an final abgeworfen hat. Woche 1: 08.04 - 15.04 18/6 Lichtzyklus Lichtabstand 30cm (China LED 100w aktuell - Mars Hydro FC 1500 folgt demnächst) LUX 7000 IN 18h 16DIL 18h Temperaturen zwischen 24 und 28 Grad nach vollen 18h Beleuchtung. Luftfeuchtigkeit zwischen 50 und 69% gehalten. Am 13.04 habe ich einen kleinen Ventilator dazugeschaltet ihn aber nicht direkt auf die Pflanzen gerichtet sondern nur auf die Wände damit die Luft Abprallen kann und so die kleinen sich langsam aber sicher daran gewöhnen können. Um die Luftfeuchtigkeit etwas aufrecht zu erhalten habe ich zusätzlich ein feuchtes desinfiziertes Tuch oben in das Zelt gehangen und halte dies bei Bedarf feucht da ich meinen Autoflowern noch kein umtopfen zumuten möchte und die "Domkuppel" zu klein wurde um die Luftfeuchtigkeit so zu regulieren. Stand nach Der 1. Woche Die beiden großen Ladys sind mittlerweile knappe 5cm in die Höhe gewachsen und fangen schon an das 2. Blattpaar auszubilden. Die kleine Lady hat sich von ihren start Schwierigkeiten gut erholt sie misst aktuell gute 3.5cm sie fokussiert sich meines Erachtens auch auf die Ausprägung der Blattpaare.

Day 0. New start. Sponsored grow. ALL NUTRITIONS ARE GRAMS TO LITRES !!!! Neutralise is in real measurement only. Soil was mixed two weeks ago !!! That line needs cooling time, have in mind !!! Main sponsor of this grow is Mars Hydro. They sent me new light again, this time i will try out TSL 2000 model. First impression : easy to assemble, but i would create longer screws and put spacers , that way would ventilate better than now its bolted straight to board. MSNL send me 5 strains to try out. Planted two purple strains, so had to cover my mistakes with this one, THC Bomb is my back up plan for good stash ;) Think name speaks A LOT !!! ;))) Day 4. Girl sprouted on forth day, lets GO !!! Day 5. Made a video, all runs smooth, a bit lanky, needed to put lights on on 3rd, not 4th day ;))) saving electricity not always pays off ;) Happy Growing !!!

She is growing strong and healthu but its to heavy. She is tied with a cable to the wall. She is not perfect in her leaves because she is growing outdoor and finally it is in the last stage. she grew very slow in winter with cloudy days. But now showing its potential with organic products. It is a few weeks to be cut.

So far these girls are beginning their push towards early stages of flowering! Each node is slowly developing pistils, new growth & reaching for the light! They've widened quite a bit seeing as both plants are slowly making their way outside the edge of their 6.6 gallon autopots. I'm noticing the increase in water consumption with no signs of new deficiencies at the 1.7EC 5.8ph. I will be increasing the the EC to 2.0 after flowering begins to progress.

1.This week the two lady without topping grow 2-3 cm/day so the biggest one at the moment is 42cm..the smaller 38cm/day 33 from germination....that was my thought try this strain to grow how much they can..in the end the scale show the differencies about the g... 2. 3x topped one is bushy so i defoliate them day 30 and use LST..the grow is perfect for all im satisfied.. 3. Ppm around 600 but the leafes is too dark green so i just crop them with clear water around 3days ..the edges is going to be sharp and dry ..snoozy 4. On day 35 i saw the first white hairs so the flowering start yet..hope the gorillas stay in flowering around 5-7weeks 5..HPS Super Grow 600W changed to HPS 600W Full Bloom Spectrum ./red/ 6.The soil PH is increased a bit.need to be decreased later cause my rain water stock is empty 🙄..i use RO reverse osmose water

Week 8 has gone well and she is chugging along. She is still putting out new pistils with some turning orange. Calyx's are growing longer and buds are still soft. I'm thinking a min of 10 weeks flowering for her. I removed some leaves on inner canopy to bring some air and light deeper. She is so bushy its hard to even defoliate maybe next time i will remove some more lateral branches... afterremoving the leaves I must have come incontact with a pollen sack as where I defoliated all seemed to be polinated over night and are making seeds :( I will cut my losses and harvest while seeds are still small.

Day 50. Selective defoliation, constant spraying ( I said never in flower, but it goes well, so I will keep up for few more days ). All good, nothing special except missing space as always ;)))) Day 54. I repositioned them a bit, think too intense air was making both big Mimosas - a real sl@tty DIVAS ;)) Hope they will feel better aside. Happy Growing !!!

Hello guys, I went on vacation for 2 weeks so i asked a friend of mine to take care of my plants. Well....They are alive😅 but he didn't do any work on them LOL. He didn't even try to spot deficiencies... Neighter did some LST so they are kind of fuckt up for now, The PH rates where oke, like 6-6.2 but the EC rate was like 1 to 1,5 so he might have giving them more water turns then he gave nutes, I'm glad that he didnt overfeed, this little underfeeding didn't harm them alot and at this early flower stage it doesn't mind that much. I didn't want them to stretch that long like this, the stems went thicker so bending will be harder but I will try to. Pictures named Update 1 is how it kind of looked when I came back ( I did some defoliation before making the photos, so it looked way worse before that). If you compare week 12 with week 15, you can see a nice equal cantopy in week 12 and you see it turned to shit in week 15 lol. The Shamans went into flowering stage for like 1,5 week if i gues it right and the Critical Kushes are about to. I will post new pictures when i get all the work done and when they recover a little bit from that, i gues it will be putted online in the weekends. So this is all for now. Update: The way it got handled it demotivated me for this week so i barly did something about it nor did i make new pictures, Sorry guys, I will make them better next week for sure :) Enjoy.
