[AutoMaster]

Dutch Passion Organic Xmas Selection Box; By Automaster Will Contain; Fems;

DesFran

Power Plant

Outlaw

Strawberry Cough

The Edge

I am defo looking forward to Xmas Eve, onwards !!

The full organic grow, and medium,below;

Medium

Gold Label special mix (Low Pre Nute) The following items where added to the gold label; at doses set out by me, and deemed at a suitable volume per 15ltr final vessel.

Startrex;

Soil improver to get growth of the a good start.

Contains high soil bacteria content, and a mild NPK 5/4/7

Bactrex;

natural organic soil bacteria for the root matrix protection and enhancement.

Contains mould of the genus Trichoderma NPK o/o/o

Mycotrex;

Blend of nine species of Mycorrhiza spores NPK o/o/o

Insect Flash;

A blend of 168 species of insect feces's like bat shit but with a wider spectrum of minerals and vitimins. And slower release capacity NPK 8/5/9

Orgatrex; (Not Mixed In organic grow medium)

From fourth week of flowering ONLY, NPK 3/9/14

An organic complex, inc sugers, terps & flavor enhancers, and micro and trace elements for boosting plant health, vigor, and vitality. A fully organic bud feed and booster.

After a few Ph tests on the mix of items above, i settled on discrete volumes, differing with each. The final soil Ph came out at Ph 6.8.

This will allow for denigration of soil ph during the grow. Which is then buffered. by adding more tap water to my RO o2 conditioned water. As i need a final "Flowering" soil Ph of 6.8 to 7.0. Which allows full uptake of the flowering nute orgatrex NPK 3/9/14. So i wont need to use Pk13/14.

I germed the beans in 3ltr pots for individual strain pheno selection. In straight Gold Label, Gold kit it is to.The final few where selected and at 15 days potted into the 15ltr vessels. For the final journey.

Day 33 Flowering Day 4 12/12 18,000-23,000 lumens per plant

Power Plant

Strawberry cough

Outlaw

The Edge

Desfran

The DesFran is the one at the back, of the above shot. Thats been centre topped,

and 4 bows centre topped, at day 18 the absolute earliest it can be done.

And still taller than all others ! (Animal Strain) that will be the one that puts me to deep rem sleep, xmas eve, around 1am !! After 2 pints of Pepsi on ice & lemon, to try and stay awake !!

Will chime back in on these Sativa Dame Selections, every 14 days, due to work commitments. Thank god for autopots and valves !! take care, best to all, and thanks to the DP team, for the xmas selection box. many thanks. They are defo fuller so far on the AM Organic medium mix ! Automaster

UPDATE XMAS BOX Day 60 overall / 31 flower

Cheers sty mate, those SC's of yours look nice. Am looking forward to trying the new one for me, as is "The Edge" though. I must say, the additives i put in the grow medium. have staved off any cal/mag defs, that usually show up due to genetic variance in the bean set.

I usually get one or two that show a small amount of sensitivity due to variance. That might be a coinsidence with the fact, i just didant get a minor show this run. But at just 3 days post the 4wks in flower they are looking great.

Due to a delay in getting started this run. It ended up, i switched the Dames 12/12 "Right On The Winter EQUINOX" !!

Purley by chance i may add !!........ not planned at all. The result was, with the Dames tuned in the the external magnetic cycle. They all showed sex with 15 Days of the 12/12 switch !!

never had em show so fast before, was it the timed up equinox 12/12 ??.....or the additives to the medium ?? no way of knowing. I would opt for the 12/12 flip bang on winter equinox though.

had em sex at day 18, but never under that figure !!........... all sexed female no probs. Only had a couple of mins to get some lights out pics. When i got in from the daily slog .................. had to super crop the DF early as allways, and the Strawberry cough also....... had a mad stretch up post switch. Coming on quite well though, good color and vigor.

Feed Ph 6.6-6.8

Nute Ec 0.8

RO buffer Ec inc Ph down 0.25

Every other feed, 1ml/Ltr Orgatrex

Cheers styer man,........ i must say the medium additive have made a difference, that is noticable, at this stage, week 6 flowering, after the 12/12 switch, bangon the winter equinox !!............. you where right re strawberry cough stretch post switch. had to super crop the topped, 4 ball centre colas. To keep it inline with other trains, in the xmas box..........

there is a cracking brand new DP strain on the horizon of 2017................... a new year treat........... AM

LAST UPDATE 24th October; XMAS BOX Day 60 overall / 31 flower

This UPDATE 5th November XMAS BOX Day 72 overall / 43 flower 12 days growth............ Fireworks Night !!

As outdoor temps crash to minus 5. the lights off 1kw thermo fan heater is working hard to maintain soil temp @21c, at ground floor level. Even though stratified heat at ceiling is pumped back to floor level to draw cold air into its rising warm air stream.

One of the Edge, and one PowerPlant (Just won high life cup, 1st, for best sativa 2016), has also showed slight nute sensitivities at 0.85 nute Ec. Total Ec 9.8. A natural variation in the trait lines. As there are hungry fems like edge and strawberry cough, and the outlaw, i have to tread a carfull nute line to get me xmas mix and match selection box.

is a fine line to tread between, burning sativas on high nute, and giving the hungry fems what they need. In one feed mix !! have managed it so far !!............But wont push further than nute ec 0.9 this run. To get the best out of the pure sativas, DF & PP.

Orgatrex 1ml ltr every other feed, includes mono & poly sacharides also. Inc gibberelic acid. There on PK 18 24@0.2 ec inclusive.

Due to time saved sexing, equinox sexed at 15 days all showed calyx. I recon they may finish a little early. 35-40 days left inc 10 day flush. So only 21 days of bud boosting to go before pure RO water flush is scheduled to start. they get 1 litre to 1.3 ltrs every 3rd day, at RH 42. At that winter dry air RH. They like to drink like fishes. But have to dry out. Right to the bottom of the root. To ensure full oxygen penetration through the root matrix. The next feed is always explosive !!

Nuff rant .......... 6wks of 12/12 10wks from 1st wetting beans In this order

Power Plant (Life Expo Cup; Best sativa 2016, 1st Prize), 2nd prize, best medical sativa PP Life Expo Canada 2016

Strawberry Cough.

Edge (Spanabis Champions Cup, 1st Prize 2015)

Outlaw, just a pure XXXL animal, and yielder, fem........ equivalent to AutoXsteme.

The LST'ed, super cropped DesFran, is now enter-twinned with the outlaw, nestling in light pockets, doing it's animal thing ! as allways.

POWER PLANT 100% SATIVA PURE LINE BRED Yield XL (And In Regular Seeds Also), gota try that again

STRAWBERRY COUGH 80% SATIVA INFLUENCES M/L

THE EDGE OLD SCHOOL SKUNK 75% SATIVA INFLUENCES XL

OUTLAW DP SUPER HAZE HYBRID 80% SATIVA DOM 20%+ TRICH LOAD ON CHROMO. XXL

Sadly, was late in again; lights came on mid day 43 flower photo sesh !!

I have not changed the timers to go back one hour. As of last week end etc............ as i have allways stayed on the set hours. Would it freak em if we put em back an hour during flowering ??....... so they now spark up at 5pm and not 6pm !!........ have to leave work early to get promised pics though !!........... have a good one all................. Ps; they smell Delicious all the aromas of the selection box mixed together !!................ fruits of the Denaderland, superb as allways, good vigor and trich load at wk6 flowering............

next update, i week before flush starts in 21 days, 19th November, bang on cure for 10-15th December, a fresh up xmas box selection, what a treat........... am looking forward to it greatly............ Automaster

[teehee]

As always I turn up late for the show....nice selection @@AutoMaster.

Thanks for telling DP Tony about my Night Queen, it made the cut but it wont win.... some other lovely stuff in the comp, as always.

Nice to see your Christmas preparations are well under way, looks like you're gonna have a cracking new year.

I heard something about new DP strains.... something like a glueberry OG, I dunno..... what have you heard?

[Guest]

Now thats a strain selection i have only been able to dream about...desperately want to try strawberry cough and desfran but conditions wont allow!! Cant wait to hear what you think of the smoke on those!

@TeeTee - It wasnt a dream buddy. Have a look at DP's seed selection in their catalog and you will see a listing for the new glueberry available in january. OH shit i can see it now...TeeTee glued to the ceiling of his tent with a berry happy smile on his face! :D

[Guest]

@Teetee - IN the Dp category over at AFn there is a comparative grow with 8 guys growing the Glueberry OG. Seeds are in the dirt!

[Guest]

As if i never said it...sometime get a little too quick on the trigger..Automaster - plants are looking perfect man!! After looking at the power plant i can kind of see the resemblance in the structure of the think fast. Looks like you have some really kind smoke incoming. Keep up the great growing man!

This UPDATE 17th November XMAS BOX Day 84 overall / 55 flower 12 days growth........

Last UPDATE 5th November XMAS BOX Day 72 overall / 43 flower 12 days growth........

Thought i would keep the update at 12 days between each, rather than the 14 day window previously stated......

Well, they have been getting fat, on the genesis PK Plus 0/14/19 @ EC0.3 to 0.4.......... being a total nute and buffer and Ph down of Ec/TDS 0.98. @Ph 6.8. The RO tap water buffer, and Ph down (Citric Acid in Flower) is Ec 0.25 total. The remaining nute is genesis Micronutrient + Bloom nute, @Ph 6.8 (Flower). I have only just stopped the "Orgatrex" inc gibberelic acid, at week 8 flower, due to N content. And the gibberelic job is done !!

during flower i use "Citric Acid" as Ph down. As it is a "Ph Stabilizer" and promotes lemoneene terps in strains that have the lemon perps in the gene line. Sush as the potent "Outlaw"......... a favorite.

The Edge and Outlaw are now on flush day 2. As they come in early'ish at wk 8 day 55 flower. I have a super bean in the Power Plant collective........... she is huge............ and crowded out the smaller standard PP next to her.......... she is packing it on and still greedy wk 8 flower, still on full Ec........ as are her PP counter parts !!

I had forgot !! i had put down 2no "Think Fast" also in the xmas selection box....... the medium additive added to the gold label special mix......... have made a difference to the flowering period. due to healthy veg promotion during the non flower period. Building superb structure for the flowers. And prevented the usual odd one that shows a cal/mg def............ that may be down to the gene mix............. but even so, there's always one !!.................. not this time though. I have put it down to the "Insect Flash" and Orgatrex............ as well as the other items added, from the biotabs packs trialed this grow.

I will be adding them again next run.......... sadly i had to turn down the "GlueBerry" test grow, this time. As the space was mid flow........ and just bad timing for me sadly............ but the new Glueberry OG, an addition to the American lines, looks stunning.

GlueBerry OG

USA genetics is Gorilla Glue. This strain was the successful result of crossing Chem's Sister with Sour Dubb and Chocolate Diesel. These parents ensured the connoisseur taste and high of this amazing strain.

Another great USA variety that probably most growers have sampled by now is one of the many variations of OG Kush. With it's distinctive taste and mysterious heritage, it has already filled many grow rooms with extremely potent product.

The master growers of Dutch Passion have crossed these two magnificent strains with each other and crossed the result with our longtime classic Blueberry. The outcome of this beautiful cross with XL yields and an average height of 1.5/2 m is called Glueberry OG and we are proud to have a new addition to our USA Special line. Jo@DP

Here are the DP Dames........ xmas box............... and right on "Peak Load" wk 8 flower....... and have been reading more on "The Edge"........in particular the cup winning 1st place grow by "Antonio".......... she is pinned as the most potent Antonio as grown !!....... he rates it in his top 5 of all time......... he has been growing a while also !!......

A grow PASSION, My PASSION, Dutch Passion......... DesFran, The Edge, Strawberry Cough, Power Plant Outlaw and 2no Think Fast !!........... Disentangled in pics below ok............ Automaster.....

STRAWBERRY COUGH

Packing it on well.......... for 8wks since equinox switch to 12/12............ Edge & Outlwa allready on flush day 2........... the remainder have 2wks to go super heavy weight inc the Power Plant Super bean dame......... she will be the biggest in weight, although one of the outlaws is challenging for the post !!.......... another shit hot trouble free journey the last 84 days..... the white tops to the odd king colas flower, is "Hyper Phistilation" due to LUX above 40,000 !!........... they just soak up the lux power, and love as much as they can absorb !!

There are 3 outlaws and 4 PP and one Edge that regularly drink 2ltr before showing 150-200ml of run off. The others show at 1 to 1,5 ltrs......... the PP super bean however......... has scoffed nearly 3ltrs, before showing run off. With a massive frame like hers, who could blame the thirsty pure bred dame !!....the gibberelic and orgatrex has made a difference for sure, if not ensuring a trouble free journey to day 84...........

Will be the pre harvest pic run next update, 12 to 15 days............ some may only just be on the flush by then !! 10 wks flowering up the trich load, before a 10 day flush.......... literally 5 days before xmas the cure finishes !!......... perfect timing Rodney x

Automaster.....DP's Master Grower....... a passion, my passion, A Dutch Passion,

ive learned, when your at the top of gene pile, there no where else to go !!......as nothing else matches perfection. seasons greetings to all canna self sufficient warriors............
