Dutch Passion Bob takes Dutch Passion on a BioTabs tour inside the Greenhouse - Growing Auto SFV OG, Auto MAC #1 & Auto Oh My Gusher on BioTabs

Better late than never right :biggrin:

you still have some time to go, and the tabs will probably stay good for the next round (in case you are planning another autoflower run in the greenhouse)

The tabs won't be wasted brother, that's for sure. They'll add to the pile for next year, because after this round I'm done inside the greenhouse. We leave on holiday for a couple of weeks and I don't want any surprises when I come back. :thumbsup:

Meanwhile the ladies have overcome the transition into the greenhouse. They are spreading their leaves and looking awesome!!
The automated watering system is working like a charm and providing the plants with a well deserved drink three times a day.

Hey Friends

The ladies are doing great and have completely overcome their transplant.

The Auto Mac #1 is the smallest of the three, but have a look at those colors... :thumbsup:

Growth is spectacular as this picture shows. From every nook and cranny new leaves are sprouting. And in the top node the first flowers are noticeable.

The same is happening everywhere on the plant...

Next up is the Auto SFV OG. Out of the three Dutch Passion ladies she is the furthest qua flowering.

I love this phase in growth, where everything accelerates so fast that the plant can barely keep up...The slow process of turning 'becoming' leaves into flowers, creating some sort of traffice jam at the end of the nodes.

See what I mean? :cool1:

Last, but not least the Auto Oh My Gusher. The largest of the three and the one I'm hoping for will be some kick-ass weed.

She's showing some burnt tips, but I feel this is over now. It has to be the reaction to the immense difference between LED and SUN light...

Well...That's it again for me. See you guys again very soon. And :thanks:

for reading this far :cool1:

Regards,

Bob :toke:

Thanks buddy!! They are doing absolutely great. We've been having several days of above 25°C / 77°F and this converts to +35°C/+95°F inside the greenhouse. Still, with the automated watering system I'm not worried at all. Each plant gets 250ml water, three times a day. Last week the concrete floor had wet spots around the pots. Today this is completely gone, so I know they are drinking just fine. And the matrix plates on top of the soil prevent to much evaporation and this benefits the worms which are roaming around and keeping the soil nice and fluffy.
The BioTabs nutrient line takes care of everything else, so all I have to do is sit down and enjoy the view with a cup of coffee in one hand and a joint in the other :coffee:

Hey guys

Another update from within the greenhouse...We're having very good weather where I'm at. So the ladies are absolutely growing like hell and expanding every day. The heat only seems to bother the Auto Oh My Gusher as she's having some leaves that are having some crinkles and burnt ends...The Auto SFV OG and Auto Mac #1 are absolutely loving it. :thumbsup:

Last night I applied another treatment with the Boom Boom Spray after sundown. I mixed up 2L water with 10ml of the concentrate and shook the sprayer while walking to the greenhouse.
But, let's begin with some shots from our Auto Mac #1. At 36 days old she's barely into preflower, but that's ok. She looks lovely none the less. :coffee:

I haven't topped this year and oh boy are there some differences in growth pattern between the ladies.

This Mac will produce some very nice buds all over.

Next up is the Auto SFV OG. Not the largest of the three, but she's nicely sliding into flowering... As you can see, she's preparing for one hell of a main cola, just like we expect from that nice OG parentage ♥

The first bunches of pistils are emerging from within the buds.

Gotta love the amount of light a plant receives inside the greenhouse. Even the lowest buds are prevailing and on par with the upper ones. :woohoo1:

And last bu(d)t not least, the Auto Oh My Gusher. My favorite of the three for now and the one I'm rooting for the most.

While her sister inside the 3.5L pot is already flowering nicely, this one is still isn't showing many pistils.

Upon closer inspection, I can see some pistils emerging from within the tops. So she's transgressing into flowering just like her Auto Mac #1 sister.

Thanks for reading this far, which means you're as much interested into this stuff as I am, so have one on me

I'll see you guys with the next update! :joy:

Regards,

Bob :toke:

Interesting mate. Looking on to see candidates in my next breeding run.
SFV is at the top so far in my book. :d5:

it's the fast plants I will be looking for.

what you think of matrix plates on top mate?.
have you noticed much difference in them staying wett for longer.

Antonio_DutchPassion · Jun 12, 2023

They are progressing nicely indeed, still looking very healthy while they must indeed have had 35+ degrees these past few days :thumbsup:

and Oh boy its hot! Here in the south of the Netherlands we are having 4 consecutive days of 31-32 degrees Celsius. I think in most greenhouses that would mean around 40-45 degrees inside, which is kinda warm :crying:

Thanks for the rep buddy

I really like 'm. The plates do help in preventing evaporation from the top. ie, If I raise a plate, the soil is still darker underneath. And more important, my worms are still alive.

They also help in dispersing the water over a larger area. It would work better if I had more pressure on the line, but for the moment it's just an IBC which stands on the ground next to the greenhouse. Still, I've measured and every 1min a valve is opened, 250ml water is given to a plant, provided the IBC is full. And since I don't have to move a muscle to even water them with my automated system, I'm happy with that :clapper:

Thanks brother!!
Yup, they really do look healthy. Sorry for not posting, but as you say it's way to hot inside the greenhouse. Measured a max. of 48°C/118°F inside today!! These ladies didn't even squint

Guess the only discussion between them would have been, who has the sunscreen.
