Hey AFN Fam
The weather has slowed down it's pase and temperatures inside the greenhouse are a confortable 32°C / 90°F. The ladies are really enjoying this
One thing though and that is, that the pot's aren't as dry as they are used to. So I decided not to water them today. Hopefully I won't regret this tomorrow when I come back from work...
Anyhoo...Let's get this Dutch Passion bonanza on the road!! Chooohooo!!!!
Auto Oh My Gusher at 52 days...She's grown to be the tallest girl in the greenhouse. So given the opportunity she will stretch to be about 1m60 if I must guess...so yeah...She's a big gurl
All my ladies have, in one way or another, gone through some extended vegetative growth. Going from the 3.5L pots to the 7gallon fabric pots surely did something to the roots which made the plants wanna expand even more. We can safely say that plants grown in small containers will finish a lot sooner then plants grown in larger containers or even outside in the garden soil...
And so this lady is no exception.
After 52 days we can say she's definitely in flower, but she's only at the start of her run. And therefor she'll be in the greenhouse a wee bit longer than I had expected... Not to worry, beside the leakage issue, my automated system runs perfectly. I've got another 15 + 2 solenoids on my workbench, so when they are build, I can automate 30 pots inside the greenhouse, which is more pots then I currently have.
So many budsites...and they're all filling in at a slow pace, like she knows she's on Bob's time
All bright and fresh pistils and in their midst's the occasional bract which is almost exploding. In the old and moneyless days these bracts where a real welcomed gift from the ladies and you got to know them a little before the actual date...
Right next to her, Auto SFV OG is running in first place of team Dutch Passion. She's very much cleared the 'Mid Flower' tag, but I would rather wait until this weekend before I call it for the whole team. The OMG above will probably not reach her midpoint by next weekend, but hey...it is what it is...
Inside that massive cola the calyx's are starting to expand like a mf'er...
The sweet smell this gurl emits is giving me goosebumps you guys
Hey Antonio,
You guys did an amazing job transferring that frost from the SFV OG into your Auto version.
If she taste's as good as she looks!!??!! Hat's off my friend
Yesterday was the hottest day, but luckily some things come to an end...Today was an amazing 10°C cooler outside, which shined through onto the plants... They're having some sort of holiday right now, coming from the desert like temperatures of the last couple of weeks...
This also means the pots weren't completely where I would like them to rewater and I don't want to mess things up. So I'm keeping my
and hope I don't get a hard-attack when I return tomorrow.
Even these lower budsites are frosting up nicely...I think this gurl will be a great candidate for making some bubblehash with...Either way, she has nice and white buds and these doe remind me of the Auto White Widow I've already grown a couple of times. So I'm really curious to find out how she tastes
Lastly we have our leafy monster of a bush...
Yup, this Auto Mac #1 is one lady and one lady alone. Instead of growing into the air, this one is expanding from the bottom up...
Looking at her leaves, this lady shows a well fed plant, happy in the spot where she stands.
This shows in the amount of budsites which are already starting to get golfball size.
She is a leafy gurl and indoors I would have schwazzed the hell out of her, so much so that the neck hair on Antonio's back would stand up
But inside the greenhouse I have ample space and more light then I could ever give them indoors. So, since leaves are the solar panels of our beloved plant, I'm going to let them be where they can do the most good...on the plant!!
This will most likely give me plenty of work when harvest come, but then again...I'll have plenty of trim to pass through the bubblebags.
Yup, you've made it this far...I was in a writing mood, so unless you scrolled through, thank you for reading! Otherwise thank you for scrolling
Regards,
Bob
Just keep them happy and they will reward you, hopefully still in time for your holiday, they seem a bit slow, besides the Auto SFV OG ;-)

So I came back after dark and took these few...Still wanted to give an update for today 
And stacking up them buds. She's slowing down in making pistils and the expansion of the calyx's has commenced. It's only going to get better from here my friends
