Dutch Passion Auto Ultimate in the; post...

...any tips for this strain? A mans set up may be a mars hydro II 1200 over two NFT trays with two girls in each tray. Maybe...

It took a long time to zone in on this strain, was between Short Stuff and DP for a while, then DP purely down to the number of posts in this sub! Figured there would be more experience to tap up!

Then it was between TD and AU. Went AU as that was open in the browser when I said "fuck it, get that one!" would of been 'umm'ming for ever otherwise!

Space, space, space..... Or small, small pots.....

I've no experience with NFT, but I would expect the same mayhem as elsewhere....

Take a look at the link in my signature to a 7 x AU fiasco, it simply got out of control, you'll come across one that was supercropped more than a 100 times, and still reached the roof 2 meters up(40 cm of that was an XL Autopot ...... Sure, the yield was not to be sniffed at for a second grow, but I daresay I could have done the same with 4 plants today..... Oh well, older and wiser!

I found AU to be a heavy feeder, so keep an eye out for deficiencies.

Regarding TD vs AU, my personal choice would be neither, sort of, but rather the maxi TD that Dutch Passion unsurprisingly named Think Big.....it is an even better performer than both AU and TD, and that is not saying both of them ain't outstanding strains, they ARE....but TB is my new staple fare strain, I've got 4 going at the moment......

Good luck man, it's a great smoke...... Hit @pop22 for his 1 pound club AU endeavours here https://www.autoflower.org/threads/quest-for-1-pound-with-autoflower-and-soilponics.43177/,

@Teetee did more a kg from 2 AU's awhile back, I can't seem to find the link....

Super happy with the ultimate...I grew two outdoors this summer. One only got 8 hours of direct sun at best, and she yielded 120grams dry. The other I had a bit of a mold problem(tossed away 1-2oz) but I managed to pull 9oz dry from her. Both plants are great in potency, and I like the kind of grapfruity smell in the jars.

@Corgy - Great to hear that about the Think Big! I grew the Think Fast this summer(Think Different photoperiod) and it was the highlight of my outdoor season. 52oz of awesomeness!!

You've got me a little worried there Corgi!!! Plenty of training required to try and keep the height in check then? Will read your grow now. Thanks.

Thats good to hear GS, I only found one negative smoke review, that was from 6 years ago, and it read like the grow itself went tits up anyway!

I did minimal training on my outdoor ultimate and they grew perfect. Both were just over 40" tall at harvest...but of course that is less than perfect outdoor growing!

You don't say......

Corgi, if I can match your key I'll be very, very happy! Target set!

 

[Corgy]

I don't see why not.... Unless you balls it up like I did, you'll do better, much better I think......

Stage one: They're in the drink!

2 out of 4 are visible at the top of the rockwool starters. Its this stage that is always the biggest worry!
