Indoor Bambud's Dutch Passion grow - AutoUltimate, Auto White Widow

[impulse741]

Chopped down the white widow on Saturday. Probably only about 1 to 1.5 oz when dry, but the quality is beautiful. I think she was a bit small due to the fact I planted it together with the AU, which took a good 4-5 days more for the seed to pop, and I think that stunted her quite a bit. Also I take the leaf curling on both the WW and AU must be due to some feeding that I messed up, which also no doubt contributed. No worries, it'd all a learning curve!

All of them together:



Here are some pics of the cut down WW






I've also just started the AU on ripen nutes over the weekend so will start to flush after this week. She's produced some equally beautiful flowers, potentially even nicer than the WW in terms of looks and smell, much more fruity and aromatic.

New AU. As can be seen I've LST'd this plant quite significantly, and seems to have responded great. Nice green colour, but giving some subtle hints to bump the ppm up a bit. I have her on the same feed schedule as the White Sirius which I planted at the same time, but the AU now seems to be demanding more feed.

Couple more additions today! Added another auto white widow from DP, this time in a bigger pot to really see her potential! Also added a critical mass auto my friend gave me, that's the one in the air pot.



I'm making an attempt at recycling the coco from the prior grow. I ran quite a lot of water through it from the hose so hopefully should be nicely flushed, although I didn't check... Time will tell. Am I right in saying that coco does not particularly hold left over nutes and salt buildups as much as soil? Making it easier to flush?

Hi all, started the oldest AU on her flush this weekend, so two weeks today she'll be coming down. Showing lots of foxtails since putting her on ripen nutes, so thinking I started to flush in good timing. Still has a fresh and ripe smell, which unfortunately my white widow lost as I let her go too far

I'm also quite sure the leaf curling must be down to a watering I cocked up, combined with me neglecting the PH levels over last few months. I thought the nutes was bringing my water ph down enough as for some reason I had the idea soil / coco grows need a ph of around 6.5, but turns out its not too dissimilar to hydroponics.

LST'd baby auto ultimate:


As can be seen the new one is looking much healthier than the old AU when she was at the same stage, just shows how important the PH is.

Have also just popped two more beans, another white widow auto from DP and a critical mass auto from Big Buddha seeds.




Peace <3

Hey all!

I cut the Auto Ultimate down yesterday, and boy does she have a pungent aroma... I'm very happy she smells so strong as that means I did not cock this plant up Really is crazy how much of a difference it can make having the PH in the correct range.

Can't wait to see what this smell transforms into. Weight wise im guessing I got about 3-4oz dry, will confirm at a later stage. I expect the Auto Ultimate that is still in mid growth will achieve a better yield as it has much more foliage than the one i've just cut down had, and additionally has shown much less signs of stress and has a much greener pigmentation. I read that its the green pigmentation that's responsible for photosynthesis in plants, so by that I assume the greener the leaves the more energy can be stored in the plant to later be used in growth.

Anyways for some pics.

Auto Ultimate (being chopped):



Auto Ultimate + White Sirius: Both of these are a really nice and healthy shade of green, but I've just started to notice some tiny specs on the leaves and was wondering what could be causing it. Either way I doubt it will be stunting growth as long as it doesn't develop into something more serious. Any ideas what it could be? Possibly due to using a foliage spray?



One love, everybody!

Lush DP girls Bam :Sharing One:That AU looks well done !. DANK

Appreciate it man! Much less yield than the DWC Think Different I did couple of years back, but the quality in at LEAST 2x better this time around. There is not a single soft bud on the Auto Ultimate, the LEDs really have such good penetration that even the tiniest buds right at the bottom seem to be near the same quality as the ones right at the top.

I cant wait to see the difference in yield / size of the flowers between letting her grow naturally compared to LST'd. So far I would say she definitely responds better to LST, I guess cus it simply allows light to be more evenly spread over a great number of leaves.

Man I love growing I love how nature responds to a little bit of lovin' <3

Lol can't forget that DWC you did man .Beat me by a few grams there !.It is a wonderful hobby we all share bro :Sharing One:

So the old Auto Ultimate, that's some kind of cactus, right? Jeez...

 

[impulse741]

It does have that look doesent it. Started to foxtail a lot towards the end!

For an update on the existing ladies, they are now in full flower, and showing some really healthy looking buds. Expecting a much better yield from these
