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

[Bob's Auto's]

Hey Friends and AFN Fam



Life is great inside the greenhouse at the moment. Temperatures are feasible, the wind is blowing from the right direction so there's a breeze blowing through it and the ladies are just loving their stay inside. The Auto Oh My Gusher is completely adapted to the condition inside. Took her a while, but then again, she's a real pistil popper...Check for yourselves

Even though the calyx's underneath are starting to expand. She still pushing out new ones.

Her buds are starting to fatten up nicely though. So I'm not worried. Two more weeks maximum...

The Auto Mac #1 is almost there.

Pistils are residing everywhere you look and she smells awesome!!

Even the leaf color is still A-OK. This is one healthy plant and all thanks to BioTabs

Let's not forget the genetics of this beast! That's on you my friends at Dutch Passion!! ♥

That's it for today again. Hope you liked what you saw and goodnight.

Hey Friends,

Today was a busy day. It was raining so a perfect time to get some things done in the greenhouse, while I had light. Cleaned up some stuff, readjusted some things. All's guuud

I decided it was time for the Auto Mac #1 to come down. The smell is amazing and she's ready peeps...

I did a first defoliation, removing all the fan leaves. This was what's left.

Freakishly frosty!!!

Just needs a little trim and we're done

Crazy amount of frost you guys!!

Later that day I took a cup of coffee along with my tray and trimming scissors and went back to the greenhouse.

And started trimming away. I took my time as it was nice and warm (26-28°C / 78-82°F) inside and sitting in there, my back can withstand trimming two plants, but that's why I did it in two steps. The trimming was after dinner, so maybe three hours between the defoliating and these pictures.

I did my best to take some shots while trimming, but sticky hands make bad picttures

Beautiful compact buds and did I tell you about the smell??? Ohhh, so sweet....Mhmmmmmm... ♥

I opened up them buds nice so to remove as much leaf as possible. There's so much bud, I can be a bit picky.

After trimming the lot from above and another plant that got harvested today. I went to the tent, which has now become a drying tent
The temperature being 25°C and humidity 52%. This gives me a decent drying time of around three days. The buds end up around 62-67%, by which I can still play while burping the jars.
But before this Auto SFV OG goes inside the jar, it first has got to be weighed...60gr. Very nice my friends!! I'm a happy camper

A nice plate filed with nothing but frosty Auto SFV OG from Dutch Passion you guys!!!
Thanks @Antonio_DutchPassion for providing the seeds, as always very much appreciated and you know it, right...Always welcome buddy!!

Regards,

Bob

Thanks for the rep @DeanOnAuto & @Zaaboot
Meanwhile we're in the home stretch with our Auto Oh My Gusher...This lady has been taking her time, but is now slowly but steadily starting her expanse.

Only at the very top fresh pistils are still being produced, but going lower down the bud they are slowly starting to yellow up.

The calyx's are also starting to swell up, so both is a good thing

I'm gonna make sure she'll be getting all the love she needs...

Oh baby, I still remember the cookie smell from a month ago...grrrr....habahaba

Nice white buds, I do love my white buds

Gonna call this Late Flower for this girl in the Official Grow 'n Show thread.
In this thread I'm gonna be saying goodbye and see you next time




Regards,

Bob

Hey Dutch Passion afficionado's

to my greenhouse.
I've taken some nice shots of this OMG girl from Dutch Passion for you to enjoy. She's slowly chugging along and starting to show some deficiencies.

I've therefor given her two liters water with two tablespoons of Silicium Flash in it, together with 10ml Orgatrex and one teaspoon of Bactrex. Even though we are almost at the endline and for some of the nutrients it will be to late. I still believe in a healthy plant, which will give more and/or better quality smoke. What I don't want to do is give her some Calcium Nitrate, which would be easy as I have Kilo's still in stock, but this would influence the taste and that's something I don't want to compromise on anymore.

The Calyx's look nice and swollen already. She's filling out, she's doing it @Antonio_DutchPassion

Next time I'll go closer towards the flowers, but it's always a battle in my head when I take the pictures...Show as much as possible or get as much detail as possible....Usually the first wins

for visiting and I'll see you back soon



Regards,

Bob

I just did it again...Posted the pictures from my breeding run in this thread.


Anyhoo, the Auto Oh My Gusher has filled up nicely my friends. So much so that one branch has succumbed by the weight and dropped to the ground...

As Antonio predicted she's foxtailing, so she's keeping on piling up on them pistils and that's why I'm calling it quits for this lady.

At 86 days, she's far enough and will be hung upside down as a whole plant. That way the trichomes can ripen a bit further while the plant finally succumbs to the absence of water and light.

Bob

Thanks for sharing @Bob's Auto's Hope you had a good holiday mate!

I'm glad to see she managed to survive the greenhouse and worse weather of the past weeks without any budrot/fungus though!
But as you say, I think if you let her carry on you can wait another 2-3 weeks to let everything ripen. After 12 weeks it might be nice to trim and dry her now instead.

with this final act, all the best my man

Thank you my friend!!
Went to the greenhouse to find my lady buckled over. She just couldn't hold the weight. But as soon as I cut that stem, it sprung back...So the fall over couldn't have happened very long ago.
I hung her upside down and started to remove all the fan leaves.

This also gave me the opportunity to check for mold...

...Of which I'm happy to report I only found two small buds, which got cut away.

The remainder of the plant was hung as a whole inside the shed.

We all know that the plant doesn't die immediately and the more you leave it intact, the longer the chemical processes can endure and ripen the buds even further. At the very least the pistils will start to shrivel...By next week the plant won't be dry by a long shot and that'll give me the chance to trim the buds and dry them further inside the tent.

Regards,

Bob

Hey AFN Fam



After four days there was room in the drying tent and so it was time to get my girl from the shed and trim her up...

Started by dividing the branches into manageable pieces and got to remove the leaves.

Such frosty buds...My hands and also scissors where sticking and had to be cleaned multiple times over this trim session.

I was left with this kind of buds on a stick.

All them buds got cleaned up as much as possible and then the tray was transported to the tent where the buds are now in a nice drying environment. The humidity is hovering around 52% and the temperature between 24.7 - 25.2°C/76.46 - 77.36°F

While cleaning my hands and scissors I managed to get myself a nice piece of hash, which is already in my system at the time of this writing

Hey Dutch Passion aficionada's

Today my journey with the three Dutch Passion cultivars from this season comes to an end...It's like that good ol' sayin'....All good things must come to an end...

Auto Mac #1 a couple of days inside the jar @59% humidity. Perfect!!!

Zeroing the scales...

Exactly 50gr. That's not a bad haul if I may say so

Nice bud. Give's a nice and comfy high. Spent an entire day on it when I locked myself out of the house and had to keep warm with a blanket and my outside fire place. Had a compfy chair, the whole jar, papers, but no tobacco. Nah, never figured out how long I was outside before my misus came home. héhé

 

[Bob's Auto's]

And to finally end this show you guys, I have the weighing pictures of my OMG

Zeroing the scales...

68gr of primo bud

One and a half jar. That's ok in my book!!

So with all the plants harvested all my empty jars are full once more. I'm one happy camper you guys
Thanks go out to my main man Antonio for providing the seeds, AFN for providing this amazing environment where we can share our knowledge and last but not least all of you guys...for reading here, watching at the pics. It doesn't matter. I can only hope someone learned or enjoyed this thread.

Bob
