Dutch Passion Bob takes Dutch Passion on a BioTabs tour inside the Greenhouse - Growing Auto Test PA, Auto Skywalker Haze & Auto White Widow

[kfigerm]

I use this one --> 2k Hd 2560x1440p Usb Digital Microscope 40x To 1000x Handheld Mini Magnifier Endoscope Camera For Android Phone Wins Mac Linux - Endoscope Camera - AliExpress and am very happy with it. Much better then my old one, which had the same form, but only a resolution of 640x480. This one goes to 2K and has image stabilization, which is good for us old tremor folk
It has an USB-C adapter and you need to use it with 'INSKAM' for Android. In Inskam you do need to set the resolution to 2K every time you start the program. I forgot that at first and complained about the bad quality.

thanks for that input, linux "support" sounds fine, that means there's a standard hardware in there that might give even better performance than thought (in combination with the little penguin).

The quality is really good for the money I payed so that's why I can recommend it.

I also have another update for ya'll...It's been a few days since my last update, but I have been busy with work, family and life
Now that the Auto Test PA has been harvested (She's still drying btw) the two remaining ladies are also finishing off.
This White Widow is still drinking, but is cannibalizing it's leaves for nutrients which is fine by me as I want to reuse the soil and this way it is as depleted as possible for next use.
Auto White Widow - day 70

According to the spec sheet she should be done somewhere between August 16th and 26th which is still two weeks away, but to short for me to feed them some extra PK Compost Tee as this takes time to be available for the plants...
Auto White Widow - day 70

Mhmmmm ....Guess I'm gonna do water only until the end...
Auto White Widow - day 70

She does already have some fine buds on her don't she?
Auto White Widow - day 70

And then there is this Skywalker Haze. She has stopped drinking as her soil was still wet this evening and it was a hot day...
Auto Skywalker Haze - day 70

Looking at the flowers they look as ready as can be. But as you can see it's all foxtails...But each calyx is covered with trichomes! So this will be an interesting trimjob I think...
Auto Skywalker Haze - day 70

According to her spec sheet she should also still need two more weeks, but I'm afraid she won't get there. Anyone with experience how long an auto will last when it stops drinking? I'm tagging a couple locals @St. Tom, @Antonio_DutchPassion, but anyone else feel free to chime in

I'm not sure on the time frame once they stop drinking @Mañ'O'Green may be able to help you out with your question

 

[Antonio_DutchPassion]

Maybe she got too much water the last time... there are many reasons for plants drinking less water, clogged soil/roots is one of them. And yes, when they get older and get close to the finish line the usage of water changes a lot. During late VEG, early and middle flowering are usually the times you need to water the most. Especially during the 'bulking phase' in my opinion, so as soon as the white hairs have popped up until the flowers have become dense and are slowly starting to ripen. During the last phase it is usually best to slow down the watering.

To be honest I think you just caught an unlucky phenotype of the Auto Skywalker Haze... one that also doesn't seem to like the hot days that much, but I have seen this happening with some indoor specimens too, so it is probably genetic related. A little too fluffy/leafy for my cup of tea I have seen quite dense and massive flowers indoors too!

I'll try her out soon enough, that way I'll know if I want to grow her again. Have been having some strange reactions lately on Sativa heavy cultivars. Giving me the jitters...

Took some trichome shots to see where we are with the two remaining Dutch Passion ladies...

Hey friends

Another Dutch Passion update from within the greenhouse...

My White Widow is smelling amazing!! A nice floral smell is emitting from her buds. Speaking of which, these buds are super dense and not to big as to attract mold. I'm glad I decided to top all the plants as I did (5th node and remove 1ste & 2nd node shoots) as this provides me with six nice sized colas
Auto White Widow - day 74

These buds are packed with a nice crystalline coating
Auto White Widow - day 74

She is starting to show some signs of aging, but hey...She's got less then two weeks to go...
Auto White Widow - day 74

Can't get enough of this one...Definitely my favorite!!

Next we have this little 'sage' freak girl. Very curious how this smoke turns out
Auto Skywalker Haze - day 74

Calyx's are all swollen to the max!!
Auto Skywalker Haze - day 74

Her branches are packed full with these swollen calyx's, but it will be a job to get all of them out off in between those leaves

Hey Friends

Were almost on the finish line with our Dutch Passion ladies. Both are at day 79 now and taking up less and less water.
This White Widow does smell delicious and looks almost perfect. Only the fact that the leaves are being cannibalized make the plant less attractive, but hey...Less trimming for Bob
Auto White Widow - day 79

A golden oldie, 30+ years old, but look at those trichomes!!

Yeah...well...That's a truckload of rosin I'm looking at brothers and sisters
Auto Skywalker Haze - day 79

I'll check the trichomes on Sunday and then decide if I'll chop this one or not, but I don't think she's going to do something other then wither from now on...
