Dutch Passion Bob's Dutch Passion Grow - Auto Night Queen and Auto White Widow do Karel's BioTabs...

[Bob's Auto's]

Hey growers!!

Little miss White Widow has emerged from the soil. I made a couple more holes in the foil, but I don't want to remove it before all four have emerged. Humidity is very low momentarily because all the water is more or less contained inside the pots. I could place a tray with water in the tent and see how the humidity probe reacts. Mmmhmmmm, good idea. I'll do that

And number three is up and running. This time it's a Auto Night Queen

@DCLXVI Hey buddy, after thinking over Antonio's advice I pulled her today and replaced with one of the three Night Queen seedlings.

There were two nice seedlings, one is shown above and the other one got planted in pot n°4 here...

Zoomed in a bit...

The third seedling remains in it's cup until I'm sure that the Night Queen I choose to keep is doing well.
You can probably see why this one remained in the cup?

So, Night Queen n°1, what do you guys think?

Maybe have a look at the time lapse, as this is what kept me from trashing her. She's actually growing, although staying low to the ground.
What do you say @Antonio_DutchPassion? Keep her or replace with the third seedling?





And finally but not least...Actually she's my pride and joy and looking absolutely stunning.... Miss White Widow n°1

Looking healthy all over and only at day twelve. Going like a train...

...







Regards,

Bob

Hey friends

Welcome to my perfectly running thread. Do I have a plethora of beauties to show you guys

Let's begin with the younger ladies inside... I have watered them for the last time before they get connected to the water tank. Added a spoon of Bactrex to the water (1L) and watered around the plants circumventing the leaf tips.

As you might have noticed I culled the little one in the cup.
Auto Night Queen n°3 - day 12

Mhmmm...Lookin' guuuuddd...
Auto Night Queen n°2 - day 12

Auto Night Queen n°2 - day 12

This lady doesn't have any problem at all... If we didn't know what happened before you couldn't even see it anymore...
Auto Night Queen n°1 - day 22

I cleaned up a couple of single fingered leaves which were touching the ground. Better to prevent then to cure was the thinking behind this.

And finally... My favorite plant in the tent and this is only based upon her growth I must admit
Well, maybe also because I've got so many fond memories about this weed.
Auto White Widow - day 22

Removed two fan leaves that we're covering to many side shoots. I had to remove them, but did so with a sterile surgery knife as I don't want to do anything to introduce pathogens inside the plant.
Auto White Widow - day 22

This did open the canopy a whole lot more to the light though...

I've also found the first female pre flowers on the plant. So we're heading in the right direction

Alright peeps

Been a couple of days. Back problems are giving me hell. I did try to keep both this and my other thread alive by alternating posts...But today we're doing it the way of old... All technical stuff in the Mars Hydro thread and everything about the plants in here

Let's begin with the amount of defoliating I have to do every day to keep the canopy nice and open for the shoots to pop through. I've said it before, but it's amazing how they grow over a short span of time (you'll see in a moment). What do you guys think of my work under the skirts?

I admit, in the back there's still a dark patch, this will we be dealt with tomorrow.

The above view is from after tucking and defoliating, so it looks nasty
But the White Widow is forming clusters of pistils which is a good sign.

The two younglings are growing more fierce then their older sister which has stayed low and produced a mass of side shoots, which I'm sad to say will have been thinned out as there where just to much of 'm. For these younglings I'm more pruning away the fanleaves which keep growing and blocking the light for the shoots. So this is what I do (almost) every day.

The light is back at 75% as the temperature was getting to high. Probably because the family choose to take a shower instead of a bath. (different boilers)

The two plants on the left are 36 days old and the two on the right are 26 days old. Left Front = Auto White Widow, Left Back = Auto Night Queen n°1, Right Back = Auto Night Queen n°2 and Right Front = Auto Night Queen n°3.
Oh, I squeezed the last centimeters I could by pulling the ratchets a bit tighter gaining about 5cm / 2" and now the monkey fan still blows over the light, but half of it goes underneath the light silently fanning the leaves. The light still hangs level, but...

...is quite twisted inside the tent. As long as no sides touch the tent there shouldn't be any problem I guess..??

And finally to end todays post another time lapse. Yeah, sorry guys, but because all the tucking it's impossible to say which plant is which anymore, so a zoomed in wouldn't do any good. If any of you would like to see a specific part of the view, just ask






Regards,

Bob

Ah yes, this explains it (5cm should normally be fine btw) Indeed, turn the knob for the water supply a notch and let them dry out for a few days.
If the leaves start slightly turning upwards again you know you have find the reason for it ;-)

Other ladies that seem to start drying out faster than the AWW can get a little water from above.

Keep it up mate

Yesterday I took some soil and squeezed it in my hand and water came out. This morning it wasn't the case so about an hour ago I adjusted the tap so only a small trickle came out and let it run.

Now reading your reply I hurried back and closed the tap. I know, to impatient...
Oh, I also raised the front left corner by turning the leg a quarter turn anti-clock wise. This way the pot should be a bit higher and the Night Queen should be the one standing the longest in the water. At least that's my theory.

But for now none are getting any water until tomorrow. That should be enough to see if water pressure was the culprit. The picture above is also for my reference so I remember what position gave a trickle as that black tube is hell to get of...


So while I was up there I thought, why not take some more pictures for ya guys and gals
Let's begin with the top side and end underneath the skirts

This Night Queen is looking mighty fine!!
Auto Night Queen n°1 - day 39

These younglings are starting to mature and become real ladies...
Auto Night Queen n°2 - day 29

Auto Night Queen n°3 - day 29

Some parts of White Widow are starting to look a bit better...

Skirt time baby...

And lastly the 'new angle' time lapse. What do you guys/gals think?

Oh Bob, you truly feed my canna - soul. Sorry you're in so much pain, I've got similar circumstances from messed up neuro surgery so I really feel you. I hope that your lovely WW helps, weekly averages is sound by me btw. I haven't posted at all for a week and am always grateful to see yours. Keep strong

Thank you again for the kind words
The WW surely helps. I can forgo my morning and afternoon painkillers and muscle relaxants if I smoke one in the morning and one after lunch. It does make me sleepy and that's why I'm currently awake at 03:20 hours, but the muscle relaxants make me drowsy as well so...

Later this afternoon, actually yesterday afternoon... I went to the lung room for another thread and while at it took some pictures from inside the tent.

I turned of the TS-1000 and took a couple of pictures with the flash on. When I saw them I was amazed as well...So it deffinitly isn't you

Compared to the above pictures these must look like...well...inferior. But know very well that hidden behind this façade is loads of holy trichomes...only a flash away

The time lapse will have to wait until this afternoon...I feel sleepy now...

Hey AFN fam

It's been a great week so far. My back issues have subsided so much that I don't need to take any pain killers, probably got to do with the warmer weather we're having and the fact that I've been mobile the last couple of days while it was hurting... Another great perspective is the White Widow that will come down in a couple of days. I know I said to do it tomorrow, but we're having my missus's parents over this weekend and her father is going to help set up the swimming pool. And where are all the swimming pool supplies??? Yup, in the shed where I dry my herb...
Auto White Widow - day 72

This one is also almost done. She's showing more amber then the White Widow, but that's all ok. I want her to be very sedative. Especially because I'm gonna make bubble out of most of her and her younger siblings.
Auto Night Queen n°1 - day 72

But take a look at both the younger Night Queens. These look completely different. I left most of their leaves resulting in more energy for buds. And there are buds enought on these... Think I'll better start stocking up on bags of ice-cubes.

Bob

Hey friends

After a good nights rest I got the time and opportunity to harvest my Auto White Widow. She's 76 day's old and prime for harvest.
These are the before pictures...

I wanted to dry the whole plant as the temperatures this week are on the high side and I wanted a slow as possible drying...

These buds are super hard and will provide me with that well deserved high I crave so much.

These are the smallest of the buds/popcorn nugs, but even these are somewhat packed tight. Hounesty does compel me to say they are called popcorn nugs for some reason, no?

This of course is after trimming... And while this was an easy trimjob, it would have gone smoother if I could take one branch at a time from the plant and in a comfortable position trim that branch, but ya...I wanted a slow(er) dry, so now neck hurts, lol

This top is amazing!! When dry I'll definitly take some more pictures to end this the way it should be done

Actually all the buds on this lady are just amazing and I could know...I've been smoking her for weeks already. Look at the above pictures and see how many of those branches are cut. Those where all these kind of buds...

And I have to admit that I could have done a better job in trimming, but if I sat the plant on the ground it was to low and on the table it was to high...

But I'll get these once the plant is dried enough and then I'll trim the buds nice and short before they go into the jar(s?)

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed todays post and don't be to envious like I usually am, just remember...your closet, tent, greenhouse, garden and so on will soon bear fruit and piss me the hell off because I smoked all my weed to much and to fast


Regards,

Bob

Hey AFN fam

So today between soil mixing and running for a deluge I had some time left and took the White Widow out the shed. The outside was already very crispy to the touch so I decided to harvest her. It's because of these very hot days that everything dry's like a mf...
An hour after I put the buds in the jar the humidity measures 78%, but that's ok. Took the buds out the jar to let them dry a bit (while testing some out) more and I'll put them back into the jar later this evening.

Sorry if the buds don't look nicely trimmed, but they are to nice not to smoke and they aren't even cured yet.

No White Widow Hashish from this run. Maybe from the next?

Regards,

Bob
