Dutch Passion Bob's Dutch Passion Grow - Auto Trichome & Cream and Auto Mimosa Punch on BioTabs

[Bob's Auto's]

happy days my Friend!

Oh happy day's to come my friend
These ladies are happy inside the tent
Auto Trichome & Cream - Day 75

Almost done, but not quite yet my friends...Have a look at those pistils. Most still nice and fresh.
Auto Mimosa Punch - Day 75

This lazy bum is a branch of my Amnesia Something something that creeped underneath the canopy and started creating one of the biggest buds on that plant!

I took some 'flash' shots...Winter is coming my friends...Oh, yeah

Today's time lapse is made at 120fps as things are really starting to slow down as you might have guessed. Duration = 81 hours, so enjoy the show






Regards,

Bob

Hey Friends,


It seems as if the harvest window is opening up...Some of my cultivars are clearly almost there, while others might need a couple of days more...
So, I'm checking daily now with the scope. Of course I like to share, so please enjoy
On a sidenote... Temperatures outside have dropped significantly and this also impacts the temperature in the tent. It's barely 19°C/66°F inside. Luckily humidity is hanging around 48% so I'm not worried about mold or anything.

The Mimosa Punch looks like she's got a couple of days before she'll show some ambers...

There are even place with clear patches...

The Trichome and Cream makes me wonder as she showing amber, but also loads of clear trichomes...

The Amnesia looks like she is the furthest showing these amount of ambers all over.

As you can see in the time lapse...These ladies are shutting down for the season.







Regards,

Bob

Hey Friends


Bit the bullet today...

It was time to harvest the two ladies in the back and make some room for my two DP ladies.

First I harvested the Do-Si-Dos Auto...Which, if you look carefully, you see me pulling from the underside of the SCROG net. I wanted to hang the ladies as a whole to slow down the drying process. I have 14 days before someone has access to the drying space (don't bother asking...incredible long and complicating story...), so with the temperature inside the lung room at 18.6°C / 65.5°F and humidity at 54% I think I have a good chance to get this dry enough to trim and jar in this time...

I also removed my Amnesia Something something from the equation. This created loads of headroom for the Mimosa Punch and the Trichome & Cream. So these got re-adjusted and laid down on top of the SCROG netting.

This being the result of my work today...

Since all the branches were moved down at least 10cm / 4inch, I could adjust the light a bit to get the temperatures back above 23°C / 73°F as I feel the two remaining Dutch Passion ladies can still benefit from a prolonged vacation under the artificial sunlight.

Also lowered the extraction fan even more as humidity is still around 45% and the less air that needs to be removed the less heat that get's sucked away...Yeah...Win Win

And so today's time lapse end's where today's post begins... Speed = 120fps, duration = 73 hours...Enjoy




Regards,

Bob

I missed you're thread mate but I'm here now.
I can't get use to social media at all you would think after a year I would be sound.

No problem m8. It's all guuuud
Went to the tent today to check up on the ladies and because I was curious how the smell would be. Seems I have been worrying for nothing. The extraction fan in the tent not only creates a vacuum inside the tent, but does this also for the lung room. So now I can dry without having to worry about the smell.

While I was up there I made some pictures, as we all know you can't get enough of it

These Dutch Passion ladies are really something...When I harvested the Do-Si-Dos I found out just how much she had branched out and stretched. Inside this small tent she didn't fare to well producing loads of small popcorn buds. But I do think that this one is to be repeated next season in the greenhouse...with enough soil to feed her big and bulky and then end up with that amount of frost! Noice!!!
...But I was talking about the DP ladies...Look at how they have bulked up and still with loads of nice green leaves.
Auto Mimosa Punch - Day 83

Other angle, same bud site as the picture above. As you can see, she still can benefit of some extra time under the light.
I've got enough in my jars and I'm in no hurry and as you'll see in a moment the harvest window for these ladies is just starting to open up...

I also went for a closer look and checked the trichomes...Don't know exactly which picture is which cultivar, but you can see the first ambers starting to appear. Let's see how far I'm willing to let these girls go. I'm game for some night time medicine

No time lapse for today you guys... If you really need your dose. Go up a couple of posts and check one of those

Beautiful organic buds Bob! I’ve got to do a Dutch Passion grow coming up. Got some Glue berry OG and Critical Orange Punch.

Thanks mate!! They do smell very tasty and sweet.
Tag me when you start them DP girls. That Glue berry sure looks interesting, although not for in my tent.

Hey AFN Fam


We're almost at the finish line...The girls are barely drinking and the leaves are starting to die off one by one. But that's how the cookie crumbles I guess...

The buds are looking nice and frosty

As you can see the trimjob won't be that bad. And with the leftovers I can make me some hash or butter

Yum!

What do you guys/gals think?

Maybe some trichome shots to help make up your mind will do the trick?

Still, here and there some clear trichomes...

And also ambers in between the clear trichomes.

At 85 day's today I feel I can start preparing for the next grow

Gonna give it a couple of days. I want to see a bit more amber and a lot less clear! Night night...ZZzzz...

In the background you see non-glandular trichomes. Those are the spikey ones and are primarily used for defense, either mechanical or by secreting sugars.

The values inside the tent are also perfect, especially knowing that it's so cold outside...brrrr...Summertime in the tent...

That's it for today friends




Regards,

Bob

Yes mate, they look as good as done! I would personally put them one-two days in the dark and trim the whole lot.

Good luck and hope you enjoyed the grow

Oh, I'm gonna keep 'm a bit longer mate. Have the feeling the buds are still expanding...It has been a blast! That's for sure.
Top genetics with an amazing nutrient line = Great results

I've really never ever did a light's out as there's no proof it works, but you've given me so much great advice over the last years, that I'm going to accept this 'bro-science' with my eyes closed and will turn the lights off Thursday night. I do have a couple of questions...

1. Any idea what the low temperatures (13-16°C / 55 - 60°F) will do to the plants? Can it hurt?
2. Should I water before lights out, or would the last water gift be on Wednesday if I'm turning the lights off on Thursday...
3. I assume I keep both monkey and extraction fan running so humidity stays around 45%

I would like a bit more amber on these ladies...

...But we are definitely there my friends.

Laying the buds on their sides has given some parts some extra light and that's why I feel (and you to after watching today's time lapse) they can still use some time under the light...These leaves aren't showing signs of giving up, rather trying to stay green and photosynthesize...

Some buds, like the one above and below indeed have had their best time. And I could start harvesting those, but then I have to keep an eye on those buds separately and that's to much work...

This larger cola is indeed still busy and expanding...Yup, I'm at least waiting until Saturday before I'm cutting it down.

I'm at the max of my pictures, so I'll write the values from the monitor down here...
Temp = 21.9 °C / 71.4 °F
Light = 39178 lx
CO² = 530 ppm
Atmos. press. = 1010.2 Pa
Humidity = 44.9 %
