Dutch Passion DP Auto Night Queen with GN HS1

[DerekCuster]

She should fatten up and get resinous quickly. Its possible that the genetics have just thrown you a squat indica bush plant, a little smaller than we would like to see. But like I said, she should deliver some nice quality buds and hopefully a plum main bloom. Your light theory is possible, old school growers will always say to have the light raised up to max hight (or have a smaller light for seedlings). Other main causes of stunted autos are temperatures on the low side, over watering and over feeding. But like I said, it could just be a smaller than average plant

You're not wrong, she's gaining weight nicely now and she's nice and frosty too, it's just a shame I got the start wrong. I'm becoming more convinced it was the new led being too close, as the new Autoblueberry has stretched more in 7 days than my last 3 managed in 3 weeks. I'll see how she goes for another few weeks before I leap to conclusions but it's going well so far.

Quick update...

Day 53

Temperatures have dropped to about 22C from around 27C until today, so I've added some cfl to provide some heat, otherwise all going fairly well.

And here is the little blueberry, she stretched a bit too much in the first 3 days but it's a nice change if I'm honest!

Keep up the good work Derek. Good luck with the baby BB! I hope this one grows through the roof

At day 53 she looks dank, lovely cola and as per expected with a HS1-frost galore! That looks like it's going to be some top shelf smoke

Thanks! I'm quite excited to see how she goes.

Thanks man, yeah I'm loving the buds, they're super frosty and rock hard. After this ABB I'm thinking I need to do another ANQ run and get it right this time!

Any update Derek?

Hey everyone, sorry I disappeared for a while. Had a family health scare so was back visiting whenever I could for the last two weeks. But now things are looking up (all hail the NHS!) and I have my spare time back for a while at least.

So the Auto Night Queen came down yesterday at day 75, trics were about 20% amber on the main top and it's all bagged and drying now.

Here are a few shots of the ANQ before she came down, it's not the biggest haul ever but it was some lovely looking bud!

Notice how the Auto Blueberry is the about the same height on day 25...

So the ABB is picking up the pace now and is growing about 3cm a day, she's on fishmix only at 2ml/L and is looking really happy with life and has a lovely structure to her. I've put the mars panel back in at high level (actually fixed to the tent roof) and she's liking the extra light so far. I'm thinking next time I'll keep the mars off the seedlings (and probably until I ditch the tent and build a taller, better space; but that's a few projects down the to-do list) and add it around day 15.

Nice progress dude.

Nice progress dude.

Thanks, I'm enjoying getting a little stretch and seeing the bright green new growth for a change! How's the Think Big is going? I need to catch up on progress.

Final weight is in and I got 29g off her. The buds are lovely, dense and covered in trics. I'll get some photos up soon. Smoke is amazingly relaxing, little happy bubble for about 20mins then the couch lock hits and everything is suddenly just fine.

I've never smoked much indica, always assumed I'd always prefer the happy head high I loved when I was first smoking, but this and the blueberry might be changing my mind..

I'm glad your Blueberry is doing so well @DerekCuster. It'd be nice for you to get a larger plant sometime

Ha! One day I'll grow a monster I'm sure, but I'm happy enough keeping myself going with these little ladies! So long as I dont get sick plants, and get good bud I'm more than happy.
