Dutch Passion DP Auto Ultimate & Think Different outdoor grow (30L Airpots)

[Terra Firma]

Hi everyone,

I decided to harvest one of the Think Different plants I had outside. It's quite frosty but the buds are not very compact. However, that's peanuts compared the number of black/green aphids in there. I also found a bunch of small caterpillars. I'm drying the buds in some large paper envelopes, to prevent any live aphids from getting to my other drying buds, although any remaining aphids will be stuck to the trichromes most likely. Once dry I'll turn it into some iso hash.

lovely result terra, i thought the Auto Ultimates had a respectable size to them and you did a good job considering the challenges and the outdoor weather! I hope you enjoy the harvest, all the best from us!

Thanks Tony. I was a little dissappointed with the size of the plants, but that might be due to the rather large (ca. 1.3m) Blue Automazar I grew outside last summer.

I still have two Auto Ultimate's inside. One is on plain water and the other is still on bloom nutrients. I have my HS1 LED set on the first plant, which is fattening up nicely. I think I'll harvest her in about 1 week. The other will go for at least 2 more weeks I think. It all depends on how long I can keep mould at bay in my 'sauna'.

Day 92 update (13 weeks + 1 day).

All is looking good in my tent. The Auto Ultimate that's being flushed is doing well. No signs of yellowing leaves yet and swelling nicely.

I've also filled pots for my next grow. Each 30L airpot has a 2L airpot on top of it (two 1L airpots joined together). I've also put two AutoBlackberry Kush seeds in some moist paper to germinate.

I jarred up the AU I harvested so I can get a RH% reading. Strange thing is that it hardly smells of cannabis. It kind of smells like dried hay/grass untill you squeeze it a few times. The plant didn't smell very strongly when alive either. Neither are the buds very compact. Anyone have any ideas what could cause this? High humidity/temperature?

What I do know is that it's nice and frosty and quite strong. Hopefully a good cure will fix it =)

I bought Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow A+B and Bloom A+B for my next grow. Maybe that will make a difference.

Hey everyone,

I have some more pictures of my Auto Ultimates for you. They're now on day 97 (14 weeks minus 1 day) and both on water. The leaves are starting to yellow up now, and the trichromes are mostly cloudy. I'm going to take down plant number 1 (the least number of leaves) on Saturday. Plant number 2 will go a little longer I think. The buds are becoming compacter and are better formed than the Auto Ultimate I harvested earlier. The plants don't smell much until you squeeze the buds, upon which they produce a lovely smell.

Hi everyone,

I took my Think Different harvest (30g dry) with aphid skeletons and all, and tried my hand at making QWISO. It's evaporating as we speak.

During preparations I found 4 Think Different seeds . I have no idea how they got there because the plant didn't hermie. Possibly some pollen in the wind? Anyway, I put one into moist toilet paper to germinate. I hope it will autoflower.

I've also added some quick budporn pictures of the Auto Ultimate that's coming down today.

Hi everyone,

I harvested one of my Auto Ultimates last night at day 101 (14 weeks + 3 days). It was an easy trim as the bud:leaf ratio was quite favourable. I was quite surprised by the amount of bud, and how compact they were. there was a lovely piney smell coming off them too.

I'll post the other pictures tonight. Just a quick picture of the trimmed buds for now.
