Dutch Passion Lighting schedule question

[lilm00re14]

I started 18/6 - 20/4 but now always use 24/0. I think all quality true autoflowers appreciate it and DP are quality.

Thanks for the response. So far the plants look beautiful. I was just worried about them not flowering if the 24 on was too much. But now i feel a little better .

Initially just a few of our customers would grow under 24/7 light. These days it is a sizeable minority, I would say, that grow with 24/7.

Although 24/7 auto growing was not recommended in the early days of auto breeding we are happy to recommend 24/7 on our autos now. From what I can see the best of the modern auto genetics available today will grow under 24/7 and the DP varieties are definitely able to do so. Good luck.

I think DP should seriously consider proactively disseminating this information, that it's OK to grow DP autos 24/7. For example, include this in the description that all the seed companies use. Those currently (as I do) or considering running 24/7 will be reassured, and will likely grow more DP seeds. Plus, the apparent leading seed company endorsing 24/7 for its auto would improve the perception, 'brand' or image of autofllowering cannabis in general.

I concur on spreading the word on 24/7 I am a heavy proponent on grow 24/7. They need energy not rest a strong rudirelas plant that grows rapidly under 22 to 24 hours of light. That is why I picked autos for the simple fact of running light 24/7. In a Country where the pot growing laws are draconian it makes total sense to grow with a undisturbed light pattern. If you grow with 18/6 or 12/12 and probably 20/4 now too could be used as evidence to get a warrant form a Judge I have heard of light patterns being used in court cases. It gives me a piece of mind growing autos under 24/7 and so far DP have been the biggest and Think Different being one of the best weeds out there. I will be doing another Think different and auto ultimate grow this winter I will get 200 grams easy off the TD and close to 300 grams on the ULTIMATE I can hardly wait for that grow.

So youd recommend trying a think different or auto ultimate over blackberry kush? I have seeds for those plus starryder and white widow.... been pondering what to run next

 

[F.N.]

I would recommend all three. I have grown the bbka and expect 150 gram plants and up to 200 with think different and up to 300 with the auto ultimate. I have not grown the ultimate yet but have seen 300 gram plants. I have grown 300 gram auto extremes. If growing two go with think different and black berry kush auto. Think different is a smashing sativa high IMO and BBKA is more INDICA stone. Think different is in a league of its own. But to get huge plants I run allot of light and feed Advanced nutrients ph perfect line, I run sensi a/b grow and bloom, voo doo, sensizym, b52 bud candy, rhino skin, bud factor X, big bud, over drive,nirvana and tarantula, planet green cal mag,. I am a firm believer in overkill with exhaust I have a 5 foot by 5 foot tent I use a 8 inch inline fan and charcoal filter to match. I have passive ventilation plus a 6 inch inline forcing air into my grow room. I use 1420 true watts of led three different spectrum's. I use soil less mix pro mix HP HIGH POROSITY or sunshine mix #4 perfect soil less mix for growing huge ass plants and airpots at least 3 gallons but I use mostly 5 gallon airpots. Any questions ask away. You get out what you put in that is a fact. Oh yea I have never measured my ecu ppm or ph levels ever no pens no ph buffers they are just not needed. WEll I rambled I hope this helps someone grow huge ass plants

For sure i might have some more questions for you along the way. First auto run of 3 blue automazar in 5 gallon smart pots. I have the aptus plant tech nutrient line and will be using advanced nutrients iguana juice as my base npk. If the auto run goes well i plan to use both my tents to flower in for atleast a few cycles or maybe a year or so due to my limited space of 2 4x4 tents. But i do have 4 solar storm 440s and one solar storm 880. So i can dedicate lights at a 2 or three plants to 1 light ratio. Whatever proves to work best . =)

 

[F.N.]

Those solar storm are a bad ass light. I will look up your beneficial's aptus plant tech. You have 8 by 8 of blooming space man I would love 8 feet by 8 feet of growing space lol. You might need another 440 or so what do you think? I would love a couple of those 440's in my 5 foot by five foot tent

 

[lilm00re14]

If i put 4 440s in one tent . I could have the 880 i have in the 2nd. But i would probably consider one more 880. When i move in about a year i will have an entire finished basement and will be able to run co2 in a large room.

 

[lilm00re14]

So if i stagger it. I could harvest a full 4×4 tent every 35 days or so

 

[F.N.]

That will be a wicked set up add co2 to the mix and you will grow pound plus auto ultimates. Check out mr Ganagmotos 1 kilogram grows using c02 dutch pro nutrients and a array of lights. Yes 1 kilo plants
