Dutch Passion Bob takes Dutch Passion on a BioTabs tour inside the Greenhouse - Growing Auto SFV OG, Auto MAC #1 & Auto Oh My Gusher on BioTabs

Hey Friends


My Sticker from High of the Tiger has arrived Today!!

Stuck it where it belonged...

The Auto Mac #1...You are making me doubt my decision @Dank Nuggets...Maybe I'll put two in one pot and repot that one to a 20gallon pot inside the greenhouse...

Oh My Gusher, selection will be between the first and second. The third is looking a bit sad...No sad girls in my playground

Auto SFV OG, definitely the first one at the moment...

That's all folks....


Regards,

Bob

Hey Friends,

After all the hard work yesterday I was completely locked up...Spent the entire day on the couch, so filling pots will be something for tomorrow.
I did transplant my selected seedlings into the 3.5pots where the S.o.S. girls had been residing.
I just kept the soil damp, not wet by giving some water with a hefty dose of Pure Zym from Plagron added to that. The enzymes start breaking down the root system and that will be the nutrients for the seedlings.
Before opening the soil I gave each pot 200ml water with Bactrex added to that. Then with both hands ripping the soil open, creating a crevice where the seedling could fit. Then dusting it with a teaspoon of Mycotrex.
The tray with the seedlings got soaked as well as to make it easier to separate the rootball and seedling from the rest of the soil. I think I've done a reasonable job. Think two seedlings are probably not going to make it...See for yourself.

This left one looked very sad by the time I closed the tent up...

The happy one!!!

The sad one

Both these girls will make it

Decided to keep all three Mac's and transferred two into one pot. Guess the closest to the camera will probably not make it...

Looking healthy...

Both these OG's are looking great

Regards,

Bob

Thanks for the rep @Antonio_DutchPassion

Hey you guys!!! Ah, love that movie..."Stoned Bob?", "Yup, I am, yup"

We have lift off guys!!! The seedlings are taking off and don't need to be watered as much like in the beginning. The roots are migrating into the reused soil to which I did nothing except cut out the thick stem. Roots remained in the soil, which means the new roots can take advantage of the pathways the old roots have made, trust me...I've read it somewhere
I've also raised the output of the TS-1000. It went from 15% to 30%. The first days I wanted the seedlings to focus their energy on the roots as they needed to get a foothold in the soil. But now I see some seedlings stretching a bit and that is completely due to the low light output. Feel like they can handle the 30%

Amazing genetics inside these Dutch Passion girls. Have a look at the little one I f#(ked up while transplanting...It's still alive and kicking!! Whohoo

Nice right?

This is the solo girl, all alone in that big pot...She'll do just fine

Both these San Fernando Valley OG's are in prime condition.

I'm not a big fan of Kush, but this cultivar I had to try. The combination with Auto Glueberry OG was just to exciting not to grow one. ♥

Just like the Mac #1, I fumbled this one. It also got a bump while transplanting and looked like it wouldn't make it, but just like the Mac #1 it survived and stood up all by itself

Of course this will be the one that makes it inside the greenhouse. It has som much more growth then her sister, but then again this one got everything right

Have I told you guys how much I love these narrow, but high pots?

Have a look how much downward these seedlings' roots can grow before they reach the bottom.

Some overview shots...These girls look amazing

Still compiling the time lapse so you guys will have to wait a bit longer, but for now I'm going to end this chatter as I need to update my other thread.

So the time lapse finally compiled and compressed so I could upload it to the AFN server without overloading.
Duration = 72hours, speed = 120fps. Please enjoy

@St. Tom, Thanks mate! You're making me blush

Hey Friends


Today it was finally time to water the pots thoroughly. It took almost a week for the water inside the pots to be used up. But I do feel the roots have journeyed down to the bottom. I gave almost 2L/0.5gallon water with a teaspoon of Bactrex. I rather they have to much bennies then not enough.
Have a look for yourselves

The ladies love the extra light they are receiving and will be receiving some more for the coming days. This weekend I'll be transferring and transplanting the plants in their final pots inside the greenhouse

Three Auto Mac to choose from. The smallest one is the one I fumbled, but the genetics is just so fine that it recovered from my mistake.

My preference goes out to the one on the right, which looks the finest though...

Right side will be a large one, perfectly suited to the greenhouse environment

Leaves look healthy as f#(k!!! The soil still has so many nutrients available I'm only giving water.

You can probably guess which one I'm going to keep, right?

Let's finish today's post with another time lapse...Duration = 96hours, speed = 120fps. Enjoy

Regards,

Bob

Bob the girls are looking great

Hey Friends

Divided another two liter water between the pots. But besides that I've done nothing to these girls.

It's almost time to transfer the selectees to their final pots inside the greenhouse.

So, I'm just gonna shut up and let you enjoy the pictures

Today's time lapse is 73hours long and running at 60fps. Enjoy

Regards,

Bob

Hey you guys!!
Today was the day...Yesterday it got to warm to sit inside the greenhouse and today and the next days it will be cloudy. So no better time to put the selectees where they belong
It all starts with a hand dug hole, liberally dusted with some Mycotrex. Next job was to, carefully, caress the roots and soil out of the pot. And put it inside the hole.

While I was digging the hole I turned my back a couple of seconds towards the selected plants and, son of a gun...The chickens were picking the leaves...tsss... This is the selected Mac #1 out of all plants!!!

All three girls got the same treatment and only need a bit of water (10L) with some added Bactrex (5gr.) and Orgatrex (20ml) in it. Each plant received about 1.5L from that said mix. Next up where the Floraflex Matrix discs. Bought these in a whim a couple of years ago and never used them. I figured they would come handy in an automated watering system?

Once everything got connected, read on in my other thread HERE, it was time to test the system out. For the moment yet manual controlled, but this will soon be changed as I've ordered new MCU's for the controllers. Then I'll be able to get rid of that pesky Tuya device thing...For now, it's the Tuya app that switches the relays on or off.

Four pots are connected to this controller. One palm and three "ladies"

Oh, before I forget...In three days it's Boom Boom Spray time

Bob
