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

Definitely Bob! :pighug: Just keep them happy and they will reward you, hopefully still in time for your holiday, they seem a bit slow, besides the Auto SFV OG ;-)
 
Day 50
Hey growers :toke:

A sunny day today!! Not to hot as well, so these ladies are loving it in the greenhouse. :d5:

The Auto Mac #1 is fifty days old today and she's chugging along nicely.
1687544724053 _small.jpg


Pistils poppin' everywhere you look :thumbsup:
1687544724047 _small.jpg


Next up, we have the Auto San Fernando Valley OG...This lady is really showing off everything she has.
1687544724042 _small.jpg


Being the furthest along of all three Dutch Passion girls, some of her calyx's are already beginning to swell up...
1687544724033 _small.jpg


Lovely isn't she? :hump:
1687544724028 _small.jpg


And finally we have the biggest girl in the greenhouse...She's been stretching none stop ever since the hot weather has subsided...
1687544724022 _small.jpg


Slowly she's transgressing into flower.
1687544724017 _small.jpg


Being a bit on the late side @Antonio_DutchPassion said, this has most likely been caused by being transplanted into the 7gallon pots...Which would indicate that there's something inside the roots that's causing the plants to transgress into flowering...
That being said, I'm happy that these girls got to enjoy a longer vegging period. The larger the plant ánd root mass, the bigger the flowers will be. And since we're not growing leaves, this is a good thing!! :cool1:

Day 52
Hey AFN Fam :bighug:

The weather has slowed down it's pase and temperatures inside the greenhouse are a confortable 32°C / 90°F. The ladies are really enjoying this :thumbsup:
One thing though and that is, that the pot's aren't as dry as they are used to. So I decided not to water them today. Hopefully I won't regret this tomorrow when I come back from work...

Anyhoo...Let's get this Dutch Passion bonanza on the road!! Chooohooo!!!!

Auto Oh My Gusher at 52 days...She's grown to be the tallest girl in the greenhouse. So given the opportunity she will stretch to be about 1m60 if I must guess...so yeah...She's a big gurl 🍉
1687719350926 _small.jpg


All my ladies have, in one way or another, gone through some extended vegetative growth. Going from the 3.5L pots to the 7gallon fabric pots surely did something to the roots which made the plants wanna expand even more. We can safely say that plants grown in small containers will finish a lot sooner then plants grown in larger containers or even outside in the garden soil...
And so this lady is no exception.
1687719350922 _small.jpg


After 52 days we can say she's definitely in flower, but she's only at the start of her run. And therefor she'll be in the greenhouse a wee bit longer than I had expected... Not to worry, beside the leakage issue, my automated system runs perfectly. I've got another 15 + 2 solenoids on my workbench, so when they are build, I can automate 30 pots inside the greenhouse, which is more pots then I currently have. :thumbsup:
1687719350916 _small.jpg


So many budsites...and they're all filling in at a slow pace, like she knows she's on Bob's time :rofl::coffee2::haha:
All bright and fresh pistils and in their midst's the occasional bract which is almost exploding. In the old and moneyless days these bracts where a real welcomed gift from the ladies and you got to know them a little before the actual date...
1687719350912 _small.jpg


Right next to her, Auto SFV OG is running in first place of team Dutch Passion. She's very much cleared the 'Mid Flower' tag, but I would rather wait until this weekend before I call it for the whole team. The OMG above will probably not reach her midpoint by next weekend, but hey...it is what it is...:shrug:
1687719350908 _small.jpg


Inside that massive cola the calyx's are starting to expand like a mf'er...:shooty:
1687719350901 _small.jpg


The sweet smell this gurl emits is giving me goosebumps you guys :yay:
1687719350896 _small.jpg


Hey Antonio,

You guys did an amazing job transferring that frost from the SFV OG into your Auto version. :d5:
If she taste's as good as she looks!!??!! Hat's off my friend :toke:
1687719350891 _small.jpg


Yesterday was the hottest day, but luckily some things come to an end...Today was an amazing 10°C cooler outside, which shined through onto the plants... They're having some sort of holiday right now, coming from the desert like temperatures of the last couple of weeks...
This also means the pots weren't completely where I would like them to rewater and I don't want to mess things up. So I'm keeping my :goodluck: and hope I don't get a hard-attack when I return tomorrow.
1687719350887 _small.jpg


Even these lower budsites are frosting up nicely...I think this gurl will be a great candidate for making some bubblehash with...Either way, she has nice and white buds and these doe remind me of the Auto White Widow I've already grown a couple of times. So I'm really curious to find out how she tastes :smoker1:
1687719350882 _small.jpg


Lastly we have our leafy monster of a bush...
Yup, this Auto Mac #1 is one lady and one lady alone. Instead of growing into the air, this one is expanding from the bottom up...
Looking at her leaves, this lady shows a well fed plant, happy in the spot where she stands.
1687719350877 _small.jpg


This shows in the amount of budsites which are already starting to get golfball size.
1687719350872 _small.jpg


She is a leafy gurl and indoors I would have schwazzed the hell out of her, so much so that the neck hair on Antonio's back would stand up :drunks:
But inside the greenhouse I have ample space and more light then I could ever give them indoors. So, since leaves are the solar panels of our beloved plant, I'm going to let them be where they can do the most good...on the plant!!
1687719350867 _small.jpg


This will most likely give me plenty of work when harvest come, but then again...I'll have plenty of trim to pass through the bubblebags. :mrgreen:
1687719350861 _small.jpg



Yup, you've made it this far...I was in a writing mood, so unless you scrolled through, thank you for reading! Otherwise thank you for scrolling :jointman:



Regards,

Bob :toke:
 
Like @St. Tom says, very thorough post mate, nice read too, had to laugh a few times as well, good medicine for a Tuesday morning work day haha :crying:

And like you are experiencing now yourself mate... that Auto SFV OG is one of my favorites for good reasons :pighug:
Don't be afraid to give her a bit more time then you would normally do, those buds will keep on swelling... and she keeps on becoming heavier too, the frost/aroma/taste is the reason I like her so much. Just few weeks ago I managed to win another cup with her, my 34th and 16th time #1 :woohoo: : https://dutch-passion.com/en/blog/h...g-and-cbd-auto-blackberry-kush-crowned--n1150

The Auto OMG looking like a boss-lady, very big indeed... The Auto Mac getting quite frosty as well, keep it up mate, you are doing a fantastic job in the greenhouse!:clapper:
 
Thank you @St. Tom for the rep. Both our grows are doing A-ok. I wonder why??? :cheers:
I was also glad to see my ladies where doing superfine. Sticking my index finger into the soil it was still cold at the tip, so my decision not to water yesterday evening was a good one. Remember you guys...keep your soil happy and it will take care of your plants :thumbsup:
 
Day 55
Hey AFN Fam :bighug:

Today was a cloudy and partially rainy day. Which is perfect for me to work inside the greenhouse.
Because of the lesser weather we're having I've not been in the possibility to feed them some of the brewed tea.
The soil is ever still wet under those plates. :shrug:So, I've added another dose of Orgatrex to keep the bennies in the tea happy.

Someone else who's very happy is my Auto Mac #1...She looks awesome and even though some of the older leaves are starting to turn, I'm not worried at all. There is more then enough energy stored inside the plant to get her over the finish line :thumbsup:
1688046395613 _small.jpg


The calyx's are starting to swell up and the pistils...well those won't be long before they start to turn color...
1688046395609 _small.jpg


She is a leafy gurl and inside the tent I would definitely have defoliated her multiple times, but in the greenhouse a plant can't have to many leaves. The more leaves, the more energy a plant can consume and store for later use. 🍎
1688046395605 _small.jpg

Bottom side of the plant...Lovely frosty flowers :drool:
1688046395598 _small.jpg


Nice branch, no? :hump:
1688046395594 _small.jpg


Next up, we have our Auto SFV OG...This gurl's main cola is the fattest I've grown to date! Gonna try to take something as a comparison next time...
1688046395590 _small.jpg


All super nice frosty white buds....Lovely Indica lady!! ♥♥♥
1688046395586 _small.jpg


The main cola is truly something special...I needed to make a close-up for you guys...So frosty flowers on this lady...
1688046395578 _small.jpg


These two hang just below the main cola...:coffee2::haha:
1688046395582 _small.jpg


And last but not least, we have our Auto Oh My Gusher. This lady is still full on in flower...She looks unstoppable...
1688046395573 _small.jpg


All young fresh pistils...I have a feeling she will take quite a while to get over the finish line. At the very least another month...
1688046395568 _small.jpg

Which is just fine. The automated watering system will take over and keep everyone happy :thumbsup::coffee:
1688046395564 _small.jpg


Yup, I can see this branch grow completely closed with bud if this keeps going on like this 👌
And with this picture, we've come to an end with today's post. Hope you enjoyed it and like to hear back from you guys. Tips, comments...all is welcome :thumbsup:

Day 57 - Nighttime
Those bud sites are stacked so tight, that is going to be a heavy monster when it's done! Nice growing.
Thanks mate!! :d5:
Today's pictures where crap 📵 So I came back after dark and took these few...Still wanted to give an update for today :thanks:


The Auto Oh My Gusher, is really doing a come-back. She's starting to fill out nicely while still continuing to produce fresh pistils every day. This means the main cola will eventually start to look like a reversed baseball bat. Which is fine by me, if I may say so. :yay:
1688245214743 _small.jpg


I really need to put something besides her to put that main cola into perspective as this thing is just massive!! The plant is the smallest of the three, but she surely makes up for that in bud production!! She is leafy, but that's ok by me. More leaves, means more energy stored for the endgame!! And if that means I have to get my hands dirty a bit longer, then that'll just have to be done ✂️✂️
1688245214738 _small.jpg


And then we arrived at the last DP lady...My beloved Auto Mac #1. This lady is really looking the part. Nice and dark leaves...A bit of tipburn, but that's ok...It's Organic!! :weed::wiz: And stacking up them buds. She's slowing down in making pistils and the expansion of the calyx's has commenced. It's only going to get better from here my friends :coffee:
1688245214734 _small.jpg



I hope ya'll have a fine weekend or had one if you're reading it later on :pighug:

Bob :toke:
 
Day 59 - part one
Hey Growers :toke:


I've got an extra long pictorial update for you guys, but before we come to that a bit of talk...
Today I cleaned out the 50L barrel and refilled it with water. The contents of the barrel were used on the fruit tree's I have standing around. They always like my nutrient surplus'. :eyebrows:
Tomorrow I'll be starting a new PK Booster Compost tea, with added Bio PK 5-8 and Orgatrex to kickstart the bennies :thumbsup: So by Wednesday evening I'll have a nice nutrient top off to give my girls. They can use it as most of them still have loads of expanding to do.
Anyway, that was my little bit of rambling before I show you the good stuff :smokeit:
