Dutch Passion Bob takes Dutch Passion on a BioTabs tour inside the Greenhouse - Growing Auto Test PA, Auto Skywalker Haze & Auto White Widow

[Bob's Auto's]

I've been considering switching over to something like biotabs to make my life a bit easier. Subbed and following this one closely

Thanks brother. Happy that you're joining this grow
Today was three days since I put the seeds between the cotton pads...And the results aren't that bad
White Widow 1/1, Skywalker Haze 3/3 (left hatched, but the tail didn't go further), Auto Test PA 2/3.

After I filled the pouches with a mixture of Lightmix, one tablespoon of Startrex and on teaspoon of SiliciumFlash I made a hole and dusted it with some Mycotrex.

Then gave each pouch a shotglas of Bactrex I mixed up and consists of 1L water + 1gr Bactrex.

Then the tags got made and the sprouts got sown. The remainder of the Bactrex liquid I poured in the tray so I could be soaked up inside the soil.

Regards,

Bob

Hey growers

Yesterday was a freakin' hot day! So I opened up the windows and connected the misting system to the fossette. This provided the plants with the necessary cooling down, but this also raised humidity to 100% But it was necessary. When I entered the greenhouse to check the digital meter it had failed. So I checked the thermometer that's hanging by the door and it was 58°C / 136°F inside!! After about ten minutes of activating the misting system temperatures dropped to 45°C / 113°F and still going down...But I couldn't hold on any longer. Even with the misting system it was annoyingly hot in there!!!

Later that day when the sun was going under I took the time to top every plant at the forth or fifth node and removing the lower node(s), but not their leaves.
Today is a better day. This morning it was cloudy and it had rained so humidity was good. And now the sun is emerging, energizing the concrete slab inside the greenhouse. So I'm happy with everything...

Has anyone got an idea what the discoloration on the leaves of my White Widow is? And should I be worried?
I'm gonna tag some people, (Antonio_DutchPassion, Vapo, St. Tom, Mañ'O'Green) but everyone else who can chime in is very welcome.

Colours looking good man!

Keep it up and take care bro

Oh yeah!! These are some serious genetics brother. I'm so curious about the flavor of the Auto Test PA. I hope it's not to kushie if you know what I mean
Yesterday I gave the bigger ladies, which were showing deficiencies, a mix made up of 12L water, 75gr Silicium Flash, 12gr Bactrex and 25ml Orgatrex.

Best to use tap water which has been standing for 24h so there's no chlorine in it. Then dump in the dry ingredients...

Next measure 25ml Orgatrex. Let the mix settle for about ten minutes...and wisk around just before pouring it on the soil. Each plant got approx. 3.5L / 0.92gal.

I actually measured a bit more then 25ml as the Orgatrex is very viscous and sticks to the bottle.

And this is how the plants are looking today...The fast acting nutrients in the Silicium Flash are sure doing their job and the White Widow is perking up in color...

Hey Friends

As yesterday was a cloudy and rainy day the plants got a breather from the hot weather. Glad to say I treated the plants with some Boom Boom Spray and RotBlock as prevention to mold.
Auto White Widow - day 58

The buds on this White Widow look delish and I know what lies in my cards, because it isn't the first time I've grown her...
Auto White Widow - day 58

Already frosty buds..
Auto White Widow - day 58

Six of these cola's await me. 76 days the last time, but this was inside a temperature and humidity controlled Mars Hydro tent. Now she's inside the greenhouse enjoying daylight, so I imagine she'll go 86 days, maybe even 90... We'll see

This Purple Afghan is bulking up nicely.
Auto Test PA - day 58

Such pretty flowers...
Auto Test PA - day 58

Let's see if we can squish some purple rosin out of these

Auto Test PA - day 58

Such a beautiful plant...A shame she's foxtailing because that's gonna give me plenty of work to clean them leaves from in between the flowers...
Auto Skywalker Haze - day 58

Oh well, at least they are plentiful

And already covered in sticky trichomes

Hey growers

I got my hands sticky again today as I harvested the Auto Test PA cultivar from Dutch Passion. She was a breeze to grow, but then this entire grow has been awesome thanks to the BioTabs nutrients line. Last week I smoked a piece that 'fell off' while handling her and I must say this is a heavy smoke. I didn't taste to much kushy flavor, but we'll see how everything turns out after curing. But before that, I'm hanging her to dry upside down. Just removed the fan leaves and any large and crispy leaves. Carefully holding the buds while pulling the leaf in the other direction works best

Bob

Hey Friends

Lady luck wasn't smiling today when I walked in the greenhouse...Started to remove all the crappy leaves from the Skywalker Haze when I saw little specks flying/jumping away from her. When I turned her around I saw this...
Auto Skywalker Haze - day 82

So I removed the infected branch outside which got taken care of by the chickens...And decided to harvest the remainder of this lady...
Auto Skywalker Haze - day 82

Next to her stood the White Widow which already was being attacked by flying aphids...So deciding based upon the next pictures and the fact that she was already knocking me out a couple of weeks ago, I also cut her down and hung her to dry...
Auto White Widow - day 82

As you can see, plenty of ambers on her...
Auto White Widow - day 82

...Here as well...
Auto White Widow - day 82

...So this is as good a time as any...
Auto White Widow - day 82

Even though I don't like to be forced to do this and had rather decided based on trichomes alone

Before I end this post, I would like to forward you guys to the SSSC thread as I also had to harvest my...

Hey friends

I've been busy trimming the three ladies I hung to dry. I started at 23:00h yesterday and it's now 04:24 (when starting writing)...Wanted to get to bed, but it's to late now...feel I could better push on through and make breakfast for the family in a couple of hours. And what better to do then post an update while we wait.

Let's begin with my favorite...Auto White Widow.
She took me about two hours to get her trimmed to perfection...This picture was during a well deserved dab break...

I'm more then happy with this haul...

Perfect sized buds overflowing with trichomes...

One of the top cola's

Smaller sized buds.

The smell emitting from this plate is amazing!!!

Now it's time to put everything into a jar or two...Which eventually became two jars...

Ok, one more...

By now my hands were very sticky and taking pictures was a drag so...yeah...
I trimmed the Bruce Lemon Diesel next, but since this goes into the SSSC thread I'll continue with the Auto Skywalker Haze.
When I finally got to this lady my hands and back were hurting like hell, but I had to push on through. Doing this during the night minimizes exposure to family and surrounding neighbors as this shizzle is smelling throughout the whole house, even with all the windows open, lol Hope my wife's reaction will be mild in the morning.
But the weed...As you can see this is more twigs then actual bud. More like a bunch of calyx's on a stick...82gr worth of calyx's on sticks though.

And here as well, everything is coated in a nice layer of trichomes.

I did my best to remove all the non essentials, but feel I still could have done a better job.

I didn't put these into a glass jar to cure, but rather put the bounty into a double bagged plastic bag as displayed below. I don't know yet what I'm gonna do with this yet, but it will be pressing or washing...I'll try her out in a couple of days and then put the bag into the freezer.

This is what I'm left with what wasn't usable. All twigs, dried up fanleaves and the remainder of the Watermelon Skittles which I didn't like and since I grow for myself only, I'm going to dispose of it by fire when it's safe to do so...

I'm left with this nice collection of bud which consists of:

• 1 jar Strawberry Cheesecake
• 3 jars Bruce Lemon Diesel
• 1 jar Moby Dick
• 2 jars White Widow
• 1 bag Skywalker Haze
• 1 bag Auto test PA

Please join me in a moment in my SSSC thread for the unveiling of Bruce's weight, which I can already say is substantial!!


Regards,

Bob
