Dutch Passion Bob's Dutch Passion Grow - Auto Trichome & Cream and Auto Mimosa Punch on BioTabs

[Bob's Auto's]

Hey Friends

It's time again for another round of Dutch Passion's finest!!
First of all I wanted to thank @Antonio_DutchPassion for providing us with these fine genetics and AFN for providing us with the virtual space to share our endeavors ♥ ♥ ♥

Ok, on with the show.

I'm starting three seeds, but as usual I'm only keeping the best one.

I like the new tic tac style jars the seeds come in.

I was out of cotton pads, so I'm using tissues cut in half. These hold 4ml demineralized water and two drops H2O2 each...On top of that three seeds of each cultivar.

Next, a new layer of tissue (with the water and H2O2) and over that a piece of microwave foil. I have to be careful as the foil doesn't stick like normal foil does.

I'll be back in a couple of days when the seeds have germinated



Regards,

Bob

Hey Guys,

Two days on and I couldn't hold myself...I had to take a peek.
All the seeds had germinated and started to sprout a taproot. To plant I choose the following sprouts...

But first I added some Mycotrex to the soil.

Just a sprinkle for now...

Working it in the soil and then plant the sprouts.

Time to water the soil with Bactrex. Half a teaspoon into 500ml water.

Stir well...

Groupshot

I used a dripper to give each pouch 10ml of the liquid. Don't want to soak the soil and drown the sprouts...

And now we play the waiting game...Tomorrow I'll be putting these pouches into the tent, but for now they are staying in my study



Regards,

Bob

Ok guys, we have liftoff!!! Officially on Day 1 now

Turned the lights on at 25%, all the fans are still turned off and I closed all the intake flaps. This will make temperatures and humidity rise inside the tent.

I'm continuously monitoring these values via my Blynk app. If one goes out of a certain range I get a notification on my phone.

Regards,

Bob

And off we go Bob! (for real now)

Looking forward to seeing these girls become ladies!

Me too brother!! Gonna kick those anciens asses and have some fun while at it
This is the Auto Mimosa Puch. She had a bit of trouble opening up. So, I've put a small drop of water on those cotyledons.

Side shot...Gonna check back on her in a couple of hours.

Mmmmhmmmm...Auto Trichome & Cream. The name alone suggests some tasty end product here....

Not a Dutch Passion cultivar, but she's in the tent alongside the other girls...I'm not going to advertise the breeder as this is a DP grow 'n show thread, but I would like to tag @pop22

Also not a Dutch Passion cultivar, but rather the result of my pollen chucking. Crossed an Amnesia with an already made cross.
This one has many golden oldie genetics inside her. NL, Skunk & Kush to name a few and some newer cultivars like GG#4 & Wedding Cake were used in creating it's parents. Don't know if it's any good, but I liked the Amnesia XXL, which was used as a parent, very much!

As you can see she's almost emerged from the soil

Values inside the tent are perfect. And don't have to do much about that for the moment.
Lights still on at 25% 24/0 and no fans running.
The seedlings have water enough so didn't give them anything except for the drop I put on the Mimosa Punch's cotyledons

Regards,

Bob

All Autopots filled up with the complete Biotabs line, I think the babies cannot wait to put their feet into that!

I concur my friend. BioTabs is an amazing product. Can't say that enough!
Gave the pouches 400ml plain water. It's dechlorinated though, as the bottle is standing in a corner of the tent.

I lowered the light armature a bit. There's still enough room between the seedlings and the light though.

TS-1000 set at 25%...Nice!

Fans are still off...

And temperature & humidity are in spec...

And let's end this post with another time lapse. Enjoy...

Looks like I'm a tad late to the party but I'm definitely following along. Looking excellent so far as always @Bob's Auto's!

No problem brother. You made it, that's the important part
Just for you...Another time lapse

Hey friends

Went to the tent to take some pictures and feed the girls some Silicium Flash, but instead this is what I saw poking through the pouches...

Yup, the roottips tell me it's time to transplant these into their final pots...

So I got to work and gathered everything needed....The four pots filled with the prepared and activated soil...

...Some Mycotrex, a spoon and a cup...

Let's not forget our girls, ready to be transplanted.
Auto Trichome & Cream - Day 11

Auto Mimosa Punch - Day 11

Auto Do-Si-Dos - Day 11

Amnesia x Something-something - Day 11

I dug a hole, used my hand as this was wide enough for the pouch to fit inside...

...Sprinkled in some Mycotrex...

...And inserted the seedling, pouch and all...

The soil from the hole got dumped on top and spread out. Next I divided the 1L I mixed up with Silicium Flash between the pots. Making sure most of it got into the center, where it's needed the most. Then went and mixed up another liter of water with some Bactrex and divided that as well over the pots.

So all the pots got about half a liter of water with the necessary additions.
And then it was time for the BioTabs themselves

Two tabs per pot. One pressed about 5cm's / 2" deep and one double that. I also connected the DIY airdomes to my 100L/H pump.

And lastly, the values inside the tent...
Light = 25%
Extraction = Off
Monkeyfan = lowest setting
Temperature and humidity are still settling down after my visit. But I can see now, I'll have to turn on my extraction fan later on as +80% is to much of a good thing...

And here's a time lapse from yesterday until I transplanted the ladies today.

Hey Growmies

Another fine day today. Nothing much to tell you guys except for that the Trichome & Cream did something strange with it's next node...

Think it will be alright, but just in case...You saw it here first

The Mimosa Punch is doing it's thing

My Amnesia cross is looking alright and chugging along in the last wagon being the smallest of the four.

And another update for @pop22 from my Do-Si-Dos. She's doing alright brother

Group shot!!

I did turn on the extraction fan on ever so slightly. This in turn lowered the temperature, so I turned the lights from 25% to 50%. And this combination resulted in the values below. Temperature is ok, but humidity is to low, so I'm going to turn the light down from 50% to 40% on my next visit, which is later today.

And to wrap things up for todays post, here's another time lapse. Duration 39 hours, speed = 25fps.






Regards,

Bob

Hey friends,

Took a day off yesterday, did the upgrade tot Win11 on all but my production machine. Must say...Looks and feels nice. But that's not why you are here for

Let's begin with our Trichome & Cream. It seems she didn't develop the third fanleaf...

It looks damaged, so I'm going to take credit for that mistake.
Anyway, the next set of leaves is already there, so no harm done

The Mimosa Punch is looking really nice and she's causing me no trouble at all.
@Vapo, should I be topping just above the second node, remove the first node shoots and spread out those second node shoots? What would you suggest I do, because I would really like to do at least one grow Vapo style

Here's a better view from the side...

Next up...the Do-Si-Dos...Also no troublemaker in the tent...

And my own Amnesia cross. She's starting to take off!

I turned down the extraction fan a tad, slowing down the amount of humid air that gets removed.

Also turned down the light from 50 to this setting...

This resulted in below values for the tent. Not bad at all...

Anyway, here's what most of you were waiting for...The next time lapse. Duration about three days, speed = 25fps. Don't forget to look at the soil, it still kinda freaks me out a bit!






Regards,

Bob

Sorry dude ... But I just couldn't do it...
Auto Mimosa Punch - Day 19

These ladies are growing like cabbage and are looking super healthy...
Auto Mimosa Punch - Day 19

Even though the pots are heavy enough I still divided 1L water with a teaspoon of Bactrex added to it over the pots. The worms will create enough ventilation ways through the soil the coming hours and days
Auto Mimosa Punch - Day 19

We're at the fourth node now and I'm probably going to top at the fifth node, removing the shoots from the first and second node.
Auto Mimosa Punch - Day 19

Might even do nothing with this Trichome & Cream. She's staying nice and low to the ground with very small internodes.

Auto Trichome & Cream - Day 19

Looking lovely ain't she?
Auto Trichome & Cream - Day 19

Another one that's probably going to stay low to the ground...
Auto Do-Si-Dos - Day 19

Yippie, a seven finger leaf ♥ ♥ ♥
Auto Do-Si-Dos - Day 19

And my Amnesia cross is enjoying her stay.
Amnesia Something, something - Day 19

Just starting her third node though, but that's alright
Amnesia Something, something - Day 19

Can't complain about the values inside the tent as well. Didn't change anything since last adjustment, so...Let's ride this wave for what it's worth.

Regards,

Bob
