I want to upgrade the quality of my reviews further, so i started a new more indepth template. Your might notice that i am a kind of a tough rater. 10/10 ratings rarely exist, as i feel there is almost always room for improvement. If I rate more than a few 10/10 ratings overall, you can expect this strain to be really topnotch. My ratings are based on a single plant, but will be updated to include updated reivew on multiple plants as grown. I am striving to make these medical based outdoor grow reports, to be the most indepth available. Some of my ratings from the medical side will often seem low. That is due to the severity of the 24/7 Chronic Pain and migrane headaches cause from an upper neck spinal chord injury. The best weed i have smoked so far only has a rating of 7/10.
This review is based on two plants. One of the 2 plant broke the grounds surface with a yellowed cotyledon and it slowed her growth alot for the first 14 days. I nicknamed her "Stunty" and planted her in a limited light location which only gets 7 hours of direct sun at best.
The second plant i put in the full sun garden where she gets full sun all day long, i nicknamed this plant maximus ultimus(for reasons explained in the pics of her)
SeedBank : Dutch Passion
Strain: Autoultimate
Did it autoflower?: Y/N Yes, both plants did around day 30.
Soil/hydro: Started in Promix HP
Transplant: One plant i used a regular transplant(stunty), and Maximus i used a new idea that worked incredible which i call "instatransplant" pots(pic below).
Main stalk height: Stunty 43", Maximus 41"
Nutes: Advance Nutrient Connosseur Bloom, AN Big Bud, AN Overdrive, AN Sensizym, AN Cal/mag Xtra, AN Nirvana, AN B-52, Foxfarm Cha-ching(maximus), AN Flawless Finish(maximus)
Light (kind and schedule): 24 hour under Galaxy Hydro and Maro 100X3w for 10 days, then under the sun during the day and under LED all night until day 26. Then planted in the ground on June the 1st. Increasing natural light regime to 16hours on June the 21st.
From seed to harvest date: 102days(stunty), 97 days (maximus)
Dry Yield: 123g Stunty, Maximus 245grams(tossed 2oz to mold)
RATE SCALE: 1-10 rating system with 1 being the worst, and 10 being the best.
Outdoor Grow report:
Mold Resistance 5/10 Hmm tough one...it was a humid midsummer throughout flower with an average of 70-75% humidity. By the end both plants were getting moldy, and i had to throw quite a bit away from both.
Insect Resistance 8/10 Had some minimal rainbow leaf hopper troubles on Stunty early on. Didnt matter as she outgrew and damage caused easily.
Bud to leaf ratio 7/10 Pretty good amount of bud to leaf absolutely!! Even stunty in limited light had a good amount of bud to leaf.
Bud Density 9/10 Maximus, rock hard buds.
7/10 Stunty, kind of loose but only 7 hours of sun!! In full sun she would be a 9 i bet easy.
Tolerance to Nutrients 8/10 - I accidently overfertilized with a strong dose, Maximus took it well, a bit of slouching, but not bad at all. A quick fluch and she bounced back very quickly.
Tolerance to Wind 29/10 This plant would still be standing through a hurricnado (combination of a hurricane + tornado)
Tolerance to Cold 8/10 We got a stretch of below 10 degrees celcius for 3 days with one day hitting close to 0. Minimal stress showing on the ultimates, and rapid bounce back.
Trichome Production 8/10 Stunty, quite intense production for the limited sun garden.
8/10 Maximus, again nice production
Ease of Training 7/10 Easy to train early on, but get it in early, and branches and main stalk become quite rigid once they thicken.
Scent Strength 8/10 Stunty, a very nice strong fruity smell..i'd say almst grapefruit citrus with a shot of pine...nice
7/10 Maximus...i screwed up here fellas, so the rating is low because of my drying place. It got really hot throughout the first few days of drying maximus and much of the smell was lost due to the "rapidodry".
General ease of growing 7/10 Lost points simply due to mold...other wise this would be an incredible 9/10 rating
Overall Recommendation as an outdoor plant 5/10 Humid(70%+) during flower period climate
10/10 Dry climate during flower period(40-60%rh)
Medical Effect Report:
Migrane Headaches 6/10 - This strain doesnt do much for the migranes(but very few strains do for my spinal chord induced migrane headaches), but also doesnt effect them in a negative way.
Muscle tension/spasms 8/10 -Both plants shut down muscle spasms in my back quite quickly and efficiently.
Severe Chronic Pain 6/10 - Hmm not a cure all strain for my severe chronic pain from a spinal chord injury. It does help though.
Anxiety/Depression 5/10 - At points i found the buzz of stunty to be somewhat racey. I dont have problems with it, but i could see it being a potential issue if really medicated in a public place.
High Effect 7/10 - A nice strong head and body stone. Certainly a hybrid buzz.
High Duration 9/10 Both stunty and maximus have a very long lasting buzz. With one good joint, i am ripped for 3 hours, and still feel the effects at 4.
Overall Medical Effect Rating 6.8/10
Final Thoughts - If you live in a humid place then keep looking. If you live in a dry environment and want heavy yields with quality smoke, grow a giant Ultimate!! Really this strain is aptly named...Ultimate!! If it wasnt for the mold factor this strain would be in my garden for a long time!! Even with the mold taken into account, i have to try one again next year!
