Dutch Passion Zaaboot has a go at Trichomes & Cream alongside a Mimosa Punch

[Zaaboot]

Hey hey - how goes everyone?

The T&C is coming to her end, maybe another 10 days or so - she is an exceptional Trichome covering, really impressive, it is a shame allowed her to get drowned by her sister. The MImosa is filling out now, I have had to remove 10 or so branches to improve airflow, and to be fair you would never have guessed it had even been touched - she has so much 'plant'.

Heavy drinking going on, the last few days I have added 15litres to the res each morning - and the nutes are just bloom A&B - the PH keeps going down, a couple of mornings now it has been closer to 5 than 6, random for sure but I can't figure out why.

Hello all - as seen the T*C came down - now the MImosa has run of the tent only accompanied by a little Broomstick. She is enjoying having the air and extra light to herself and is still drinking away.
She smells gorgeous a nice tangy fruity number. her buds are pretty solid, even though she has foxtailed a fair bit, this said she is looking good and fattening up and as she has a couple of weeks left to run, she has time to fatten up nicely.

EC at 1.8, PH at 6, temps and Rh very stable.

Whichever way you look at her, she is mammoth!

Thats it for now - take care and cheers

Hello all - hope you are all keeping well and smoking up some of the finest

So, today is the last day for the Mimosa - she is a beast, I have cut half of her down so far and she is taking ip so much space already. Ultimately she was foxtailing like a trooper and once you pass the top two or three inches the buds are nicely formed and pretty chunky, then below that they are fluffy - so plenty of material for making hash - that will be every bud that does not look good enough to go in to grove bags when dried.

Anyway, not a lot to say other than as much as I tried she certainly beat me, a strong plant but needs some serious taming to keep her under control - if she had the whole tent to herself then things would have finished different, this sais I am very pleased with what she has done.

Am half way through now, once the plant is hanged, I need to remove the wilma from below, then I shall set the two inkirds to give 17c on the heat, and keep RH circa 55%. Bag drying certainly works, but this is my preferred method so going back to it - a nice slow 9-10 day dry.

I shall be back for the weigh in, although probably half will go in the freezer, I am sure the dry buds that will be used for flower smoking will yield well.

The smells coming through are pungent, very fruity, a touch of floral, with a hashy aftersmell that I like a lot.

Cheers for looking in

Hello All - just wanted to close this diary out.

As always I am very happy with the bud from another Dutch Passion grow, and once again thank you very much @Antonio_DutchPassion

I have had a smoke on the T&C and I must say the smells and flavours do not disappoint, the cream is the prominent smell from the bag and is also first to hit once you light up a doobie. The sweetness is followed by a hashy taste with a back drop of very sweet exotic fruit.
The high is pleasant, not overly strong but a very mellow creative up high which is very long lasting - overall very nice indeed.

Trichomes and Cream

Overall very easy to grow, I did nothing to her apart from top at the start and train early on then I left her alone until chop.


On to the Mimosa Punch - well what can I say, she beat the crap out of me, i tried to train her hard but once she got away, she really got away - but none of her craziness was in vein...as you saw I bagged 280+ g of dried trimmed buds in to a Groe bag and that was about half, the other half went in to the freezer after a very light trim. The Fresh frozen came in at about 1300g (in real life about 200/225g dry) and that went in to the washer for bubble hash.

I run a bag in the washer which is 220 micron, and it goes through another 220, before hitting the 120 which all goes to food, finally the collection bag is the 45 micron only. from the fresh frozen collecting only the 45micron it came to 32g of prime bubble hash.

All the hash has been put away for a few months, some of it was pressed others just left as patties - anyway, the one test jin I did have of some of the pressed black stuff was immense, I must say as a rather heavy smoker, this taught me a lesson on greed...it knocked me sideways, remember your first ever joint/ it was like that.

Back to the buds, as I let her go nuts she foxtailed a fair amount which is never the best thing, but oddly, the buds on her dried are absolutely solid and I suppose thats where the surprise came when It got weighed, as she did look airy but on the contrary.

The buds are all sealed away, and I have had two joints to test so far - the smell is the first noticeable thing, you get fresh sour fruits on the nose, graduating to a citrusy almost synthetic apple bouquet rounded out with a smoothness of a Fruit Lassi. Very complex with sour fruit being the at the front!

The high on the Mimosa is nice and strong, this said you can smoke her during the day I would suggest but go easy - uplifting with childish giggles is what it did for me - long lasting, the second joint put me back in my seat having a good read of a book.

So with that this diary now comes to a close - thank you all for your comments/joining in and for reading.

Take care all
