Think Different - Dutch Passion...lookin good but...

Ohk so my baby's officially 33 days old today and she's lookin fantastic...but I'm wondering about adding some Organic Black Strap Molasses to my feedings...thoughts?

She's growing about 1-2 inches every day since her first flush on 1-18-14...thoughts? (before it was only about 1/2" a day)

This strain is def made for SCROG but I wanted to let her grow wild to see how she reacts to her environment...thoughts?

Thanks for your input!

Peace

You should be just fine using the blackstrap anytime now. So I say go for it, they look beautiful mate!

just about died here.

Think about that ....you flushed and she grew, so don't flush maybe feed and she won't grow...think hard .... Molasses, you won't be the last ....but keep thinking !

Day 33, its just now starting to grow. Just cut one down last month, was a monster. 280g dry had two colas that were 29g and 27g. TD are a kick ass auto, tho they can take 12-14 weeks to finish. You gave no info and asked about adding Molasses but how can anyone really give you an answer that's accurate? I would say no by the looks of your plants. They look good now Why do u think u need to add anything?

That's a bad ass pull...I'll post some stats on my grow and then you let me know what you think...

My Setup:

Housed in a Gorilla Grow tent - 2 x 2.5

Soaking up the goodness under a California LightWorks Solar Flare 200 Watt LED

Grounded in a 5 gal. Smart Pot

On an all organic diet provided by Fox Farm (ie. soil, nuts, etc.)

*alternate my feedings as followed: (after 1st flush feeding schedule)

-A. Cal/Mag/H2O

-B. Cal/Mag/H2O + Humic Acid + Big Bloom + Tiger Bloom (very little)

There you go...so how do you feel about adding some BSM to my nutrient mix?

33 days old as measured from when?

Those look like they are pushing 21 days of flowering to me.

Nice plant regardless. Love that rich green color.

Counting from official 1st day in the dirt...it's about 1/3 of the way done.

just started to flower on Jan-18-2014

I love DP TD they are truly fun to grow. I use mostly GH line. Grow in coco with 2 3x3 flood tables. I use 2g air pots (cloth) 4 TD per table with 1 600 HPS per table. Been avg around 1.2g a watt. I find TD dont like a lot of N but love cal and Mg. I see yours has a touch to much N by the waxy leaf tips and clawing of your Older fan leafs. Mostly towards the bottom, this could be also from lack of light penetration. My lower leafs do the same thing even with a HPS, thats when I cut back a bit on the micro (N).

I start feeding around day 14-18
For the first week I feed at 2ml micro 3ml bloom/gal
Tap water at 220ppm
GH Flora micro at 3ml/g
GH Flora bloom at 9ml/g
1g epson salt/gal ---for Mg
Feed this until week 8
Then I cut micro out (no N) for two weeks
Then 2 or 3 weeks flush

I bet that girl will fill that tent before it finished. As far as your nutes goes I wish I could be of more help but I dont use FF and never have grown in soil. I know the basics but hate to lead you wrong. So I just explained my grow exp with TD maybe you can use the info maybe not.

Thanks for the tip on the Cal & Mg and the warning on the N.

I'm really looking for tips from people who have grown TD before and what they've found out while growing theirs...there really should be a website where you can go and find out what you are possibly getting yourself into (in terms of nutrient schedules, what to use more/less of and when, etc.) when growing a certain strain...hmmmmm

Finishing up three right now, will be done within 2 weeks, LST'd in FFOF using the FF trio/blackstrap from the start under a 400hps with 350w of cfl supplemental lighting. I have ran quite a few the last few months, tried pushing the nutes a bit with these last 3 before and got some burn on one of them testing a feed of full strength (under the normal feeding guidelines) so i would recommend not going that hard, i wouldn't really go past 1/2 strength, making sure to use cal/mag starting in early flower.

Definitely true about the cal/mag, have consistently walked the line of def with them, occasionally on the extreme side.

I minimum 100g/plant in 5gal buckets with some light LST (they love it, do it early).

I would let them flower a bit longer than recommended as other people have said, they really fatten up later in flower. Size wise mine get as big as around 65cm with some pretty heavy LST.

Enjoy the smoke, great uplifting high, perfect morning/daytime/nighttime/sleepwalking smoke.

Hopefully that helps a bit, wish i could post some pics but i will certainly update with weights on these last 3 when i harvest in a couple weeks.

Really wanna see what you end up with...post some pics

Gonna post some new pics/update...got a couple questions...maybe you can help me out with 'em.

Hey stOnah! How old are your TD's now? Looking forward to seein a few recent pics

I ran 7 of these baby's a few month's ago, it's such a good plant! I pulled 16.5 oz off 7 plants and it's excellent smoke I can't say enough good things about it lol this was what I had about a week or 2 before harvest time....

Here you go beaves lOW...she has a slight deficiency I'm dealing with right now (you can see it up close in the last pic) but other than that she's a beauty!
These are just after her 2nd flush...day 61...about 29 more to go as of today.

So pretty... I can't WAIT!!! Into week 3 of my first autos. Not growing too much above, I'm hoping the roots ate just filling the 3G pots... I surely hope mine look like THIS! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice plant my friend! I may have missed it, but i did not see under what light you are growing it? Here's one of my TDs at day 61 from popping out of the ground! Grown with organic soil, giving it nothing but water and a few teaspoons of black strap molasses here and there! Hope you don't mind i posted it here, just for the sake of comparison and because they are almost of the same age! Looks like a pretty uniform strain to me!

Very nice stOnah! They look really food and better condition than mine at that stage, I had deficiencies in all 7 and was nearly all down to (N) il be keeping an eye in this thread really lookin forward to seein how they turn out in a couple of weeks, believe me the buds swell like fuck in the last couple weeks!
