Second Grow - Dutch Passion and Freebies

The buds were a mix of green and purple at time of harvesting. The largest flowers were a little smaller than tennis balls pre-drying and smelled more sweet and lemony with only a hint of skunk. The first plant dried for a total of 9 days before trimming and jarring. The lower buds were somewhat airy, but more dense than the other autoflowers I've grown in the past. Despite the slight airiness, the buds were packed with trichromes. The second Lemon Kix harvested was a larger plant that took a week and a half longer to finish. This plant had longer branches with more numerous, but slightly smaller flowers that were in general more dense than the shorter previously-harvested Lemon Kix plant. Once in jars both plants smell very similar - very lemony and sweet with a hint of skunk undertone. This is definitely a daytime smoke. After a week of curing, the buds still smell sweet and lemony with a background note of skunk. This definitely feels like the most potent strain I've grown in my limited time as a grower. The effects are immediate, relaxing but also uplifting, and quite long lasting. Taste is sweet and not harsh at all. For me, it's a very pleasant feeling that I would highly recommend. For being a new grower, trying to learn and improve, I am over the moon with having grown a pound of weed from four autos indoors. I don’t know which part of this grow helped the most or if everything just clicked and worked well together. This is my first time growing anything using only dry amendments and I’m not sure I’ll ever use anything else. Follow the directions on the Gaia Green package, make sure your plant is ready for feeding, mix it in, and let the plant do the rest - how easy. Dutch Passion did not disappoint with the quality. Auto Lemon Kix is definitely a great strain that I can’t recommend highly enough. I’m looking forward to a spring/summer grow outdoors with photoperiod seeds and a bit more knowledge and experience.
