Dutch Auto is an awesome strain in every aspect, from the easiest of growing it till the final product, crossing through resistance, sanity, size and the easiness of trimming it. Those were all awesome and notable aspects of the strain. No hard prunes, no toppings nor cuts… the plant has reached 1.07 m tall, with a main cola larger than 35 cm, and a final 67 g production of an exquisite product, with one of those tastes that remain forever in your mind, and with which you will recognize her again, as happened in the past (1998) with the Skunk. The aroma and taste of the final product is very citric, you can easily recognize a strong taste to grapefruit, and in the case of the small plant, it leaves a residual taste to orange after exhaling it. About the smoke time the high is strong, felling creative and a bit hungry, i used to smoke it along day. Don't try to smoke it for sleep watching a Comedy show or you will no sleep at all chr(128514), at least until the TV show ends up.
----- GROWING IT -----
@Techniques, there were 2 plants:
A taller one that growed it’s own, she was 1.07 m tall, you can see in the videos how she looks like, itchr(715)s an Auto Beast.
A smaller one on where i applied 2 techniques, a double topping (Topping x3), and a bit defoliation as can be shown in the video, she ended up with 0.5 m tall, 4 main colas, and the most dense buds i had among my autos.
@Weight:
The weight dried was surprisingly equal in both plants, while the bigger plant ended up in 67 gr, the small one was 62 gr and with much more bud density and crystal concentration, anyway both plants were very dense and crystal poblated. On wet, the weights were 276 g vs 226 g the smaller, what is translated wet2dry in a 24,28% vs 27,43% for the smaller one FTW!.
That difference is very well appreciated in the density of the smaller plant buds, while both are very dense/compact/strong, the smaller plant buds are really MoonRocks.
@Trim:
Well well well, this part was awesome, very very very little amount of trim material, i finish the trimming of the bigger plant in about 6 min and 15 for the smaller what is real awesome in both cases, and the quality of the trims was incredible too, very good to ice wash it.
@ Final product:
The final product is almost equal in both plants, the smallest one acquired a stronger taste and concentration of crystals than the taller one, while both tastes are strong grapefruit, when you smoke buds from the small one is like real eating a grapefruit and it leaves a residual taste to orange some seconds after exhaling it, and when you touch or tear up any of both plants, the smell is also very strong to Grapefruit. My friends were shocked by the strong taste and smell to grapefruit it has, really.
