I have been growing and enjoying cannabis for a long time, I have grown many strains and always like to try something new each grow. It is rare for me to grow a strain more than once. But some strains, are just too good to not have, Auto Colorado Cookies from Dutch Passion is one of those. By MACKY - Percygrowroom.com

So easy to grow, and an incredible, tasty end product, Auto Colorado Cookies isn’t just one of my favourite strains from Dutch Passion, but it is one of my favourite strains of cannabis ever. Auto Colorado Cookies, is a Indica Dominant hybrid, that is crossed from Girl Scout Cookies, and Auto Blueberry, if you have tried any of those 2 strains, then just by reading that you should be onto Dutch Passions website ordering some. This strain really is a pleasure to grow, and can be harvested just 11 weeks after germination. If you’re looking for some new autos to grow, then give Autos Colorado Cookies a try

AUTO COLORADO COOKIES GROW GUIDE

Germination

Auto Colorado Cookies are always quick to germinate. I soak the seeds for just a few hours in water, and then plant them straight into my medium (Coco). Within 2-3 days, a shoot would already have surfaced. They are then kept under 50w t5 for a few days maybe a week until the true leaves first grow, and the small plants can handle more light. Some Auto growers will plant the seeds in the final pot, and do not transplant, feeling that doing so will increase their final yield. In my opinion, this is a myth, and I have tested it. I start ACC off in a small pot, no bigger than 0.5L in volume. Once the roots are big enough, I will then transplant them into their final pot. It is up to you, but there is no harm in transplanting once, as long as you do it properly, and keep the stress to a minimum.

Vegetation

at first above ground, but plenty of root will grow under the surface. After about 3 weeks, the plants will start to really fill out with growth, and the more light you can give them from this point, the better. They should be under at least 100w of light per plant during vegetation. The ACC doesn’t like a lot of food. You can easily push it too far. Monitor the plant for what they want to eat, and raise the amount you feed it as the plant grows. Always keep the food low unless the plant looks hungry. After 4-5 weeks, you will see flowers begin to form. This is when the flowering stage has begun. potassium and phosphorus. Too much nitrogen during the flowering will cause the buds to be airy (less dense). With the right feed, you will have big dense buds from Auto Colorado Cookies. Reducing the nitrogen early in flower will help give you those dense oily nugs. For me, I grow autos under an 18/6 light cycle for their whole lives. But there is no reason why you can’t grow ACC under 24 hours of light. The buds grow big and fast, and is one of the few strains where you notice the plant packing on weight day by day. After 6-7 weeks, you will see that the trichomes are milky, the pistils are turning

brown, and the plant is ready for harvest. There is a fresh fruity sweet pungent smell to the buds. My personal preference for this strain is to let it go a little longer. Under the advice of Dutch Passion, I let one of my Auto Colorado Cookies go for a full 100 days as a test, and the smoke was incredible. I would recommend you trying the same thing. But It is still quality with 11-12 weeks. The harvesting point is up to you, but make sure your trichomes are at least 90% milky before harvesting to get the best results, and to have the buds express the right characteristics of the Auto Colorado Cookie high.

Harvesting

When you are happy the plant is ripe and ready for the chop, all you have to do is

harvest. This strain will grow long dense colas, so it is easy to remove a whole branch from the plant and hang it. With the correct training and topping early on in the grow, you will have a number of branches, with huge dense colas. Just

Flowering

When flowers begin to form, you should change the feed to a “bloom” or “flowering” feed. You should reduce the amount of nitrogen that is being given to the plant, and increase the amount of
