Grow 5: A tulip by any other name...

... will not get you this high!

I'm excited to soon add Mokum's Tulip by Dutch Passion to the garden. It's a new (2019) strain with an enticing backstory. From the breeder's website:

Dutch Passion's Head of Genetics came across a very special pheno of Gelato on one of his travels. The plant had an amazing candy smell and some beautiful blue tones in the leaves. The sparkling buds were rock hard, the Head of Genetics was amazed by the rich taste which was exactly the same as the deliciously sweet and appealing aroma of the buds on the plant. He knew that this exceptional individual would be outstanding base material for another elite Dutch Passion cross.

This Gelato pheno arrived in “Mokum” (the old Hebrew/Yiddish word for Amsterdam) and was crossed with a vigorous Sherbet individual that also leans to the sweet side of the Cookie family.The Sherbet had a terpene-rich aroma, heavy yields and a particularly powerful effect.

Amsterdam became famous for tulips back in the day and the smell of this new creation reminded us of a very sweet smelling red tulip. The name “Mokum's Tulip” quickly came to mind.This XXL yielding strain is a must for your empty cookie jar.

My plan is to grow 4 of these alongside 4 gorilla zkittlez by Barney's Farm in an 8x4. They will start in coco under CMH light and will eventually transition to LED for flower.

Thought others may be interested to follow along given it's a new strain. Feel free to say hi and follow along

Supposed to be around 22% THC and "moderate" CBD whatever that means

Good enough to win 1st place in the Clouds in the City Cup 2019 and they say the leaves will be blue, purple and green. Should be a real treat to watch grow.

But maybe I'm just being an optimist 👍
 
Some folks say that all cannabis strains are basically the same; we certainly can see and smell differences, but it's true: differences in the high seem to depend more on my mood than the strain...

That being said, it's always great to find some really strong genetics!
 
alltatup I wouldn't have expected someone who is so passionate about growing would maintain the "all weed is the same" outlook. My limited exposure has lead me to believe that the strain as well as when it was harvested has a big impact on the experience.
 
I'm interested ocgreen . I've only growm a max of 4photos in a 4x4 5gal. fabric pots. What's your plan for soil and pot size? Or you doing soilless?
 
Hey SoOrbudgal I'm planning to go 70/30 coco/perilite mix in 5 gallon fabric pots.

In terms of number of plants, after some recent consideration, I think I'm just going to do the 4 Mokum's Tulip in the 8x4 and wait to grow the gorilla zkittlez.

Mokum's Tulip is supposed to get taller than anything I've grown in the past so I'm thinking LST will make 4 fill the 8x4. What do you think?
 
ocgreen Well of course there are factors that make a huge difference: I never said that all bud is the same no matter how you grow it; I said, some folks say... After all, THC is THC; however, the terpenes and other factors in the grow make huge differences.

My point is that the growers have to keep coming out with amazing new names for new strains to try to get folks to buy. That being said, I sometimes think it is a good idea to stick with the new genetics, cuz I sometimes wonder about the old genetics that have been bred for decades. Like I haven't had luck with Dutch Passion White Widow for 3 or 4 grows in a row, and the seeds weren't old. Not that I know jack shit about breeding.

Here's a topic that maybe makes my point clearer: https://forum.growweedeasy.com/foru...e-is-there-really-among-many-cannabis-strains
 
That's an interesting thread, alltatup. Thanks for sharing. I understand what you're saying; almost every strain I really enjoy comes from OG Kush.

Here's hoping these turn out to be more than clever marketing.
 
Sounds great. I was just reading about that strain on Alchamenys? Not sure of spelling, I read a lot:embarassed: but retain little:joy:. I'm also looking at the Barny's gorilla zkittlez for outdoor next season, never to early for me to look at next season. I believe you will do well with just the 4 much easier at least for me it is. I got 4 going into 8wks from sprout now in the tent. I've topped and LST spread and tied down now to my liking. Think your going to have fun and your plan sounds great.

I think it was oldjarhead100 who mentioned that zkittlez is better suited to indoors but i might he getting that wrong. I should grow and harvest by spring so I can let you know my experience
 
ocgreen I'm all for the new genetics with higher THC content!!!!! I recently bought a new strain from Humboldt, Dr. Greenthumb's Em-Dog, because they said 27% THC. So I try the new ones, too. I just don't get all dazzled by the extreme graphics, trumpets and fanfare they make on Seedsman to advertise their new strains.
 
Looking forward to seeing that Em-Dawg grow journal when it comes time for you to plunk those seeds, @alltatup.

As for my beautiful tulips, they went from the shot glass to the rapid rooters under CMH a few minutes ago. I'm excited!

Lowered light from 28" to 24" based on what I'm diagnosing as a leggy seedling. Anyone else agree or otherwise know why one is looking so weird and twisted?

There is passive cool air intake and a 4" exhaust fan but nothing blowing so bad it would cause that.

Thinking I will transfer that one to a solo cup with mild nute coco when I get time later.
 
I'm not sure why ocgreen. I start mine under T5 or 54watt cfl depends on how many i'm starting. But I have them 2-3" from light. Maybe squeeze that cube together tighten soil around it more??
 
Thanks SoOrbudgal I went back and forth about whether to use my tried and true CMH or my new seedling light:

DuroLux DL822S T5 2Ft 2 Fluorescent Lamps Grow Lighting System with 5000 Lumens and 6500K Full Spectrum and Super Low Profile 3.5" Wide Reflector

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01L6EZUBM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_H2cXDbY8F1178

I chose the CMH because I was scared of messing something up with a new light. And here I am messing things up with the CMH 😅

Do you think this T5 light would be ok for seedlings in the future?
