Hey AFN fam! I will be starting a fresh run with Dutch Passion’s Lemon Kix and I’m super excited to share the full setup, as well as documenting this grow much better than my first journal.
I am putting all of this information up now, although the grow will not start until I crop out my current Daiquiri Lime grow in around eight weeks. So feel free to drop in now, leave a comment, or turn the notifications on to keep up-to-date for when it really kicks off!
Genetics Spotlight​
Breeder/ company: Dutch Passion
Strain: LEMON KIX 
(Looking forward to those citrusy, sweet lemon head terps!)

• Veg A&B
• Bloom A&B

Hoping for a clean res and root zone, prolonged veg, and killer finishing quality & flavor.

Grow Tent & Environment
• Tent: Gorilla Grow 4x8 ![]()
• Airflow: 2x Vivosun 6" oscillating fans
• Climate Control: AeroLush C08 A/C (for tropical heat & humidity ![]()
• Dehumidifier + Humidifier ready to keep VPD in the sweet spot
I will use Vivosun monitors and probes to keep track of the temperature and humidity in the tent throughout the entire grow
Lighting Schedule = 24/7
• Veg: 200W Mahler Gates 12x16 LED (running ONLY white + blue diodes to stretch veg stage)![]()
• Flower: ROI-E680 4x4 LED for max power and coverage
- The goal will be - keep the DIL @ 20 for week one, 30 for week two, 40 for week three, and between 40 and 50 through the rest of veg and flower, adjusting light height and intensity as needed to fall within that range with the lights running 24 hours a day to avoid climate swings.
Hydro System
Homemade Recirculating Drip / DWC Hybrid setup using:
• Small aquarium pump
•(2) Growdan 6" GRO-BLOCK
• Amazon push-to-connect fittings & tubing
•plastic tote from the hardware store or Amazon
Simple, budget-friendly, and effective.
I will be running the pump for the irrigation and aeration 24/7 allowing for circulation continuously.
I’ll be updating with pics, progress, as well as any lessons learned along the way.
