Hello growmies! Welcome to week two of An Epsilon Adventure! These six ladies were each planted into their final 30l pots, fertigated for the first time, and put under the light one week ago today. The nutrient schedule from Shogun for seedlings has Start & Katana Roots for the first two weeks. You can see the results of the first week yourself, by the end of this week I am expecting these plants to have tripled in size and growth. Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow. Daily Updates: ### Week 2 Day 1 02:00 02/7 4m/l Start + 5ml/l Katana Roots - fertigated ~1.1l each ### Week 2 Day 1 21:00 02/7 Photographed. ### Week 2 Day 4 11:00 5/7 Photographed. Noted magnesium deficiency on most plants. I have been sticking with the nutrient schedule but I am going to have to diverge from that now because these plants clearly need calmag immediately so from the lights on feed today I will be switching to week 3 on the nutrient schedule including adding calmag. ### Week 2 Day 4 18:00 5/7 2m/l Start + 2.5ml/l Katana Roots & Zenzym + 1.5ml/l Coco A & Coco B + 1ml/l Zilicon & CalMag - fertigated ~2l each + Geisha Foliar Sprayed ### Week 2 Day 5 15:00 6/7 photographed. ### Week 2 Day 5 17:30 6/7 2.5ml/l Katana Roots & Zenzym + 1.5ml/l Coco A & Coco B + 1ml/l Zilicon & CalMag - fertigated ~1.8l each Seeing moderate Mg def now it has come on fast. Tempted to add more CalMah but first CalMag fertigation was yesterday... they respond fast in coco, but not THAT fast... and the new growth is looking good. Anyway fertigated again today and will again tomorrow because they have really put on some growth today they are going to need it. ### Week 2 Day 6 13:00 7/7 photographed. Noted that the magnesium deficiency has advanced quickly, and there are also signs of calcium deficiency. As well as adding 1ml/l of SHOGUN CalMag, I have also started dropping the PH a little as I suspect it may be a tad too high for coco cannabis. See you tomorrow! ### Week 2 Day 7 16:00 8/7 photographed. Well here we are at the end of week 2, these girls have been on "full" nutrients for two feeds now and I am happy to report that the new growth is the right colour. They have also not bothered to slow down at all in their growth, they've simply repurposed more and more nutrients from older leaves to allow further growth. I hope that now the balance shifts and they have what they need to maintain and grow. The next seven days will tell. By the end of next week I should expect these girls to be a vibrant green colour. 🙏 The tallest girl is 20cm. The shortest girl is 13cm. All plants around around node 5-6 at the moment. Thanks for reading growmies! 👊 ========== Tent: 120cm x 120cm x 180cm Light: 600w HID Elite Dual Spectrum HPS + Angel Wing Reflector Air: 5" duct fan system with carbon filter ~300 m3/hour + RAM 9" floor fan + 4" intake fan Pots: Air Pruner Fabric Pots 30l - UGro XL Coco + horticultural grade perlite (~20%) Seeds supplied by Royal Queen Seeds https://www.royalqueenseeds.com Nutrients supplied by Shogun Fertilisers https://www.shogunfertilisers.com/en ==========

Geez, what have shogun been putting in your bottles?! They've stretched so much 😮 Hope the buds fill out 😎 they look frosty already!
UnorthadoxDude
UnorthadoxDude
@NeoCat, regarding the buds filling out! Me too!!! They did last time and how! They are probably the most dense auto-flowering buds I have grown yet, so I am expecting big things here!
UnorthadoxDude
UnorthadoxDude
@NeoCat, 😆 all of the plants further into flower have darker leaves. I think I need to back off with the nutes now. Actually I think they nees a flush.

@UnorthadoxDude, "colas" es una forma coloquial de decir en español "grandes cogollos" Yo escribo en español, y a veces el traductor de Growdiaries hace cosas raras 🤣

Looking very frosty, amazing flowers my friend! 👏 It looks like you are getting close, when are you planning on the harvest?
UnorthadoxDude
UnorthadoxDude
@MedicineMaker, I will, I think plant 2 is coming down this weekend. I haven't checked trichs for a couple of days, but the smell has changed so I am expecting progress.
MedicineMaker
MedicineMaker
@UnorthadoxDude, Sounding really promising, I'm excited for you! Glad to hear you have the temps and humidity under control. I had about the same as you on my last grow towards the end, I'm being patient and waiting 4 weeks of cure before I test. Best of luck and keep me updated! 👊
UnorthadoxDude
UnorthadoxDude
@MedicineMaker, the fade started on what's left of plant 2 a couple of days ago. I am checking trichomes daily with the loupe, but as yet 0% amber. Almost entirely milky/cloudy at the mo. The remaining buds are starting to look really good, but still bulking. I have given up on stealth and am basically running it with the tent door always open and fans blowing in. I leave the dehumidifer on 24/7 and in the tent (closed door when lights out). 18/6 they are on now. Average RH right now is about 45. Temp 28c If I forget to open the tent and blow air in, well the temps hit 35c+. All Epsilon plants are now getting the "flush" product Dragon Force.

Hi, thanks for the kind comments you left a while ago on my Epsilon grow. It looks like there's definitely something in the genetics which makes them stretch under certain circumstances, fertigation maybe? My Epsilon looked very like your plant 3, it's a pity she had to be cut down due to the bud rot. The only thing I would change about my Epsilon grow would have been to not start flushing so soon and to have allowed another couple of weeks at least before cutting. With the curing now done, the smoke is smooth and tasty however not as strong as I would have liked.
Jungian79

@UnorthadoxDude, I agree, leave them another couple of weeks and reassess then. Others have mentioned that the high is more cerebral than body which I found too. Can't comment on how much CBN they can produce the longer they mature but I'd be very interested to hear how it goes for you after harvest.
UnorthadoxDude
UnorthadoxDude
@Jungian79, Hey growmie! Thanks for stopping by, yeah your 95cm plant is the one I referenced in an earlier week. I think I have grown the largest so far in these girls! I am going to leave them as long as I dare. I cut the first grow at day 60, these I am thinking 10-20 more days for the most mature, longer for the others. What do you think? I have heard that if left to get plenty of amber this strain can have body effects, so let us find out! Hopefully I will not be forced to cut anymore early.

Ça à l'air très bien tout ça, cette variété s étire beaucoup. 👍☮️
UnorthadoxDude
UnorthadoxDude
@Dolfom, It is not supposed to! It is a 50-70cm strain... all the other grows I have seen, including my previous grow the plants stayed under 1m. As far as I am aware, and as far as RQS are aware, these are now all the largest Epsilon F1 plants grown so far. You can only expect such crazy growth with hydro and synthetic nutrition. In soil these plants will not grow so big, or even in organic coco grow. I am only using 600w HPS. I shudder to think what these plants might do with this nutrition, in even larger pots, with a modern LED growlight.

Una cosecha espectacular a pesar del budrot!

@nonick123, fingers crossed! The plant 2 main cola I managed to save all but 2 buds. Was approximately 20g bone dry (warm air dried).

Quel dommage pour ta plante, mais les autres sont bien là et sacrément givrées. Bravo l'ami 👏👏☮️
UnorthadoxDude
UnorthadoxDude
@Dolfom, yes! If it was to be any plant I am glad it was the smallest. I am now keeping a very very close eye on the inside of the bigger colas as these plants are developing. I have taken steps to increase airflow and reduce humidity.

Sorry to hear about your budrot 😭 it's horrible but hopefully you salvaged enough. Good luck with the hard deadline too, must be stressful. The buds are looking insane! So sparkly 😋 My girls are dry, halfway through trimming. Hopefully give a weight this week 😎

Very nice updates this week! 👍 This growth is beyond my expertise in how to handle them, the only thing about not feeding them is they might start showing signs of deficiencies. They are hungry 😀 Maybe just start bending the branches horizontally if there are not too stiff.

@UnorthadoxDude, I figured it wasn't, just having fun. I would love to have a dedicated grow room.

@UnorthadoxDude, Get rid of the tent all together and hang your light from the ceiling, only if that was possible.😀
