Hello Growmies! Surprise! Another diary!
If you have been following "An Epsilon Adventure" you will know I recently selected the best six of ten Epsilon F1 seedlings and removed the four weakest, leaving me with three coco & perlite filled 30l pots ready to go. They have even been being fertigated with Start and Roots!
So I have had some difficult decisions to make regarding what to put in those three pots.
The Options:
Top Tao
I recently got a lot of different Top Tao seeds from placing 5th in Diary of the Month and they are all regular which is absolutely awesome and contains a mix of autos and photos indoor/outdoor. I am really excited to experiment with those but I am going to have to be patient! It will likely be springtime for those seeds.
Purple OG Punch
With three seeds left from the 5 SSSC sent me, and with Purple OG Punch being my favourite weed now, I have been sorely tempted to grow all three! But I have already grown this and though I want more, I am looking to gain experience and learn about different strains and the way different genetics grow, etc. I started for the bud, but I'm staying for the knowledge.
Sweet Seeds
The guys at Sweet Seeds offered me the opportunity to grow some of their genetics and since I have enjoyed following some diaries with their beans I thought I'd give it a go. From their catalogue I picked three strains to try, and it just so happens that those three strains arrived not so long ago. Serendipitous? Well three pots and three Sweet Seeds strains, seems so!
The three strains are:
Sweet Zensation XL Auto (this diary)
Orange Apricot Glue XL Auto
Tropicanna Poison XL Auto
Check out the other two and please follow if you're into it!
Massive thanks to Sweet Seeds for sponsoring this grow!

Well it is the end of week one and this Sweet Zensation XL Auto is following the usual pattern of a slower growing indica-dominant autoflower. I am happy with this first week, I have seen better, I have seen worse. This girl cannot be compared to the F1 grow I'm also doing, but compared with previous autos (and her sisters) she is doing fine. That said, I am now expecting to see big things from this lady over the next seven days. See you tomorrow!

Photographed and decided on a name for this little lady. I shall call her Suzy!

Flushed through with 3l of fertigate. I want to get this Mg situation under control. Photographed immediately after watering.
Well it is the end of another week Suzy is up and running now and I think will have a great week three.
Week three is a big week for an auto-flower as it usually marks the start of pre-flowering.
Good luck to Suzy and to me! See you tomorrow for the start of week 3.
