I actually wanted to start this diary much earlier, but just like with Apollo F1, I had some bad luck with germination, and the weather was extremely hot at the same time. RQS kindly sent me three new seeds, really appreciate it ๐
I have already grown Epsilon F1 a few times, and she has honestly become one of my favorite balcony genetics. What impressed me most was how uniform the plants were, how discreet they stayed in terms of smell, and how well they handled my outdoor conditions.
Since this run will probably finish quite late in the season, maybe around September, it will be interesting to see how she performs with changing weather and less predictable sunlight. I already know what she can do under better timing, so this late season run should be a nice comparison.
Epsilon F1 has a really nice blueberry profile, with a clean taste and a pleasant effect that makes her very easy to enjoy. For my balcony, she has been close to perfect so far.
I germinated the seed in moist paper towels. This method still works best for me and has given me the most consistent results so far. After two days, she was placed into a coco jiffy and then directly into her final pot.

The weather has been really beautiful, and this week felt very relaxed overall. Everything went smoothly, and there was not much to worry about.
She looks very healthy and strong right now. The conditions have been close to ideal, and she seems to be making the most of it.

Wow, she has grown beautifully and already has a really nice size. We are only in the second week, but she has developed so much already, which is honestly pretty impressive.
The conditions have continued to be very good, and for now it looks like they will stay that way. It may get a bit hot over the next few weeks, but so far she seems to be handling everything really well.
With my other plant, the training may not have worked out perfectly. Maybe it was just bad luck with the seed, it is hard to say. Because of that, I will not train this one in the same way. I will only rotate the pot so the shoots do not grow directly toward the back, and I will tie her upright to a stake so she does not lean too far forward.
She already had one neem oil treatment recently, and I will probably spray her again next week as a preventive measure.

Wow, she has grown even faster. In only three weeks, she reached 27 cm, which is honestly incredible. My previous plants were already not weak in terms of size or yield, but this one is growing at a pace I have never seen before in this setup.
So far, she has only received a little grow fertilizer and otherwise just pH-adjusted water. I will use neem oil again now, as I have not applied it for a while.
This run also shows nicely how unnecessary training can be in my balcony setup. If the plant is rotated correctly and guided straight upward along a bamboo stake, she naturally grows in a very suitable shape on her own. I am really curious to see if she will actually turn into a huge plant.

She has grown extremely well and is already looking very large for her age. Her development has been really impressive so far, and she still looks strong and healthy.
Next week, there will be a few rainy and cloudy days. I hope that after that, the weather will return to plenty of sunshine so she can keep pushing forward.

Next week looks quite rainy and cloudy, so I will place her in the sun whenever possible. Hopefully, the weather will improve again after that so she can keep making the most of this stage.
This plant has developed extremely well. She is already really large, has a beautiful structure, and is carrying a lot of flowers. Honestly, her progress is pretty amazing so far, and she looks seriously impressive for this stage.
