RQS Atlas F1 & Epsilon F1

ChronicNerve This grow I am using lights with more reds as I want these plants to grow as big and as uniform as as possible. I have not grown either of these strains before so I want to see how they grow naturally and only intervene when necessary. So far I have not touched them. I have also decided to go with 50% perlite this grow as I think my worm castings mix with plagron was too dense for the roots to grow down the bottom. So far so good, they have just started to stretch.

ChronicNerve Big stretch in 7 days, they are growing nice and uniformly so there has been no need to do anything other than water 3 times, the last with nematodes. I have been measuring the lux to ensure 40,000 starts at the canopy and have had to raise the light an inch or two every morning. Easy grow so far, very impressed.

ChronicNerve Both plants have just finished their final stretch. The Atlas has almost tripled in size over the last two weeks and now stands about 75 cm, while the Epsilon and its more dominant Indica rest at about 60 cm. The only thing I have had to do in five weeks is measure the lux amount to keep it at 40,000 at the top of the canopy by raising the lights, and I have watered both five times, with the last watering adding bloom and top max. I am very impressed with the node spacing and uniformity. Up to this point, these are the easiest plants I have ever grown, so I have already germinated another two Epsilons and am in the process of starting another Atlas F1, Gaia F1, and Apple Fritter. I estimate about 4-5 weeks flowering left for the Epsilon and 5-6 for the Atlas.

ChronicNerve A few changes this week: Co2 tank added providing 600-800ppm 18 hours a day ( first time I have ever supplemented Co2) 2 x HLG Quantum boards added to provide light coverage to bud sites Temps have ranged from 24-27 Celsius. 0.25 Litres per day for each plant Both the Epsilon and Atlas continue to impress, they are being pushed pretty hard now, with light intensity and bloom feed operating at optimum levels. I look forward to seeing their progress.
