WEEKLY UPDATES:
10/11- Week Eight! Here we go on our way to sticking a fork in this run!
Her fade is in full swing and she's putting out trichomes like crazy! Hopefully by the end of this week she'll be hanging after she spends a couple of nights in the dark.
I watered today using straight water that's ph'd to 6.5-6.7 @ 72℉. I gave her a 1g to keep her flush going and then turned her pot.
Trichome status: 70% milky / 30% clear
10/13- I watered today with 0.75g of straight water that was ph'd to 6.5-6.7 @ 72℉ and gave her pot a turn.
She's progressing in her fade and is still bulking up. Her trichomes aren't quite where I like them yet, so more than likely she'll be going in the dark by next weekend! She is one beautiful cultivar! 🤩💚
10/15- My routine of watering every other day continues. Yesterday I watered her with her usual 1.5g of straight de-chlorinated water that was ph'd to 6.5-6.7 @ 72℉ and gave her pot a turn. Today was just spent checking her over, turning her pot and doing a quick check of her trichomes which are close, but not quite ripe enough yet!
10/17- Wow!... Eight weeks of flower DONE! 😎👍
Now my sights are set on getting this girl finished up and on her way to 48 hours in the dark before she's hung to begin drying.
I went ahead and watered her with her usual 0.75g of straight de-chlorinated water that was ph'd to 6.7 @ 72℉ and checked her trichomes, which are looking just about right!
This journey is coming to a close in the next couple of weeks with her harvest, drying and trimming up. I so appreciate you following along with me , it's been a blast sharing with you all! 😎🙏
~Thanks so much for checking out my diary! This epic run is in the home stretch with harvest fast approaching...Stay lifted and be Blessed! 😎🙏~
This week promises to be exciting so don't forget to check in! Harvest time will be here before you know it and I'm getting stoked to see the results! 😎🙏💚
~Thanks for stopping in! This epic run is in the home stretch with harvest fast approaching...Stay lifted and be Blessed! 😎🙏~

😻 Week 8 is here friends!! We noticed some bleaching this week on a few of the higher tops and decided to move the MarsHydro again, from 18"to 20" this time..We underestimated how powerful this light actually is.. We no longer have access to a functioning PAR meter so we're relying exclusively on plant response, Google and some guess work to dial ...High light intensity definitely explains why we've been feeding these autos so much lol.. I'm glad we caught this when we did. We gave all plants another moderate feeding after moving the light (still waiting on a calmag re-up) , but I think they'll be just fine 😺👌.. we're hoping that 20" in flower might be the sweet spot..We truly have an autoflower curse, its real, anything that can go wrong typically does lol but it should be smooth sailing from here on out..thanks for reading if you made it this far and happy harvests everyone!

Week 4 of the flowering phase has arrived, and last week flew by 🌬️🌱. The ladies are thriving, and the buds are now clearly visible! ✨ The flowers are starting to turn darker, which is an exciting sign 🍒.
The first trichomes are already forming, hinting at a very potent strain 💎🔥. While the cherry aroma hasn’t come through yet, removing some leaves revealed an intense, waxy scent – very intriguing! 🌿👃
I’ll keep you updated with daily posts. Drop a like and stay tuned to see how the ladies develop 🌺📸. See you next week!
Woche 4 der Blütephase ist da, und die letzte Woche ist wirklich wie im Flug vergangen 🌬️🌱. Die Ladies haben sich prächtig entwickelt, und jetzt kann man die Buds schon richtig gut erkennen! ✨ Die Blüten beginnen langsam, sich dunkel zu verfärben – ein vielversprechendes Zeichen 🍒.
Auch die ersten Trichome sind schon sichtbar, was definitiv auf einen sehr potenten Strain hindeutet 💎🔥. Das Kirscharoma ist zwar noch nicht zu erkennen, aber beim Entfernen der Blätter wurde ein intensiver, wachsähnlicher Duft wahrgenommen – super spannend! 🌿👃
Ich halte euch weiterhin mit täglichen Updates auf dem Laufenden. Lasst ein Like da und bleibt dran, um zu sehen, wie sich die Mädels entwickeln 🌺📸. Bis nächste Woche!

She’s been in flush around 15 Days now, nothing super heavy. Lower leaves starting to fade slightly and she’s still fattening up. Will let her start to fade before I decide on doing anything at all. Her trichomes are mainly cloudy with an amber here and there.

The beginning of week 5! I think we are going into flower this week, signs are there.
7/22 (Day 35) - Started off week 5 with the most LST and Defoliation I have done and I was nervous. They needed it though, I was getting worried about mold and airflow through these bushy ladies, so I did my best and kinda followed my instinct. I did watch and read a ton of videos and articles and tried to put what I learned to use. I think these ladies are about to go into flower as well, started noticing the white pistols and where potential bud sites are going to be so I did my best to make those available to light and as even as possible. Will be letting them rest for a few days and reassess then. Everything continues to stay in check and the new dehumidifier worked awesome last night keeping the humidity in check.
7/23 (Day 36)- Didnt get any pictures this day. Pretty normal day, they drank 2 gallons and just continue to grow. I feel like they are just growing like crazy still and I think im starting to see them start stretching a bit more.
7/24 (Day 37)- Did the res change this morning, they are definitely starting to stretch and the bud sites seem to becoming more obvious. I went with more Veg neats after doing some reading, I may switch to bloom next week depending on how they are stretching. They fully recovered from the LST and defoliation two days ago. I decided to do a bit more today and focus on opening up light to sites that need them. Everything gets covered up so fast and I am having to defoliate a bit almost every other day it seems.
7/25 (Day 38)- Everytime I defoliate and do some LST they seem to bounce back so fast like next day. I did a bit more with the front left plant, she is lagging behind the others a bit, but that one has always seemed to be the runt. They are starting to form buds, especially back left plant which seems to have taken off a bit faster than the others. They are drinking almost 3 gallons a day! Everything continues to stay in check. I am debating if I should try scrogging or not, or just continue to LST and defoliate. Any input is welcome!
7/26 (Day 39) - Just kind of checked in on them and topped up the res today, Everything looks nice and healthy, all conditions are staying consistent and everyone is looking healthy.
7/27 (Day 40)- Did quite a bit of defoliation this morning. They needed it badly, a lot of the light was not getting through to under the canopy. Going to just keep an eye on them and see how they recover the next few days.
As always, tips and recommendations are always appreciated!

In week 8 iv come to the sad realization that nearly all of the plants are at different stages of development. Dispite all the seeds being germinated at the same time. So iv had to take them off the wilma systems and am feeding them manually and there all on different diets. Which is an absolute headache especially as there is 16 plants to tend too. I think iv bit off abit more than I can chew for my first grow I maybe should have started with a couple of plants. I think the large wilma setups are designed for clones really so you know they are all going to progress and eat the same amount at once. It's not for autos . There all looking healthy though:)

My final week is here. She’s fading out, id like to have seen her hold her colour a little longer although the leaves around the bud sites are still a nice green colour.
buds are tight and dense. More to follow as the week goes on.
Update….
I’m 7 days into drying, she’s starting to dry at the heads and gets more sticky the further down the branch. Next grow I’ll definitely lollipop to the top 2 nodes as I’ve found she’s a little “airy down below”. I’ll strip the branches in another 5-7 days.

Some great growth over the past few days, Jack is starting to stretch his legs for sure! To ensure there’s no issues with height, I decided to Top him, I’m not really going to apply any other methods of LST other than gentle defoliation and lead tucking.
Jack has been fed regularly BioBizz nutrients and some beneficial bacteria to support the mediums microbiology 🤓✌️👍
Let’s see what the next week holds for Jack, he’s under a 250watt dual spectrum HPS for the rest of his life now ☀️ 😎
See you all next week! ✌️👊

Another week of step increases. I changed out the led light for a MH on Tuesday 10/09. I set the MH light at 200 watts 10 inches away to start with. On Wednesday I watered the girls at 6pm until slight runoff.
On Thursday 10/11 I added a floor fan that oscillates to get air movement below the plants. I also increased the MH light to 300 watts and moved the light to 12 inches away from the plants. After the light increase I started to have a huge dip in humidity. I added water to the plant saucers in the tent to bring it up. Its getting better but still not where I want it. I will be monitoring this.
Saturday 10/13 I turned up the light to 400watts at 7 pm and increased the light distance to 15inches. Its keeping the temp right around 80f without having to increase fans or any other adjustments. I also did the hand test and it was hot but it was warm so I believe it is in the sweet spot.
I watered them again today until runoff. I can't believe the wingspan they already have. Looks like I'll be moving them to 5 gallons way sooner than I thought,

Day 69!😜😂… The lemon cherrys are without question in there final few days, some amazing colours and smells amongst this grow, the gorilla cookies, I’m not to sure if I’m honest, every single plant is different, in size, colour, bud growth, not quite sure why, but there coming along, one of them though as you see, it’s literally 5ft, purple stems and yellow leaves🤷🏻♂️ but with very weird healthy purple buds😅 The final stretch is amongst us, I’ll note next week the 🍋🍒🍪 being harvest, but I’ll update a few weeks after that with weights and reviews👊🏻

📅 D29 - 12/09
📜 Entering in the 4th week of vegetation, almost ready for preflowering. Today I made a big defolation and tied up the main branches with LST. Focus strongly on res as it has a strange behavior (EC falling and pH static). If tomorrow will be again like this, I will completely change the water and I will set a lower EC. T and H are now under control.
✍️ 1,3 EC
♒ 5,5 pH
🌊 9,5 L (added 1 L)
📏 9 cm
📅 D30 - 13/09
📜 Today I made a big defolation, cutting all the branches not interesting. Sadly I cut also one of main branch by mistake. Too bad, I'm very upset. Added 1,5 L of water with EC = 1,43 and pH = 5,8.
✍️ 1,29 EC
♒ 5,8 pH
🌊 10 L (added 1 L)
📏 9 cm
📅 D31 - 14/09
📜 I made some LST in order to cover the space of the broken stem and leave more space to the other branches. Today I not feed her, waiting for tomorrowv to add 1,5 L. Lucy is almost ready for SCROG. I think she will start soon, for sure this week. The res EC and pH seems stable now. T and H are under strict control.
✍️ 1,29 EC
♒ 5,8 pH
🌊 10 L (added 1 L)
📏 9 cm
📅 D32 - 15/09
📜 I start ScrOG training today. Tommorow I will change the res as I don't like how pH and EC are moving. pH tester is broken again, I purchase a professional one for a lot of money. I hope this will do his job for long time.
✍️ 1,2 EC
♒ 6 pH
🌊 8,5 L (added 1 L)
📏 11 cm
📅 D33 - 16/09
📜 Big News: Lucy starts preflowering. A little bit earlier than my tought but I think I can manage, as she looks great right now. I also changed the res, pushing the EC until 1,45 and turned on the flowering lights.The ScroG Net is working fine, I guess. Update: T is really too high (now near 36 °C) as I turn on the bloom lights. I'm trying to fix the problem in a creative way: I put some dry ice just in front of area injector and T lowered a little. H is in between 70% - 85%.
✍️ 1,4 EC
♒ 6 pH
🌊 10 L (new res)
📏 15 cm
📅 D34 - 17/09
📜 Lucy in ple flowering stage and the buds are starting grow very fast. The ScrOG net works good until now. I've some problem with the Temp, cause it's always around 35 °C that is too much.. I need to keep the H in between 75% - 85% to balance such high Temp but it's quite difficult. The reason of such high T is because I turned on the bloom lights. Also, today I had a strange beahavior of pH that is decreasing. Now I fix it on 5,5 but I've to be prepared to change res again. Made also some defolation.
✍️ 1 EC
♒ 5,6 pH
🌊 9 L
📏 15 cm
📅 D35 - 18/09
📜 Last day of fouth week and last of vegetation. Today pH gone again down 5,5. I added 1 L. of water with normal nuts, pH+ and also GHE Pro Bloom, raising both pH and EC. I will change the res on monday, as soon as I will have affordable measuring tools. SCroG seems working very well and Lucy looks healty.
✍️ 1 EC

DAY49
7 Weeks
Buds are hard. Smell is extreme.
Very limited amount of spidermites under some leaves. No reason to exterminate them, because next week I'll probably harvest the plants.
The smell of the Triple G is fanastic, Big separated buds. The Cookies Gelato are more sativa style of buds than I'm use of them. There leaves are turning purple.
The Liberty Haze has a lot of small leaves in the buds, and thet got amasing blinking white flowers. Probably this will be the plants I'll harvest the last, because they need some extra flowering time.
The Wedding Gelato is creamy, lots of trichomes and is fast flowering. But some flowers got budrot. I'ts hard to get the humidity low because of the rainy and misty autumn outside.

Hello and welcome to week 2 of veg phase for these five Epsilon F1 Hybrid ladies.
Last week is now complete with daily updates and media so please check it out.
For this week well frankly I am expecting massive growth. I have taken 3 fingered leaves from Normani today and five fingered from Ally.
It takes more time to photo and diarise but it is rewarding to look back on! See you tomorrow!
Day 9: Nothing to report. Sorry for lazy photos. Oh... I joined twitter @UnorthadoxDude
Day 10: Fertigated 5l. Loving Ally's party hands 👈👉
Day 11: Normani has overtaken Ally as the tallest and largest plant. Dinah has overtaken Lauren in a similar fashion. All girls kooking good except for some odd marks here and there (see video). Today after the photos and video and when she was back in the tent. I took about 4 or 5 leaves off each girl. You'll see tomorrow.
If you're here from Twitter, where I am also @UnorthadoxDude, please say hello in the comments! I've just joined and want to gauge if it is worth the time.
Day 13: Heights: Ally 23cm Normani 28cm Lauren 24cm Dinah 19cm Camila 17cm The girls have begun stretching it seems.
Day 14: Fertigated 5l and performed LST and defoliation. Normani height was 32cm.
End of week summary: Huge week of growth and these ladies are only just getting started. The pheno difference of Dinah is stark but super interesting.

Big big week. Site prep in woods 400 yards from home, middle of neighborhood urban GG.
Babies getting strong indoors as temps outside are cool at night on the 50’s but hot in the day, around 72 - 77, Some fun inside and outside.

starting to see some crowning. nice stretching going on. very happy with how it's all going (except for the wyze camera timelapse, which still stops working halfway through the week)
I do have some weird stuff going on with one plant, I'll post some pictures, if anyone has any advice. the only thing I can really find online that looks like this is tobacco mosaic disease, but I don't think it's that. maybe this one plant had a little extra stress or something. I have some of that mosaic looking pattern. it's showing up mostly on one plant, and like two leaves on one other plant. maybe calmag defiency? i guess it can kind of look like that, and my RO system was down for a week or two so I had to use tap water, and to keep EC consistent that meant less nutes for a week or two (that was taken up by the tap water EC of like 150).
anyway, super excited. wish i had more to do, but it's pretty much just riding it out at this point. was crazy busy with work this week, i wanted to have got in a good defoliation already but I will get to that this weekend. going to remove everything below a certain point, all the lower leaves and the lower nodes that aren't going to make it to the top. probably going to put a trellis net up as i don't think they are going to be able to support their own weight once they start to really stack. i may do one or two final foliar sprays, all organic stuff, but one last IPM and maybe one amino acid / coconut water / aloe / bloom boost after the defoliation, just to help them bounce back quickly as i'm going to be removing a lot of biomass. all that is organic and there are barely flowers on so i'm not worried about it.
getting such a strong lemon scent off these already, skunk is starting to come in. can't wait to get some real flowers on them and for the terps to develop.
i'm not going to judge yet, but i think if i was to run these again i wouldn't do quadline. quadline was super interesting to me when I first started growing, but after having a bunch of grows under my belt, really i think my preference is to mostly let them grow natural, maybe supercropping the main cola, but my favorite grows have been the ones i did the least amount of hard training on. not sure why i decided to quadline this run, but i'm happy with the even canopy so it's all good
