I determined they were strong enough for the RDWC system. I have no airflow control over the stones at the moment so it's 26 Liters/min via two 8" stones. A 1.2 ratio. Water circulation flow is 380 Gal/hr. Or 15 swaps. Pushing a nute level of 620PPM (@700) In a week or so, I'll pop on the C02 @ 1000PPM+

Just trimmed up the girls one last time before the flip, took about twelve clones off of them all in total because I need to select a blueberry x zamal mom from them. really hoping they stretch quickly in the first couple weeks to give me some extra room to work with in the canopy.

Remember, when I said I was having a little fun, I was not kidding don’t do you see that nice looking Pringles can it took a lot of work, but I’m not gonna leave her in there with her entire life. She’s most likely going to get transplanted when it’s time to put her to flower other than that you see the others. They look good as well. Even the one my friend gave me I brought it back to life and man I thought I was doing something wrong because she has a major purple stem and her genetics I guess.

Hello growmies! Welcome to week five of An Epsilon Adventure! Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow! The girls are all at different early flowering stages, but they are only days apart from each other. I have a bit of a quandary now though, as I am no longer following the nutrient schedule as these plants are too fast for it. So I am unsure whether to start PK warrior or not yet. I have also realised I have probably underfed them in the last week or so, which to be honest isn't a big deal for me right now as they are already waaaaaaaaaaay bigger than expected. Let's talk about that a moment. This strain has an average height of 50-70cm. I wonder if those numbers were for soil grows? It seems for coco you will get even bigger plants. Case in point these six girls measured at 3pm 24/7 day 30 as follows: Plant 1: 111cm Plant 2: 99cm Plant 3: 90cm Plant 4: 89cm Plant 5: 85cm Plant 6: 84cm Plant 3 appears to have stopped stretching and is the most advanced into flower. Plant 4 is right behind it and has slowed down but not yet stopped stretching. Plant 2 is next in terms of flowering development her stretch is slowing. Plant 5 is still stretching rapidly and is coming to the end of preflower. No concern really at 85cm she has some room yet. Plant 6 is still stretching rapidly and is still in preflower. Slightly concerned despite her 84cm stature as she has been the most beefy looking plant all along, so I am expecting her to grow a good bit more. Plant 1 is still stretching rapidly and is still in preflower. Extremely very concerned about this one. The light is about as high as it can go. 111cm!! I have scoured the internet and the tallest Epsilon F1 I have found was 95cm. It's great that she is so happy this plant, but if she gets much taller I'm going to have to super crop her main cola. Whatever happens I am starting to dream of smashing my yield target out of the park, these girls are all impressive. Hard to believe they are just 30 days old. Daily Updates: ### Week 5 Day 2 15:00 24/7 Photographed. ### Week 5 Day 2 23:30 24/7 fertigated 1.6l and updated nutrient schedule for the week ### Week 5 Day 3 20:00 25/7 took a short video ### Week 5 Day 4 05:00 26/7 photographed ### Week 5 Day 4 18:00 26/7 Measured (brace yourself). Plant 1: 126cm Plant 2: 107cm Plant 3: 93cm Plant 4: 94cm Plant 5: 97cm Plant 6: 96cm Plants 3 and 4 have stopped stretching now and are fully into flower. At 93cm and 94cm respectively, by the end of flower these girls may hit 1m but they wont go much more than that. Plant 2 looks to have just about stopped as well. It might go another 10cm overall. Plant 5 is still stretching but I think not much more. Plant 6 is still stretching and I am still expecting quite a bit of growth from her. Then there is plant 1. 126cm and still stretching. It has now grown beyond the height of the light. I hope it can somehow finish itself before it hits the top of the tent. I mean the secondary colas are over 1m already. It is a great shame this giant plant doesn't have more horizontal space to itself, either way it is absolutely shocking to see. I really do not want to super crop her, but am out of options. This grow, incidentally, constitutes the first and last time that I let any indoor cannabis plant go untrained. With basically 4 x 4 x 4 of usable space, training my plants is not really optional - and now you can all see why. This "50-70cm" strain has rapidly outgrown my space. RQS it may be time to revisit the height claims on this strain. Just saying. ### Week 5 Day 6 01:00 28/7 Rearranged the tent and photographed. I have been regularly rotating the plants and periodically moving them around. My problem is now plant one has already hit the top of the tent and there is no easy way to give it anymore space... still not sure what I am supposed to do but it's fine for now... tried to capture the problem with the photos. As well as plant 1, plant 6 looks like it's going to keep going for a good bit yet, and plant 2 is still putting a bit of height on. I took plenty of photos today to try and capture the essence of the jungle. It is quite unbelievable what these plants have done. I just cannot stop looking at them, they are magnificent. I have not fed for 4 days, will probably feed later I am just trying to slow them down a bit by not feeding them. It doesn't seem to be working. ### Week 5 Day 6 23:00 28/7 Defoliated heavily all plants. Fertigated 2l each. Removed some more lower side growth off the smallest plant (plant 3) to make space. Might leave it a few days before I photograph again. Plants 2, 3, and 4 are all well into flowering now, plant 5 is not far behind them, but plants 1 and 6 are still in preflower. :( What is really remarkable right now is the difference in colour between the plants further into flower vs the plants still in preflower. The plants in flowering have much darker leaves. --- 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 ==========

Ready for march/april!

This grow is an example of how important is to check your veg time to make sure it doesn't shoot over the lights and over the roof really, overall is good tho. Also i ditched advanced nutrients for a new brand, since advanced nutrients are just costly stickers imho. 11/16/24 bought a new fert , that will not only last me 10 times with a fraction of cost, also it's much easier then mixing 24 different bottles , also all the liquid ferts tends to cristallize so i don't even know if the fert i've applyied in the past (advanced nutrients perfect ph micro-grow-bloom) was all bioavailable (probably not) since the buds looks already bigger after 1 application. Also Ferty 1 Geo has also molybdenum among the microelements wich was not present on advanced nutrients. cheers!

plants keep growing nice. started veg nutrition plan

It's been a wonderful journey, I'm very happy about this lady's performance, she has produced a high quality harvest, low quantity but I didn't maximice the space as good as I should, but definitely a wonderful genetic to grow, the flowrs are super sticky, full of trichomes and the smell is just the clasic amnesia smell you expect.

This grow is on it’s last lap 🏁 These are by far the most beautiful buds i have grown and would definitely recommend fast buds genetics to anyone. Can’t wait to try these now. Last week i said i was starting the flush but decided to push it back to this week so they only have 1-2 weeks left Will be checking the trichomes daily Let me know what you guys think so far👌🏾🤞🏾

Day 115 since seed touched soil. What a pain to trim it was , almost 5 hours wasted and still see yellow ;(((( .... Journey is almost over ... This girl taught me few things for sure ;) Few month later : very important and lovely news, Seeds Mafia just transfered promised money for diary, so one more huge respect to them !!!! Great house, strong genetics and most important - they follow theirs promises !!!! Highly recommend !!! My first earned cash for growing , it was lovely !!! Check germination week if you dont get it ;)))) Happy Growing !!!

Getting wicked smells on stem rubs. Reminds me of a metal shop lol

I flushed the pots once this week. And use once with enhancer and a very small dose of shrot flowering fertilizer. And I tried very hard to lower the humidity and make the daytime temperature not more than 25 degrees 💐🛸👽💥1

Day 70-77 (Day 71) Not exactly sure why but node spacing on bbb 6&7 is super tight still. Their stems are also harder and less bendy, almost like they’re root bound. Bbb #5 in my veg tent is looking bizarre and I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ve been looking up and asking around about the leaf crinkle and no one seems to know what’s wrong. Trashing a pheno of this would hurt. It could be a keeper too as I don’t think the problem is genetic. It’s definitely root bound but that doesn’t cause contorted new growth like that. I’ve concluded that it’s my dense soil coupled with root bound issues, overwatering and high RH. (Day 72) Later tonight I’m going to give bbb 5 a bath tub flush until it’s reading 200ppms, drain it well and then transplant into a 3g pot with lightly amended soil. I’m also going to give it a light defoliation. I don’t mind stressing the shit out of this plant right now because I won’t be flipping for another week at least. With the small container it will run out of amended nutes mid flower so I will hit it with a few synthetic feedings around then to test out the smokabilty and taste compared to organic nutrients. I might as well give the rest a good defoliation on the rest of the plants too. I will try to get most of what is under the trellis. (Day 73) I definitely defoliated #7 waaay too much. Since it’s tucked away in the corner and a really bushy plant I can’t train it as well as the others. I cut most of the sucker branches and the majority of the lower fans. This should prevent the need to defoliate at all until week 3 of flower. (Day 74) I’ve been reading that higher temperatures with a high RH can affect growth big time. It could be what’s causing all the crinkling and twisting. And now that the plants are in very late veg they could probably benefit from a lower RH. When I was running my temps around 74-78F and 70% RH I was in the perfect range. Now that I’m around 82-86F with the same 70% RH that could be what’s causing it. Hotter air holds more moisture than cooler air and proper vpd at 84F is around 75-80%. I’m going to turn up the speed on my carbon filter and set my controller to 75%. If I don’t see a difference or it gets worse I will drop to 65 and go from there. (Day 76) I finally got the lights raised up another 4 inches or so. It’s not much but it should help reduce the intensity and stretch the nodes more. I’m starting to think the super tight node spacing and droopy/contorted growth has more to do with something I’ve been reading about called ‘soil compaction’. Apparently farmers often deal with compacted soil in fields from running tractors over it all day. When I potted the plants I gave them a good little jiggle to compact the soil down further so I could fit a bit more in the container. I think this could be the culprit as they don’t seem to be drying out evenly. Even the plants in my other room are not drying out like they should and it’s probably from compacting too. With the addition of rock dust and dry amendments the soil can become sandy/clay like and retain a lot more moisture. Wish I would have added a few more liters of perlite and packed the soil a bit looser. Either way I need to get this problem sorted ASAP before I get root rot. Earlier in the season when I overwatered, I stuck a fish tank air pump into the soil and it aerated the soil enough to prevent overwatering. The only reason I discontinued it is because it didn’t have much effect in the 1.7g pots. I just ordered a 36w 6 way fish tank pump that is way more powerful. It was 50 bucks and I’m willing to take a gamble on it. It seems to be my only option at the moment because I can’t just repot. Worst case scenario I can use it for brewing compost teas if it doesn’t work. I’m not sure how well this will work in a giant fabric pot but it’s worth a shot. I’ve heard of people supplementing additional air into raised garden beds with great results. I’m picking off some of the new auxiliary branches to try and widen the node spacing. Growth is definitely slow and stunted but no signs of deficiencies. I just thought of another theory on the node spacing... and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s the mystery problem. I’ve been foliar spraying with 1-1-1 VeloKelp at pretty high concentrations 2-3 times per week. I have heard in passing that kelp and seaweed can somehow reduce stretch. A quick google search reveals that Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed and other marine algae extracts contain large amounts of hormones and auxins that reduce plant height and stretch. *facepalm* Guess I’ll stop that for the rest of the cycle. As far as I know there is nothing I can really do but wait for the plant to use up all those excess hormones and nutes. The recent 0-0-15 seaweed extract and 1-0-3 kelp meal I bought is derived from the same kind as the velokelp. I guess I won’t use it again until week 3 or 4 in flower. Tight nodes are very useful in flower but aren’t desirable at all in when trying to scrog in veg. Especially when they’re like a half inch apart. It slows the shit out of a grow. Vietnamese and biker gangs in my area used to grow SOG style and use a synthetic PGR hormone (meant for bonsai trees) called ‘paclobutrazol’ that would make the weed rock hard dense so they wouldn’t have to pay people as much to trim it. I’ve heard that in recent years they have made the switch to using kelp extracts because paclo is getting harder find and is not meant for food crops let alone smokeable crops. I’m ashamed of it but I have smoked pounds of PGR weed long before I knew what a PGR was. 🤷‍♂️ (Day 77) One more theory. Ever since raising up the plants up onto that shelf the root zone is probably significantly warmer and the bottom of the pot (where most of the roots are) drys out way quicker. It’s possible that the warmer root zone could not be holding dissolved oxygen at the proper rate resulting in that over/underwatered look. Or it could be that I’m not watering enough at once to reach the bottom of the pot where the roots are and it’s indeed under watered. I’m going to water in a gallon when I get my new air pump and see if that makes any positive change. If I see the new air pump making a difference, I will flip on the 21st of April. If I don’t see a difference, I will carefully untangle the plants from the scrog net and remove the shelf. That extra foot should make a massive difference with ppfd and will cool down the roots significantly too. I’m thinking about grabbing a simple soil/compost thermometer to check the temp of the medium. Better safe than sorry. Rough week. Hopefully everything get smoothed out in the next little while before I flip.

So fast and so strong, really impressive! Everything is going alright here

Soweit alles gut, hab sie jetzt zum trocknen aufgehängt. 400g nass ist ordentlich und bis jetzt das beste Ergebnis was ich hatte. Geschmack usw wird nachgereicht wenn sie ins Glas kommen. Sehr nice, 80g trocken (natürlich/leider den Überschuss zur aktuellen gesetzliche erlaubten Menge fachgerecht entsorgt). Buds sind super, richtig fett sogar nach dem Trocknen, auch ordentlich fest und super harzig. Geschmack geht momentan leicht tropische und süße Geschmack mit nem heftigen cheese ton. Is lecker aber nicht ganz was ich erwartet hab 😅. Kommt jetzt erst mal in Gläser zum aushärten, denke da wird sich auch am Geschmack noch was tun.

Day 35 - Light defoliation for this girl! I'm thinking i'll put a bucket under her pot, to get the canopy closer to the light! She's trained out nice and flat, and won't be getting much taller... I think she will benefit from being closer to the 1000PAR mark at this stage of flower!

Get ready for another thrilling update on our magnificent Triton Biscotto Lime in Week 6 of veg. This girl is on fire, and we're taking her journey to new heights. Buckle up and prepare for some green-thumb adventures! This week, we embarked on an important mission: Integrated Pest Management, or IPM for short. Now, before you imagine tiny superhero capes on mites and nematodes, let me explain. We introduced beneficial nematodes into the soil to combat unwanted pests and keep our garden in tip-top shape. These microscopic warriors wage a battle against harmful critters, defending our beloved Triton Biscotto Lime like true heroes. But that's not all! We called in reinforcements in the form of Spical Ulti Mite and Swirskii. These beneficial mites are like our garden's own special forces, launching a full-scale assault on any unwanted pests that dare to enter our domain. It's like a botanical warfare with a twist of camaraderie and a sprinkle of microscopic excitement. Now, picture this: Triton Biscotto Lime, surrounded by her nematode army and mite squad, ready to defend her green kingdom. It's a battle of epic proportions, where our fierce defenders work tirelessly to protect our plant from any unwanted intruders. And hey, who knew mites and nematodes could be such amazing allies in the quest for a thriving garden? In addition to our IPM efforts, we continued to pamper Triton Biscotto Lime with love and care. We ensured she received the optimal lighting she deserves, with a mighty 500 PPFd (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density). It's like giving her a VIP pass to a cosmic light show, fueling her growth and setting the stage for botanical greatness. As we revel in the wonders of IPM and provide Triton Biscotto Lime with the best possible care, we can't help but marvel at the magic unfolding before our eyes. The harmony between our plant and these tiny defenders is like a cosmic dance, showcasing the power of nature's intricate balance. And here's a fun little joke for you: Why did the mites and nematodes form a rock band? Because they knew how to harmonize and strike a chord with their garden audience! In summary, Week 6 of veg has been a week of pest-fighting heroics and cosmic collaborations. Our Triton Biscotto Lime stands strong, backed by her nematode army and mite squad. Together, they create a force to be reckoned with, ensuring a healthy and thriving garden environment. As we continue this green-thumb journey, let's celebrate the power of beneficial allies, the wonders of IPM, and the magic that happens when we join forces with nature. May Triton Biscotto Lime grow stronger with each passing day, and may our garden be a haven of harmony and botanical bliss. Stay tuned for more thrilling updates, my fellow gardeners. Until next time, keep those mites and nematodes rocking and rolling, and may your green thumbs continue to flourish!

On the one hand, Oreoz Mintz, one of the winning horses of the new generation of the Girl Scout Cookies family; on the other, Lemon Tree. This is an epic parental lineage that results in a hybrid with a slight sativa dominance and dazzling qualities, with a short flowering of just 8 weeks and THC levels that can reach up to 22%, causing a very energetic and euphoric effect which is perfect for social events or if you’re looking for top creativity. Triton Biscotto Lime is a feminised strain that’s very easy to grow indoors, although she reaches her maximum potential when grown outdoors bathed by the sun of warm climates like the Mediterranean. She loves light and an aerated substrate, which allows for good oxygenation of the roots and helps the plant absorb the maximum number of nutrients. In return you will get dense and compact marijuana buds in a neon green colour which are sprinkled with amber pistils and covered in a glaze of beautifully crystallised trichomes. As her name suggests, her aroma and flavour are a subtle mix of earthy sweetness with a citrus touch, calling to mind a tasty cookie dessert with a lemon base and some hints of Diesel. A highly addictive flavour that you’ll be happy to taste free of any guilt for wanting to repeat the experience over and over again. So if you’re looking for a feminised marijuana seed that represents the best of the current cannabis scene, with high-calibre properties that contribute to her excellent reputation, then Triton Biscotto Lime has arrived on the market to meet your expectations. Try her now and become hopelessly devoted to her - Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only -
