Hey yall! Thanks for tuning in this week. Had a great look under the microscope of my soil, I just ordered a camera for my scope so next week look forward to seeing and identifying some beneficial microbiology! Another round of compost tea, I added Kiwi 🥝 😋 Fermented Juice, to this round of tea. Also adding food for the bacteria (simple sugars) and for the fungi (complex carbs). I suggest using diverse food for increased biodiversity. The mycelium network is really established at this point. Which is why I highly recommend to keep reusing your soil, and the larger the pot size the better. I am in 10 gallons for now. Once I move into our house will be into living beds, 100 gallon + If you can't be in a bed, use 25 gallon. You will benefit in time. So at this point only using inputs I have made from organically grown plants, mostly grown in house. Anything else was wildcrafted, sustainably, so if I take something from nature I am replacing it with something else. Balance in all things. Added the fruit for pushing the flowers. Pistol hairs are growing. This strain is a sativa dominant, and thus my flowers are not as compact and "looser" than indica dominant strains I have always grown. Review on this sativa dominant cultivar is: harder to grow than most strains, longer flowering time is also a pain while increasing my costs with more days with the lights on. Getting COAs on the finished flowers and I will post on here, I am hoping for higher levels of THCv, let's get into the rare cannabinoids and higher terpenes!

Hello growmies! Welcome to week four of An Epsilon Adventure! The girls are already transitioning into flower, I will get some photos of that later in the week. Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow. Daily Updates: ### Week 4 Day 1 11:00 16/7 Removed some lower growth. ### Week 4 Day 2 23:00 17/7 Tallest plants were showing signs of heat stress so I have raised the light about 30cm more. Unfortunately this now means the lower plants aren't getting as much light as they could, so I have put the cycle back to 20h (I may even increase it). ### Week 4 Day 3 14:00 18/7 Photographed. ### Week 4 Day 3 19:00 18/7 Fertigated 2l. Okay these girls are now starting to concern me a little on the basis that they are supposed to grow to "50-70cm". At just over 3 weeks old the shortest of these girls is 53cm, the tallest (plant 3) is now 76cm tall. The worrying thing is they do not at all look like they are slowing down and as they are just pre-flowering now, the flowering stretch hasn't even started. So I need some genuine advice here now: Do I keep the faith and hope that they don't exceed the space I have? Do I top or super crop them now? These ladies are beastly, at the end of the week I am going to take some individual videos and more photos to really try and capture how magnificently well these girls are doing. I think I may be in the process of growing the biggest Epsilon F1's so far? Exciting to find out! ### Week 4 Day 4 21:00 19/7 James has assured me they wont go much more than 85 so I am not going to mess with them. They are due a defoliation at the end of this week though. Measured each plant as follows: Plant 1: 81cm Plant 2: 75cm Plant 3: 80cm Plant 4: 67cm Plant 5: 59cm Plant 6: 58cm Might photograph later or leave until tomorrow. ### Week 4 Day 5 10:00 20/7 Photographed and measured. Plant 1: 85cm Plant 2: 79cm Plant 3: 81cm Plant 4: 71cm Plant 5: 63cm Plant 6: 63cm So they've all grown about 4cm in about 13 hours, except plant 3 - which seems to have slowed down a lot. The top of plant 3 is also the most advanced looking in terms of pistils. I forgot to take close ups of the preflowers I will do that tomorrow. I have had to raise the light again today and it is now much further away than the younger plants than I would like. So I am thinking about adding a 300w LED into my 4x4. I have another 3 inches I can raise the light on the hangers, after that I can removed the adjustable handers and tie it to the top of the tent... that'll gain me another 4 or 5 inches. If I need to go higher my only option would be to set them up without the tent which is not an option right now. Hopefully they all just stop getting taller now and focus on flowering... but my gut tells me there's more growth to come. Watch this space! ### Week 4 Day 6 15:00 21/7 Measured. Average 10cm growth 29 hours. 😳😳😲 Plant 1: 96cm Plant 2: 89cm Plant 3: 88cm Plant 4: 81cm Plant 5: 73cm Plant 6: 72cm ### Week 4 Day 6 23:00 21/7 Defoliated. Only photographed plants 1 and 2 individually as I was short on time. Some lovely pics though! ### Week 4 Day 7 15:00 22/7 Fertigated. 2l Will photograph and measure later when they've had 24h since training. ### Week 4 Day 7 23:00 22/7 Photographed and measured: Plant 1: 102cm Plant 2: 93cm Plant 3: 89cm Plant 4: 85cm Plant 5: 76cm Plant 6: 75cm Well here we are at the end of week 4 and I am quite shocked by the growth of these girls. This strain averages 50-70cm in height. We have six plants here and every one of them is taller than the average... but would you just look at plant 1? She is a giant! 102cm!! Where will she stop? Next week will see the full transition to flower and we will start to see the bud sites developing. I have no idea at this point what the heights will look like at the end of next week. This is sort of new territory really, they weren't meant to get this big! --- 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 ==========

Anfang der Woche wurden alle Hauptriebe runtergebogen. 3 Pflanzen sind aber zu robust und der Hauptrieb zu dominant. Also darf er frei wachsen. Nochmal will ich sie nach BW2 nicht trainieren. läuft gut. ich bin zufrieden

Hey gang update on the new girls!!!! So they are definite differences in the girls genetics I can tell just by this growth so far, The Tricross is a bit thinner on the fan leaves and a bit more lanky or taller. Whereas the Muchacha F5 is shorter and has wider fan leaves, so this will Most Def be a interesting grow, I'm excited to see if i can make this a much better grow then the last run. I will be using the FOOP nutrient line i picked up to see how the girls fare with is, but i wont start that until maybe week 5 or 6 depending on how the progress is at that point, thanks guys! will keep y:all posted!!!!

This past week has been a blast! After getting these ladies nutrition straightened out, they are thriving!💚🌱💚 I gave defoliated wayyy more than what I see other growers traditionally doing. After the "3rd and final haircut" I defoliated two more times 😅 Thank you the GD community for the support and resources along the way 🙏 My only concern now is the tent actually becoming too crowded.😆. Other then that I am thinking it should be smooth sailing these next 6 weeks or so. 🏴‍☠️😎🏴‍☠️ Happy Growing! 💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚

I think I am worrying myself more than I need too. The calicum defficiency has took over around a half of the fan leaves on 1 of the plants. I don't have much hope in a great yield from this one but fingers crossed my other 2 were caught in time. Have folder fed with a slightly more concentrated spray of cal mag and ph'd water. Whilst keeping a feed, plain ,feed schedule Unfortunately I don't currently have access to a ppm reader so can't say for sure exactly what the problem is but It seems the defficiency has slowed/stopped. Will continue to monitor.

Всем привет. Шоколадка развивается, толстеет, покрывается липкими трихомами. Самая сахарная и ароматная дама в саду. Цветёт она примерно 2 недели. Пнреодичнски убираю часть листьев, которые закрывают шишки.06. 04.20 я производил дефолиацию, обнаружил сдвоенную шишку, полиплодия. Очень красиво, необычно и впечатляюще🤗

Hey all ! Here we go again, with some super duper genetics (... and so f*ck*ng expensive 😱). If you have a Growing Lad and you past here , STOP ! I NEED YOU ☝️ I wanna a job in the Cannabis industry, just leave me in your Lab I will do the rest 🐞 The Jumanji will be powered by Cellmax Nutrients : [Day 113] Last week for the Super Skunk , flushed the soil to 450ppm, the buds are .... big ? Massive ? Stunning ? Donkey d*ck buds ? .... I can't find my words ... just look by yourself the video and the pictures I'll let you judge 😉 Now I really want to point the efficiency of Cellmax nutrients, as you can see the Alga-Max has done a wonderful jod, buds has exploded, but the most important thing is the scent and aromas... O...M...G so beautiful !!!! The Flower Stimulator has triggered and pushed to max level all the terpenoids and sweetness, all this combined with the Allzymes to increase a bit more the absorption I'm getting quality and quantity, this is a proof of high premium quality ingredients 👍 [Day 114] - Water pH 6.5 (Cellmax pH Down Bloom) GSC GG [Day 115] - Water pH 6.5 (Cellmax pH Down Bloom) + Flower Stimulator 2ml/1l + Allzymes 1ml/1l : 400ppm / 0.9mS BBG T.H, SS OG - Water pH 6.5 (Cellmax pH Down Bloom) SS 1,2,3 WW 1,2,3 [Day 117] - Water pH 6.5 (Cellmax pH Down Bloom) + Allzymes 1ml/1l + Flower Stimulator 2ml/1l + Alga-Max 1ml/1l + Earth Bloom Mix 2ml/1l : 800ppm GSC - Water pH 6.5 (Cellmax pH Down Bloom) SS 2 [Day 118] - Water pH 6.5 (Cellmax pH Down Bloom) BBG T.H,SS OG SS 3 -Water pH 6.5 (Cellmax pH Down Bloom) + Allzymes 1ml/1l + Flower Stimulator 2ml/1l : 400ppm GG

This 3 of these seem to be doing fine. I actually accidentally threw away 2 of the other seeds by misplacing the proper germination paper towel. That's OK though all 3 of these popped so can't complain. Hoping to see a lot of stretching and a more leaf growth.

so she grows with ease and very well has good natural shape with a main cola and lots of side branches would be good in a sog grow not sure about scrogg or lst as didn't try it she takes nutes well iv been rough with the autos lately just letting them grow in with plants in veg not really trying with them but if grown with more care and attention she could have been a lot better yield wise but I'm happy with what shes produced under the conditions and would recommend to anyone thanks to all who comment, like,help and follow happy growing guys

Hello. This is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 of flowering. I'm a bit bummed about this grow. I've read that you just need to force a plant to flower, that's 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark for the first 3 weeks (I had a tent inside the greenhouse) and then put it outside and it will continue to flower. I thought that was amazing, so I wanted to give it a try. Well, here we are at the end of the 7th week and it looks like the plants are going back into veg. Last year I didn't do up the tent for the last 2 weeks and everything was fine so I thought I would give this keeping it open after the 3rd week a try. Now I know. I can always turn it into hash, maybe dry ice hash. Here's another reason I'm bummed about this grow. I've got spider mites. I'm doing my best to knock them down with my hypochlorous acid. I'm spraying twice a week, but had some yellowish looking leaves, I reread the article (I put up a pic of it a few of weeks ago) and found I had to rinse the indoor plants. So after I sprayed the 1/2 strength acid I waited 10 minutes and rinsed with water. Today I can see more mites than when I sprayed before. So next time I'll wait till the 1/2 acid mix is dry before I rinse the leaves and see if that knocks them down more. If you don't try new things you don't learn. That's what this grow is about, to see if the plants can still keep flowering at my latitude and now that I have mites, to see if the hypochlorous acid will work without killing the plants. Yes, I'm 60 something and still learning. 😃 Be Great. Chuck.

Well it’s been 2 weeks now and the girls are doing nicely, they have been lightly fed twice a day and have outgrown their Solo cups. I flushed the Coco 3 times to a reading of 10ppm out the bottom. It took 2.5 gallons of pH’d RO water.. I transferred them to 5.7 litre smart pots tonight and gave them about 500ml of nutes. I also prepped the CoCo with Myko before transplanting. So far I’m liking the CoCo and so are the girls. Wish me luck on this grow. Any comments and suggestions welcome.

At day 20, I can see that the strech phase is almost over. The girls are now expressing a more specific nose, even if they share a similar aromatic profile of exotic fruits. They all share that same tropical funk back ground (myrcene/terpinolene), but some of them (#2 and 4) got a solid punch of sour lemon. Pheno #1 65%Indica Bushy/compact structure Smaller buds, tightly disposed on the branches Sweet/tropical/Pine Pheno #2 65%Sativa Sturdy structure/ Very fat branches Good size buds, medium internodes Sweet/tropical/Sour citrus Pheno #3 65%Sativa Sturdy structure/ good size branches Good size buds, medium internodes Sweet/tropical/skunk Pheno #4 65%Sativa Sturdy structure/ medium size branches Good size buds, short internodes Sweet/tropical/Sour citrus Pheno #5 80%Sativa leggy structure/small size and long branches Good size buds, long internodes, it stacks Sweet/tropical

Popped 3 of these, all three popped & sprouted but I killed one with direct airflow on her from my intake fan. I will have 2 of these to grow out & will be growing 1 baikal Express in place of her.
