I’m two weeks late on widow you guys I’m so sorry. Had a few complications but she’s growing like a champ now. I topped her last week wanted to give her some time To recover. She has these small spots on the bottom leaves so ima defoliate those to allow more airflow up top. Introduced some cal mag to her to keep her nice and green. Had a little bit of white fungus so I sprayed her with a milk water to keep it away also put a new fan in for airflow. Probably will let her veg for another two weeks then switch to flower

Las plantas se ven bien, me hubiese gustado que estén en una maceta mas grande. Intentare hacerlo esta semana aunque no se si sea lo mejor a esta altura.

8/31/2024 Both plants getting their first day of bloom spectrum lighting, red spectrum dominant. Already seeing signs of flowering on Plant A - the transition into flower must have been perfect. Otherwise, this plant might be an autoflower? DLI on canopy top around 30-32. Lights set to 70% intensity. Reduced lung room humidity to 50% target. Lots of rain lately and the dehumidifier is working hard to keep up with 60-80% outdoor humidity. Tent humidity is hanging out around 60-65% 9/2/2024 Checking over both plants and doing light defoliation of larger fan leaves. Looking for more pre-flower signs on Plant B. Small nodules appearing on plant B. slightly odd formations compared to plant A. I will be keeping a close eye on this over the next few days. Water level issues from last week are well within control. Since the fix was implemented the system requires about 2 fewer gallons to keep the system cycling as intended. Continuing to top the reservoir with fresh nutrient water with about 1 gallon of water per day. Still have not conducted a water change from the system. I will be planning one here closer to the end of this week when I have a little bit more free time at home. 9/3/2024 Plant A has a few signs of natural varieagation on fan leaves. Also found this cool leaf formation on a few of the larger fan leaves (see picture above). Plant B pre-flower signs still look odd, but monitoring closely. 9/6 Plant B still unconfirmed as a female. Preflower expressions are looking slightly more female, but no hairs yet. Both plants are looking healthy and doing well! The flow issues with the return line was due to a root mass making its way into the line and getting stuck. I was able to pump it out with some suction. Flow is completely returned and both buckets, back to stress free hydro for a few more days :D

Tent has been heavily neglected....will pick up routine this week. Just been a busy week and hopefully settling in the next coming weeks. Have to up nutrients and sort out these deficiency's or PH you inbalance is what I think the culprit is She lives in the other tent now with some photos for a different diary in the making. In an autopot.

🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 4 Report Early Vegetative Phase (12/12 from Seed) Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268 🌱 Growth Overview – Entering Structure This week marks Week 4 since germination (often considered Week 3 in growth rhythm), and the plants are now clearly transitioning from early establishment into structural development. All plants are healthy, vibrant, and responding beautifully to the environment. Growth remains steady rather than explosive — exactly what’s expected when running 12/12 from seed. What’s most exciting this week is that we’ve officially begun training, and with it, the first real divergence in plant architecture. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment – Gradual Shift, No Shock We’ve started to gently guide the environment toward a more “grown” climate, without rushing anything. • Relative Humidity: ~65% (slowly lowered from previous weeks) • Day Temperature: ~26 °C • Night Temperature: ~18 °C • CO₂: ~666 ppm • Lamp Distance: ~1.70 m from canopy • Substrate Temperature: ~22 °C • Solution Temperature: ~22 °C Airflow is still kept soft, but this week we’ve begun increasing movement slightly. The goal is to start encouraging stem strength and plant responsiveness, preparing them for the phases ahead while keeping stress close to zero. ⸻ 💡 Lighting – Raising the Bar, Naturally Light intensity continues its progressive increase, following plant demand rather than forcing development. • Previous Weeks: ~400–500 PPFD • Current Week: moving from ~500 toward 600 PPFD The plants are clearly growing into the light, which is exactly what we want to see. This gradual ramp-up will continue week by week, allowing the canopy to adapt naturally as structure and leaf mass increase. ⸻ Substrate & Containers • Medium: ProMix • Containers: 15 L plastic bags Root activity is clearly accelerating now. Even though top growth remains compact, internal development is well underway — something that becomes very apparent once training begins. ⸻ Nutrition – Consistency Over Reaction Nutrition remains unchanged and stable, reinforcing the idea that plants don’t need constant adjustments when they’re already happy. Current inputs: • Plagron Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Vita Race (foliar application) This balanced organic–mineral approach continues to deliver excellent results: lush green color, healthy leaf posture, and no signs of deficiency or excess. As always, the philosophy here is simple: don’t fix what isn’t broken. ⸻ ✂️ Training Focus – Low Stress, High Intention This week, we introduced Low Stress Training (LST) on one selected plant. Using long clips, the main stem is gently bent and guided almost parallel to the ground, opening the plant structure and allowing light to reach the lower growth sites. Leaves are carefully repositioned to expose side branches without damaging tissue or creating stress points. This technique: • Breaks apical dominance • Encourages lateral branch development • Keeps the plant shorter and wider • Promotes a more even canopy later on The trained plant is currently the shortest of the group, but already showing strong response. She’s entering her fourth node, and lower branches are clearly waking up and pushing upward. The other plants remain untrained for now, growing naturally. This will allow us to directly compare structure, stretch, and expression later on — same genetics, same environment, different guidance. What to Expect: • Slower vertical growth on the trained plant • Increased side branching • A more compact, bushy structure What Not to Expect: • Immediate explosive growth • Stress reactions • Delays in overall health This is guidance, not force. ⸻ 🍃 General Observations • Leaf color remains deep, healthy green • Growth is compact and intentional • Plants are calm and responsive • Training response is already visible • No signs of stress or imbalance Videos included this week show the entire room and all plants, giving a full-picture view of how the Nectar Drip is progressing as a group. ⸻ 🔮 Reflections on 12/12 From Seed This week reinforces why I’m really enjoying the 12/12 from seed approach. Growth may be slower on the surface, but structure, balance, and root development feel extremely solid. The plants are building themselves quietly — and that patience usually pays off later. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude & Community Huge thanks once again to: • Zamnesia Seeds • TICAL • Plagron • Future of Grow for supporting this run and making this collaboration possible. And thank you to the community — supporters, critics, newcomers, and long-time followers alike. Everything shared here reflects my personal experience and opinion, including my choices, lessons, and mistakes. It’s a privilege to share this journey openly so we can all learn together. ⸻ 🌟 Week 4 Summary • Environment gently shifting • Light intensity rising naturally • First training introduced • Plants healthy and responsive • Structure beginning to form The Nectar Drip is no longer just settling in — it’s taking shape. More to come.

Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Hello. It 35 c. in the greenhouse today with 5 fans running. Stinkin hot in there. I hope the heat doesn't melt my THC crystals. It's suppose to be as warm tomorrow too. > I have not seen any powdery mildew on either Amnesia Lemon this year. >I have started my 2nd flush today. I' try for 4. But might have to cut a little earlier because>>> > AAHHH, I found a small patch of spider mites on the Amnesia Lemon. I only have a week to go so I decided to turn up the fans instead of spray. Yes they will progress, but slowly and they cant spin their webs in the wind, so it slows them down. And I don't mind smokin dried spider mites (isn't it extra protein). I'm blaming the house behind me, I looked through the fence and they have about 12 large pots growing cannabis, imagine that. >Starting to get some color on the Burmberry and the Sister Amnesia Lemon looks ready to be cut down. > I'll take some more pictures just before harvest and during and after. It took me 2 days to cut it down last year. I wet trim. I grew Dr. Green Thumb seeds Big Laughing last year. They made decent buds but they were not very strong, disappointed. Thought I'd try some stuff that did well inside and see what they did in the greenhouse. These plants were taken as clones, near the start of the year 2020. I moved them in the greenhouse when it was warm enough and did some training then. I started to flower them at the end of May. The tent worked great at forcing flowering at the brightest time of the year. Less chance of problems then trying to flush on a cold October day. I hope I helped makes it clearer in what I'm doing.

Hello growmies! Welcome to week six of An Epsilon Adventure! Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow! So here we are at week six and every one of these girls are at a slightly different stage, it is quite fascinating to watch them develop one after the other. Today I made the last adjustment to the light possible. I removed the adjustable hangers and affixed a carabiner which I tightly tied to the top of the tent bar. There is about 1.5 inches of space between the top of the shade and the tallest part of the roof of the tent. Plant 1 is already taller than this, and it looks like plant 6 and maybe even plant 5 are going to join it. It's a madness. I am sure you have already looked at the photos but just in case you do what I do and read the diary first... Here is my assessment at the beginning of week 6: Plant 1: Height: 1st (137cm) - what can I say about this ridiculous plant? Day 36... 137cm tall. I have had to raise the light to as high as it is physically possibly to raise it and it's still not high enough. She is done stretching now, she may add 3-5cm over the next week or so but I don't expect more than that, so her top of her main cola going to have to develop above the level of the light. Nothing I can really do, nothing wise anyway. What a monster plant. Maturation: 4th - early into flower - bud sites developing, pistils just starting to explode. Plant 2: Height: 4th (111cm) - this plant has been there or there abouts as the tallest plant for most of the grow, but she has topped out at 111cm. She will gain some during flower but not much more than a few centimetres. Very impressive plant, loads of bud sites, really big strong secondary branches. This one is going to be colas galore. Maturation: 3rd - well into flower - all white pistils Plant 3: Height: 6th (95cm) For some brief days the tallest plant in the room, she peaked early and is now the "shortest" at "only" 95cm for this "50-70cm" strain. She is utterly dwarfed by four of her five sisters in just about every department, being quite a bit smaller even than plant 4 (although I have removed the most lower nodes from this plant). Compared with her sisters she is almost a runt... except that she is 25cm taller than the strain top-end average and matches the maximal height of the previous tallest Epsilon F1 plant I am aware of. It's not that she is small, actually she's pretty big for an Epsilon F1, it's just that the rest of the girls are on another level altogether. Plants 1, 5 and 6 are all absolute beasts. Maturation: 1st - well into flower - first shades of brown in some pistils. Plant 4: Height: 5th (98cm) although only 3cm taller than plant 3, overall she is a much larger plant. Her secondary nodes are the same height as plant 3. Maturation: 2nd - well into flower - all white pistils Plant 5: Height: 3rd (113cm) - one of the two thick/short girls who have grown at a similar pace all along - she is further ahead than plant 6 but not by much and I think she will probably exceed 120cm this week, though I do not think she will outgrow plant 1 or 6. Maturation: 5th - early into flower - bud sites developing. Plant 6: Height: 2nd (120cm) - my predictions were correct about this girl and her continued growth. I now think she might actually outgrow plant 1, which is quite worrying. Maturation: 6th - early into flower - bud sites forming - by far the least mature plant of the six. ### Week 6 Day 2 23:00 30/7 Photographed. Raised the light. Rotated the plants. Inspected, measured and reported on each plant. ### Week 6 Day 3 23:00 31/7 It has not escaped my attention that the plants that are more advanced into flower have darkened and have some burnt tips. I need to flush them and lay off the base nutes a bit. These plants are just growing and maturing so quickly that I cannot keep up. ### Week 6 Day 5 02:30 2/8 Fertigated 3l of nutrient mix, without either COCO A or B. ### Week 6 Day 6 01:30 3/8 photographed --- 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 ==========

(Slight Nute burn this week so flushed with PH 6 water and dropped resevoir PPM from 1000 to 800) About 2-3C difference between ambient air temperature and leaf surface temperature (24.5-25C) . No defoliation, just pushing larger fan leaves down. Tying down branches to keep canopy flat. Light: Red/Blue/2x full spectrum CREE COBs (+IR and UV supplementation) At plant canopy = Avg. PPFD 770umols/s/m2 ~ Lux 25,000-35,000 ~ Daily Light Integral 50-55 Crop control: Infection control practices i.e -PPE, Alcohol Hand wash -Gray room outside tent, -Carbon filter -HEPA filter -Plasma Ionizer -Inline UV-C germicidal bulb Ed Rosenthal -Zero Tolerance on hand if needs be too. Hopefully to avoid ever needing chemical pesticides.

Acapulco, gold has gone absolutely crazy, and we have so many branches. I have lollipoped her this week, too. She is still stretching, hopefully that's going end real soon, because we have no room left in the tent, and we're getting light burn. I have been moving the plant around to maximise the light exposure and minimise the light stress and heat damage, she has been drinking heavily. However, I have not watered too much as I have a lot of fungus gnats in some of the other soil that I used so I'm going to be letting it dry out a little bit before I water again. I'm just trying to get the fungus gnat population under control with some sticky traps. Here is what I did this week. 19.8.25: I watered with 6.5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with; 💜 1ml Trace PH: 6.4 PPM: 355 20.8.25: I watered with 4L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 with; 💜 1ml Trace 💜 1 TSP Biosys PH: 6.3 PPM: 340 21.8.25: I watered with 5L of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.5 with; 💜 1ml Ecothrive Flourish 💜 1 TSP Biosys PH: 6.5 PPM: 354 Thanks for checking out this week and for hanging out in the comments 😁💚✌️🌱🤞

Days 33-35 Both ladies have been transplanted and moved into the Veg tent! If you look in the video you can see the setup. Both are in 10.5"x10.5" square nursery pots approx 3Gal each. Both were put into happy frog soil using azos and recharge during transplant. I have them under an optic 8+ with a cob as supplemental lighting Day 37: A light defoliation day today, especially for #1. I removed all the mature fan leaves that were blocking any bud sites or nodes at all. Essentially leaving the top 2 mature leaves in tact. I honestly did not want to do this! It was heart wrenching to mutilate such a beautiful naturally growing plant 🤷‍♂️ practicality wins in the end tho. I removed the 2 oldest lowest fan leaves from #2 as well. More for sanitation reasons. They werent8blocking anything but the uh were dragging in the dirt and starting to fade anyhow. I actually kept 1 leaf. My 1st time ever doing this. The leaf is so neat, overlapping itself. *transplant update day 37* In my very green opinion they look to be struggling a bit with the transplant. I like to wet my medium prior to placing the rootball in, sometimes it's great and the roots chase it. Sometimes they get a little water logged and it takes a week b4 watering. I'm thinking it's the latter in this scenario. Day 38; #1's top fan leaves are rolling in again. I figured it was heat but the surface area doesn't get above 78° which from what I've read is fine. Maybe it's a strain issue? Looks very imdica, ma uh be is accustomed to a cooler climate? Day 39: I lowered #1 about a foot further from the light. She is still all curled up tho. It isn't heat. I watered them at transplant per my usual routine. 2 other plants stranded extremely bad and these 2 are acting goofy. I probably over did it that day Day 42 and 43 In day 42 CMOG #1 needed some water. It's her 1st drink since transplant. #2 on the other hand is drinking a bit less. I also took 2 upper fan leaves off #1(I hate doing it, but gotta promote those bud sites!! Day 43nothing really to report. I videotaped myself plucking a couple lower fan leaves. I'm raising the fan a bit more above #2 to keep wind stress down. Day 44: 🚨⛈️Emergency!!⛈️🚨 Power is out! My light cycle is as follows: on at 6pm off at 12pm. Its 2:45am right now and the power has gone out. Which was wierd because it went out b4 the storm hit! It was fricken midday when the outtage happen!! My poor Chocolate Mint OG 😖 keeping humididty down is gonna be hard and my grow is very far from and natural light source even if they were on the same cycle as nature 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ if ur reading this say a quick prayer! Thanks!!🙏✌️🌱
