These girls are looking so much happier since getting some overdue calmag.. Buds have grown a ton since last week and I'm a huge fan of the spacing.. Both the Gypsy-Kush plants look identical.. we cleaned the base of new growth on all plants and removed a few more large fans from around the tops.. Light penetration couldn't be better... The Solux350 is kicking ass! Its incredible how something so small (and at 75%) can light up an entire 4x4 .. these plants are getting plenty of light and at 14".. not too much else to report its been a stellar week!

I’ll be the first to admit I’m no expert on this and I need some help. It seems some of the flowers according to my information at least, have gone on into the pre-flowering stage because of some of the white pistils. Am I too early or too late? Or is this just how the plan is going to be naturally also if anyone has any budget friendly suggestions on how to increase a yield…please throw us a life line. HAPPY GROWING AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! May you all be blessed and more successful then ever!!!!

The last two days of flowering. I am really glad with the grow so far. Haven't watered them for 5-6 days before chopping them

This plant only started flowering after I switched it to 12-12 Not an autoflower This plant also has a mystery graft! I grafted a few and only one survived but as I did not label them I’m not sure what it is Could be RQS royal Cush or northern lights automatic both indica plants suppose to be autos. Bare in mind this royal jack is sativa! It seams to be ok I will be providing it more light to incourage it to flower Looking forward to seeing what the flower will be like.

Day 36- 20/6 General: She keeps growing at a very nice pace, flowering stage just started. Today I cut a good amount of foliage, and accidentally broken a nice branch while training her. It broke in a place I couldn't really 'cast it' so I had to let it go. I'm so sad, it was the first time ever. After some very hot days, now came rain, and an exponential increase of RH. Turned off the humidifier for now and still have peaks of 60% with light off and ventilation full on. But RH outside is 95%, so it's hard to do much better for now. Techniques: Training day, moved a little the stems and broke one in the very bottom, so had to discard it. Took some foliage away to get more light in it. Feeding: Fastening day Smell: She's still the queen of the tent when it comes to this topic, no doubts about it. Temps and RH recorded today: 26c - 20c 60% - 39% Pests and plagues: Nothing to record. Day 37- 21/6 General: She's gettin really taller this last days. Up is the way! Need to do a little more training tomorrow or the day after to make sure all the plant gets the same amount of light. Today I didn't touched her, just took some pictures and let her do her thing. The heavy rain brough 96% RH outside, so I had a little peak oh 70% inside the tent for an hour, but it kinda locked on the 62% with the lights off and extractor full on. Techniques: Nothing to record. Feeding: Later today, before lights on, she'll have her first feed with flowering nutes. 1250ml Smell: She's still the queen of the tent when it comes to this topic, no doubts about it. When you trim some foliage, it comes a nice passionfruit punch. So good I can't believe in it. For those who know Rubicon or Brisa passion fruit sodas, it's just like that. 😍 Now my biggest stress is keeping my girlfriend away from the grow and keep it closed, because she loves that smell and is constantly nosing around. Love it. Temps and RH recorded today: 27c - 21c 70% - 42% Pests and plagues: Nothing to record. Day 38 - 22/6 General: It's stretching season for #3. She really needs a bit of training before it starts full on, and some defoliation. After breaking a stem, I'm a bit traumatised and avoiding touching them for some days. I'm giving her water now for a couple days to see if it gets a bit better, looks like I was giving her a bit too many nutes for this stage. So, first let her dry a bit, then start with PH'ed water. Techniques: Nothing to record. Feeding: I'm giving her water now for a couple days to see if it gets abit better, looks like I was giving her a bit too many nutes for this stage. So, first let her dry a bit, then start with PH'ed water. Smell: Same same, nothing new to record. Temps and RH recorded today: 26c - 22c 62% - 41% Pests and plagues: Nothing to record. Day 39 - 23/6 General: This days I really haven't done much. I wanted to give them a week to be themselves, and see after what can I do to improve them, so this weekend I'll use some time to eventually start a Scrog training, If I'm still on time. She's looking good, but I'm afraid the time between them and the advance stage of #1 might not be the perfect condition to do this. Techniques: Nothing to record. Feeding: Only h2o, ph 6.5 Smell: Same same, nothing new to record. Temps and RH recorded today: 27c - 21c 60% - 37% Pests and plagues: Nothing to record. Day 40 - 24/6 General: Another day is gone, nothing new, keep giving her water and thinking about the ScrOG to make this more effective, as they start to fight for space in the middle of the grow. She's outgrowing #1 Techniques: Nothing to record. Feeding: Aqua vulgaris - A.K.A. - Tap water Smell: Same same, nothing new to record. Temps and RH recorded today: 28c - 23c 53% - 37% Pests and plagues: Nothing to record. Day 41/42 - 24-25/6 General: Big big stretch. Techniques: Nothing to record. Feeding: Aqua vulgaris - A.K.A. - Tap water Smell: Same same, nothing new to record. Temps and RH: 30c - 17c (26 average) 62% - 24% (43% average) Pests and plagues: Nothing to record.

Login issues led to missing a couple weeks, but things have been super smooth. Buds are looking sweeeet and hairy. And they're really fattening up. She's one thick hairy lady. Following the nutrient schedule without deviation, swapping and cleaning the reservoir every week (H2O2 clean), and keeping the humidifier filled. I swapped the pump. First one randomly stopped working for no apparent reason. New one I spec'd with a much lower pump rate and it's a great improvement. No splashing, just a trickle recirculation so I keep it on 24/7. The pH monitoring is so so so much easier now with the good Apera pen. What a difference it makes over the generic ones.

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 ==========

Flushed one for a week and now into darkness. The last two that started flower under the cheap LEDs need a bit longer. They will need another three weeks. The one plant looks really pretty and smells great. The upside is I don't have to trim them all up at the same time. Looking forward the the cure. Cheers

A sad week, I found bud rot and had to take my plants out and do a big check and remove all dense underdeveloped growth. It will be a pretty big hit on the yield I guess but the most important thing is learning and that I did. The bud rot could spread due to my RH being 65/70 at nights and it used to be +80 before, + bad airflow. I got new fans in the tent and my dehumidifier was ordered already but its not in yet. On the other side, the plants are looking pretty damn good, they smell amazing and 3 of the 4 plants is getting a very dense nug structure.

Se da fin a este cultivo de 2 variedad en carpa de 80x80 por 240w. La primera variedad ya en proceso de curado es la Green crack punch (5plantas) tuvieron buen crecimiento, pasaron por 2 transplantes ( 3lt a 7lt) muy rico sabor se llega a sentir los terpenos de cada cogollo. No es todo, en este mismo espacio nos quedan aun las 4 powerFlower, las cuales estos dias se iran de corte para preparar el secado y posterior curado. 5 Green crak punch

3 autos are getting cut this week probably the last watering today. The other 4 are a few weeks behind. The big Photos are straight monsters Ethos genetics are amazing 👏. They are in week 2 since flip. The small photos are around week 5 or 6 veg they just got put under their own light for the first time SF7000 doing 50% at about 22" just to see how they react to the new light. They were also translated and topped yesterday.

Not an overly impressive strain and I would say she was not that hard to grow. If I even grew this one again I would let it go naturally with some LST. Wanted more grape flavours but they don't really come through in the smoke. There's a bit of a sharp fruity smell that's sort of piney with a hint of fuel at the end. The smoke is not too flavourful in my opinion but that just means I didn't grow it well. Super tight nugs so be careful with humidity as stated above. Also she's a bit of a light feeder so be careful with your nutes. As you can see I burnt her tips and over fed her a lot. Not a bad yield though! I've only really smoked the lowers on this one so far so that gave me a bit of a racey high, just slightly racey. I would accredit that to the lowers not being mature enough at chop. The plant is super dense and since I mainlined it the lowers didn't receive enough light. I tried to let the lowers mature more but the plant stopped maturing when I chopped the tops, this caused stress and the plant just shut down basically. Not sure if I would grow Blimburn's GDP again until I grow the real GDP.
