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 ==========

7 or 14 days before chop.

End of week 3. Looking good. She is covered in bud sites. Some decent development so far. She hasn't stretched as much as I'd have liked but her colas look to start pretty low. Time well tell how much she will produce. Can't wait to watch her bulk up!

My Skunk Apple Run plant is still a bit young, but I can see those buds starting to form. It's a bit of a slow starter, with buds popping up all over the place instead of a nice even line. We'll see if adjusting the light cycle or its food might help it along. I'll keep you posted on any changes. The past few weeks have been so beautiful, watching the plants grow and change. It's amazing how something so small and fragile can turn into something so strong and vibrant. Now that they're getting ready to bloom, it feels a little bittersweet. I'm so excited to see the finished product, but I'll definitely miss having them around while they're growing.

Semana del 9 al 15 de septiembre 2024. Las Positronics auto aun no Entran a Floración, y ya van bastante avanzadas, mientras las otras, unas van muy flacas y otras si van bastante gordillas.

2/14/2019 Good week, #1 slowing her stretch, #2 still going strong had to super crop her top, she recovered very fast and I had to super crop her again as she was touching the light! Raised the light to get 8" clearance from the light. Enjoy your week! See you next time.

Encantado de la oportunidad de crecer estás variedades, sin duda, llenaron todas mis espectativas 🍀😍🤩

32 days from seed in glass. Changed pot, added more light, added humidifier, added fan. Now I using more nutrients.

Trichome formation starting slowly on all plants. Both forbidden cherry show hanging leaves quite often, but then recover. Stoll missing the purple coloration. In contrast the 3x auto blueberry and auto orange bud are quite happy, constantly. Auto orange bud is in the lead in terms of bud formation and developing well. Nice earthy citrus smell. It's the smallest plant, but beautiful. I could get the humidity down by going to 24/7 light and exhausting used air directly outside the basement window. Accordingly, I increased distance to light to axilhiece 400-700 ppdf, as DLI over 24h is almost +60 everywhere.. I am wondering if that's too much light, but so far they seem to cope. I prefer a bit of light stress over a too high humidity. I also intentionally went a bit higher with the sensi bloom to 3ml/l. A day later the plants are showing a deeper green but also slightly burned tips. So I know now that the 2ml/l (50% of recommendation) are just about right. I irrigate every 3rd day, alternating pure water (well, not entirely pure, I add bus Candy due to the magnesium) with watering including sensi bloom a and b nutrients

Week 7 had hit and the girls are now in flower, no problem that I could remember, I was feeding Dutch pro grow a+b and bloom but cut the grow out on week 7. 2 off the girls are massive and looking to be monsters.

She's doing damn great starting to die off tho I think I let pH get a little too high but it's good she'll pull out ajdusting for it she's almost done gonna havrest slightly early I normally prefer about 20 percent amber trics gonna check with microsope end of the week nugs are absolutely hard as rocks this bàbby is gonna go out with a bang that's for sure ! Soon to start diarie on my other two babies I got on the side

Happy Easter all over the word, I will share my Italian best aperitif ever. D51 Eighth week, if they are so beautiful it is also thanks to you! I love this community, I hope to stay there, as long as I don't get arrested... Anyway... I wanted to point out that all my doses of nutrients are for a liter and a half of water so as to be even more scrupulous to avoid overfertilizing. I turned off the dimmer, at noon simulating a half day of fire lol i'm crazy. added a reflective film to the base of the room, raised the plants to the same level by placing boxes under the pots, many Thanks @Roberts for encouraging me to look for the boxes, I'm a lazy boy!😇 ...a clarification for the most refined minds .... I know very well that the glass is for white wine but it is the only one I have, I take this opportunity to thank my neighbor for giving it to me ;) D55 Buds fattering

The plants are really increasing there intake of water and nutrients. Trimmed leaves below the canopy and some of the upper fan leaves.

She's looking good to go with her flowers stacking and her trichome production continuing to coat her flowers! Today she was given 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉ which I gave her half through her drip pan (bottom chuggin), the remainder trough the medium. I also gave her pot a 1/4 turn. 9/29- Yesterday I didn't water her, only turned her pot and checked her over... Wow! She's really ramping up the trichomes making her flowers look like their sugar coated! 🤩 I watered her today with 1.5g of de-chlorinated water with 1 tsp/g of unsulfured molasses added which was then ph'd to 6.4 @ 72℉. The molasses will give the microbial colony some additional food as well as supplying micro-nutrients to the plant. I finished out the daily maintenance giving her a check over and turning her pot 1/4 turn to ensure she gets light to every inch of her. 10/1- Yesterday was a 'no water' day as her pot was still fairly heavy to lift. Today she was watered with her usual of 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was ph'd to 6.2 @ 72℉. Her flowering continues to impress me with her trichome production covering her flowers, that have these incredibly beautiful blood red hairs in them, with 'frost' making her a sight for sore eye's! 😍 The end of next week will be the beginning of her wrapping up with the 'Finish Line' approaching by Week 8 or 9! 10/3- With Week Seven coming to a close we're going into the last 2 weeks for this lady and she's right on track, looking like a Rock Star! 🤩 I watered heavy yesterday and added 1 tsp/g of Unsulfured Molasses to the 1.5g of de-chlorinated water which was then ph'd to 6.6 @ 72℉. Her pot had some weight to it when I checked today so I'll skip watering her until tomorrow. I finished up today by checking her over and giving her pot a turn. ~Thanks for stopping in! This epic run will be wrapping up in the coming weeks...Stay lifted and be Blessed! 😎🙏~

Had a good week with some good growth. They started off a little slow due to transplant mistakes but once I figured it out and fixed it they took off. I think the unknown bag seed might be a male check the pics. I wanted to top them but most they seem to want to stay short. I'll top in a day or two. They are drinking plenty between feedings and they seem to love the grow big. I'll step it up today when I feed and see how they like it. Dont have many pics yet had to move my grow and havnt had time to take proper pics but these are not bad.

Week 13 - a cute visitor! We've had strong winds, so I made a little support net with some hemp string. Tbh, I just went with my inuition: knots here and there and strong support. Let's hope this will do the trick. Temps are lower this week but humidity is up. Sun keeps shining. This should be a good harvest. Another 10cm growth spurt. That's more than 1cm per day. I should hear her grow at this speed. Also, the leaves on this one. She really means business. It's almost a full time job to keep her in check. But I'm only here on weekends and I think she likes that. 5 days of undisturbed growth until it's time for a little leaf shedding. She's doing and looking great. I found a tiny critter enjoying some leaves, luckily my cats keep them at bay, so no damage.

She's a stinky girl. Canopy is holding fairly uniform to this point still. Moved to floor, no booster seat anymore. She's a quick, 21-28 days is my guess.

Last week of veg, Ppm runoff 1800 and ph 6.6 I don't like this SCROG net very much, I am thinking about removing it for the flower but we will see. Also noticed some pests ( thrips, spider mites) but very little on some leaves at the bottom so I sprayed her with neem diluted in water with soap used as an emulsifier ( made 5 l solution, sprayed around 0.75l until she was soaking wet and with rest of the solution watered water)

Comenzando un nuevo cultivo de 12 semillas Jamaican Dream de Eva Seeds. Sustrato 50% turba, 50% vermiculita con un pH de 4.0, por lo cual tuve que agregar dolomita para subir el pH del suelo a 5.5. 1.-Germinando directo en sustrato. 2.-al indoor para aprovechar la temperatura que genera el led, los días están algo helados y debo mantener la temperatura sobre los 20 grados Celsius, aproveche de espolvorear algo de great white sobre el sustrato y agregar más agua. 3.-aun nada, ansiedad x1000 😰, espero que al menos germinen 9 de las 12. 4.- Día 1, Por fin germinaron!!!!, 12 de 12, la ultima está asomando, ya les saque el plastico y les di el primer riego de agua 6.0pH con voodoo juice, tarantula y piranha, 1ml por litro de cada uno. Feliz!! 😁 5.- Día 2, ya están mostrando las primeras hojas de un solo dedo, 2~4cm de altura. Ahora a esperar que salgan las primeras hojas verdaderas para empezar a contar como primera semana de vegetación.
