This was an easy grow, and had some amazing results. This is some of my best homegrown to date ❤️ the ladies were easy to manage, no PM, pests or disease. The root balls were enormous, wasn’t much soil to recover. They got heavy in the end from the weight but managed to stay upright for the most part. They were big stretchers , prepare for that, scrog was a good way to go but some of the eager beavers got away from me, which ended in some massive colas. Overall easy to grow, no surprises and you won’t regret the results! 10/10 ❤️👊🤤

Hi people! who was surprised that I had to tie it?)) the buds are just huge! and already at this stage they are strong as stone! and they still keep growing! and yes! I also gave her overdrive !!!))) probably my favorite fertilizer! I love her effect! how it affects the buds! and how quickly you can see its effect. I'll show you Overdrive's work next week! if you haven’t dealt with this booster yet, you will be pleasantly surprised!

Okay, so this is the very first CBD auto ive ever grown. I grew it as a hobby grow, since these seeds were freebies from a seed order. To my surprise, this was one of the most beautiful plans ive grown. She remained small and squat. Topping her did wonders, since she had a dozen "main colas" as a result. All of the buds are uniform. All are colorful. She was just stupid easy to grow. I grew her in my living room for fuq sake lol. If you are looking for a CBD auto that smells delicious and is crazy easy to grow under artificial lighting, go for this one. I am beyond happy with the outcome. I will add more photos of the bud soon

Day 65 - Pics/Vids..... Everything looks good......stress bent them into position and defoliated ..... lots of flowering now..... ..... hadn't actually measured them for awhile, and updated the height, 44 cm .... tested out the lights higher, 40cm away, and seemed to slow down growth... so moved em back, 20-25cm... watering is the same, bottom saucer feeding, 850-1000 ppm dutch master one flower 5-8ml/lt.... actually using about 12-15ml / 1.8l....... Day 70 (10 wks) - Pulled em both out of tent, flushed em and trimmed em abit, took some pics/vids in the sunshine. ...... the soil started smelling bad, - stale, moldy, damp, soil smell..... so i did a full flush out on both.... noticed afew gnats, been afew since the start, but haven't really been many.... i'm going to try out a UV bulb, and also a usb uv led bug trap ..... just ordered them.... posted a pic of both... see if they are any good..... 😎

Hey fellow growers welcome to the start of week 5 of flower!! Things are starting to take shape after the nana scare I’ve been keeping a close eye on the lady’s. There being fed every second day and wanting more as they gain size. All plants are starting to frost up but big bud 2 is at another level with sticky stinky colas. Fingers crossed they will continue to just do what there doing gaining size and frosting up. We did get in there and do the final defoliation a week late but that’s what happens when you work fifo and can’t be here at all times. They will get another feed today. Until next week happy growing 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Week 11: The Culmination of a Botanical Odyssey! Greetings, fellow cultivators! As we stand on the threshold of greatness, Week 11 marks the culmination of an extraordinary journey with our beloved Epsilon F1. Join me as we embark on a retrospective voyage, celebrating the triumphs and tribulations that have shaped our grow, and prepare to reap the rewards of our labor. From humble beginnings to towering magnificence, our Epsilon F1 has been a beacon of resilience and beauty throughout her growth cycle. With each passing week, she has defied expectations, surpassing milestones and blossoming into a botanical masterpiece. From the delicate tendrils of her seedling stage to the majestic colas of her flowering phase, she has captured our hearts and ignited our passion for cultivation. But let us not forget the tools and techniques that have guided us on this transformative journey. From the cutting-edge genetics provided by Royal Queen Seeds to the innovative nutrients crafted by Aptus Holland, our arsenal has been fortified with the finest resources available. Each piece of equipment, from the grow lights to the ventilation system, has played a vital role in creating the optimal environment for our plant to thrive. Ah, but it hasn't been without its challenges. From nutrient deficiencies to environmental fluctuations, we've encountered obstacles along the way that tested our resolve and ingenuity. But with perseverance and a steadfast commitment to excellence, we've overcome every hurdle, emerging stronger and more resilient than ever before. As we approach the final days of our grow, we pause to reflect on the significance of this moment. It's not just about harvesting buds; it's about harvesting memories—memories of late nights in the grow room, tending to our plant with unwavering dedication; memories of shared triumphs and camaraderie within the grow diaries community; memories of a journey that has forever changed us as cultivators and individuals. And so, dear friends, as we bid adieu to Week 11 and prepare to embark on the harvest, let us revel in the beauty of this moment—a celebration of growth, resilience, and the boundless wonders of nature. May our harvest be bountiful, our buds potent, and our hearts filled with gratitude for the privilege of bearing witness to the miracle of life. But wait, there's more! Before we partake in the harvest festivities, let us indulge in a special photo shoot, capturing the essence of our Epsilon F1 in all her glory. With each snapshot, we immortalize the beauty and splendor of this momentous occasion, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Join me, dear friends, as we embark on this final chapter of our Epsilon F1's journey. Until next time, happy harvesting, and may your gardens be forever green! #EpsilonF1HarvestCelebration #Week11Culmination #BotanicalOdyssey #RoyalQueenSeedsGenetics #AptusHollandNourishment #GrowDiariesCommunityStrength Genetics -Epsilon F1 @rqs_esp @royalqueenseedssp @rqsglobal Food - @aptusholland @aptus_world @aptus_es @aptus_portugal @aptusbrasil @aptusplanttechaus @aptus_thailand @aptusplanttechnz @aptususa_official LED @lumatekeu Controls - @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.agro @trolmaster.support As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life With true love comes happiness , Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #rqs #ApoloMission #MoonHarvestAdventure #playwithlego #lego #legotime #legovideo #tothemoonandback More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found Link in the profile description Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love To you All

Estou a gostar de ver as minhas queridas crescerem, esta semana baixei ligeiramente a humidade e acho que elas preferem assim. A royal gorilla 2 demorou mais a abrir as primeiras 2 folhas mas me parece saudável. A royal cheese 2 tem as pontas queimadas mas as novas folhas também me parecem saudáveis, espero que na próxima rega ganhem uma cor melhor. Desta vez esperei mais dias para regar novamente porque como a humidade muitas vezes chegava aos 80%, fez com que o solo se mantivesse húmido Ainda não utilizei os nutrientes que eu tenho da biobizz, só será a partir da 3ª semana Dia 03/07/2021 será a próxima rega com 1L para cada uma. Regas até agora: 21/06/2021 - pH 6,4 24/06/2021 - pH 6,4 27/06/2021 - pH 6,4 Fiquem com Jah e boa semana para vocês 💪

End is.coming soon. She is not the biggest and buds need to get thicker but all good. I think 2 weeks will be fine with her this is the first time to grow her but I am satisfied. Very stinky anyways. Less water now approx 200ml a day because she is quite wet.

Still stretching 🙄 but I think she's almost done! I will say, she's exactly the shape I was after, and that main cola is going to be my biggest indoor cola for sure. Exciting times ahead!

If you are lonely when you are alone, then you are in bad company. Bee pollen is considered a “vitamin bomb” due to the presence of almost all vitamins with an average of 0.02–0.7% of its total content, with a higher amount of water-soluble than fat-soluble vitamins. Bee pollen contains vitamins A, D, E, B1, B2, B6, and C. It also provides minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, iron, and selenium, I mixed a bunch of that with some honey and RAW cane molasses to make a nice big bucket of tea. A family friend who is a beekeeper was kind enough to share some honey. The nutritional content of raw honey is impressive and includes high levels of protein, amino acids, B vitamins, calcium, manganese, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and iron, as well as various polyphenolic antioxidants. I am loading up nature's finest sugars, and sweet things, Honey & Mollases. UV-B-induced DNA damage (CPDs and 6–4 PPs) can be repaired efficiently by photolyases. Pyrimidine dimers can be repaired by nucleotide excision repair (NER), or bypassed by replicative polymerases (Britt 2004). The expression of the CPD photolyase (PHR) gene is induced by UV-B light dependent on UVR8 signaling pathway, and is also induced by blue and UV-A light (Li et al. 2015) https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s44154-022-00076-9?fromPaywallRec=true Old but gold. The camera picks up far more light than there is during the night cycle, camera is showing bright pink violet collages but my eyes barely see a thing, about 0.25ppfd in that tent overnight. Have been tweaking the spectrum of moonlight/intensity and watching the responses overnight. Tweak, tweak, tweak all week. PAR is 400-700nm, Overnight UVA in the tent is all 365nm and 385nm, so the meter only picks up a fraction of the light curve that makes it photosynthetically active past 400nm. Of the light in the tent, 0.25ppfd is from UVA Looks like It makes them 🕺 🕺 💃 all night. Better flower soon or ill be screwed for space, they are stretching, but is it "the stretch"? She has fire in her belly. Growing crops with insufficient light (i.e., below “optimal,” as defined here) limits the yield potential, which in turn wastes the other production inputs including labour, water, nutrients and electricity. As lighting fixture is one of the most expensive investment of the production, what is the relationship between light intensity and yield? Potter and Duncombe (2012) grew cannabis plants with varying canopy-level PPFDs during the flowering stage and found that increasing PPFD from 400 to 900 μmol·m−2·s−1 increased yield an average of 1.3 times higher, across seven cultivars, with no light intensity treatment effects on floral cannabinoid concentrations. Vanhove et al. (2011) found that cannabis yields were 1.3 to 3.1 times higher (depending on cultivar) when plants were grown under approximately 1000 μmol·m−2·s−1 compared to approximately 450 μmol·m−2·s−1 during the flowering stage.It was predicted that cannabis yield would exhibit a saturating response to increasing Light intensity, thereby signifying an optimum light intensity range for indoor cannabis production. However, a new research from Morrison (2021), after 81 days‘ experiment, found that When plants grew under LI ranging from 1200 to 1800 μmol·m–2·s–1 provided by light emitting diodes (LEDs), inflorescence yield increased linearly as LI increased up to 1800 μmol·m–2·s–1. "Cannabis will not stop flowering if the lights are turned on for a few minutes once or twice during the 2-month-long flowering cycle. If a light is turned on for 5 to 30 minutes—long enough to disrupt the dark period—on 3 to 5 con­secutive nights, plants will start to revert to vegetative growth." "Less than one half of one foot-candle of light (0.1ppfd) from sunlight will prevent cannabis from flow­ering. That is a little more light than is reflected by a full moon on a clear night. Well-bred indica-dominant plants will revert within three days. Sativa-dominant plants take four to five days to revert to vegetative growth. Once they start to revegetate, it can take from four to six ad­ditional weeks to induce flowering again!" Guess ill find out my answer soon.
