This baby actually snuck up on me being the first of 4 plants on my patio to be ready for harvest using trichomes as my guide. It took me roughly 4 hours to take the entire plant down and wash it and get her ready for drying. A bit longer than I expected since there's a fair bit of space between the nodes and it was fairly easy to pluck fan leaves. Been very hot and dry lately... although we are expecting our first precipitation since spring on Monday so it's not a bad time to get some harvesting out of the way. It will be a few days before this stuff is dry enough to process further, but I plan to give the dry trimmer another go. After further processing we can add in some weights. September 19 > I'm surprised that it's taken this long for this baby to dry to this point - but it's been a weird week with two bouts of precipitation that we don't normally see. Slow is better - but I have a load of herb stacked up behind this. Fortunately... what we call indian summer conditions are about to prevail drying things out further. I'm surprised how tasty my initial tastes of this strain came in... normally I wouldn't even consider tasting something this young, but after initial tests I'm sure I'm a gonna like this stuff. I had to de-bud the C&C completely to make room for Northern Lights which needs to come down tomorrow... probably followed another half week by Amnesia #2, and then there is Purple Berry Kush bringing up the rear guard. Gonna be a busy next couple weeks. Started trimming on September 23 and finished the next day. Final bud weight comes in at 269 grams for one plant (9.5 ounces). The bud size is not tremendous but the yield was substantial and will keep me and my friends rolling in CBD until next summer. I would have to say this stuff did not dry as fast as I'm used to for herb that I've washed after harvest. Initial dry seems to be around 50%. Lower than I like but I was trying to dry the herb out for use with the Dry Trimmer... but I'd have to say the trimmer still isn't performing up to expectations. I used the maximum number of rotations/spins and really tried to beat the herb up but she won the fight. I still spent somewhere between 5-6 hours trimming by hand after that fight. I couldn't really wait any longer for the C&C to dry further because I have other trees coming in behind her and I need the space. The amount of shake/trim generated using the Trim Bag was about 65 grams - the amount from my hand trimming was 3x that easy. Off to wrestle with Northern Lights... Amnesia 7 comes down at dawn. Busy time of year... but what would you rather be doing...? ✊ 😬

Today 7/30/19, day 57 and the start of week 9. I'm still continuing to alternate between days with my pesticide treatment (especially after finding that bug living on one of hulkberries fan leaf) and thrive alive green daily foliage spray as a prophylactic solution against any possible pests or mold going into these last few dog days of veg. I will flush them with distilled ph'd water for two days this weekend in preparation for flower. Then I'll start them on some "flower fuel" bloom booster on top of my secret for success flower recipe at 1/4 of the recommended strength. Outside of that still no adverse issue to report for the end of the 8th week. After my last trim, they both have responded very nicely, I was kind of worried about fat banana stalled growth. But one thing I noticed when I topped her at the 6th node, yes the main stem stopped growing but it developed many bud sites up and down every stem. Whereas hulkberry was topped at the 8th node, she has mainly focused on developing long stems and only 2 or 3 bud sites along her stems. Even though hulkberry in structure, is much bigger than fat banana and has a way bigger root system. Fat banana is bushier and has developed way more bud sites than hulkberry. I can't tell which strain will yield the most at this point only time will tell! Also, a big shout out to "J"@RQS, thank you for the excellent customer service. Another reason why Royal Queen Seeds is top 3 in breeding!!

Just waiting on one last pgc

A lot of problems with run off PH It drove me crazy, and i gave up Now is aprox 6.5 and i will see how it will go

Flushed and chopped down!! Vert impressed with the Futur vert flora max series led’s killer quality killer yield

Buds just keep getting bigger and bigger!! I think they need atleast 2 weeks more, so i gave them 1 week more pk booster and i want to try and give GHE ripen for late flowering next week. Going to flush them when i think they are as good as ready to chop, till they yellow and hopefully get purple :) Cya next week!

smell is strong now. sour 76 has a range of citrus, number 1 is lemon dominated with fuel scent underneath. number 2 has a smell super similar to tangie! seeing sour 76 parent is cali sour d (cali orange x sour d x mexican sativa) cross to 76 afghan it makes sense to me it has reminiscent smell to tangie (cali orange x skunk 1 [mexican sativa x afghan indica x colombian sativa]) very similar parent lineages there! havin smoke test both, sour 76 is much more heavy handed high! plants finish at 66 days this run. at this point I gave last main feeds before tapering nutes back lower for week 8 and then flush week 9

So after further review I found that the Big Bang is an auto that REQUIRES a dark period throughout its flowering stage and doesn’t do well under 24 hours of light🤦‍♂️🏾She lost almost every leaf she had but her branches are still strong and she’s trying to survive. I’m not too worried about it, I can always give it another run. As far as the crystal candy I’m contemplating on cutting a single branch now while the terpenes are cloudy and then cutting the rest when Amber just to experience the difference in high first hand.

They're super happy adjusting to the new tent and 5 gallon containers. It's been 2 weeks since I first moved them in here and so I flipped them today. So 3 weeks from now we should be seeing buds :) I also raised the light about 10-12 cm to hopefully encourage more vertical growth. I plan on lollipopping them in about a week or so, too. Cover crop is sprouting so that's a great sign also.

February 20, 2019 update: The good news is the babies are all growing, the not so good news is there seems to be a slight bug infestation. Since taking these pics and video I have sprayed them with a mild Neem Oil & Water mix (about 20:1), hoping that helps. The MediKush are doing great with some beautiful tight nodes.

Week 8: Flourishing in Week 4 of Flowering! Greetings, fellow cultivators! Prepare to be dazzled as we embark on a journey through the enchanted realm of our beloved Epsilon F1. In this week's installment, we witness the culmination of four weeks of flowering, a spectacle of botanical brilliance that leaves us in awe. Our Epsilon F1, like a celestial goddess, continues to captivate with her unparalleled beauty and grace. Each day brings new wonders as she flourishes under the tender care of her devoted grower. The once delicate buds have now swelled into majestic colas, adorned with a blanket of trichomes that glisten like a galaxy of stars against the night sky. But let us not overlook the journey that has brought us to this moment of splendor. From the humble beginnings of a tiny seed, our Epsilon F1 has weathered the trials and tribulations of growth with unwavering resilience. With each passing week, she has unfolded her true potential, reaching ever closer to botanical perfection. As we gaze upon her now, we are reminded of the magic that lies within the cannabis plant – a medicine that heals both body and soul, a gift from nature to be cherished and revered. With each puff, we are transported to a realm of tranquility and euphoria, where worries fade and serenity reigns supreme. But let us not forget the hands that tend to this earthly paradise. To Royal Queen Seeds, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for bestowing upon us the genetic marvel that is the Epsilon F1. To Aptus Holland, our steadfast companion on this journey, whose nutrients have nourished our plant from seedling to harvest. And to the grow diaries community, whose support and camaraderie have made this journey all the more rewarding. Ah, but there's a twist in our tale! As our Epsilon F1 enters this crucial phase of flowering, we've made a strategic adjustment to her nutrient regimen. We've stopped the addition of phosphorus (P) and increased potassium (K). Why, you ask? Because at this stage, our plant's demand for potassium is at its peak. Potassium plays a vital role in flower development, improving bud formation, density, and overall quality. By prioritizing potassium over phosphorus, we're ensuring that our Epsilon F1 receives the nutrients she needs to produce those big, frosty buds we all dream of. As we bid adieu to Week 8 and look ahead to the weeks to come, let us revel in the splendor of our Epsilon F1's flowering phase. May her beauty continue to inspire and her harvest be abundant. Until next time, happy growing, dear friends! #EpsilonF1FlowerPower #Week8FloralFantasy #BotanicalBrilliance #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 LES @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

First day of chop! and my dry room stinks like fresh wild garlic. I think she's around 500-750 grams in weight, i don't own big scales so couldn't really check. The grow could of been better but around week 5 I had a serious accident so I've had my friend look after my girls so couldn't really train and take off useless popcorn so she looks very airy to me but packed in crystal. I'll update once dry.

18.01.2024 Tag 79 - Woche 12 / Tag 2 Licht: 40cm – 90% Lichtzyklus: 12/12 Luftfeuchte: 55% Temperatur: 26°C VPD: 1,5 kPa Höhe: Apple Fritter - 45cm Purple Punch - 65cm Gelato - 75cm Bemerkungen: Miss Purple Punch wird jetzt unten ziemlich gelb. Ansonsten sieht sie hervorragend aus. Ich weiß noch nicht, ob es einfach nur Nature oder ein tatsächlicher Mangel ist. Ich beobachte noch und gieße am Wochenende einen Komposttee. Wir werden sehen und es bleibt spannend. Lady Apple Fritter: absolut herausragend die Dame. Die hat einfach keine Probleme und macht ihr Ding großartig! Ich weiß jetzt schon: die werde ich wieder growen. Madame Gelato: unverändert. Steht da wie eine Diva und lässt sich nicht locken. Sie ist nach wie vor weit hinter den Anderen zurück oder braucht einfach nur länger. Kann nur für die Qualität der Buds sprechen… denn das werden definitiv die Größten und Dicksten von den Dreien. Wir werden sehen, wie sie sich weiterentwickelt. ############################################################################################################################################################## 20.01.2024 Tag 81 - Woche 12 / Tag 4 Licht: 40cm – 90% Lichtzyklus: 12/12 Luftfeuchte: 55% Temperatur: 26°C VPD: 1,5 kPa Ich hab die letzten 24 Stunden einen Komposttee, vor allem für die Gelato und Purple Punch, gebraut. - 5 Liter chlorfreies Wasser - 100g Wurm Kompost - etwas Great White Mykorrhiza - das Ganze 24 Stunden lang aktiv belüften (siehe Video) Ich verspreche mir davon, dass einige Nährstoffdefizite an der Purple Punch noch ausgeglichen werden können, vor allem aber, dass es die Gelato nochmal richtig pusht. Der Komposttee wird 1:1 verdünnt mit chlorfreiem Wasser gegossen. Terp 💪😎

Olin 4päivää poissa niin Jack herer on pullistunut ja lsd ovat venyneet mielestäni todella hyvin jos jollain jotain neuvoja olis kiva kuulla

This is the beggining of the fourth flowering week. Not hurry at all. Just moved out from my not so private apartment and this is the first 5 days of her inside of a wardrobe, which is fantastic showing those results. I have much time to wait and Im not hurry at all. Expecting to have at least 6 weeks more blooming. 07/04 - Total of 88 days old. Fed her today with 1/3 of 4-14-8 fert. She's showing good Healthy, like she wants more of everything (Light, fert, water, CO2). Intending to let her blooming 60 days more. (8 weeks).

1.4. Buds fatening up, looking good. 34DLI 8.4. Had some problems around, not with plants. I have to discard them, it’s tearing my hearth but it’s what it is.

Week 13 : This wraps up the last week of flush for the biotabs, they got 2.5 ml/L of humic acid each feed 3x 4 pints this week. These have a real funky smell to them, cant really put my finger on it, kinda plant musty, really strong smell, maybe skunky or something, main thing is they're getting the chop soon ! Clipped a fair few leaves but the idea is a dry trim and hanging the plants whole for 10-12 days of slow drying before the cure. Man i cant wait to wrap this grow up ! These kinda grew crowded, i can tell because the biotabs and mrB's have a few branches that are anemic, small, useless, so they're all gonna go into the bubble hash, let's see if i can extract anything from these beauties ! wish me luck 🚀

Used real growers recharge for the first time as directed with RO water Day 13 first watering with RO water ph to 6.3
