01/26 No pictures this week because I'm doing multiple days of time lapse photos. Next week should have some yummy vids and photos. Plants have been doing well. Topped all of the plants between 01/20-01/23, except Berry, which will get topped tonight. Berry has had a very strong rebound. Still very pale in comparison, but is showing strong vertical growth. Vigorous growth of lateral shoots in most plants except for one of the WW. (iirc, it's WW 3) The tallest WW with the widest node spacing has had extremely poor lateral growth, even at the topping site. Likely another 2-4 weeks before mothers will be a clone-ready, based on observed growth. I prefer DWC and haven't done soil for a very long time. It's shocking how much slower growth rate is in soil. A good thing in the long run, because pruning a mother plant in hydro is a PITA. At the same time, I want these plants to hurry up so I can toss clones into a SOG test. My plan is to take 2 clones of 4 plants and flower them all in one 14-gallon tote. 01/28 I had some issues with the timelapse because I didn't set the intervalometer correctly and it eventually went weird after running for over 36 hours and started taking pics every 5 minutes. Things have been fixed and I have add a video from 01/24. I am going to trim some fan leaves tonight and decided to flower 2 cuttings each from the two Bananas.

Hello Fellow Growers, 馃懟 Boogie on to week 2 with exceptional amount growth. Both of these girls are coming off strong. Not sure if its going well or not for my plants, but hey for the looks of it they seem to be doing just fine. Started my first LST after it grew a couple sets of leaves. I was really scared attempting the LST on the Tangerine Dream. I thought I did more of HST than LST. Keep the advice coming dudes! I haven't reached week 4 yet so I am going to continue on with the normal feed of Cali-Mag, Wholly Mack, & Big Bloom. I noticed with the Wholly Mack, it lowers my PH content down to 5.0. Is this normal with this kind of product?

Welcome to week 8! She鈥檚 still looking great and healthy. It seems that she鈥檚 still making some height but slowly also the buds getting bigger and bigger from day to day. At end of week 8 I probably have to adjust some branches to give them more light disposal and maybe doing some light defoliation. At the mid of week 8 I can see that the buds gaining weight. More and more orange pistils are showing up and she starts to smell just a bit. I鈥檓 still very happy with this strain and also with the performance of the growbox. Can鈥檛 wait to see how she鈥檚 producing nice, dense and thick buds

Topped at the end of week 2 ready to be repotted the following week. Didn't get enough pictures/ videos during earlier veg unfortunately. Moonshine Sunshine Foliar Spray - light must sprayed over plants 3x per week several hours before the lights came on.

Huge week in the tent. Lollipopping. Defoliation. Redid the LST ties. Added height to the plants to level the canopy. Added the blumats self watering setup. The tent got a total makeover. They look healthy otherwise.

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鈥攎emories 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鈥攁 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

Day 78. Just runs fine. Day 42 for Control garden. Biggest Incredible Bulk is amazing plant, very strong, should be really nice to harvest, 3 weeks veg is my shortest ever.... Thinking to leave them untouched, hope they will mature quicker, even without direct light, they grow amazing.. For now just heavy feed, reached 1100, normally 1200 is my max. Day 79. Girls are fine, plain water today. Thinking to leave Control Garden with all leaves, but despite them growing not under direct light they are 70+ cm height. Now they cause shadow and block air move... In doubts a bit... Day 83. Control garden is a lot behind and still stretching , took 12 leaves in total from 3 plants. Now second canopy will have more light, should really chop bottom branches and leaves, but maybe will do it on second defoliation round... All girls getting heavy feed 1250 ppm. Gorillas still too hungry, Cookies overfed as always... Hard grow for lazy hard stoner :)))

The gushers is a perfect indica biased specimen. She is shorter then her room mates but holds a perfect shape. Lovely vertical check not stems forming up 9 really nice mains and a few lowers that I think will push through to give some good bud.. I'm away in America doing the formula 1 so the updates are from photos and messages sent from my wife back home who is looking after the ladies.. No issues really apart from higher RH then we would like but she has gone in and defoliated a bit and things seem to have settled. I'm awa until November 1st as I'm doing the Mexico formula 1 after this.. Updates will be a little light on detail I'm afraid and images will be generic from the room.. Thanks growmies. Stay safe 馃樂 Grow well 馃尶

As week 5 came to a close and we move into week 6 of flowering, I am having really high hopes for the end result. The buds started to get some light orange hairs which is really nice and they are really starting to thicken up! Towards the end of week 5 the plants started to show early signs of burn on their leaf tips, so I started the week 6 feeding a little early. In week 6 we bring the EC down quite a bit as we get into the late stages of flower. I also recently switch to measuring with EC vs PPM for ease and accuracy. Also at the end of week 5 I did a calibration on my coco for each plant as week 6 nutrients are much lighter. Coco Calibration Method 1. Mix up nutrients. 2. Water plants as normal and measure runoff. 3. If runoff EC is not at or close to the inflow EC a. Water more and keep measuring runoff until the runoff is at or close to the inflow EC 4. Do steps 1-3 for all plants (One at a time) Tips: - I use a shop vacuum that I stick the end in the bottom of the pot saucers and leave it on while I water so it sucks the runoff as soon as it drains out the pots. Then I measure, empty and water again until I hit my targets) For this calibration, I ended up using around 6 gallons of nutrient solution. Watering technique used is to measure runoff at every watering and make sure we are staying as close as possible to the inflow EC. It does not matter how much water you need to put through the pots to get to the desired EC on runoff as that is a benefit of Coco. My main goal is to keep my runoff in check and the plants seem to do better than I have ever grown before! The smell off these ladies are amazing and strong. I don't have a carbon filter and enjoy her smells and aromas all day long as my desk is right next to my tent. There were no issues in Week 5. Plants continue to look amazing and the buds are continuing to bud up and structure very nice! I'm excited to see the end result after the ripening and flush stages. Also the colors that are soon to come! Stay tuned! ______________ We are 5 days into week 6 and the buds continue to grow fatter and fatter on a daily basis. I'm really dialing in my EC and making sure to mix it at 1.1 EC and making sure my runoff is from 1.1-1.4. I started playing with the mix as I am getting used to the grow schedule and how the base nutrients effect the EC. I have found that doing 50% of the low strength calendar hits me right at my target EC and I don't have to dilute my mixture after. The smells continue to be strong and fill my house up. The weight is starting to make the colas lean over which is nice because it's opening up the canopy to get more light in. I'm very excited to see what the buds look like in week 7 and then we are on to ripening stage, flush, and then finally harvest!!

Man what a busy week. I left for a small vacation with the family and left the plants in the care of someone and luckly everything is still alive lol. Then today I almost forgot to post my weekly diary because I was busy build my new grow office and moving all the equipment in. The room I built is where all the plants well eventually end up ones my coco and perlite arrive. The runtz themselves are both doing really good and haven't slowed down much after topping them. Roots are starting to reach the bottom of the 1 gal pots so hopefully I can transplant them I to the autopot system soon. Well happy growing!!!

Week 5 for this beautiful plants. They just got fed with Goldleaf feterlizer and I added mycos chum and cal-mag to the mix. They are doing great so far with the feeding schedule and they are stretching really good. The pre-flower is going well they are starting to grow.
