This week in my grow room has been full of developments. First, I added additional lights because I couldn't get the relative humidity (RH) under control. I ordered a dehumidifier, but it will take a few weeks to arrive, so I had to find a temporary solution. I also emptied the reservoir and refilled it with fresh water and nutrients. I secured the net to ensure it stays in place under tension. In two days, I plan to switch the light schedule to 12/12, hoping the plants will stretch a bit during the switch to avoid having overly large buds that aren't evenly spread. Seventeen hours later, I decided to keep the lights on a 16/8 schedule for a few more days. The plants are starting to show signs of something happening, so I want to see how they develop. I will keep you updated on the progress. Then, I received a message from my supplier that the dehumidifier would arrive today. Great news—time to spice things up! On June 2nd, the dehumidifier arrived, and I managed to get my Vapor Pressure Deficit (VPD) to 1.17! This is fantastic news, and I'm very curious how this will affect water usage. The dehumidifier seems pretty powerful, with water literally dripping out of the hose, so I'm no longer worried about high humidity levels. It's a shame it doesn't have a range setting, but I couldn't expect more for the price. I'm considering ordering the Dimlux Auxbox to set a working range and separate day/night settings. Thankfully, the dehumidifier has an auto-restart function after a power loss. On June 3rd, the night is over, and while my values are now more stable, I haven't noticed any significant differences in water absorption. What I do notice is that the pots seem much drier. The difference in leaf temperature compared to the room temperature has increased slightly, now about a 2˚C difference, indicating that evaporation has increased somewhat. Despite the dehumidifier cooling the air, the room temperature has risen. This is explainable since dry air heats up faster than humid air. The CO2 heater is also running significantly longer. So, although there are no immediately visible differences, there are indeed some changes. Today is the last short night of 8 hours, and tomorrow will be the first night of 12 hours. I am contemplating doing a 10-hour night first and will decide later tonight. After closely reviewing the video footage, I noticed some divergent colors on the leaves. My pH is currently 6.4, which I had adjusted to compensate for the low pH last week—a foolish decision in coco, I know. I plan to make videos of each individual plant for my records to investigate further. The light is too intense to inspect them up close, so the videos will help me get a better look.

The CBD and SAD seem to be finishing a bit quicker than the other 2, they might be ready in a week or two. I will probably drop the EC next time I fill the tank. Some of the branches with heavier top buds were starting to hang and get too close to other buds, so I used some garden wire to fasten them to the tent poles, which can be seen in the video between the 13th and 14th. Pretty uneventful week otherwise.

Maintenance week! All reservoirs, lines, and trays cleaned. EC is at 2.5 to accommodate the sheer size of the plants. This 4 x 8 tent is full! This weekend I will be cleaning and trimming all of the plants below the canopy. Lots of flower sites on these healthy plants explaining the strong smell. This week I decided to try add General Hydroponics Flora Nectar to the nutrient regiment, hoping it improves the quality of terpenes and taste. Will be starting to order new seeds in the next week or two to start the perpetual harvest I will be running a sativa, indica, and CBD mix.

March 17 - 24 Growth is still going very well with lots of LST and defoliation. Business as usual with nutrients and the Blumat system seems dialed in a I prepare to leave them unattended for 5 days in April. Near the end of the week I installed a second net.

Day 108 smelly and sticky but Buds have not hardened I bought an extra light and added aluminum foil just to see if any change, still spraying nutrients on (.5,1,1) and 10 ice cubes around the top and bottom pots

Week 8 flower, watering until the end. No more top dressing or fish shit. Just the same de chlorinated tap water, not ph’d or filtered that I’ve been using since the beginning. Comes out the tap with a ph of 7 and less than 15ppm tds. The soil takes care of everything.

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

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Flowering day 72 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey everyone :-) Today it was harvested. Despite that there was a bit of mold on the top 2 buds, it turned out to be a very nice amount :-). After the lady was in the dark for 48 hours she was trimmed by hand :-). Then the buds were put into the drying tent at 62% humidity, where they now remain for 8-12 days before they are put into the jar to ferment with 62% boveda packs. Of course, the last update will come after the fermentation and I wish you all the best until then.

The NEW fruto de la colaboración con el famoso Sherbinski, nos esperabamos una joya especial dado al alto precio y el hype que tuvo nada mas ser presentada en el Spannabis. Por desgracia nos salio un Pheno bastante vigoroso, muchas ramas pero pocos internodos, se estira mucho en flora y al no cambiar micho de color no fue nada especial para la vista. El producto final fueron cogollos esponjosos con bastante resina pero terpenos muy flojos. Terps a Cookies, cremoso dulce y un toque picante /especiado. High bastante regular. Precio/Calidad = Malo (no recomendable)

GG#4 und Runtz F1 haben LST gut vertragen. Hoffe dass sie noch mindestens 1 Woche wachsen, bevor sie automatisch in die Blüte gehen sollten. Die Babys genießen das sonnige Wetter auf dem Balkon und es wird zusätzlich mit einer Lampe (21-0Uhr) gearbeitet. Apple Fritter lasse ich normal um einen Vergleich zu den anderen zwei (LST) zu haben. Einen halben Tag später sind Apple Fritter und Runtz F1 in die Blüte gestartet. Würde mich über Kommentare und Erfahrungsaustausch freuen.

D78/FD50 - Apologies, a week late on my report. Nothing really going on with the SCP. Pistils starting to turn a peach colour so starting to ripen on the new 11/13 cycle (Still using flower initiator so they're getting equivilent of 15hrs darkness!!!). Couple of big girl colas in there but starting to worry as have had Bud Rot starting to run rife through the Cookies!!! 😠 **Update** D84/FD56 - Cookies have become a real problem...looks like a partial harvest to hopefully save the SCP. Researching some Organic/Bio-Fungicides (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens/Trichoderma Harzianum - Both in TNC TricorrP5 - Speaking to some people to see about getting a hold of some as you cant get Southern AG here or some of the Dedicated T. Harzianum fungicides like TAC3!!!) that can be applied even through to harvest (But best at start of flower as an inoculum) to outcompete the Botrytis. I am starting to think turning WIlma into a DWC is why my plants have got so big the last 2 grows (Could be the Feed, but dunno...I am thinking 24hr access to water & food has made them greedy and the good light has given them fuel!!!). Hard to contain the humidity so looks like next grow (After a decontamination session after this batch finished up) I will be vicious with Defoliation (May even got into mainlining) and find a way to get this new fan direct to the outside to strip out humid air thats getting pumped back into the room. Anyway, happy growing all!!! 💪

420FASTBUDS FBT2101 WEEK 11 Getting close for this one. Probably another week is all and I really couldn't be happier. Frosty as can be and smells like a candy store. Flowers are dense as I'd like but definitely from the looks will need a grinder to make life easier when breaking this one up. Happy Growing

Looking good so far, got a little bit of light burn at beginning of week but not to bad. Plants are really starting to shoot up now that the roots have hit the water. Topped all 4 at beginning of week 3 for LST prep. AC unit in tent is keeping it around 21 Celsius and water is keeping between 18-20 Celsius naturally so far. When the lights go up from 600w to 1000w though my tent will hit 25+ Celsius so I am currently testing a new water cooled thermoelectric peltier reservoir water cooler I built and I will be installing soon. So far testing it I can bring a 5gal bucket of water from 25 Celsius to 10 Celsius in about 6 hrs. So we will see what it can do with about 20gal of water in my set up once my lights get turned up. I will be posting pics/video once I get it all figured out. So far it’s way cheaper then a commercial water chiller and seems to work good.
