Greetings, fellow cultivators and green thumbs! Today, I'm thrilled to share the exciting journey of germinating the Epsilon F1 from the generous folks at Royal Queen Seeds. Buckle up, my friends, because we're diving deep into the art and science of bringing this beauty to life. Step one, the initiation ceremony: I submerged our precious seed in a water bath for a luxurious 24-hour spa session. Why, you ask? Well, it's all about hydration, my friends. This ritual kickstarts the awakening process, encouraging the seed to absorb moisture and activate those dormant life forces within. Now, onto the VIP treatment — the Soil Plug sponge. Picture this: a cozy, nutrient-rich haven where our Epsilon F1 can stretch its roots and prepare for its grand entrance. I carefully placed the seed into the sponge, and lo and behold, within a mere 24 hours, a tiny tail emerged. It's like witnessing nature's own magic show, right in my grow space! And then, the big reveal! Our little Epsilon F1 burst forth, ready to conquer the world. It's like welcoming a new member to the family, complete with cheers and applause. But wait, there's more! I've chosen to dance with Aptus Holland nutrients, my trusted sponsor and the organic mineral line that has never let me down. Because, you see, a plant's gotta eat, and I'm only serving the best. Now, let's take a moment for the traditional shout-outs. Big love to @James and Royal Queen Seeds for the Epsilon F1 hookup; this journey wouldn't be possible without you. Cheers to Grow Diaries for being the virtual garden where we share our victories and lessons. And of course, mad love to all my followers — your support is the wind beneath my plant's leaves. So there you have it, folks. The Epsilon F1 is awake, the nutrients are ready, and the adventure has just begun. Stay tuned for more updates, as we watch this green marvel blossom into something truly spectacular. Happy growing, and may your harvests be bountiful! As always thank you all for stopping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics - RQS EPSILON F1 Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

Amazing told this run 110 grams of bud and 80 grams of shake. An amazing pungent fruity citrus cream cheese aroma eminates out of my cure vault. The high has been described by my friends as a creative uplifting high followed by intense couch lock. The grow itself was a breeze. The only real issues i had in the hydro grow was that i needed to to add cal mag because it was growing so fast and i was using distilled water. I basically did not train my plants other than defoliating to make space for air flow and light penetration. I would recommend this for any first time hydro grower that has a decent amount of space.

Week 9 (27-3 to 2-4) 27-3 Temperature: 25 degrees (lights on) 18.9 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 63% (highest) 55% (lowest) Added 15L to the reservoir. 28-3 Temperature: 25.1 degrees (lights on) 18.5 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 64% (highest) 56% (lowest) 29-3 Temperature: 27.2 degrees (lights on) 19.4 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 67% (highest) 48% (lowest) 30-3 Temperature: 25.3 degrees (lights on) 20.5 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 65% (highest) 54% (lowest) 31-3 Temperature: 25.8 degrees (lights on) 20.8 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 62% (highest) 56% (lowest) Today i decided to turn of the reservoir/autopots. I think the plants are overwatered, and because of that probably have light stress and other problems. Also, it can be that i underfeeded them, and that the PH was too high. I turned the light down to 40% strength aswell. 1-4 Temperature: 23.6 degrees (lights on) 20.6 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 62% (highest) 57% (lowest) 2-4 Temperature: 22.6 degrees (lights on) 19.8 degrees (lights off) Humidity: 62% (highest) 56% (lowest) No pictures.

Se empezó con lavado de raíces a 4 de las plantas, esto con florakleen de GH y agua pura. Dos de las plantas siguen con nutriente, aún siguen engordando. Las plantas tienen muy buen aroma y están pegajosas. La planta con manchas en la hojas y que además se quemó con el pk1314, sorpresivamente ha duplicado de tamaño las flores. Se volvió a cambiar la lámpara y se puso una de la mitad de potencia. - Luz: Bestva Pro 1000W / 18 h/d -FloraNova Bloom G.Hydroponics: 0.7ml/l - Bio Bud G. Hydroponics 2.5ml/l - Armour SI G. Hydroponics 0.4ml/l - C4 Mills 1ml/l - Everest: 0.5 ml/l - Florakleen G. Hydroponics

Hey guys, this other week went very cool, I start reducing the nuts to the minimum and I can see really how fattening are the buds. Now I can see some pretty milky trichomes, and just few cloudy, so I consider to chop in max 2 full weeks... (71 total days from seed) but anyway I'll adapt to how the plant is at that time. The smell it's absolutely, insanely strong and ill need to buy ASAP a carbon filter to reduce it. The only issue encountered in this grow was keeping low the humidity, and in fact I was not really able to do so as it stands at 55-65...but without noticing any mold issue on flowers. Can wait to update this post next week! Stay tuned, stay high!

Well, this grow has come to an end. I have mixed feelings about that, as I enjoyed the journey, but at the same time I can't wait to try this stuff. 😁 Man, I knew from the start it was likely I was going to get addicted to opium. 😶 But hey, what the hell, I gotta know. She was a bit of a job to trim, many breaks to clean the scissors, but me and my grow neighbor plus another bro got her done in about 3.5 hours. She's hanging pretty in the infamous spare bedroom and I can't wait for her to dry up and go into the Grove bags for a cure. Of course, strictly for quality control purposes, a sample will be tested by our expert panel of esteemed judges prior to the cure. SMOKE REPORT Well, the results are in! And it was unanimous I might add for the record. We have 4 esteemed judges who are now addicted to opium. I was worried that might happen, and my worries were well founded apparently. First, let me go over the rigorous requirements our judges faced in making our decision. Aroma? Check. Flavor? Check. Stoniness Factor? Are two checks allowed? Yield? Check. Ease of grow? Check. The opium produced a very nice earthy and dank flavor. The aftertaste after indulging has a sweet undertone to it, very nice! This is a fairly strong strain, definitely couch-lock. Buy oh so tasty, love it! I will be growing it again, and soon. This one’s a winner.

Day 64 my baby is going really well by now, she s been running fast until now and I think that’s enough with fertiliser. From today o start my flush, I will give today my last dose of regulator and from next irrigation just on controlled water until the end of maturation, I want this baby to eat everything . day 65 started flushing. ph controlled water at 6.0 i think 20 more days at max before m Day 68 First check with micro today. The baby looks already milky and amber on the top buds but the rest of the plant is still transparent. I’ll wait at least until this weekend for a re check maybe I’ll cut her in two rounds. As I be been watching a lot with micro I noticed so many dust and other stuff on the buds so I think I’ll wash her in water. Today watered ph 6. Let’s see! 🌱🔥🌱🔥🌱🔥🔥

Tapering nutes off for the flush. Also added a small amount of Barley as a top dress to help her finish off.

2/15: Bud sites are really starting to thicken up. I think she's going to have to fat buds on her in the future. Gave a pH balanced flush today and rotated her in the tent. 2/19: Unsure if I have a light burn situation or a nutrient situation. Opted for another pH balanced rinse in lieu of nutes. Unfortunately I can't raise my light any higher. Will monitor..

This strain was a hell of a time. From the beginning when I had no idea if this genetic was even going to make it... Now we have 4.5 ounces in our hands from a bad ass grow. I would call this a success story hahah. Can't wait to start my next grow!!!

Bueno , este es el segundo cultivo que realizó del la cepa "Waka" , el anterior lo tengo igualmente documentado en otro diario . en esta ocasión cultivamos los clones que habíamos recolectado del cultivo pasado , guardando los fenotipos que nos gustaron más y los clones restantes los pasamos a floración que fueron los que se le hizo seguimiento en este diario. El crecimiento fue bastante explosivo y reaccionaron muy bien a cada trasplante realizado . pude observar que los clones de cada fenotipo seleccionado se desarrolló con mucha similitud al de sus madres . El olor en vegetación es bastante discreto y en floración se pone un más intenso El desarrollo en floración fue explosivo generando bastante resina y se vieron muy hambientras . Al fumar se puede sentir un rico toque cítrico en las N° 4 se siente un fuerte sabor a limón en algunas flores mucho mas marcado que en otras, N° 3 y 13 un agradable toque a naranjas muy rico de sentir en el paladar , La N° 8 con pizcas dulces bastante interesantes. El humo al fumar es muy suave lo que permite sentir mejor el sabor de cada fenotipo.- saludos y buenos humos😉 Al momento de cosechar se cortaron los clone y se dejo secando en oscuridad a temperatura ambiente por cerca de 16 días posterior a eso se pasó a curar en frascos
