Hello growmies! Welcome to week ten of An Epsilon Adventure! Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow! I have been fertigating and also emptying the de-humidifier water into the driest looking substrate as it fills up. I have been keeping the tent door open and pushing more air through with fans. Daily Updates ### Week 10 Day 1 11:00 27/8 Photographed. ### Week 10 Day 3 17:00 29/8 Photographed. ### Week 10 Day 4 06:00 30/8 Fertigated 4l ### Week 10 Day 5 23:00 31/8 Have inspected very closely. I have had to tied up just about every branch on plant 2 as the buds are rapidly approaching peak density and the weight of them is causing all the stems to bend over. Despite not having a main cola, if I manage to harvest, dry, and cure this plant, I think it's going to exceed 100g. The highest buds are showing around 2-3% amber - I am counting the days now, this girl is very close. The harvest window is open, but I am waiting for about 10 times more amber. Interestingly. using the loupe I have discovered that plant 1 is likely to be the next to be harvested despite both plants 4 and 5 being ahead of her. She is showing early signs of fade and I am seeing about 1% amber. No fade, no amber on the other three plants. Some heat stress/damage on higher fan leaves. Not concerned, nothing do be done, the plants got too big and I am only happy to be able to keep them upright and still in the tent, even though they are higher than the light. I will take proper photos tomorrow. --- Thanks for reading growmies! 👊 ========== Tent: 120cm x 120cm x 180cm Light: 600w HID Elite Dual Spectrum HPS + Angel Wing Reflector Air: 5" duct fan system with carbon filter ~300 m3/hour + RAM 9" floor fan + 4" intake fan Pots: Air Pruner Fabric Pots 30l - UGro XL Coco + horticultural grade perlite (~20%) Seeds supplied by Royal Queen Seeds https://www.royalqueenseeds.com Nutrients supplied by Shogun Fertilisers https://www.shogunfertilisers.com/en ==========

I had so much fun learning how to grow, and how many different ways there are to grow! I love the community here!

Buds stacking up nicely. Did some overdue trimming/defoliation to help with light and airflow. They are some thirsty girls. Looks like I've got all 3 phenotypes of this strain represented: short and bushy, thin and wispy, and Original Recipe. I'm not sure which is which. Meh. I'm optimistic regardless.

Fade coming in nicely after 7 days of flush, 1 more week and these girls will be for the chop. Just took more cuttings from the mother ready for the next grow. I love Shining Silver Haze! 😋

This week was amazing guys. I literally watched the buds getting fat day by day. I am still feeding with a similar program and adding Aptus Regulator once per week to boost silica and some other minerals like molybdenum and boron. I'm flowering my plants in a hot environment with CO2 boost. PPFD is high to support these settings and thankfully my the pots aren't getting hot. No fungus gnats or any other pests, no root rot and bad smell. Everything is perfectly neat and buds are exploding. My expectations from this harvest is really high and I'll keep adding CO2 for another week. Some fellow growers asked for CO2 and PPFD measurements. I am sharing these information on this week's pictures. I got my CO2 meter fixed and I tested the CO2 PPM in different places of the canopy. Typical value for this grow tent with this CO2 setup is around 1100-1350. Temperature is fluctuating between 28-31 and the average PPFD on the bud sites is 1100 micro moles. I'm sharing CO2 measurements right under the fan, where you expect it to show the lowest value. Then I'll also share the CO2 PPM value coming out from the air pipe, which is normally attached to the grill of the fan. Direct output is now around 5500PPM and in the first two days, the meter shows 10000PPM which is the max value that it can reads. This bucket yeast CO2 reactor lasts for four days and I'm refreshing the mixture twice a week. This is huge CO2 with a fairly low cost compared to propane burners or CO2 tubes. Edit: I refreshed the CO2 bucket today and got you guys a video of the direct output. The system is outputting more than 10000PPM of CO2 and the meter can't measure it for the first two days. This CO2 method is a killer one for tent grows. Very low cost for very high CO2 concentrations. Hope these information helps. Happy growing 💪

Everything is going well for this early growth, looking forward to repotting in auto Pot and trying to have a beautiful pink phenotype!

3/13/2024 - Day 15 Flower: Ran into some issues after the last watering. The newest leaves have some severe curling going on, and I've had a few leaves with some minor brown spotting. I'm not 100% sure what caused it, but narrowed it down to either TeaCo Super Tea, Recharge, or the foliar spray I did with Dr. Zymes Eliminator. I did the foliar at lights out, but maybe there was still some residue when the light came back on. Either way, I'm taking it easy on this watering. Gave them 4 gallons of 6.5 ph water mixed with Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, Coconut Powder, and a half dose of Rootwise Bio-Catalyst and Yah-Whey. The curling does not seem ro be getting worse, so hopefully they will grow out of this. Also, they have started to slow on rhe stretching, which is good, because they are getting close to the light. 3/14/2023 - Day 16 Flower: So I've been looking at some of the more deformed leaves and I'm pretty sure the leaf curl and brown is from the Dr. Zymes. The leaves with issues appear to have a slight glossy residue to them. I'm guessing when the Dr. Zymes dried on the leaves, it had a reaction when the light came back on. Now that I'm into week 3 of flower, I plan to cut out any foliar sprays, so hopefully I'm right an the issue won't get worse. I had some seeds that I sprouted and forgot to use yesterday, so I made a 2 gallon Sprouted Seed Tea (SST) and added some Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, Rootwise Bio-Phos, and a half dose of Fermented Comfrey Extract and Fermented Peach Extract. 3/16/2023 - Day 18 Flower: plants are looking good. Flowers are starting to develop and I'm already seeing the beginning of some tricomes. Stretch appears to be just about done, so hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here. The curling from last week has not gotten any worse. 3/17/2023 - Day 19 Flower: watered about 6 gallons of worm tea I brewed for about 24 hours. Added some Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, BuildASoil BuildABloom, and Rootwise Bio-Catalyst. Also, did some minor defoliation of some of the larger fan leaves blocking lower bud sights. Still need to do more, but I plan to spread it out over a few days. 3/18/2023 - Day 20 Flower: Cleaned them all up real good. Took off all the large fan leaves, except for the top two, and cut off basically anything on the lower half of the plant. May have gone a little higher than I would have liked, now that I'm seeing it done, but too late now. Normally, i only like to take off about 1/3, but i guess we will see what happens when the bottom half is stripped. Always learning around here, haha. Hopefully I should have very little popcorn buds.

Stretch slowed and buds started popping everywhere lol... Exciting time Absolute growth happening... Everything from toe to the hair cut has a real bud happening... 0 larf... Very excited

Die Bilder sind früh am Morgen aufgenommen worden, deshalb das viele Gegenlicht. Bei dieser Hitze ist es besser die Outdoor Tätigkeiten morgens zu erledigen. Was für eine Woche; Temperaturrekorde wurden gebrochen, in meiner Region noch über 40° C. Es musste vielfach gewässert 💦werden, die Fruit Bomb Punch ließ auch ab und zu ihre Blätter hängen, jedoch gab es glücklicherweise keine Trockenschäden wie an der Blueberry die Woche zuvor. 18 cm Zuwachs trotz der Hitze und ein gleichmäßiges buschiges Wachstum ist recht passabel. Allerdings werden nun die Abstände zwischen den Pflanzen geringer, ich werde sie etwas auseinanderrücken müssen. Kein Fraß Kein Trockenschaden Kein Windbruch Keine Unterdüngung (evntl. etwas zuviel) Eigentlich langweilig... aber das Ziel ist eine gesunde Outdoor Pflanze mit gutem Ertrag. Vielen Dank für euren Besuch!

Woche 5 Letzte Woche Veggi, vorbereiten auf die Blüte.

48 days left to veg 😖😖😖 Getting close Soooooo ya, full steam ahead. 1 more week and I will transplant 2 of the RuntZ into 5 gallon containers. Hulkberry- the lateral branching is going wild now. The extra SST’s are helping in a big way. Side Note: the nutrients listed are for the Hulkberry. RuntZ Nutrients: 2-2-2 All purpose Dr Earth - 1 TBSP, a sprinkle of recharge , earth worm castings 1 TBSP

First week in water.

Última semana de mis plantitas Hoy corto 12 de 16 Fue un cultivo sin problemas. Y creo que viene buena producción Recomiendo 100% los fertilizantes hesi buenísimos. 5 cultivos con ellos y 0 problemas. El sustrato Biobizz light mix excelente Las semillas de barneys farm uff pura crema. Eva seeds recomendables y las sweed seeds buenisimas semillas para seguir cultivando. Los Led yxo para ser de un perfil bajo qué no a toda la gente les gusta cumplen la. Función 480w de pura potencia en un espacio de 120x120 los recomiendo para gente que tenga un presupuesto bajo. Ahora voy por unos sobre 600w aunque los reforzaría estos con unos led de 100w . Bueno feliz con los resultados. Esta semana mostraré los resultados de las plantas cortadas. Se vienen más cultivos Salu2

Ended up with just over and oz between the two plants in the end like I said wasn’t expecting much off the as spent 2-3 weeks on the window ledge as seedlings :( overall easy grow but hate having to use the HPS

Finally in full flower mode. Ready to start putting on some serious size. I turned the lights up to 80% a couple days ago and they both are taking it well. No light burn yet that I notice. I'm not sure if I should start bringing the lights closer at 80% or keep the distance but instead Increase power to 90%. Going to feel it out as we go. Happy so far for sure. Update: increased light to 100% . No lead burns or weird looking leaves yet.. Just bulking up and very thirsty! Doing a nutrient/nutrient/water feeding schedule now.

Hello everyone, I just finished setting up the 150x150x200cm tent and as you know it takes time to tie the wires to the poles. The 2 amnesia plants by expert seeds are on schedule and will flip one to flower within 5 days from now, i need to see roots coming out of the bottom of the pot before going into flower. The amnesia fast by advanced seeds is also doing great taking in mind she is only 5 weeks old, she will go into flower next week. The mac1 by expert seeds sits in a dwc bucket but she is doing terrible from the moment she sprouted 5 weeks ago, i have an amnesia clone from expert seeds to replace her. In the other dwc system sits a clone of the amnesia fast and the roots are developing. Thank you for reading my diary and have a nice day.

D29. EC 2.9, PPFD 750+, adjusted some branches to have more equal height. Next time I should use trellis. Noticed plants are drinking more. Pots feel pretty light at lights on. D30. Plants are happy. Auto watering has been set up but I’m still hand watering 🤔... waiting for the buds to swell. D31. EC 3.0. Starting to smell sweet and citrus. D32. EC 3.2 D33. EC 3.3 plants are responding well. Daytime temps at 78 degrees RH 55%. Nighttime temp at 73 degrees RH 55%. D35. Some pistils are turning orange. EC 3.3.

Great breeder, great strains to grow, and finished on time as advertised.
