Producing buds nicely this week - despite it being more susceptible to light burn than the other pheno. I had a similar plant but in auto form that went from green to yellow over night. It is just the genes. It looks sick but that's how it actually grows, I've learnt to accept the fan leaves don't stay looking green and lush for long from this pheno. It is still producing goods non the less! Happy growing 🌱💚

They got moved into the 4x4 with the jimmy rigged 180w quantum board light built from ceiling tile grid. The tnb co2 is newish but I gotta get the heat up and bring in a more powerful light to take full advantage.

My overall impressions of this strain from MSNL: Ive noticed that MSNL genetics tend to switch to flower earlier than all the ther autos i've grown. The initial growth on the plant starts out small going into flowering but then it starts to explode in growth. Because of the fast flip I start my feed at week 3, I used the full NFTG advanced feed, but only at 1/2 the recommended amounts of the early veg schedule they made. This plan of attack worked out well with these plants and by week 5 they could handle the full Nute schedule. A proper flush was needed at-least twice a week during the flowering period. It is a lot of work to maintain PH and soil PPM but its essential with the NFTG and if you do it right you WILL get rewarded with Danky goodness. I did the same exact training for each of these plants but right off the bat it was clear I had two very different phenos. Plant A grew very compact with extremely tight node spacing and barely getting to a foot in height by flowering. She was kind of tricky to train initially but I was successful at LST and light defoliation and that was pretty much the extent of the training she had. She grew to be short, stout, and plump AF with way frostier trichomes then her sister. Plant B was real easy to LST because she grew with a very wide open body type to begin with, the polar opposite of Plant A to be frank 😂. I was able to shape her easily and It seemed very successful due to the sure size of her buds ! I had close to 10 main colas on her that ranged from 6-10 inches long and she started to tilt over cuz of the weight towards the very end 😅 Overall I would definitely recommend using LST to some extent with these genetics because of the small initial growth you get at first. Start the nutes sooner than later. maybe week 3, but at half the strength. Feeding the soil would be a good idea right from the get go. Mammoth P is a cool microbe that targets phosphorus directly and recharge will slam pack your substrate with beneficial microbes and ive noticed a very clear difference after incorporating these into my NFTG feed. Another thing I did that seemed to help was weekly epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) sprays on top of my bloom khaos foliar sprays. I didn't deal with any deficiencies at all this time around following this feeding regiment 👌I also didn't notice any popcorn nugs on any of my stalks and I contribute that to my feeding schedule and the Spider Farmer SF2000 202W qb , that thing seriously blew these plants up! would recommend 100% !! Dubes~ *UPDATES* March 1st- I removed the two GDPS from 32 hours of darkness and chopped branches to hang and dry. Plant B had a wet weight of 19.9 oz! while Plant A finished at 12.1 oz wet(this is with branches and leaves still on obviously). Im attempting hang drying for the first time because my drying conditions will work better with this method. Im using my flower tent with the inline fan/charcoal filter for air circulation. Also gives me the ability to dry in complete darkness. March 7th-Trimmed both plants today after hanging for 5 days at 40%RH 62-68F. Plant A yielded 1.9 oz (54 grams) dry and Plant B yielded 3.5 oz (98 grams) so a grand total of 152 grams !! March 14th(1 week of cure/burping)- flavor update 1 week in of curing .. Pheno B is putting out huge diesel and berry aromas almost a little herby but mostly berries/diesel . Flavor is nice with hints of incense , berries, and diesel .. really good joint smoking week. Pheno A is completely different Than B , I do not get any diesel / berry smells at all its more of a fresh pine / herby smell. Im more keen for Pheno Bs smell because its more pungent and stands out a lot more but they both make excellent smokes and get me super stoned! March 20th(2 weeks of cure) - Yup this stuff is great. I love rolling Js with this shit because it gets me right where I need to be without needing any more. I can't believe how dense I got these nugs to be compared to my last run. I incorporated c02 into this grow half way through so maybe that helped achieve the density but one small nug fills my grinder up with fluffy danky bud!! Match 31st- (4 weeks of cure) - Both phenotypes ended up fantastically dense. One little nug fills the grinder 100% I would say this is the perfect smoke for anxiety and relation. The green pheno didnt have a berry flavor at first but the berries definitely come out. Both phenos have different aromas but similar tastes for sure. im still undecided on which pheno I like more. The purple one stacked up huge colas and out weighed the green pheno but the terps on the green pheno are way more pronounced and I even think the high is a little more intense. April 7th- (5 weeks of cure)- The money spot. all this weed is premium quality compared to my friends "street purchase" bud. I am giving this away to multiple friends and I can't get them to stop bothering me for more haha. Definitely a great relaxation aid and sleepy time medicine if that's what you need, seems like most ppl need their night smoke before bed these days so this is the strain they need! 100%

budding up nicely now. One pheno looks to be growing different bud formations and is much more frosty. O stupidly didn't take a cut of this in veg so I've taken a flower cut to reveg and try monstercropping.

We are staring week 4 of flower! Currently at Day 22 and feeling good. The plant is still getting watered every other day and honestly looks great. Looking forward to seeing when this guys starts getting into deep flower. This week, we doubled the feed to 2 tbsps of the Flower girl. I also have her about 2 tsp of the kelp meal. I think this will be 1 of 2 kelp meal feedings. Going forward we'll be doing some compost tea now and then to support flower and increase the brix of these flowers. Cheers until next time -DJ Sunstone

recovering from heart surgery, wanted to switch last weekend but was still in hospital. switched 0n 04/12 to flower. doing what i can when I can and with some luck all will work out

(Log date week 7, day 49) So this week was a mixed bag, Tuesday started off with me finding a spider web on one of the lower fan leaves on my Hulkberry plant and noticed some bite marks on some of Fat Banana. In my haste to give rid of the spider mites, i caused some minor wind damage to some of the fan leaves on Hulkberry which caused some copper spotting and a stunted Fat banana cola. After i correctly treated both plants for spider mites and wind damage, they both bounced back and started to recover quite nicely. I also noticed a difference between topping these plants at different times; i topped fat banana when it had 4 cola's but i waited until hulkberry's roots reached to the bottom of my 5gal bucket and she had 8 cola's. A BIG difference in their recovery and overall structure, where fat banana jump out the gate with explosive veg growth and hulkberry struggled for two weeks just to develop it's first set of fan leaves. To now whereas hulkberry is much bigger, greener and bushier than fat banana. Hulkberry has responded much better to the additional stress whereas fat banana has struggled or stalled due to the stressful conditions. All in all wasn't too bad of a week, except for the power going out for a couple of hours on Saturday which raised my grow-room temperature to 90f, i was able to put out a couple of fires this week without any adverse long term effects. I also topped hulkberry on the last day of the week and I'm going to continue to feed them Technfloa at the full recommended strength since they have both responded very well to last week's formula. as always my pic are in chronological order Mr. O.G.T

This girl smells great. Cant wait for her to dry and cure

This week I noticed that the plant is struggling with the amount of nutrients that I had supplied it with and decided to dial back on them to give her a chance to consume as much as possible. She is growing strong and looks like she will be done soon, she should possibly take another 2 or 3 weeks before getting the chop, I may let her consume herself instead of pouring more nutrients, thinking of starting to add GHE Ripen to get her finishing faster.

Day 66 : Continue the juices on NL because her trichomes are 50-50 milky cloudy. She is flowering very well and is like breeders photo. Each bud is like sprouting. She creates seed pockets and these pockets explode with pistils. Its amazing. Breeder suggests to leave her flower for 45-50 days. Until now she flower for 38 days , so yeh 12 remains for sure. I added Calcium because she needs it. Edit Day 70 : I watered her with juices because she stills produces new trichomes. She also started to purple her buds. Her colas are so beautiful. We don't see buds like this every day.

From this point on, the plants of my two active diaries will be together in the grow with a 12x12 photo period. So I'll put the same photos in both diaries.

Hello growmies! Welcome to week four of An Epsilon Adventure! The girls are already transitioning into flower, I will get some photos of that later in the week. Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow. Daily Updates: ### Week 4 Day 1 11:00 16/7 Removed some lower growth. ### Week 4 Day 2 23:00 17/7 Tallest plants were showing signs of heat stress so I have raised the light about 30cm more. Unfortunately this now means the lower plants aren't getting as much light as they could, so I have put the cycle back to 20h (I may even increase it). ### Week 4 Day 3 14:00 18/7 Photographed. ### Week 4 Day 3 19:00 18/7 Fertigated 2l. Okay these girls are now starting to concern me a little on the basis that they are supposed to grow to "50-70cm". At just over 3 weeks old the shortest of these girls is 53cm, the tallest (plant 3) is now 76cm tall. The worrying thing is they do not at all look like they are slowing down and as they are just pre-flowering now, the flowering stretch hasn't even started. So I need some genuine advice here now: Do I keep the faith and hope that they don't exceed the space I have? Do I top or super crop them now? These ladies are beastly, at the end of the week I am going to take some individual videos and more photos to really try and capture how magnificently well these girls are doing. I think I may be in the process of growing the biggest Epsilon F1's so far? Exciting to find out! ### Week 4 Day 4 21:00 19/7 James has assured me they wont go much more than 85 so I am not going to mess with them. They are due a defoliation at the end of this week though. Measured each plant as follows: Plant 1: 81cm Plant 2: 75cm Plant 3: 80cm Plant 4: 67cm Plant 5: 59cm Plant 6: 58cm Might photograph later or leave until tomorrow. ### Week 4 Day 5 10:00 20/7 Photographed and measured. Plant 1: 85cm Plant 2: 79cm Plant 3: 81cm Plant 4: 71cm Plant 5: 63cm Plant 6: 63cm So they've all grown about 4cm in about 13 hours, except plant 3 - which seems to have slowed down a lot. The top of plant 3 is also the most advanced looking in terms of pistils. I forgot to take close ups of the preflowers I will do that tomorrow. I have had to raise the light again today and it is now much further away than the younger plants than I would like. So I am thinking about adding a 300w LED into my 4x4. I have another 3 inches I can raise the light on the hangers, after that I can removed the adjustable handers and tie it to the top of the tent... that'll gain me another 4 or 5 inches. If I need to go higher my only option would be to set them up without the tent which is not an option right now. Hopefully they all just stop getting taller now and focus on flowering... but my gut tells me there's more growth to come. Watch this space! ### Week 4 Day 6 15:00 21/7 Measured. Average 10cm growth 29 hours. 😳😳😲 Plant 1: 96cm Plant 2: 89cm Plant 3: 88cm Plant 4: 81cm Plant 5: 73cm Plant 6: 72cm ### Week 4 Day 6 23:00 21/7 Defoliated. Only photographed plants 1 and 2 individually as I was short on time. Some lovely pics though! ### Week 4 Day 7 15:00 22/7 Fertigated. 2l Will photograph and measure later when they've had 24h since training. ### Week 4 Day 7 23:00 22/7 Photographed and measured: Plant 1: 102cm Plant 2: 93cm Plant 3: 89cm Plant 4: 85cm Plant 5: 76cm Plant 6: 75cm Well here we are at the end of week 4 and I am quite shocked by the growth of these girls. This strain averages 50-70cm in height. We have six plants here and every one of them is taller than the average... but would you just look at plant 1? She is a giant! 102cm!! Where will she stop? Next week will see the full transition to flower and we will start to see the bud sites developing. I have no idea at this point what the heights will look like at the end of next week. This is sort of new territory really, they weren't meant to get this big! --- 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 ==========

30-06-2020 defoliation preparation for flowering . Today i defoliate and clean them up good. looking for just toops. Any tips or comments are aprecviated and i will respond asap. Stay safe , Peace out D

What a fun experience! This was my first time trying a mixed grow style of synthetics and organic. I think I may have found my new go-to strategy. This definitely wasn't a perfect run by any means - as a matter of fact, I botched the feedings earlier in her life. However this grow definitely taught me a lot more about how to treat this strain properly. Now I'm running her clones in the 3x3x6. So the legacy will continue! Let's see how this strain does during the summer months! Cheers everyone! This has been an awesome grow. What I'm lacking in yield, I yet again make up for in quality. And I don't think yield will be an issue with the clones, they're week 6 veg - and quite massive! - RWI out!! 😁 😶‍🌫️🤑

Looks ok

Day 58 : She is fattening her buds very much. CO2 stopped for all ladies. As you can see trichomes still are in cloudy period. So she needs couple weeks for sure. Edit (Day 62) : I watered again with nutrients. She is the most stinky lady in room and the most heavy. Looking forward for her.
