Hello Diary, Cherry Pie has finished its last week, I harvested it two days after taking the photo. 73 days since I put the seeds in the ground. 65 days since the start of the vegetation. Really very fast. But the result is impressive as you can see in the photos. The flowers are large and dense, the branches bend slightly under their weight. The main cola is especially large and full of large flowers covered in trichomes. The flowers are very hard to the touch and sticky under the fingers, especially the flowers on the main cola. The leaves have started to turn autumn yellow which is also an indicator of its maturity. The smell is very intense at this stage, the whole room smells like plants when I open the grow box. Watering was standard, every three days. This week I stopped adding nutrients, I just lowered the p.H. to 6.0 and water the plants with clean water. After taking the photos, I left it in the grow box for two more days to drink all the water from the soil to make it easier to dry. Before cutting, I removed all the leaves from the plant to also make drying faster and have less work to trim the dried flowers. After cutting, I left it upside down in the grow box to dry. Now all that remains is to see how much it has really rewarded me. See you when that happens. Here's what the last week looked like. 19/09/2024 - Day 57. Watering. I prepared 9 liters of water, lowered the pH to 6.0 and used that amount to water all three plants on the farm. 22/09/2024 - Day 60. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier. 24/09/2024 - Day 62. I watered them all with 1.5 liters of water each plant so that they were fresh for the photo shoot. 25/09/2024 - Day 63. End of the last, 9th week since Cherry Pie began its journey. Photo shoot. 27/09/2024 - Day 65. Cherry Pie has been harvested. That's almost all from me for this diary, there is still the final report that follows after drying and testing. Thank you all once again for your support and comments.

Greetings, fellow cultivators! Welcome to the Week 7 Report on our magnificent Epsilon F1, where the journey of green greatness continues to unfold with each passing day. Prepare yourselves for a detailed and immersive exploration of our botanical wonder as we delve deep into the heart of her flourishing beauty. Let's begin with a momentous decision: the Day 21 Flower Defoliation. With careful consideration and a keen eye for detail, I embarked on this transformative journey, gently removing select fan leaves to allow for increased light penetration and airflow. It's like giving our Epsilon F1 a botanical makeover, revealing her true splendor beneath the foliage canopy. This strategic pruning ensures that every bud site receives the attention it deserves, setting the stage for a bountiful harvest of epic proportions. But that's not all! As we bid farewell to the defoliation process, it's time to release all the bindings and restraints that were used to guide and train our green goddess throughout her growth journey. With a sense of liberation and pride, I untangle each tie, allowing our Epsilon F1 to stretch her leafy limbs and reach for the heavens. It's like setting a bird free from its cage, unleashing her full potential to soar to new heights of botanical glory. Now, let's talk about the environment. The TrolMaster controls have been instrumental in maintaining the perfect climate for our Epsilon F1's growth and development. From temperature and humidity to light and CO2 levels, these precision instruments ensure that our green queen receives the optimal conditions for flourishing. It's like conducting a symphony of growth, orchestrating each element to harmonize in perfect unity. And of course, we cannot forget the nourishment that sustains our botanical masterpiece. The Aptus Holland nutrients continue to be the lifeblood of our grow space, providing a balanced diet of essential macro and micronutrients. From the Micromix Soil to the Substrate Buffer Powder and All-in-One Pellet, each component plays a vital role in nurturing our plant to perfection. But let us not overlook the unsung heroes behind the scenes. Shout-outs to Royal Queen Seeds for bestowing upon us the genetic marvel that is the Epsilon F1, a testament to their dedication to excellence in breeding. To Aptus Holland, our main sponsor, whose unwavering support and innovative nutrients have propelled our grow to new heights of success. To TrolMaster, for providing the tools that empower us to create the optimal growing environment for our plants. And to Grow Diaries, the platform and community that fosters collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and camaraderie among growers worldwide. As we bid adieu to Week 7, let us revel in the glory of our Epsilon F1's progress and look forward with anticipation to the weeks ahead. Happy growing, dear readers, and may your gardens be forever green!

Hey everyone ☺️. It gets more beautiful from week to week 😍👍. I have them all this week Sprayed again properly with neem oil in the veggie phase ☺️. There have been no trips for 2 weeks, but prevention is better 😀. Because of the neem oil, the plants look very dark and shiny, which I really like when they shimmer like that 😝. I didn't do any training these days, that will be done again the next few days 👌. it was watered twice this week with around 0.6 l per plant. The Ph / Ec measuring device was also recalibrated. Otherwise there is nothing to report for this week and we'll see you again with the next update ☺️👍. I wish you and your families a Merry Christmas 😊.

More Incredible Developments this week! I started adding General Hydroponics Bud on the first watering of the third week of flower - it has resulted in some surprisingly big and fast growth over the past week. You can see from going to the previous week and this one, the bud sites seem to just getting fatter and searching out for their neighbors above and below them with the white pistils - I know I keep saying this but as a lifetime cannabis user, this is the first time I have had the opportunity to watch my own garden closely through the entire plants development and life cycle, and so far this is VERY exciting and entertaining to see the developments each day. The topping and LST techniques I used (no experience, only watching videos and researching) have resulted in my plants taking on almost a bowl or basket shape, where the outside branches have reached far far above the middle canopy during their "final stretch" or first week or two of flowering. Now, the middle of all of my plants have numerous smaller bud sites that are developing - I am looking forward to how the lower canopy buds develop! I am currently watering them every other day - 8 cups of water each. This past week I increased their water intake from 6 cups to 8 cups - So far I am seeing no sign of stress in any way shape or form - only VERY happy plants working on bulking up on their flowers. I plan on letting them do their thing and working on maintaining their environment so it stays consistent. Definitely a big increase in smell this week - the Cherry Gorilla x Sol Sonic seem to be moving along and bulking up a little more than the GMO. When picking leaves off the GMO, I can already start to smell and recognize hints of the tremendous gas garlic stank I have been looking forward to - Appreciate the Likes and Follows! Look forward to more photos and developments from my First Grow :)

Overall a very nice growing strain. I really like the open structure. I would give her 70 days of flowering. This pheno is mid on the taste and she needs more time to unfold flavors, but i would grow her again, just to have a different exhale experience. The effect is nice for focusing on whatever is in front of you. 8.5/10. A lot of sugar leaves btw, but i didnt weight it yet. I expect 40% trim of whole dried plant. Its a lot imo. The yield is on the upper XL range (100-150g range). XXL begins at 150g for me. My next grow is already running on DWC(hype). Its Lemon Cherry Gelato and Jealousy. I will mainline it too and try to sharpen my skills. Cya 😀 soon

Day 71 from seed the plant seems to be growing beautifully and now they are starting to develop beautiful flowers and they are entirely covered with white snow trichomes it is a very strong and powerful plant to grow what a beauty . I also I defoliate some of the lower branches that will not going to develop well enough because lack of light so they can use that energy on the upper buds instead of the lower ones. thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

Alright! 100% germination rate across the board on these beans! Every seed we sowed is now up and at em. That's already a good sign for new genetics. Well they're new to me anyway, who knows how long they've been overseas doing their thing. These could be some diamonds in the ruff, ya never know!!! Same here though as with the auto flowers we're going to see which strain performs best and then enter her into the competition....or if they're both hitting, we'll enter them both and see if we can take home a win! So for the photoperiod plants we're doing the Athena blended line in Promix soil. It's my first time using this line but they sent me it to try out so I'm going to see what's up. The auto flowers are going to be mainly organic and maybe a little mix of synthetic in bloom, if needed. That's the plan for some beautiful flowers. Let's Grow!!

Increased their food by a tad. Looked perfectly health raised to about 1900ppm. Again spider mites at it crawling up every leaf and creating a colony. I thought it was over until I sat there nearly every night finding the f*****s and rubbing the leaves with the spray. Defoliation was needed ASAP due to them stretching nicely. Started slowly from the bottom up. (repeated this process every 3-5 days.)
