22 Aug 2021 Today I’m starting to give some nutrients to assist my ladies in their development. I have been using plain pH’ed water to use the nutrients in the soil before giving anything extra. My girls are looking bleached out and weak. Maybe trying to reduce the nutrients by using the soil for the first week or so in their new homes isn’t paying off. I was hoping to see them flourish, but they aren’t. Growing is all about trial and error, and I’m hoping that my error isn’t going to hurt them in the long run! I’m starting the “Late Growth, stage 4” on my Flora-Trio 6 part feeding chart, but in the beginning I’m going to give them only half of the recommended amount to hopefully prevent any nutrient burn that they might experience. If there are no negative impacts seen, then I’ll adjust the amount as necessary. Today I’m giving them a half gallon of water with the following nutrients: CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 3.8ml, FloraGro 4.5ml, FloraBloom 2.5ml, and Floralicious Plus 1ml. The initial pH was as follows: C1 - 6.4, C2 - 6.3, C3 - 6.3. I did not need to adjust it, so I didn’t. The TDS going in was: C1 - 636 ppm, C2 - 634 ppm, C3 - 653 ppm. I was originally planning on giving each plant a gallon of water, but I received enough runoff after only half a gallon. I guess they still haven’t developed an extensive root system enough to require the additional water. It just made it to where I don’t have to worry about making more to give them in a couple of days. The runoff pH and TDS were as follows: C1 - pH 5.7, TDS 498 ppm; C2 - pH 6.0, TDS 562 ppm; C3 - pH 5.7, TDS 707 ppm. It’s always funny to see how plants in the same type of soil, and given nearly the same solution still have such varying pH and TDS runoff levels. 🤷‍♂️ That’s all I have to say. It’s a mystery, but not an overly important one as long as they’re healthy. The heat in the tent today was somewhat warm, but not as bad as it has been lately. The temperature was 81F, and the humidity was 56%. I’m hopeful that adding nutrients today will improve their color and get them to start developing their branches some more so I can flip them to flower in a little bit. We’ll have to see how it goes. 25 Aug 2021 Today I gave my ladies the second half of the gallon that I prepared a few days ago. They received the first half gallon on the 22nd, so I’m not going to repeat everything here again. To see what they were given read the note above. I am going to note the runoff levels and the temperature and humidity because they are important to note. Runoff was as follows: C1 - pH 6.0, TDS 610 ppm C2 - pH 6.1, TDS 546 ppm C3 - pH 6.0, TDS 765 ppm Again, it just weird seeing plants with different pH and TDS levels when they’re given nearly the exact same solution. 🤷‍♂️ The temperature in the tent was 81F, and humidity 62%. Overall, my little ladies are looking better since starting the nutrients. They no longer look bleached out, and the green is returning to her leaves quite well. I decided to measure them today as well to document their growth. C1 is now 16 inches tall, and C2 is 15 inches, and C3 is 16 inches. C1 and C2’s lights were adjusted to be 19 inches away, and C3’s light is at 18 inches to keep the light canopy level. The difference in the light and size is due to the size of the pot C3 is in. She stands taller because her pot is half a gallon larger, but also because the pot has small legs on which it stands on so it sits higher. They’re looking better, so that’s all that I care about in reality. Good luck, and happy growing everyone!!

Hello growmies! Welcome to week six of An Epsilon Adventure! Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow! So here we are at week six and every one of these girls are at a slightly different stage, it is quite fascinating to watch them develop one after the other. Today I made the last adjustment to the light possible. I removed the adjustable hangers and affixed a carabiner which I tightly tied to the top of the tent bar. There is about 1.5 inches of space between the top of the shade and the tallest part of the roof of the tent. Plant 1 is already taller than this, and it looks like plant 6 and maybe even plant 5 are going to join it. It's a madness. I am sure you have already looked at the photos but just in case you do what I do and read the diary first... Here is my assessment at the beginning of week 6: Plant 1: Height: 1st (137cm) - what can I say about this ridiculous plant? Day 36... 137cm tall. I have had to raise the light to as high as it is physically possibly to raise it and it's still not high enough. She is done stretching now, she may add 3-5cm over the next week or so but I don't expect more than that, so her top of her main cola going to have to develop above the level of the light. Nothing I can really do, nothing wise anyway. What a monster plant. Maturation: 4th - early into flower - bud sites developing, pistils just starting to explode. Plant 2: Height: 4th (111cm) - this plant has been there or there abouts as the tallest plant for most of the grow, but she has topped out at 111cm. She will gain some during flower but not much more than a few centimetres. Very impressive plant, loads of bud sites, really big strong secondary branches. This one is going to be colas galore. Maturation: 3rd - well into flower - all white pistils Plant 3: Height: 6th (95cm) For some brief days the tallest plant in the room, she peaked early and is now the "shortest" at "only" 95cm for this "50-70cm" strain. She is utterly dwarfed by four of her five sisters in just about every department, being quite a bit smaller even than plant 4 (although I have removed the most lower nodes from this plant). Compared with her sisters she is almost a runt... except that she is 25cm taller than the strain top-end average and matches the maximal height of the previous tallest Epsilon F1 plant I am aware of. It's not that she is small, actually she's pretty big for an Epsilon F1, it's just that the rest of the girls are on another level altogether. Plants 1, 5 and 6 are all absolute beasts. Maturation: 1st - well into flower - first shades of brown in some pistils. Plant 4: Height: 5th (98cm) although only 3cm taller than plant 3, overall she is a much larger plant. Her secondary nodes are the same height as plant 3. Maturation: 2nd - well into flower - all white pistils Plant 5: Height: 3rd (113cm) - one of the two thick/short girls who have grown at a similar pace all along - she is further ahead than plant 6 but not by much and I think she will probably exceed 120cm this week, though I do not think she will outgrow plant 1 or 6. Maturation: 5th - early into flower - bud sites developing. Plant 6: Height: 2nd (120cm) - my predictions were correct about this girl and her continued growth. I now think she might actually outgrow plant 1, which is quite worrying. Maturation: 6th - early into flower - bud sites forming - by far the least mature plant of the six. ### Week 6 Day 2 23:00 30/7 Photographed. Raised the light. Rotated the plants. Inspected, measured and reported on each plant. ### Week 6 Day 3 23:00 31/7 It has not escaped my attention that the plants that are more advanced into flower have darkened and have some burnt tips. I need to flush them and lay off the base nutes a bit. These plants are just growing and maturing so quickly that I cannot keep up. ### Week 6 Day 5 02:30 2/8 Fertigated 3l of nutrient mix, without either COCO A or B. ### Week 6 Day 6 01:30 3/8 photographed --- 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 ==========

Flower Week 9 Day 69 to 71 - 5/20 to 5/22 After a few extra days of dryout I chopped. I decided to wet trim while still on the stems. Lots of rain lately, and the drying process was a challenge but I overcame with fans around the hangers and more dry time. I dried until I could snap a test branch. Then I trimmed off the buds and placed in humidity controlled bags with hydrometers.

She's acting a bit weird. Some fresh leaves are kind of crumbling, as if it's mutating. Might be due to the stress from the topping, since she started flowering very soon after that. Also, I (semi) broke some branches when attempting to bend them, that might also be a reason.., Still spraying weekly with cannacure.

Starting to smell so strong! Like chem candies for sure. Cant wait to see how it changes these last couple weeks, still been somewhat smokey as you can tell from the ash on her! Sun is red is certain pics. Its starting to get colder here at night for sure lows 50s going to get into 40s next week! Just started top max excited to see how that affects growth also noticed a little burn on some leaves from yhe fish mix did a week 6 leaf trim for light penetration. Just so little light on my pourch gotta utalize it well! Also did one more preventative spray with the growsafe

Strawberry gorilla from fastbuds buds has a great gorilla smell with a strong fruit smell that’s just like strawberries no lie. The plant doesn’t grow super tall but it does stack colas really nice. I didn’t grow the plant out as big as possible but it has big colas as long as half my are and smaller nugs all over that were the size of a fist. A great producer. Buds are spongey perfect for drying easily.

Cuttings been in 1 week roots out baskets. 1st time using advanced nutes

Happy ladies this week! Slacked a bit on my defol this week so we are looking a bit like a jungle! Happy growing friends! ✌️🏻😊

Still moving along , missed a week on it but nothing really missed with that. Continuing with the Pro-blend upped the ml alil bit but she was pretty pale so added a few ml more to her feed.. Added silica this week aswell as Recharge.. Dropped a handful of leaves to let light reach the lowest parts better and lower the humidity in the lil clone tent she's in. Really filling out, shooting tons of leaves, multiple nodes going on curious to see how she grows from here on. But not much to note, letting her take her time , won't be flipping till she's about 20/24in tall. That's about it for the update. Appreciate the likes and everyone's time to check out any of the posted grows !!

It’s not all glam fam, Im being challenged by the heat so I added another fan + adjusted hps light to max! These biches have sprouted like no other I’ve experienced in the past, and the smell is incredible already, strawberry being the most pungent 💯 Jah bless 🙏💨

First week of flowering went good, had some trouble with my ph meter again, so I ordered a bunch of ph equipment and I’m gonna start fresh with everything new. Lol sick of second guessing my crappy pens. Plants are staying pretty compact so far, they have started to stretch a little bit but we have only done a few tucks on them. They are either gonna stay short or haven’t started there main stretch yet, but we are 10 days into flip so they should be stretching by now. Time will tell I guess. Lol I removed a few of the larger guard leaves up top to open up the middle of the plants more to the light. I have around 40000 lux at the top of the netting and they seem to be taking it fairly well. I’m yet to get my water chiller installed as I’ve been very busy this month and haven’t had time to finish my DIY video for it. Lol hopefully this week we will get it installed and get our water temps down a little lower. I got some more H2O2 coming soon too so can’t wait to get using that again, plants just haven’t been the same without it, but I haven’t been able to find it reasonably priced anywhere near me in a long time. I am using UC Roots now in its place to keep my res/water clean, but it’s not as good. H2O2 has extra oxygen on top of keeping things clean, so can’t wait! Well that’s it for this week, Cheers💨

Did defoliation as usual and a little lollipoping. Did 2 complete refills of the reservoir, ph stayed stable for 1 day after the exchange but then super unstable again. Dropped the EC with the second refill to 1000 to see if it stays stable. Ori is going good, already looking frosty, NL#2 is comming aswell, NL#1 not so much.

Week 1 Day 1 - 8/12/2023 1st Water change Day! Such a special time it is when you remove the little bit of Nutes that you gave them as an appetizer and you give them their first real meal. Added 39 Gallons of Water to my system SILICA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Root Drip = 1mil/Gal = 39mil Cal Mag= .25mil/Gal = 9.75 = 10mil FLoraMicro= 3.0mil/Gal = 114mil FloraGro = 2.0mil/Gal = 78mil FloraBloom = 2.0mil/Gal =78mil ORCA= .5mil/Gal = 19.5 = 20mil Week 1 Day 2 - 8/13/2023 Everything is looking good the roots are making thier way to the water and the new grow is looking nice and green. Week 1 Day 3- 8/14/2023 Everything is right on track, they are looking beautiful and in the praying postition all leaves happily lifting towards the light. Week 1 Day 4- 8/15/2023 Looking beautiful today and looked like she could use her first haircut.. gave her a TOP off. Roots are laying in the water everything is looking right on track.. Week 1 Day 5- 8/16/2023 walked in and the humidity was under 60.... ohh noooooo.. So I added 2 humidifiers to the tent and attached them to my InkBird controller which is set to 62. She had roots nicely in the water.. this grow is on!!! Week 1 Day 6- 8/17/2023 Humidity was a little low this morning, so I refilled the humidifiers. Other than that, the temp looks great, the PH looks great, the PPM looks good the plant is in the praying position and all damage from the little drowning seems to have been fixed. Happy Happy. Week 1 Day 7- 8/18/2023 Yay.. week 1 in the books, roots in the water growth has started first hair cut given and both side nodes are growing. Everything is looking good and on track.. A lot better than week one of the last grow when I had them drowning week 1. Really excited on how this grow is going to come out.
