Hello growmies! Welcome to week seven of An Epsilon Adventure! Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow! I have just completed the final defoliation for the three least advanced (and largest) girls. I have also rearranged the tent again to try to maximize the space available and light usage. I have not fertigated for 5 days after the last fertigation was a flush without coco base. I am struggling with humidity at the moment so I have been trying to let the plants go more dry than usual. Daily Updates ### Week 7 Day 2 02:30 7/8 Heavily defoliated plants 1, 5 & 6 and removed some of the lower branches. Rearranged tent then photographed & measured: Plant 1 is now almost unbelievably 2nd tallest at "only" 141cm in height! Her stretch has just about ended. Plant 2 has stopped stretching at 111cm and is 2nd most advanced into flower. Plant 3 has stopped stretching at 95cm and is most advanced into flower. Plant 4 has stopped stretching at 100cm and is 3rd most advanced into flower. Plant 5 has gained 6cm this week and may add few more but she is pretty close to done stretching at 119cm. Plant 6 has gained 22cm this week and isn't quite finished. She is now the tallest plant in the series at 142cm. ### Week 7 Day 2 07:00 7/8 Fertigated 1.6l each ### Week 7 Day 4 02:00 9/8 Fertigated 1.6l each reduced coco a/b to 2m/l each. Spent a bit more time photographing and videoing to try and capture the changes and the developmental differences. These 140cm+ plants are going to STACK. I am bracing myself for a lot of trimming and a monster harvest. 🙏 The current order of maturity and likely order of harvest is 3 2 4 1 5 6. I think the first and last plants will be at least a week apart in harvest, perhaps 2 or 3. ### Week 7 Day 6 23:00 11/8 Fertigated 1.6l each The smell in the tent is there now, really not that strong but there are 6 plants motoring through flower here now so it's not insignificant either. Plant 3 is absolutely stacking now, she's more or less run out of space around her cola and is now growing some foxtail like structures, exciting! Plant 6 the least mature is 2-3 weeks behind plant 3, but her stretch has finally stopped at 144cm. Took wide angle in tent photos today. All of the girls are drinking a lot now, but especially plant 1 who is really thirsty. --- 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 ==========

She is a beautiful short plant bushy, buds are sticky and showing that purple color very vibrantly with that white layer of crystals. The buds are very dense and solid with some swelling left to do. This is possibly her last feed before flush however she has been hungry and continues to take the nutrients.

The third week has ended with more white pistils and the smell has increased in the hours when the lights are off

Day15 of flower.

Had some family time last week and unfortunately caught covid with all the symptoms. I've been bed bound since Monday and today I'm starting to feel slighty better. Not asking for sympathy 🤣 but this explains why some of my girls have switched on me... Looks like all 3 Frosted Biscotti have gone into reveg. Obviously have a light leak but think I've sorted it now. The mystery is just well under feed as I've run out of Bloom and big Buds and its also gone into reveg. The other coco ones haven't gone into reveg and almost look done. Biscotti Mintz and Bahama Bussdown look 🔥 well impressed. The mutant Biscotti Mintz (soil) has come along nicely and looks amazing. I don't get why that hasn't revegged as its surrounded buy the others that have. The 2 at the back, (Bahama Bussdown) ones taken a slight knock and revegged and the other one has just got to heavy and collapsed. Again looks near enough done so now need to think of a plan of action for curing as tent will be occupied for at least another month. So I think that's it with the problems 🤣 .. Apologies again for not getting back to anyones dairys over the last 2weeks. I'm going to spend the weekend catching up with you all and sorting out the tent as long as I'm covid clear. My partner has been doing so much for my son and I I couldn't ask her to maintain the tent aswell. She did give them a water but no nutrients 🙈 half effort still wins my heart ❤️ Discount codes in bio for Mars and GreenBuzzLiquids 👍🏻 game changers 🏆

So I was really happy to have the opportunity to grow this strain I have my clones are ready My next grow will be sour headband and GDP they are all in veg

10/1 - Happy as ever. Basically on autopilot. 10/2 - Had a fun photo shoot today. Plants are looking thirsty, will likely water tomorrow. 10/3 - Watered today with the usual. Plants are starting to "stack" the nugs! 10/4 - They loved that watering. I'm loving life right now, so are the plants. I did some minor defoliation today to prevent some bud sites from being covered. 10/5 - Another great day for a photo shoot :)

Всем привет. Я назвал этот дневник "Old tree" и это не просто так, этому кусту 13 месяцев! Также интересный факт это растение уже дало урожай после чего я решил оставить 30% от растения, обрезать ему корни и пересадить в горшок поменьше после чего отправил его на вегетацию 18/6 и оно начало вегетировать. Также с этого растения мне получилось взять много хороших клонов, но теперь старушке пора на пенсию ее работа выполнена! Надеюсь это будет интересно.

This is the start of flowering! I started 5 days ago so we should see some bud formation really soon done some heavy training on GG#1 . Waiting on GG#2 to shoot out abit more then i will start the sliding stake technique on her as well . Waiting on the more serious formation of flowers before i give a good PK spike . Other then that things are looking good in the garden and we are well on our way to the finish line . Thanks everyone for your support keep rocking out! -Happy Growing!

Неделя пролитела почти не заметно, назревают соцветья, с каждым днём заметно прирост, по листу заметно что чутка переборщил с удобрением, но сильного стресса не наблюдается На этой недели сильно тренировками не нагружал и дал резкий рост и набрал объём самих ветвей, некоторые стали такой же толщиной что и основной ствол😁

I am pretty excited. 🙂. They are coming along nicely. The ladies arms are getting more and more swollen every day. The stretch has stopped. I have done some more defoliation (can't keep my hands away from the damn scissors. Lol). I will update throughout the week. 😎

The girls have survived another week ❤️ I did a light defoliation and have been monitoring the RH closely. We have had a very damp week here, and the RH kept climbing and had my fan working hard. They are starting to plump up and fill in 😋. They have also started to slow their drinking habits, instead of watering every three days, it has moved to every 4 now. Just a couple of weeks left, I think I will be harvesting these over Christmas 🎄, and will have some great bud ready for the new year! 🎉🎊🍾

I had a good week with this plant. This strain really stretched out during the last few weeks of veg, I had to move my grapes and cream plant into my closet 😂.

Magnum is a truly beautiful plant. blooms for two weeks and has a lot of branches. So far everything looks fine.

Day 14 time for transplantation 🤗 first time with auto, but F1 should be resistant💪

🎥 My Week 3 Grow Log: Starting the Mainlining Process Introduction & Timing Whats Going On Growmies !!! welcome back to the 2025 Winter Grow! This week marks a really exciting milestone because the Special Kush 1 is finally ready for its first major structural training. We’re currently in Week 3 of the vegetative stage, and the plant has gotten big and healthy enough to handle some High-Stress Training (HST). The Main Goal: Mainlining My focus this session was to initiate mainlining. For those who don't know, this is the technique I use to create a perfectly balanced, symmetrical canopy, which should lead to much bigger and more uniform colas later on. This is where we lay the foundation for maximizing our final yield. The Steps I Took (Topping) Selection: I examined the plant and chose the perfect spot for the cut. I decided on the third node (counting from the bottom) as the anchor point for the manifold. The Cut (Topping): I carefully took my sterilized shears and topped the plant, removing the entire top growth tip (the apical meristem). This was done right above the selected third node. Redirection: Removing that main growth tip gets rid of apical dominance. Now, all of the plant’s energy will be diverted equally into the two main side branches growing out of that third node. These two branches are what will form the central "Y" shape of the manifold. The Clean-Up (Pruning) Lower Growth Removal: To ensure every bit of energy goes to those two future main colas, I systematically removed all of the lower growth. This included all the secondary growth tips and fan leaves from the first and second nodes. The New Structure: After the trimming, the plant now has a clean, bare stem leading up to the two chosen branches at the third node. This is the official "beginning of the mainlining" process. Next Steps The plant will now focus on recovering and growing those two new main branches. In the next few days, I'll probably be tying those two branches down gently to keep them level and open up the center (that's the Low-Stress Training part of mainlining). I'm really happy with how the first cut went. Stay tuned for the next part where we continue to shape this manifold! My Week 3 Grow Log: Precision Nutrient Feeding Part 1: The Nutrient Mix and Strength Check Water Base: I started with my baseline water and made sure it was ready for mixing. The Flora Series Mix (Per Gallon): I carefully measured out the General Hydroponics Flora Series nutrients, following my specific Week 3 veg schedule: FloraMicro: 4.5 ml/gal (This provides essential micro-elements and buffers the solution. FloraGrow: 6.1 ml/gal (This is the primary source of Nitrogen (N) for rapid leaf and stem growth.) FloraBloom: 3.0 ml/gal (A smaller dose is included to ensure all necessary P/K elements are present, even in veg.) CalMag Boost: Crucially, I added 1.9 ml/gal of CalMag. Motivation: This ensures the plant has enough Calcium and Magnesium to prevent deficiencies and handle the increased light intensity, especially as it recovers from stress. Part 2: pH Adjustment and Application The Critical pH Check: I tested the pH of the nutrient solution. Motivation: Nutrients are only available to the roots within a specific pH window. I adjusted the mix using pH down (as is usually the case with the Flora Series) until the solution was dialed in between 6.0-6.5 for optimal uptake. The Watering Technique: I slowly and evenly applied the nutrient solution to the container, making sure the entire medium was saturated. Run-off Check (The Final Step): The most important part of this session was checking the run-off. By testing the run-off EC and pH, I confirmed that the root zone is healthy, that the plant is taking up food, and that old salts aren't building up in the container. Summary of Results Everything looks good! With the perfectly balanced and measured nutrient cocktail, the Special Kush 1 now has the necessary fuel (especially the high nitrogen from the 6.1 ml/gal FloraGrow) to heal quickly and push those two newly topped branches into strong growth, setting us up for success with the manifold!

Hey guys Everything going good, one Zake and one Shimo (in the front) have pretty much no stretch 😓 Beside that, everything going good, the ChemZu's are so Big 😍

Lumatek - 75% , Totally untrained! I try with defoliation, light intensity and distance from plant's top to make a flat canopy. Thanks for watching my dairy!
