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 ==========

*Week 6 of flowering 10/01* Critical +2.0 - Apple Fritter Both plants are nearing harvest and have maxed out at a height of 48 inches. Buds have developed heavy trichomes and are giving off a bright and vibrant smell. 85% of both plants have grown in their orange hairs and have a bright green and orange tint, Today will be the last nutrient feed, I will be using the "Lotus Carboflush" starting tomorrow (10/02) to remove the salt build up until harvest which will be next week (10/09) * 10/8 - Cut down* Both are heavy on top - Covered in trichomes - smells deep (Citrus) Dry trimming in two weeks - aiming for 14 day cure. *Day 2 Dry Hang Video uploaded 10/09* *10/15 - Harvest should be completed by the end of this week - 10/20*

RG #1: 51,11 Grams RG #2: 61,82 Grams RG #3: 42,96 Grams 155,89g and 300 Watt used in total. I also had the SQ #1 in my tent, with that one it's 196,87g total and i smoked some already while it was drying like i think maybe 20g, so keep that in mind. I hope the harvest will hold up until my next run and that i can top the results with my next run by a lot, i really want to get closer to 300g total. It has been pretty much exact 4 Months from germination to putting everything into the jars. I know it has been my first grow and i did some mistakes, but still im not very happy with the results after all that invested time and effort. Not enough yield, i expected to get more out of it with 300 Watts and even if it the weed me really high, the strain has many problems in my opinion. Sadly i let it dry for too long. Everyday i checked the stems and if they will break of still bend and sadly it seems like this method isn't really useful. I should have started way earlier to cut everything down and put it into jars. So its still ok but too dry, Without Boveda Packs i get like 45-50% Humidity in the jars, the Boveda Packs raise it up slowly to like 60% but i think this will hurt the end result when it comes to taste and smell, curing will be not happening or be very slow because of my mistake. When it comes to seeds, i did found like 30 more in total, most on sq1 and rq2 but it seems like sadly all got some. Its really not much more left of them and i think it was just one pollen sac which opened somewhere. Haven't found it even after cutting all down. This was my first trim job and i did it all on my own, i did like 1 1/2 plants on one day, like 12 hours with some smoke breaks in between. It was hell. Besides the weed i also got 4 packs of trim which i will use to make some butter and some dry sift from my trim tray.

Germination when great we are now into week one of the grow stage . I started feeding it 320ppm of the expert nutrients line of grow. She seems to be nice and healthy with the beautiful green colour I will be updating every week so tune in and thank you for looking at my diary and always remember it's 420 somewhere 🌱👍

🚀 Let's fly to another weeK 🚀 🌸 Dozi ZoZi – Breed Bros 🌸 WE jump in to DAY58! Watering PH 7.0 Temp is around 25C RH 55% and less in the night. I am trying to keep VPD around 1.1 kPa. I'm still trying to adjust the soil pH. Last watering was with 7.3 PH and 2ml of CANNA BOOST Accelerator It frosts beautifully and I like it very much, you can already smell quite a pleasant scent when you touch the flowers. Day 60: Today was a day full of experiences! In the morning, I found seeds in my plant. I removed the entire branch because it had a genetic issue, probably the reason it started herming. I checked the whole plant, and the problem was only in that one spot. I hope it won't happen elsewhere. I bought a new soil pH meter. Checked, and the pH is very good at 6.7. So, considering the yellow leaves and the fact that the plant has never been heavily fed, I decided to give it a full dose of Canna Flores fertilizer, 4.5 ml = EC about 1.44. Overall, the plant is doing very well, continuously producing new trichomes and becoming very sticky. The temperature in the grow box is 25°C, and the humidity is 55-60%. At night, I try to keep the humidity lower because the plant doesn't need much when there is no light. THX for watching and see you next week 👊

This week went well I am continuing to harvest buds as they become ready. The leaves are yellowing more and more letting me know that she is almost complete. I think the lower bids have about one more week until they are ready and that will complete the harvest for Big Girl. Little girl is now declining, she has not branches out or grown new tops.

This week they climbed about 7 inches. I’m in love with these girls. They’re a lot of fun to watch. They’re so uniform and wholesome I can’t stop staring at them. I just watered yesterday with just 6.3 ph water. I realized I was using too much veg fert. so I kept that out of my feeding for this week. I thought it said tbs instead of tsp so I was using way too much. They seem happy though so I think I’m ok. Other than that, I’m excited to see how much they grow this week.

Well what did we say at the start? A diamond in the rough? All that is gold does not glitter? This Xtrakush try-out by weedseeds.site is turning out to be quite the surprise and joy, I might add. Consider this: - She had 2 weeks less of growing time - Had a potmate, removed last week cause it was male, see the hole in the grow. - This seed is 1,50 dollar, her roommates at 10 to 12 dollar a seed. - See the flower growth in one week. It is stunning. - She almost covered the hole of her roommate in a week. No defoliation, nothing. This soil and light combination rocks. I think Im proving at as we go here. Totally enjoying this grow and its ups and downs. Thanks again for reading up and all the likes guys!!

Die 8 Blütewoche ist erfolgreich abgeschlossen! Tage der Wachstumsphase = 32 Tage. Tage der Blütephase = 56 Tage Wachstum h in Blütewoche 7= 0 cm Blütenbildung: Hoch Ich stelle erst jetzt fest, das es sich bei einer der Pflanzen um einen Mutant handelt. Ich habe bisher noch nie eine Mutierung feststellen können und bin gespannt wie es endet da ich natürlich noch keine Erfahrungen damit habe. Wenn ich es richtig recherchiert habe handelt es sich bei ein und derselben Pflanze um mehrere Mutationen Im Einzelnen... Mutation 1= strähnige Blüten (wie bei der Dr. Greenspoon öfter mal vorkommt) Mutation 2 = Gigantismus (doppelt so viele DNA Ketten wie regulär) Es wäre super wenn hier jemand der Erfahrung mit diesen Mutation hat mir eine Hilfestellung mit dem Umgang geben könnte. 2 mal in dieser Woche mit Purolyt Mischung 1:25 besprüht Lichtstärke: 85 % Lichtabstand: 37 cm Std Tag/Nacht: 12/12 Temperatur Tag: 25-26,5 Grad RLF Tag: 55-61% Temperatur Nacht: 20-21 grad RLF Nacht: 50-60 % VPD Wert: ca. 0,95-1,1 PH Wert Wasser/Düngelösung: 6,2 EC Wert: 1,4 Ventilator Oszillation: Stufe 2 Befeuchter: aus Entfeuchter: mit Steuerung an Zusätzlicher Entfeuchter: 1 Stk außerhalb vom Zelt im Raum Bewässerung: 1* Wasser PH 6,6 EC 0,1/ 5 * bewässert mit Dünger mit den o.g.
