Another week of flower in the books. The Afghani x Mac1 auto is finally starting to get some terp production and smelling like exotic fruit...papaya leaning. She's drinking water multiple times a day, and I've honestly stopped measuring. I give her water when she's light, and that's about twice a day. She was also top dressed this week with 1tsp of 284 bloom and 1tbsp of guano.

Leaf scaring getting worse but seems to have stopped progressing. Buds look amazing and can't complain about tricome production.

No complaints this week..humidity levels are optimal, runoff ppms are at ideal levels , white pistils are showing throughout the plants, the ladies have stretched a few more inches from last week, they seem to like to bloom ratio of the 3 part general hydroponics nutrient solution, small clusters are forming on top of plants. They seem to be drinking much more judging by how fast the medium has been drying out.So far everything is going well. Im definitely looking forward to see how well they produce buds. Will keep yall updated in my next upload.

Week 18 (30-6 tm 5-7) 30-6 Temperatuur: 31.4 graden (licht aan) 22.5 graden (licht uit) Luchtvochtigheid: 69% (hoogste) 50% (laagste) Ik heb de trichomen bekeken en heb besloten haar nog een dagje langer laten staan. Watergift: Geen. 1-7 Vandaag heb ik de trichomen opnieuw bekeken en die zien er goed uit! Veel cloudy en best wel wat amber. Ik hou echt van deze trichome foto's, echt mind blowing hoe dat er uit ziet! Dus vandaag gaat de schaar er in! 2-7 Ik heb besloten om een wet trim te doen zodat als ze droog is ze gelijk in de cure pot kan. Geloof het of niet, maar ik ben wel 12 uur lang bezig geweest om alles te knippen 😅 Op 1-7 ben ik in de middag begonnen en in de vroege ochtend van 2-7 was ik klaar. Het natte gewicht van de buds is 283 gram, en het natte gewicht van de trim is 61 gram. Ik ben nu al super tevreden met het gewicht! Dit is meer dan het dubbele aan gewicht vergeleken met mijn eerste grow. De buds zien er ook echt mooi uit. Ik schat dat het tussen de 50 en 75 gram droog gaat zijn. Ik ben benieuwd, nu een paar dagen drogen! Droogtent: Temperatuur: 23.4 graden (hoogste) 21.2 graden (laagste) Luchtvochtigheid: 59% (hoogste) 42% (laagste) 3-7 Droogtent: Temperatuur: 23.2 graden (hoogste) 21.5 graden (laagste) Luchtvochtigheid: 50% (hoogste) 41% (laagste) 4-7 Droogtent: Temperatuur: 23.1 graden (hoogste) 22.1 graden (laagste) Luchtvochtigheid: 53% (hoogste) 46% (laagste) 5-7 Na 3 dagen is ze droog genoeg om te curen. Wel heb ik iets te lang gewacht want de LV in de jar geeft nu 57% aan. Ik hoop dat dit over een dag wat om hoog gaat. Nu een paar weken curen en dan kom ik met de rook verslag 😁 Ik zal binnenkort ook even berekenen wat de gram per watt is, aangezien ik de lamp niet de gehele grow op 100% had staan. Het droge gewicht van de buds is precies 75 gram, en het droge gewicht van de trim is 19 gram. Samen maakt dat 94 gram! (De trim gebruik ik om een CBD cake of bubble hasj te maken) Ik wil iedereen bedanken voor het volgen van dit avontuur! Tot de volgende keer!

After surviving a wicked thunderstorm last weekend the Devil's still stand tall. I was able to get some branches tied down and everything secured. Tallest girl measures just over 9ft, up above the app will only allow me to enter 118 inches as the most for height when the tallest plant is 126 inches tall. The peak of the greenhouse frame is 8ft. Been having a hard time keeping Monster Bloom in stock so been using slightly less and compensating with Alaska Morobloom 0-10-10. Stepped up the Purpinator a little bit to 1 1/2 tsp, and plan to > as flowering continues. Hopefully in this next week they blow up with calyxes. Was also considering reintroducing my waterproof lights in places to be used during the daytime where light is scarce. On the other hand it's kind of nice having a lower electric bill, haha. HAPPY GROWING TO ALL!

Week 9: Navigating the Path to Harvest! Greetings once again, fellow cultivators! As we journey deeper into the heart of our botanical adventure, Week 9 brings us closer to the long-awaited harvest of our beloved Epsilon F1. In this week's installment, we dive into the intricacies of nutrient management and the final stages of flower development. Our Epsilon F1 stands tall and proud, a testament to the care and dedication lavished upon her throughout her growth journey. With each passing week, her beauty becomes more radiant, her buds more plump and resinous. It's a sight to behold, a testament to the magic of nature and the art of cultivation. Ah, but this week brings a significant shift in our approach to feeding. We've made the bold decision to cut all additional nutrients, relying solely on Fluvic Blast and Enzym+, both trusted companions from the Aptus Holland lineup. Why, you ask? Because at this stage of the game, our focus shifts from nutrient uptake to nutrient utilization. Fluvic Blast, with its rich blend of organic acids and trace minerals, acts as a catalyst for nutrient absorption, ensuring that our Epsilon F1 can make the most of the resources available to her. Enzym+, on the other hand, plays a crucial role in breaking down organic matter, releasing valuable nutrients that might otherwise remain locked away in the soil. Together, these two powerhouses work in harmony to optimize nutrient availability and promote healthy, vigorous growth in the final weeks before harvest. As we approach the culmination of our journey, let us not forget the lessons learned along the way. From the delicate balance of light and nutrients to the art of patience and perseverance, each day in the grow room has been a lesson in humility and gratitude. We owe a debt of gratitude to Royal Queen Seeds for providing us with the genetic masterpiece that is the Epsilon F1, and to Aptus Holland for crafting nutrients that have nourished our plant from seedling to harvest. And so, as we bid adieu to Week 9 and prepare for the final stretch, let us take a moment to marvel at the beauty of our Epsilon F1 and the miracle of nature's creation. May her harvest be abundant, her buds potent, and her legacy enduring. Until next time, dear friends, happy growing! #EpsilonF1HarvestJourney #Week9FinalStretch #BotanicalBeauty #RoyalQueenSeedsGenetics #AptusHollandNourishment Genetics -Epsilon F1 @rqs_esp @royalqueenseedssp @rqsglobal Food - @aptusholland @aptus_world @aptus_es @aptus_portugal @aptusbrasil @aptusplanttechaus @aptus_thailand @aptusplanttechnz @aptususa_official LED @lumatekeu Controls - @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.agro @trolmaster.support As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life With true love comes happiness , Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #rqs #ApoloMission #MoonHarvestAdventure #playwithlego #lego #legotime #legovideo #tothemoonandback More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found Link in the profile description Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love To you All

Cheese XXL is the third commercially available edition released by Original Sensible using and developing these Afghan and Skunk genetics. The first release of these genetics was their Skunk Afghani. The second improved version was Stinkin' Bishop which had an improved and more potent THC content and was more pungent in terms of smell. Now the third and improved release on a similar theme is this Cheese XXL which has a similar THC content but with an improved heavier yield. The smoke is incredible with an outstanding flavour of pungent skunk and spicy, extra strong mature cheese created by the dominant terpene myrcene with its strong earthy scent accompanied by caryophyllene and pinene which combine to create a peppery acrid cheesy odour. THC levels are exceptionally high in this Cheese strain and the effect is well-balanced creating mental and body relaxation with a remarkable alleviation of stress and depression. The strong pungent aroma starts early in the flowering period, if you're growing Cheese XXL indoors you'll need plenty of ventilation to disperse the stinky "road kill" aroma of these babies! Cheese XXL is a Cheese strain particularly suited to indoor setups but also thriving well outdoors these feminised marijuana seeds are incredibly resistant to mould and disease and produce a substantial harvest that both the professional and amateur growers alike can easily achieve. These Cheese weed seeds are outstanding, break open the buds ready for use and you'll see why, the stench will make your eyes water! Cheese XXL from Original Sensible Seeds is a great choice to break into the commercial market of growing cannabis so if you're looking to buy something special with extreme yield, potency and flavour then Cheese XXL cannabis seeds are simply the best choice

10/23-10/30 final week. 10/24 - this grow is not as ready as I would like it to be but its needed to be on a set schedule since the get-go as this was the first plant in my perpetual. the next plant will be harvested on trich color not time window. 90% cloudy 10% clear hoping the rest of those clear finish up this final week. I usually prefer at least 10% amber. 10/26 - Starting to get amber triches faster than expected, should hit my 10% threshold by tuesday for harvest!

Week 11! Day 77. Gotta be nearing the final lap now. Old fan leaves are turning yellow & pistils are turning brown. I did a few trial runs of "ice flushing" but with just one ice cube at a time last week lol. Maybe 2-3 cubes per day. Figured it'd help imitate colder conditions outdoors if nothing else. Still doing the slow, small waterings as she definitely prefers them to dumping a whole bottle-and-a-half in there at once. The smell is more noticeable than before, but still not where you'd expect for the size & maturity. My smaller plants both smelled stronger, and MUCH earlier. One of them was a Solo cup grow all the way to the end & neither exceeded a paltry 4.3 grams dry. (Maybe I've just had COVID one too many times since then but this plant is as odor-free as can be). Frost level is moderate compared to popular strains & bud sites are abundant which is my main concern. I don't smoke weed for the taste or smell, though I know terps play a role in the final effects. This girl couldn't smell any LESS like Skittles, berries or chocolate if it tried, leaning much farther in the skunky/pungent direction. Planning to do a wet trim & staggered harvest, cutting the top into 3 sections 24 hours apart to hopefully avoid/reduce stress. Then I'll leave the bottom part to grow another week or so. With a plant this tall and lanky, there is a real difference in maturity of buds. Plus my lights are weak af. Not sure how I'll get the temps down in the 60-70 degree range for for TWO separate drying periods, but we'll try. (I'm cold-natured & would have to run the AC 24/7 since it's still warm & muggy here, and that gets expensive. But I'll also have my ceiling & oscillating fans, some baking soda to absorb moisture & windows to open on cool nights. Gotta keep the temp AND humidity in the right range! I looked at her the morning after applying a small amount of potassium humates & noticed a bunch of brown rusty spots on the upper sugar leaves. So I cut them off. Would be curious to know what it most likely is though. Also found a dead bug on her. Little black thing with wings... looks like he died happy lol. 10/29/25: Ice flush + stem-splitting initiated. Next is 24 hours of light before adding more ice (half as much, if that) plus 36 hours in the dark before (partial) harvest. Landlord scare this morning had me scrambling to hide everything! Hence the bent cola on top--she wore the black garbage bag "hat" again lol. No bottle/chemical nutes so this isn't technically a "flush" in every sense... more of an end-of-life stressor/imitation of outdoor conditions (if we weren't frying due to climate change, heh). Hoping this staggered harvest thing works out. I wouldn't likely be doing it if not for the time crunch & fact that I need to whittle this plant down to a more manageable size. Next few days should be eventful, check back. 😉

This girl is still looking beautiful and filling out. She got a handful of the Coast of Maine 5-2-4 around her base, and I have some BT showing up tomorrow to combat those evil little inchworms that took up residence in some of the buds of the one I grew last year. Her color is great and she smells heavenly.

The photoperiodic Tangerine Dream has flowered super fast and efficiently, it is full of resin and has hard flowers, very hard I dare say like never before or almost. The flower density is at the highest levels really. You can also see it from the photos if you can't touch... ** We remind all users that we grow two plants per variety, one worked with techniques and the other left to grow freely and splendidly to preserve its speed and classic Christmas tree shape in height. Description // This plant was unexpectedly turbo in flowering. By now we have understood that there are some that flower quickly and finish in 6-7 weeks what is difficult in these plants is the discharge which is actually the only thing that I did not succeed in this case the plant was harvested too green but it is at the limit of the risk of mold so it must be pulled. I have however carried out large flushes in the last few days. Look at these flowers for me they are exceptional and I have another plant worked with main lining that primes very well too, fingers crossed the fall has arrived and the air conditioner has broken I am waiting for the new one that will arrive anyway near the end of the harvests. Trichomes and maturation // We did a careful 10x (and 10x x 1.6) microscope look and noticed a good percentage of milky/clod trichomes but still plenty of clear trichomes and some amber too. It's mostly sativa but just 60/40 so guys if we want to keep a more sativa effect we must harvest with a majority of cloudy/milky trichomes if we want a more indica effect, remembering that the thc oxidizes going too far, amber is your color. I do day use and therefore I look for more of the sativa effect when the plant is sativa. Fertilizers and soil // We used Plagron's organic range of nutrients the whole time, all the recommended additives and the unfertilized and organic Pro Mix soil. Calculate everything to suit your needs on the website ------ https://plagron.com/ Nutrients are available in handy packs on the Zamnesia website --------- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html I love this strain, I love the tangerine smell and the hard and potent flowers ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/10966-zamnesia-seeds-tangerine-dream.html Zamnesia Brief Description // Whether you're new to the fascinating world of cannabis cultivation or an expert, Tangerine Dream by Zamnesia Seeds will give you great satisfaction both in growing and smoking. Carefully bred from selected clones of G13, Afghan, and Neville's A5 Haze, this strain boasts a slight 60% sativa dominance and offers a relaxing yet uplifting effect. It's also easy to grow and will suit both indoor and outdoor growers. As we've just seen, Tangerine Dream is a pleasure to grow, but she's even more of a pleasure to smoke. With 25% THC and a pungent blend of exotic terpenes, Tangerine Dream smells amazing, tastes delicious, and has a well-balanced, long-lasting effect. When you open a jar full of these dense, resinous buds, you'll be hit with a delicious citrus aroma reminiscent of freshly peeled mandarins and grapefruits. With hints of citrus, spice, and incense, each hit is a sensory delight reminiscent of a refreshing juice sipped on a sunny porch. Finally, as the effects kick in, you'll be treated to a long-lasting, balanced, positive cerebral high, followed by a gentle physical relaxation. Perfect for weekends spent outdoors or social gatherings. Order your Tangerine Dream seeds today and grow this invigorating hybrid. The whole world of growing and much more is at Zamnesia - just take a look at the site and you'll find "the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colours. --------------- www.zamnesia.com

We are in week 6 of bloom on a 7 to 8 week flowering time! I am LOVE LOVEING this strain! Within this last week its gotten a Bit hotter later in May! We sare doping grereat tho, She is showing some signs of heat stress in my eyes causde of the burnt tips, I dont think nutrients caused this cause I have not been giving here many nutrients, the top feed and one tiime I gave her some Tastey Terpenes from advanced nutrients. This living soil has been amaazing I honestly dont think I needed to give the plant the Nirvana, I do think it helped. I am light watering with irrated ph balanced for the next few days, might gvive her some sugars molasses yummm. much love looooking to harvest soon, This strain is blowinig my mind, so is this soil. With everything I put into the soil and learning how to build a soil has beeen a journey and im on it! Hoping this plant swells up some in the next weeek put some weight on, now that all the pistols are brown ill check thrichomes soon!!
