Moving along. Mostly leaving this girl be, haven’t defoliated and trained for a bit now. Still showing some signs of deficiencies, so will once again step up feeding this week. Video/photos taken 56 days after breaking soil.

Hello growmies! Welcome to week five of An Epsilon Adventure! Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow! The girls are all at different early flowering stages, but they are only days apart from each other. I have a bit of a quandary now though, as I am no longer following the nutrient schedule as these plants are too fast for it. So I am unsure whether to start PK warrior or not yet. I have also realised I have probably underfed them in the last week or so, which to be honest isn't a big deal for me right now as they are already waaaaaaaaaaay bigger than expected. Let's talk about that a moment. This strain has an average height of 50-70cm. I wonder if those numbers were for soil grows? It seems for coco you will get even bigger plants. Case in point these six girls measured at 3pm 24/7 day 30 as follows: Plant 1: 111cm Plant 2: 99cm Plant 3: 90cm Plant 4: 89cm Plant 5: 85cm Plant 6: 84cm Plant 3 appears to have stopped stretching and is the most advanced into flower. Plant 4 is right behind it and has slowed down but not yet stopped stretching. Plant 2 is next in terms of flowering development her stretch is slowing. Plant 5 is still stretching rapidly and is coming to the end of preflower. No concern really at 85cm she has some room yet. Plant 6 is still stretching rapidly and is still in preflower. Slightly concerned despite her 84cm stature as she has been the most beefy looking plant all along, so I am expecting her to grow a good bit more. Plant 1 is still stretching rapidly and is still in preflower. Extremely very concerned about this one. The light is about as high as it can go. 111cm!! I have scoured the internet and the tallest Epsilon F1 I have found was 95cm. It's great that she is so happy this plant, but if she gets much taller I'm going to have to super crop her main cola. Whatever happens I am starting to dream of smashing my yield target out of the park, these girls are all impressive. Hard to believe they are just 30 days old. Daily Updates: ### Week 5 Day 2 15:00 24/7 Photographed. ### Week 5 Day 2 23:30 24/7 fertigated 1.6l and updated nutrient schedule for the week ### Week 5 Day 3 20:00 25/7 took a short video ### Week 5 Day 4 05:00 26/7 photographed ### Week 5 Day 4 18:00 26/7 Measured (brace yourself). Plant 1: 126cm Plant 2: 107cm Plant 3: 93cm Plant 4: 94cm Plant 5: 97cm Plant 6: 96cm Plants 3 and 4 have stopped stretching now and are fully into flower. At 93cm and 94cm respectively, by the end of flower these girls may hit 1m but they wont go much more than that. Plant 2 looks to have just about stopped as well. It might go another 10cm overall. Plant 5 is still stretching but I think not much more. Plant 6 is still stretching and I am still expecting quite a bit of growth from her. Then there is plant 1. 126cm and still stretching. It has now grown beyond the height of the light. I hope it can somehow finish itself before it hits the top of the tent. I mean the secondary colas are over 1m already. It is a great shame this giant plant doesn't have more horizontal space to itself, either way it is absolutely shocking to see. I really do not want to super crop her, but am out of options. This grow, incidentally, constitutes the first and last time that I let any indoor cannabis plant go untrained. With basically 4 x 4 x 4 of usable space, training my plants is not really optional - and now you can all see why. This "50-70cm" strain has rapidly outgrown my space. RQS it may be time to revisit the height claims on this strain. Just saying. ### Week 5 Day 6 01:00 28/7 Rearranged the tent and photographed. I have been regularly rotating the plants and periodically moving them around. My problem is now plant one has already hit the top of the tent and there is no easy way to give it anymore space... still not sure what I am supposed to do but it's fine for now... tried to capture the problem with the photos. As well as plant 1, plant 6 looks like it's going to keep going for a good bit yet, and plant 2 is still putting a bit of height on. I took plenty of photos today to try and capture the essence of the jungle. It is quite unbelievable what these plants have done. I just cannot stop looking at them, they are magnificent. I have not fed for 4 days, will probably feed later I am just trying to slow them down a bit by not feeding them. It doesn't seem to be working. ### Week 5 Day 6 23:00 28/7 Defoliated heavily all plants. Fertigated 2l each. Removed some more lower side growth off the smallest plant (plant 3) to make space. Might leave it a few days before I photograph again. Plants 2, 3, and 4 are all well into flowering now, plant 5 is not far behind them, but plants 1 and 6 are still in preflower. :( What is really remarkable right now is the difference in colour between the plants further into flower vs the plants still in preflower. The plants in flowering have much darker leaves. --- 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 8 Phenotype #3

This week was smooth. Setting up for greatness

Die Hitze der letzten Wochen macht sich nun doch bemerkbar. Die Buds beginnen wieder zu foxtailen, und einige Blätter zeigen vertrocknete Spitzen und Ränder. Vermutlich liegt die Ursache bei mir, da ich die LED-Leistung früher an die Temperaturen hätte anpassen müssen. Wahrscheinlich konnte die Pflanze bei diesen Temperaturen und der Lichtleistung Wasser und Nährstoffe nicht mehr schnell genug transportieren. Die LED habe ich vorerst wieder auf 50 % reduziert und senke sie nächste Woche wahrscheinlich um weitere 10 %. Die Buds sehen dennoch gut aus, und einige ordentliche Kolben sind dabei. Jetzt gilt es, die Luftfeuchtigkeit im Blick zu behalten und für ausreichend Umluft zu sorgen. Beides liegt aktuell im grünen Bereich: Umluft ist ausreichend vorhanden, und die Luftfeuchtigkeit wird nur bei Regen kritisch. Für den Notfall steht ein Luftentfeuchter bereit. Die Parameter in Woche 14: Controller Einstellung Tag: Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit 24C°-26C°, 45% - 55% Controller Einstellung Nacht: Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit 24C°-26C°, 50% - 60% Durchschnittliche Tagestemperatur: 28,8C° Durchschnittliche Nachttemperatur: 25,3C° Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Tag: 48,9% Durchschnittliche Luftfeuchtigkeit Nacht: 52% Durchschnittlicher VPD Tag: 1,6 Durchschnittlicher VPD Nacht: 1,2 Durchschnittliche Bodenfeuchtigkeit in Mbar: 92 LED Leistung: 50% = 150 Watt Beleuchtungsdauer: 12 Stunden Umluft: Stufe 2 oszillierend

Diese Woche verlief ohne weitere Probleme. Alles entwickelt sich wie geplant. Die Thripse sind nach der Neemöl-Behandlung nicht mehr zu sehen – scheint gut gewirkt zu haben. Zur Sicherheit habe ich noch AC-Raubmilben ausgebracht, um eventuelle Nachzügler unter Kontrolle zu halten. Außerdem wurden ein paar Blätter entfernt, um die Luftzirkulation zu verbessern und mögliche Verstecke für Schädlinge zu minimieren. Die Pflanzen sehen gesund aus und wachsen kräftig weiter.

Ended week three with a flush. I haven't flushed her since purchase. Switched over from FF Open Sesame to FF Beastie Bloomz. Going to add molasses to the next feeding cycle. Any comments or suggestions ste always welcome. ✌️ Happy Holidaze and Happy Growing

Aloha Freunde der Sonne 😊 Die Tage vergehen und die Damen wachsen prächtig vor sich hin. Immer noch die Höhe der Mädels angleichen auch wenn mal was abbricht 😅 Viel Spaß

Die Narben werden jetzt langsam Pink 😝

Week started off good. 8 days in and we have great bud set . Tropicanna is such a fast flowering plant that in 8 days I have my poms beginning to show . Let’s goooo

Máme tu 36°C .vyzerajú zdravo.budúci týždeň budú búrky,uvidíme ako to prekonajú.po búrkach ich ešte ostrihám posledný krát.mier Bol čas tak som ich ostrihal teraz🤪

8. Woche Sticky Broccoli Auto von Zamnesia hat die Strapazen vom Mainlining Prozess hinter sich gelassen und konzentriert sich nun auf die Ausbildung der Blüten. Mir gefällt die Sorte wirklich sehr gut bis jetzt, stress steckt sie gut weg, arbeitet Fleißig und Produktiv. Wenn sie mir auch noch von der Wirkung gefällt, werde ich sie wohl auch in Zukunft nochmal ausprobieren und dann normal wachsen lassen 😊 Leider habe ich paar Probleme mit Mg durch mein Leitungswasser, Bittersalz hat sie schon bekommen 🙄

Geht langsam in Richtung Ernte, so 2 Wochen dann verpasse ich der Pflanze Flash Clean und Final Part von Terra Aquatica. Das ist dann auch nochmal 1 gute Woche. Die Trichome müssen für mich jetzt nicht Amber sein, bin mega ungeduldig.. Bin mal gespannt wieviel die Madame Orange Bud auf die Waage bringt.. Bye

Hi everyone 🤗 This week it looked more and more astonishing after opening the box a wonderful sweet smell wafts through the room 👍. A few days ago the Blue Cheese Phenotype 1 was harvested and placed in the dark room :-). This week both Kosher Tangie Kush phenotypes will be harvested 👍. Next week the Blue Cheese phenotypes 1 and 2 will be harvested ;-) everyone else needs a while 😀. I wish you all a nice week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 🌱👍
