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.
