Greetings, fellow cultivators! Welcome to the Week 7 Report on our magnificent Epsilon F1, where the journey of green greatness continues to unfold with each passing day. Prepare yourselves for a detailed and immersive exploration of our botanical wonder as we delve deep into the heart of her flourishing beauty. Let's begin with a momentous decision: the Day 21 Flower Defoliation. With careful consideration and a keen eye for detail, I embarked on this transformative journey, gently removing select fan leaves to allow for increased light penetration and airflow. It's like giving our Epsilon F1 a botanical makeover, revealing her true splendor beneath the foliage canopy. This strategic pruning ensures that every bud site receives the attention it deserves, setting the stage for a bountiful harvest of epic proportions. But that's not all! As we bid farewell to the defoliation process, it's time to release all the bindings and restraints that were used to guide and train our green goddess throughout her growth journey. With a sense of liberation and pride, I untangle each tie, allowing our Epsilon F1 to stretch her leafy limbs and reach for the heavens. It's like setting a bird free from its cage, unleashing her full potential to soar to new heights of botanical glory. Now, let's talk about the environment. The TrolMaster controls have been instrumental in maintaining the perfect climate for our Epsilon F1's growth and development. From temperature and humidity to light and CO2 levels, these precision instruments ensure that our green queen receives the optimal conditions for flourishing. It's like conducting a symphony of growth, orchestrating each element to harmonize in perfect unity. And of course, we cannot forget the nourishment that sustains our botanical masterpiece. The Aptus Holland nutrients continue to be the lifeblood of our grow space, providing a balanced diet of essential macro and micronutrients. From the Micromix Soil to the Substrate Buffer Powder and All-in-One Pellet, each component plays a vital role in nurturing our plant to perfection. But let us not overlook the unsung heroes behind the scenes. Shout-outs to Royal Queen Seeds for bestowing upon us the genetic marvel that is the Epsilon F1, a testament to their dedication to excellence in breeding. To Aptus Holland, our main sponsor, whose unwavering support and innovative nutrients have propelled our grow to new heights of success. To TrolMaster, for providing the tools that empower us to create the optimal growing environment for our plants. And to Grow Diaries, the platform and community that fosters collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and camaraderie among growers worldwide. As we bid adieu to Week 7, let us revel in the glory of our Epsilon F1's progress and look forward with anticipation to the weeks ahead. Happy growing, dear readers, and may your gardens be forever green!

Week 11: So by now the plant has stopped or at least slowed down drastically on the stretching. It’s stacking up on the buds and some of them fattening up amazingly. Trichomes are generally milky white but still have some clear ones so going to wait a bit more than probably start flushing next week, but obviously depending on the coming days and how it develops.

Sunday, 07-08-2022 Plant looking OK. LST'd stems almost fully over pot edge and nodes on the stems developing well. Plant is still lagging behind The Church - Test Grow #6. All plants currently growing seem smaller when I compare the pics to my previous grows at the same age. Only one feed this this past week as I allowed the pots to dry out from the rain in the previous week. Supplemented feed yesterday with my Beneficial Booster. I made a mistake when preparing and put in double the amount of molasses but the plants seem to be tolerating it so far this morning.

26Jul Made more rectangles. A budsite in 95% of them, too. Flowering really setting in now. Smells! 28Jul Lollipopped more aggressively - could've done more earlier. Took all small shoots that didn't reach the canopy. Managed to fill out 95% of the squares. 29Jul Realized I never un-dimmed the lights after lollipopping... Oh well. LOVE this canopy...

Super proud of the way the manifold is turning out. So symmetrical! Between now and the next update I’ll be doing some defoliating. Get rid of some of the lower fans, create some airflow up top, and possibly remove the lowest set of growth tips on each of my main stems. Plant is flourishing and healthy but those leaves could maybe be more vibrant. Might be time to start introducing nutes to the reservoir. Edit: Added a video of the plant after defoliating. Ended up removing the bottom 2 nodes of growth except for the outer fan leaf on the top one. Also moved the soft ties up one node and adjusted where they’re anchored so they pull the stems apart more. Can’t wait to see what she looks like in a week!

May 31st Everything is looking good after the LST from last week, I said I was going to swap them into flower and I realized that I should wait another week or so as they will be going into a new home so to speak. Updates coming next week for that. Doesn't look like to many PH issues anymore or whatever was happening but the plants seem a bit happier now June 1st I Figured today would be a good day to do a bit of defoliation on these girls in order to get some more light down to the newer growth. I didn't take a ton off as you can see, but for the size of the plant I suppose it was a decent amount. I read somewhere that a general rule of thumb is only defoliate roughly 30% of the plant at most. I'm not to sure if it is true but I tried to stay within that general rule. June 2nd, I decided since I would have them in veg for at least a little while long I would top them again. After topping I gave them some water and nutrients. I know I said I would do straight water for the next one but I went for it anyways as it seems the flowering mixture may be giving it some deficiency's. So I gave them the recommended feeding for heavy veg growth. I gave about 3L to the bigger plant and around 2L to the smaller plant (as it was still a bit moist but it wasn't damp). My crappy soil tester was saying my soil was at around 8PH so I figured I would aim to feed around 6ph. With the small amount of runoff from the smaller plant I did A PH test and the PH seemed to be around the 4.5-5ph area. My liquid ph meter arrived broken so I am waiting for the new one, therefore I am using the general hydroponics liquid test kit. I presume my soil ph is lower then the water I have given seeing as it went from 6ph water to around 4.5. Next feeding I will aim to feed at 7PH. With the defoliation I just made sure that the tie downs were decently tight still and moved what I thought needed to be moved. June 3rd,4th Not a ton to update on. I didn't get any pictures for these 2 days. June 5th Some obvious problems going on with the bigger plant. I am guessing it is the PH issue but I am still unsure. The one browned leaf I accidentally squished in the tie down while I was low stress training it so it got a bit damaged. Other then that the plants are growing decent. Im not sure why I didn't have more pictures for today but I mainly took problems of the problem areas. June 6th Not much going on still. They are still just hanging out not doing to much. It was a busy work week so pictures in general were a bit lazy. I will try to get more for the upcoming weeks. Big news for next week!

Die Blüte Dreams beeindruckt mich immernoch mit ihrer Wuchsform. Selbst durch dass Supercropping bildet Sie einfach nur einen Trieb als Haupttrieb aus. Daher gehe ich nun davon aus, dass dies die erste Sorte in meinem Anbau ist, welche einfach nicht getopt werden sollte. Und dennoch wächst sie super weiter. Bin auf das Ergebnis absolut gespannt.

For the past month, the humidifier has been an issue putting out way too much humidity; often leaving water in the bottom of the tent. In addition, the temperatures are also out of control. I added an AC last week to keep the temperature below 80. I finally determined the exhaust vent is also broken and has been for some time. AC Infinity does not extend the warranty to the replacement parts. I guess that makes sense since they would be in a state of perpetual free replacements. I bought a new one from Amazon that came with a new controller which is different from the controller 69 currently using. I decided that while it is very inconvenient and inefficient to monitor the tent through the day, I would rather finish this Frostbanger run without introducing a new unknown variable. I will continue using 3 circulating fans, the 4” exhaust vent from my 3x3. I have the AC pushing air in and the exhaust pulling air out. This creates a neutral pressure tent environment-neither positive nor negative. It looks like growth has stopped and plant height has been reached. Now is the time for buds to fatten and frost up. All 6 of them are short remaining less than 3 ft. They range from 15 to 31 inches. #4, 5 &6 are showing some fade, particularly #4. Upon opening the tent, a melon smell comes off the buds if I get close, and more stickiness was observed during the process of defoliation. They are living up to the new strain’s name. #5 is the frostiest followed by #2. Wow week 3 of flower and that much frost already. Before FastBuds announced the strain name and characteristics, I was disappointed that FBA2502 could be an indica sleepy strain but the universe provides what you need at the time. The new strain profile indicates a whopping 29%THC with mainly sativa uplifting, euphoric, social effects with sweet fruity flavors which I love and enjoy. In addition, I recently bought a dap press and this strain is frosty and resinous. She will be great to press for live rosin. FBA2502 is FROSTBANGER. Meet Frostbanger Auto, an autoflowering and Indica-leaning hybrid packing a staggeringly high THC content averaging 29%, making this one of the most potent strains on the market. It was created by Fast Buds through crossbreeding Gorilla Glue and Chemdawg, two equally iconic strains. Growers must know that these difficult-to-grow plants will pose specific challenges in terms of environmental control and nutrition, making them best suited for cultivators with some experience under their belt. The flowering cycle is short, averaging only 50 days, and yields are usually around 300g/m². The Frostbanger Auto flavor and aroma are both mouthwatering with a delightful combination of sweet, fruity, and flowery notes. The high is mainly Sativa-driven with uplifting and happiness-inducing effects that lead to euphoria and a general sense of well-being. You might feel sociable and talkative, but too spacey to say something. Following this surge of energy comes a deepening sense of relaxation, leaving you sedated and completely at ease with the world. Due to its potency and these long-lasting effects, medical patients hail Frostbanger Auto for treating chronic pain, stress, and even depression. Measurements: #1 15” #2 20” #3 17” #4 30” #5 31” #6 24” Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Start of week 4. GG4 has recovered nicely from the stress she experienced during week 3. She handled the 7 day stretch between feedings with minimal issues. Until next week, happy growing everyone!

🤗🤗🤩🤩😍😍🔥🔥💪🏼💪🏼🤪🤪 This girl is pretty! 😍 And smells sooo good!! Today is day 77! She’s been getting straight water for over a week and she’s almost ready to harvest! 🤩 She didn’t get very big but she seems thick! (And would be a perfect!! Wedding bouquet! 😘🙃) On Sunday I pulled the center of the plant open some and it was pretty green in there so trying to give that part some more time! Other then that, we are super excited to see how she taste! 😋🤩😍 Check me out and show some love on Instagram @greengirl420mipotfarm and our other grows @mi.pot.farm here on grow diaries & Instagram 🤗 🔥 🌲 puff puff passs 💨 💨

Weather been a bit bi-polar wet conditions cause a bit of bud rot( dense n sticky)....remove those rest of the tree seem good.....gonna treat for some of these pest that came about from wet condition....n she should be good for the nxt 400 sprint once weather don't get bi-polar or might have to settle for an early harvest..let's see lol ..#happy growing

Hello Diary, I'm starting a new round on my little farm, the 18th since I started growing these beautiful plants. There are again three different Autoflowering strains at the Farm: Cherry Pie Auto, Purple Lemonade Auto and one of the legendary strains White Widow Auto. This journal will be dedicated to the Purple Lemonade Automatic. To begin with, I will write a few words about Purple Lemonade Auto itself. Purple Lemonade Auto ranks as one of the strongest autoflowering strains available and offers sweet, fruity, and floral flavors to boot. Not only that, but she races to harvest at lightning speed and delivers ample returns. Breeders from RQS created this variety by starting out with Purple Haze, a legendary sativa-dominant strain known for its euphoric high and sweet and spicy flavor. Then, they added Lemon Skunk to the mix to add an uplifting effect and boatloads of skunky phytochemicals. Finally, Sweet Skunk Auto was selected to contribute speedy growth and more mouth-watering flavors. Purple Lemonade Auto emerged from this triad as a fast and potent indica-dominant hybrid. Purple Lemonade Auto seeds produce vigorous and fast-growing plants that burst from sprout to harvest in just 10–12 weeks. The plant's indica and ruderalis genetics are really put on display when it comes to its height and internodal spacing. Plants remain quite compact, both indoors and out, but hardly to the detriment of yield quantity. Indoor plants maintain a stealthy height of 60–100cm but churn out 425–475g/m². SET-UP ON MY LITTLE FARM: Box - Secret Jardin DS120W 120x60x178 Lights - MIGRO ARAY 4 - 240W Ventilation - TT Silent-M 100 Filter - Primaklima filter PK 100/125 Fan - Oscillating Koala Fan Soil - BioBizz Light - Mix Pot - 11L fabric pots Seed - Royal Queen Seeds Nutrition - RQS Organic nutrition Let's officially start the diary. 16/07/2024 Planting plants. This time I decided on 11 lit. fabric pots, my dear friends at RQS sent me these nice pots and it's not like this is my first time using them. They are great to handle and prevent me from over watering the plants. For soil, I use BioBizz's Light Mix, mixed with Easy Boost organic nutrition in the form of pellets. I put 50g of pellets on the 11 liter pot. After that I put Seeaweed, 1g/lit and finally Mycorrhiza Mix which I put 5g/lit. After that, I mixed the soil in the pot well and soaked it with water. I put Seed Booster in the water, a new product from the rich range of organic nutrients from RQS. I made a hole in the middle of a few centimeters and put a seed inside. I did the same with the other two strains and after that I put them in the grow box. 20/07/2024 In the morning I sprinkled the surface of the soil with water, not too much, and by the end of the day all three plants had sprouted. 21/07/2024 I watered the plants, I gave each approximately 1 liter of water to which I added Seed Booster again. Before that, I photographed the plants. 23/07/2024 Watering. I repeated the same procedure as two days earlier. That's all from me for now, I'm looking forward to a new trip as always. See you soon.

Bueno esta semana fue un cambio total. Cambié la alimentación por toda la línea top crop. Hice un riego de 500 ml con 1 ml de top veg , 1ml de Green explosion Y 0,50 aprox de deeper y barrier. A los dos días regué con 300 ml y 1 ml de top veg. El próximo riego lo voy a hacer con 500 ml de agua sola. Para luego volver a empezar como con el primer riego nada más que con 2 ml de top veg por riego y tal vez ya no utilice deeper y agregue big one. Debería inclinarla un poco más ? Solo voy a realizar lst. No voy a hacer poda apical . Saludos 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

Estas niñas dieron un “estirón” bien bueno. Después de que empezamos a subir la dosis de alimento se noto el crecimiento vegetal más acelerado. Además aplicamos king crab ( bacterias de greatwithemyco) para potenciar el desarrollo de raíces ! Y se nota 👌🏻 Ya están con un pan de raíces bien fuertes por lo tanto, se van de trasplante a maceta de 7L.
