Week 8: Flourishing in Week 4 of Flowering! Greetings, fellow cultivators! Prepare to be dazzled as we embark on a journey through the enchanted realm of our beloved Epsilon F1. In this week's installment, we witness the culmination of four weeks of flowering, a spectacle of botanical brilliance that leaves us in awe. Our Epsilon F1, like a celestial goddess, continues to captivate with her unparalleled beauty and grace. Each day brings new wonders as she flourishes under the tender care of her devoted grower. The once delicate buds have now swelled into majestic colas, adorned with a blanket of trichomes that glisten like a galaxy of stars against the night sky. But let us not overlook the journey that has brought us to this moment of splendor. From the humble beginnings of a tiny seed, our Epsilon F1 has weathered the trials and tribulations of growth with unwavering resilience. With each passing week, she has unfolded her true potential, reaching ever closer to botanical perfection. As we gaze upon her now, we are reminded of the magic that lies within the cannabis plant – a medicine that heals both body and soul, a gift from nature to be cherished and revered. With each puff, we are transported to a realm of tranquility and euphoria, where worries fade and serenity reigns supreme. But let us not forget the hands that tend to this earthly paradise. To Royal Queen Seeds, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for bestowing upon us the genetic marvel that is the Epsilon F1. To Aptus Holland, our steadfast companion on this journey, whose nutrients have nourished our plant from seedling to harvest. And to the grow diaries community, whose support and camaraderie have made this journey all the more rewarding. Ah, but there's a twist in our tale! As our Epsilon F1 enters this crucial phase of flowering, we've made a strategic adjustment to her nutrient regimen. We've stopped the addition of phosphorus (P) and increased potassium (K). Why, you ask? Because at this stage, our plant's demand for potassium is at its peak. Potassium plays a vital role in flower development, improving bud formation, density, and overall quality. By prioritizing potassium over phosphorus, we're ensuring that our Epsilon F1 receives the nutrients she needs to produce those big, frosty buds we all dream of. As we bid adieu to Week 8 and look ahead to the weeks to come, let us revel in the splendor of our Epsilon F1's flowering phase. May her beauty continue to inspire and her harvest be abundant. Until next time, happy growing, dear friends! #EpsilonF1FlowerPower #Week8FloralFantasy #BotanicalBrilliance #RoyalQueenSeedsGenetics #AptusHollandNourishment #GrowDiariesCommunityStrength Genetics -Epsilon F1 @rqs_esp @royalqueenseedssp @rqsglobal Food - @aptusholland @aptus_world @aptus_es @aptus_portugal @aptusbrasil @aptusplanttechaus @aptus_thailand @aptusplanttechnz @aptususa_official LES @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

Started flushing the biggest plant today the should have about another week & half left on it, all the other ones are still clear & cloudy! Fingers crossed everything goes good through harvest I have never flushed or done any of the harvest or cure process😅😬

Week 10: This will be the final update before Harvest: I will update post harvest after the dry and weigh. Day 64-66: Decided I would continue feeding them until I harvest since they could go 7 days longer. Albeit with a half dose of Calmg and Boost(micro). All White Cracks seem to be doing good. I realized a few days ago the outer plants underneath the blurple LEDs seemed to be showing slight signs of light stress(the leaves were bending away from the light instead of toward it). I lowered the Blurples a few days earlier so I raised them back up. These are some FROSTY plants... Day 67-70: Going good, plants under the blurples responded postively to raising the lights. Seems I was wrong last week about these smelling stronger than the 4AM, it's actually the other way around lmao. But these are still some great smelling plants! Can't wait to dry and weigh that thicc double bud and main cola from WC#1! Hope it's not too airy, they look like pretty dense buds! Really bummed that I have to harvest this weekend, I would have liked to let #2 and #3 go for another week, but it's all good! Next time! Still this will probably the dankest shit I've smoked in a very long time 😂😎 #1 is probably the most mature at this point with about 90% cloudy and a 5-10% amber. #2 and #3 are the same with about 70-80% cloudy and a few amber. This has been an awesome learning experience and I'm already thinking about ways to improve my next grow! These White Cracks have been quite resistant to my newbiness! Awesome plants to grow! Much easier to hanlde than the 4AM!

Week5 March 1st day 30 I transplanted one( the one with no broken branch) inti the 7gal today watered and did some LST I really hope it adapts to its new home I’ve never transplanted before I used extreme garden MYCOS hope it works also moved the light up a bit and plan on going 100% once I transplant the other one March 2nd transplanted the other one (broken branch one) my shop didn’t have 3.0😔😔😔😔😔😔😔 so i used DNC Great Lakes water only soil hopefully this works and I mixed some 3.0 I had left from the other pot cross fingers for nice transition to its new home March 5 been three days since transplant can’t really tell if they adapted to there new homes yet some sings of stretching since transplant I’ve never transplanted before and I’m not sure if they need water or not so imma chill let them go for couple more days then I’ll water scared to over water them right now since I transplanted them don’t want to over stress them other one in 3.0 seems little droopy to me compared to the one in Great Lakes but Great Lakes soil seems bit dry sooooo idk I’m going keep an eye on them

Die O.G. macht mega Spaß ! Sie reagiert gut auf die Nährstoffe und wächst echt gut. Sie kommt mittlerweile eine Fläche von 80x58cm ein. Vor 3 Tagen wurde die Lampe auf 12/12 gestellt. Der stretch beginnt nun auch langsam 💪🏻

Day 15 Flower (Day 57) The first day of week 3 of flower. I switched the light recipe in my main tent from the Flower Induction program to the Flower program now when the right girl is in flower. I also gave her 3 liters of pH 6.1 water. The left girl didn't need any water though. That was all today. Day 16 Flower (Day 58) All I did today was to give each girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water. Day 17 Flower (Day 59) I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 5.9 water today. It's a bit low maybe (added too much pH down and was too lazy to fix it) but should be alright. My pH is different each watering anyway, as I aim to optimize nutrient uptake by covering a broader pH range. The left girl didn't need any today as she drinks a lot less due to being smaller. That being said, she is now hitting the light :/ It was never my intention to grow her in such a confined space, but here we are. She should have been trained differently and vegged shorter to grow correctly in such a small space. I have ordered a new, taller tent which will arrive next week. Until then, she'll be snug, and I don't think I can take any canopy pics for a few days. I started brewing some compost tea following the same recipe as previously (worm castings, rock dust, biochar, lime, bentonite, neem meal, kelp meal, and molasses), but I upped the castings, the neem, and the kelp. Long overdue as it was over two weeks since last time. I will feed this tea (unfiltered) tomorrow after 24 hrs of brewing. Day 18 Flower (Day 60) Today I gave each girl 3 liters of pH 6.3 compost tea that brewed for 26 hours. I also added a few tablespoons worth of alfalfa seeds that I ran through a blender first to beat up into a powder. I didn't filter the tea, so all ingredients ended up as a top dressing that will get watered in as time goes. The small tent is packed, and the girl is pressing up against the light. It got to hold out until next week, so it is what it is. It is getting a bit cramped in the main tent as well, so I moved up the lights as far as I could without going full McGyver. It's the first time I grow this strain, but she sure is a stretcher. The weather has gotten warm here (finally!), but of course, now my tent is getting even hotter. I'm trying to combat it to some extent by running the extractor fan more. That will get the temp down a bit, but unfortunately, it will also cause the humidity to drop. I put in my small humidifier to help with that, so the VPD is still in a reasonable range. Day 19 Flower (Day 61) I defoliated the right girl today by removing some leaves and branches low down where the lights don't reach. The left girl must also be done, but I'll work on her when she is between tents next week. I also gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water. That was it for today. Day 20 Flower (Day 62) All I did today was to water each girl with 3 liters of pH 6.7 water. I hope that my new tent arrives sooner rather than later since the left girl is pushing up so much against the light that the top flowers are starting to get burnt. Wonderful... :( I've turned down the light as low as it goes (15%), that's pretty much all I can do except turning off the light completely. Day 21 Flower (Day 63) The last day of the third week of flower and things are moving along nicely except for the crowded tent, but hopefully, the new tent will solve that in a day or two. The left girl is 85 cm tall (17 cm increase in a week), and the right girl is 117 cm tall (also a 17 cm increase in a week). There wasn't much to do today. I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water and snapped a few pics. That's all.

Looking nice;))))

Time to cut

all 3 plants are the same strain from the same seed provider. I used Peet pellets for the first time and I am extremely disappointed. they all popped within 18 hrs, it was a promising start, but I think the webbing holding the pods together is constricting the roots on the plant to the left. there was a devastating transplant that had damaged some roots but the other 2 plants seem to be....ok patience... if you noticed I had a heating mat for about the first full month of growth, I live in an old apartment and we have old windows that don't hold the heat, I wanted the plants to grow and develop enough before I took it out of the room. this may have stunted growth for a few days this past week but I believe it was a must to keep the plants health... they were my last 3 seeds SPIDER FARMER... I have had this light for under a year and was very lucky to get the adjustable dimmer when I did order it...its an incredible tool for growing and since we don't want light in the tent we can't have a digital readout showing power from the dimmer and this is why I got the "EVE SMART PLUG"... it works perfectly with the SPIDER FARMER light and will help me perfect my future grows. SECRET JARDIN.... y'all need to do something about these loud 6" oscillating fans....I thought one was a fluke until I plugged the second in..... terrible, absolutely garbage...

Was a fun harvest we got lots of kick ass buds with excellent trichome coverage, gonna hang dry then cure! Update : We got her tested and she tested at over 30% with a overall of 27.58! Beautiful plant!

Very exciting as the tops are starting take formation and really become more developed.

16/07/2022 derniers jours de la 3eme semaine de croissance ,les jours passent mais ne se ressemble pas! après une monté a 32 degré j'ai finis par résoudre se problème non sans mal, puis donné un peu d'espacement entre les pots ainsi qu'un rafraichissement au niveau végétation. j'ai hate de voir arriver les 1ere tete. n'essaye pas fais le. maitre yoda

🌿 Nectar Drip – Week 5 Report Early Vegetative Development (12/12 from Seed) Zamnesia Seeds x TICAL – Pack #268 Note on timing: This is labeled as Week 5 in GrowDiaries / Grow Iris, even though in real growth rhythm we are closer to Week 3 of true vegetative development. This offset comes from starting the diary early and using photo-heavy germination documentation. We’ll continue to clarify this each week for transparency and consistency. ⸻ 🌱 Growth Overview – Training Reveals Character This week confirmed something important: training doesn’t slow a plant — it reveals it. Last week, we began Low Stress Training (LST) on one selected plant using clamps to gently guide the main stem close to horizontal. At the time, she was the smallest plant of the Nectar Drip group. This week, her response has been nothing short of beautiful. Despite being smaller, she reacted with: • accelerated side branching • clear apical redistribution • strong node activation • healthy, vibrant green growth She is opening up, spreading out, and showing structure — not by force, but by invitation. ⸻ ✂️ Training Focus – Low Stress, High Precision The trained plant is now the focus of this week’s report, because she’s telling us a story worth listening to. What’s being done: • Main stem gently bent and held near-parallel to the soil • Leaves progressively opened and repositioned • Lower growth sites intentionally exposed to light • No snapping, no crushing, no stress points This is classic Low Stress Training (LST) — the goal is not control, but redirection. What we’re seeing: • Lower branches actively pushing upward • Tighter internodal spacing • A wider, flatter structure • Balanced energy distribution She’s currently entering her fourth node, and already the lower growth is responding like it knows it’s been invited to participate. You can clearly see this in the macro photos — the symmetry, the confidence, the way each branch is waking up. ⸻ 📸 Macro Session – When the Plant Earns the Spotlight This week, the trained plant earned her moment. She was taken into the studio for a dedicated macro session — and she deserved it. The photos reveal: • clean, healthy tissue • vibrant green coloration • active growth points • no signs of stress or hesitation Up close, it becomes obvious: this plant isn’t struggling — she’s thinking. ⸻ 🌿 The Other Plants – Natural Expression The remaining Nectar Drip plants are not being trained as intensively. For them: • leaves are gently tucked • some bending is done to guide light penetration • no structural manipulation beyond basic canopy management They are: • taller • more vertical • opening naturally • branching in their own rhythm They look fantastic — healthy, lush, and confident — but their expression is clearly different from the trained plant. Same genetics, same room, same feed… different guidance. This contrast is exactly why this approach is valuable. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment & Room Conditions (Unchanged) Conditions remain consistent with last week: • Relative Humidity: ~65% • Day Temperature: ~26 °C • Night Temperature: ~18 °C • CO₂: ~666 ppm • Lamp Distance: ~1.70 m • Substrate Temperature: ~22 °C • Solution Temperature: ~22 °C Airflow continues to increase slightly, encouraging movement and stem strength without stress. ⸻ 💡 Light – Growing Into Intensity PPFD continues its gradual rise: • Previously: ~500 PPFD • Current range: 500 → 600 PPFD, depending on plant height Once again, the plants are growing toward the light, not being forced into it. This progressive increase matches structure and development perfectly. ⸻ Nutrition – Stay the Course Nutrition remains unchanged, because the plants are clearly happy. • Terra Grow • Power Roots • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Vita Race (foliar) Leaf color, posture, and response all confirm that stability is working. This is a deliberate mix of mineral precision and biological support, based on experience and personal philosophy. As always: everything shared here reflects my own experience, opinions, lessons, and mistakes, offered openly to the community. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect / What Not to Expect Expect: • continued lateral development on the trained plant • more defined structure • increased canopy complexity • visible divergence between trained vs untrained plants Do Not Expect: • instant size catch-up • explosive vertical growth • stress reactions The trained plant may not become the tallest — but she may become the most interesting. ⸻ 🤝 Gratitude Much love and respect to: • Zamnesia Seeds • TICAL (artist and collaborator) • Plagron • Future of Grow And thank you to everyone following this journey — supporters, critics, silent readers, and longtime friends. ⸻ 🌟 Week 5 Summary • Training is working • Genetics are solid • Differences are emerging • Structure is forming • The story is getting richer She was the smallest. She’s responding the strongest. And she’s just getting started.

Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Hello everyone 😎 Week 6 of flower for the Strawberry🍓 Time to Flush💦 In love with the colors Photos are coming for the 420 Xmas contest🎄 The smell is divine super fruity 🤤 She’s under the Mars Hydro FCE-6500+adlite for the last Pusshhh

Che dire ragazzi... Odori fortissimi nell'aria, come vedete gli insetti stanno a pranzo e cena sulle mie piccole.. Pazienza! Non dovrebbe mancare tanto, penso 2 settimane al raccolto, sono riuscito a farcele vedere di giorno finalmente è sono contento di poterle condividere con tutti voi 🙏🏽 aggiunte un po di noci in più, anche se si vede un po di fox talking, il resto perfetto.

Defoliated to improve airflow and re tied branches down to create a more even canopy. Will re ammend the medium with 2 cups of worm casting, 1.5 tbps azomite and Gaia Green 4 4 4 on the last day of week 4. Recharge in every watering during veg.

1 of the glookies had fallen off, lack of ventilation I think. She feels better since I moved the fan and the air circulates better. First fertilizer intake for my babies this week 🤗
