the roots broke the plastic basket😱 Very strong genetic, very recommended👽

Hello growmies! Welcome to week six of An Epsilon Adventure! Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow! So here we are at week six and every one of these girls are at a slightly different stage, it is quite fascinating to watch them develop one after the other. Today I made the last adjustment to the light possible. I removed the adjustable hangers and affixed a carabiner which I tightly tied to the top of the tent bar. There is about 1.5 inches of space between the top of the shade and the tallest part of the roof of the tent. Plant 1 is already taller than this, and it looks like plant 6 and maybe even plant 5 are going to join it. It's a madness. I am sure you have already looked at the photos but just in case you do what I do and read the diary first... Here is my assessment at the beginning of week 6: Plant 1: Height: 1st (137cm) - what can I say about this ridiculous plant? Day 36... 137cm tall. I have had to raise the light to as high as it is physically possibly to raise it and it's still not high enough. She is done stretching now, she may add 3-5cm over the next week or so but I don't expect more than that, so her top of her main cola going to have to develop above the level of the light. Nothing I can really do, nothing wise anyway. What a monster plant. Maturation: 4th - early into flower - bud sites developing, pistils just starting to explode. Plant 2: Height: 4th (111cm) - this plant has been there or there abouts as the tallest plant for most of the grow, but she has topped out at 111cm. She will gain some during flower but not much more than a few centimetres. Very impressive plant, loads of bud sites, really big strong secondary branches. This one is going to be colas galore. Maturation: 3rd - well into flower - all white pistils Plant 3: Height: 6th (95cm) For some brief days the tallest plant in the room, she peaked early and is now the "shortest" at "only" 95cm for this "50-70cm" strain. She is utterly dwarfed by four of her five sisters in just about every department, being quite a bit smaller even than plant 4 (although I have removed the most lower nodes from this plant). Compared with her sisters she is almost a runt... except that she is 25cm taller than the strain top-end average and matches the maximal height of the previous tallest Epsilon F1 plant I am aware of. It's not that she is small, actually she's pretty big for an Epsilon F1, it's just that the rest of the girls are on another level altogether. Plants 1, 5 and 6 are all absolute beasts. Maturation: 1st - well into flower - first shades of brown in some pistils. Plant 4: Height: 5th (98cm) although only 3cm taller than plant 3, overall she is a much larger plant. Her secondary nodes are the same height as plant 3. Maturation: 2nd - well into flower - all white pistils Plant 5: Height: 3rd (113cm) - one of the two thick/short girls who have grown at a similar pace all along - she is further ahead than plant 6 but not by much and I think she will probably exceed 120cm this week, though I do not think she will outgrow plant 1 or 6. Maturation: 5th - early into flower - bud sites developing. Plant 6: Height: 2nd (120cm) - my predictions were correct about this girl and her continued growth. I now think she might actually outgrow plant 1, which is quite worrying. Maturation: 6th - early into flower - bud sites forming - by far the least mature plant of the six. ### Week 6 Day 2 23:00 30/7 Photographed. Raised the light. Rotated the plants. Inspected, measured and reported on each plant. ### Week 6 Day 3 23:00 31/7 It has not escaped my attention that the plants that are more advanced into flower have darkened and have some burnt tips. I need to flush them and lay off the base nutes a bit. These plants are just growing and maturing so quickly that I cannot keep up. ### Week 6 Day 5 02:30 2/8 Fertigated 3l of nutrient mix, without either COCO A or B. ### Week 6 Day 6 01:30 3/8 photographed --- 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 ==========

21.05.2023 Tag 16 - Beide Pflanzen in 15L Endtopf mit BioBizz All-Mix gepflanzt - Mykhorizza beim Umtopfen hinzugefügt - Angegossen mit 0,75L Wasser pro Pflanze, da Wurzelballen noch nass - Aufgedüngt mit 2ml Acti-Vera, 2ml Bio-Heaven und 0.75ml CalMag pro Liter Wasser Ich weiß, es gibt die Debatte, ob man Autoflower umtopfen sollte oder nicht. Ich habe mich dafür entschieden, damit ich a) eine Chance habe die Wurzeln mit Mykorhizza zu impfen und b) damit die Erde so lange wie möglich locker bleibt. Ich nutze Mycotrex von BioTabs. Welche Erfahrungen habt ihr mit Mykorhizza gemacht? Gibt es eine bessere Methode als die Sporen in Form von Pulver beim Umtopfen hinzuzugeben? Eine Methode, bei der es vielleicht sogar ohne umtopfen geht? ################################################################################################################################################################################################## 23.05.2023 Tag 18 - Beginn LST - jede Pflanze soll im Grund wie ein Dreieck geformt sein, um den Platz im Zelt (Quadratisch) optimal zu nutzen ################################################################################################################################################################################################## 24.05.2023 Tag 19 - gegossen mit 3L Wasser @ PH 6.2 pro Pflanze - gedüngt mit 1ml Bio-Grow, 2 ml Bio-Heaven und 2ml Acti-Vera pro Liter Wasser

Tutto perfetto 👌 a settimana prossima. Buon anno a chi legge 😉

Day 37 Sept 4th - huge growth today. These girls are almost taller than my first plant now, and they still got more time to stretch! Super excited for these plants, I got 1 plant with a perfect circle canopy and the other 2 are still taking shape. Canopys are evening out very well now, LOST TRACK OF THE FIM PLANT LOL, I will find her tomorrow and point her out. Day 39 Sept 6th - Just insane growth on these girls. Flower stretch turned them into monsters!

Gave them rain water when they needed it 👍

25.02. Day 73. Blüte 32. Hallo Leute. So ein Gewächs ist was schönes. Oben wirds purple (Lichtstress denke ich). Ansonsten alles gut soweit. Also für meine Verhältnisse. 26.02. D, und heute leaf coat genutzt. Plus ich glaube die ist genetik purple.. 27.02. Leute nicht vergessen, ist ne automatische. Vielleicht deswegen purple. Auf jeden Fall wird es mehr.

Cuarta semana, ya van tomando buen tamaño en general todas las plantas, estoy aplicando los fertilizantes de Plagron combinados en el mismo riego, pronto comenzaré a subir la ventilación y cuando tengan buen tamaño las paso a flora, veremos que tal crecen!!

The grow was super easy, steady growth and sturdy strength, no deficiencies..fed 3/4 strength General Hydroponics nutrient line. Ended up topping her three times, giving her a total of 10 tops. Overall medium height with an amazing manifold and unbreakable stem. Harvested on day 65, an absolutely great strong structure being able to hold it's weight of 101 Grams⚖️️. An easy grow with an amazing taste, smell, and smoke. Recommended completely for all growers 💯

Hello fellow growers. Croptober is here. Still displaying flowering on the week because I only harvested 2 of 5 plants. I checked the trichromes and they were T-d off and all milky white. I will wait a few more weeks for the remaining plants. The goal is to have a couple plants at the beginning of the harvest window and harvest the rest when they are more mature and ripe. The 2 plants I harvested were the bigger ones and each yielded about a pound each. One was the tall purple nug plant and the other was the bushy one. The shorter one smelled like gas once you got all the flowers bundled together, definitely can smell the sour diesel in the genetics. The tall purple one also smelled gassy, but also fruity. I would describe it as a mango/orange smoothie kind of fruity aroma. I didn't get a lot of popcorn and even the smallest nugs looked at least like a grams worth. The bud was sticky and gave a lot of finger hash. The leaves also looked packed with trichromes so I will save them for making medicine. The plants didn't grow as tall as I expected. I've honestly had indicas grow bigger, but the quality of the herb is there. Next time I will start these seeds earlier in the year to get bigger plants. I started them in May, but usually start my seeds in late March to get the roots to develop earlier. Usually they get stunted in height when you start them early, but the roots are developing. Once they take off, they tend to grow bigger because they already have an established root system. IMO BTW. The DRY. I placed the nugs in one of those multi-level mesh containers for drying. I used the top three levels. They started off displaying around 85% humidity on the first day and on the third day are now down to 68% humidity at 76°F. They are not moldy. I handle them once daily so they don't flatten out too much on one side. This is the down side of using this type of drying technique. By the fourth or fifth day, they should be ready to start jarring. I've left them longer in the past, but they start getting really dry if you leave them in the mesh too long. Smells like it's going to be at least a two to three month cure to get that smell out, but the one I already had curing from 2 weeks ago is already smokeable. We will see how good it gets by the end of the year. I can't wait to see how the remaining plants turn out. I will let them go as far as I can to see how the smoke differs from the early and the late harvest. Sativa dominant genetics should go at least another month, but I will start with the let's check in 2 weeks rule. Thanks to everyone following. This has been a great year for growing.

No great results, just notice a small growth of the buds size, leaves look dark green so I’m removing fish mix from the fertilisers

This brings the Journal up to speed. So going to start the 48 hour FLush this upcoming Sunday as well as going to move it to 48 hours of light insted of 48 hours of darkness. Then straight into the Freeze dryer to bring it down to 60% humidity in the bud and then to the curing jars. Going to be Timber 2 days into Week 9 of FLower. 1/20/2023 Week 8 (Day 5)- Flower- Day 107 overall T - 2 days until start 48 hour Flush T - 2 days until Start 48 hours of Light T - 4 days until TIMBER!!! 1/22/2023 Week 8 (Day 7) -FLower- Day 109 Overall Flush Day and 48 hours of Light. I subscibe to Dr. Bruce Bugbee's suggestion that production is under light instead of under darkness so I no longer do 48 hours of Darkness, I go 48 hours of light before Chop, sending my plants on a marathon run before I Cut. Here is Dr. Bruce on basics of lighting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID9rE5JewVg T-2 days until TIMBER

She's looking as pretty as anything this week!! I think she's almost there. Just waiting on more pistils to change colour. Trichomes are mostly milky. I note she is quite smelly!!!!!!

Von den Trichomen her brauch der gesamte Grow noch ca. 1 Woche. Lemon Pie hingegen ist bereits heute geerntet worden, normalerweise achte ich darauf alle gleichzeitig zu ernten, aber in diesem Fall war der Reifeunterschied zu groß. Allen Buds geht es soweit gut und wie man auf den Bildern sehen kann sind alle ordentlich eingeschneit. Dadurch das nur noch 4 Pflanzen im Zelt sind, kann ich alle rotierend umstellen, damit alle Buds gleich ausreifen. Dieser Grow wird der letzte in meinem alten Zelt sein, da einige Streben bereits gebrochen sind und das Zelt über die Jahre Löcher bekommen hat, wodurch die Geruchsfilterung praktisch nicht mehr vorhanden ist. Ich plane mir die HOMEbox Ambient Q100 zu kaufen, da ich viel gutes darüber gelesen habe und ich mein Setup besser verbauen kann. Falls jemand einen anderen Vorschlag hat, würde ich mich natürlich auch freuen. Viel Ertrag und feste Buds für euch alle!

Freunde der Sonne, die Dritte Woche ist fast vorbei und sie entwickelt sich soweit ganz gut. Ich fahre immer noch 360 PPFD. Gegossen wurde sie zum Ende der Woche mit 0,5L Nährlösung. Ich habe mich dazu entschieden die Komponenten Grow, Bloom und Top Max nur zu 50% und die anderen Zusätze zu 100% nach Schema zuzugeben. Ich bin gespannt ob das ausreichend sein wird. Bis nächste Woche. 🏻

So there is actually very little work this week .. She has been a real joy to grow so far.. I do understand what they meant by pheno-hunting...
