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 ==========

She grew up nicely very healthy and strong and she produced a decent amount of organic clean cannabis, It's great and just what I work for because I'm a patient that needs to grow his weed and doing it making sure I grow them naturally and organically. The result is a very fruity and and tropical aroma, the purple color makes her even more beautiful. It's just a dream man, I love it, I just love to grow this strain, the 4 plants I grew had the same aroma very tropical and fruity, super sweet.

Holà 😃 Cette semaine la Big Bang qui accompagnait les deux Royal Domina a été retiré de la tente, ces deux dernières ont donc tout l’espace pour elles et ont eu le droit à un palissage pour homogénéiser la canopée. Les nuances violettes s’intensifient chaque jour un petit peu plus, particulièrement sur le « phéno #2 », très agréable a regardé 🤩 L’odeur quand à elle est très crémeuse et fruitée. Les dosages d’engrais commencent à être réduit pour bientôt commencé le rinçage au Power clean de Bio Technology, qui a fait ses preuves sur la OG BubbleGum Auto que vous pouvez retrouver sur mon profil ;) À noter aussi que le panneau Mars Hydro 300W est très efficace, j’en suis ravie Je vous souhaite à tous une agréable semaine et bon grow ! 👍

Its been pretty smooth this week, only mistake was that the light was to close so I got lightburn and bleaching on 2 tops, lesson learned. The SF4000 is still put at 85% and im still slowly cutting down the nitrogen, im currently feeding 2:1:1 ratio of (4-18-38/magnesium sulphate/calcium nitrate)

OG Kush, the name alone brings up images of something totally chill. But this little guy isn't just about having a cool name, he's got serious growing potential. From the moment that first shoot broke through the soil, I knew this seedling was something special. The leaves are a perfect shade of dark green, and they've got that signature OG thickness. I'm excited to see how this one develops – it's gonna be a fun journey watching OG grow into a big, beautiful plant!

42 Fast Buds – Test FBA 2506 | Day 72 The result exceeded all expectations! The main cola of this beauty reached 27 cm in height and nearly 25 cm in circumference! Dense, resinous buds completely covered in trichomes. The plant structure is compact but productive — the side colas are not far behind the top. Grow details: • Nutrients: Xpert Nutrients • Light: Mars Hydro FC-3000 EVO • Pot size: 11 L • CO₂: used during veg and for 4 weeks of flowering • Stage: 72 days, with ~15% amber trichomes • Aroma: very strong and pungent, reminiscent of chemicals — sharp and powerful Strain: Test FBA 2506 (Fast Buds) Type: Autoflowering (exact genetics still unknown) Harvest and trichome check coming soon!

Right so basically, a week ago today marked a month for these ladies and because I had a broken phone it was very hard to keep up to date with the journal but hopefully now I can keep on top of this grow for you guys. It's been 35 days since germination for the Rhino Ryder and Afghan Kush. I'm using soil from the back garden and now that there is a bit of foliage, with the watering etc. The humidity has risen to a level I'm not happy with to which I'm going to invest in a portable dehumidifier to bring down the moisture in the air. I had to defoliate as it was getting really bushy and the fan was struggling to get air through the fan leaves. I cannot believe the RR, started off as the most finicky plant from germination and now it's the tallest f***er of the 4. She has shot up! I looked at the yellow tips on the leaves and apparently it's a lack of Iron. I read that Iron deficiency can be left to work itself out typically if it's not severe. Usually after a few days after the leaves are left to expand the yellow disappears and they turn a nice fresh green colour. The smell in here is fantastic! Until next time! ;) Happy growing and much love from the Shire!

Hi Growmies, I'm excited to share some big news today! Although there have been some unexpected twists, it's all part of the incredible journey of gardening. I've just completed the harvest, a tad earlier than initially planned, due to finding a bit of mold in one of the buds. Despite this minor hiccup, the trichomes were already at a decent 10% to 15% amber. So, all things considered, the timing ended up being pretty spot-on. The harvested weight was a solid 609 grams after trimming, which is quite a feat! A lesson learned for next time: perhaps I let her grow a few too many buds, leading to a denser canopy than ideal. But on the bright side, the aroma is absolutely divine. I sampled an airy bud that had dried a bit, and wow, it packs a stronger punch than its clone mother. And the flavor? Pure, unadulterated cheese – no hint of pineapple here! Now, the anticipation builds for the final dry weight, which I should know in about 3-4 days. It's always exciting to see the fruits of our labor fully realized. A huge thanks to everyone who's been following along on this journey. Your interest and support mean the world. And now, the adventure continues! I've started on Epic Buzz by Anesia Seeds. The diary for this new chapter is up and running, and the seedlings have already sprouted, marking the beginning of another exciting phase. (https://growdiaries.com/diaries/185718-grow-journal-by-salokin) I can't wait to share more updates with you all. Here's to the continued growth and learning in our gardening adventures!

She is still showing some healthy growth as the weather is great these summer days. Had to give her an additional pesticide treatment because of multiple eating traces in the leaves.

Tag 84 Grow: Tag 29 Blüte: Die Trauermücken sind deutlich im Rückgang. Der Luftentfeuchter tut sein Bestes unter 62% schafft er es leider nicht. Was mir etwas zu feucht für die Blüte ist - daher habe ich die Umluft nochmals erhöht und auch im Bereich der erde 2 Ventilatoren installiert. Jedes zweite Wässerung ist ein 24h gebrühter Compost-Tea. der Geruch ist sehr süß-fruchtig leichte spuren Gasig. Die Trichombildung ist recht ansehnlich Ich versuche jeden - jeden zweiten Tag ein paar Blätter zu entfernen die Schatten auf Top-Buds werfen. Nie mehr als 5-10 Stk. Tag 89 Grow: Tag 34 Blüte: Heute habe ich mehrere Blätter entfernt um mehr licht an die unteren Buds zu bringen. Es riecht extrem süßlich nach Erdbeerkuchen XD. Zusätzlich gab es wie alle 3-5 Tage ca. 25L 6,4 PH Wasser mit 1,2ml/L Canna Magnesium und Calcium für extra starke Blüten. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 84 – Grow Day 29 – Flowering Phase: Fungus gnats have decreased significantly. The dehumidifier is doing its best, but unfortunately it cannot reduce relative humidity below 62%, which is slightly too high for the flowering stage. Therefore, air circulation has been increased further, and two additional fans have been installed at soil level. Every second watering consists of a compost tea brewed for 24 hours. The aroma is very sweet and fruity, with slight gassy notes. Trichome production is quite impressive. Every one to two days, a few leaves are selectively removed that cast shade on the top buds — never more than 5–10 leaves at a time.

Growing nicely. Not the tallest, not the shortest just somewhere in the middle. Looking healthy & happy. I've read great reviews on this strain, I hope it lives up to it.
