Nice

The girl is hungry and asked for 5 liters watering. (1200 ml has flowed through)😋

Plant is doing well, its definitely slow to grow buds, but all the stems have multiple bud sites with lots of pistils, some trichomes are just starting to develop. Cant wait to watch true buds form this week! Ill be doing a water change on saturday, and upping the PK booster "big bud" Its the end of week 4, and there are tons of sugar leaves forming on the colas, true buds are starting, and theres decent trichomes forming. Most of the main tops are super close to the lights, but theyre not burning because I turned down the intensity after noticing minor burn last week

Great week

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 ==========

First week

Bought the seeds few months ago. From Europe. Take 5 hour to reidratate. Once drowned moved in the pallet. So happy to start growing again! At the 5th day grow 3cm up. Amazing

was a solid week. all green, all happy. the birthday cake auto seems to be coming around. so today i set the lights to 12 12 .. lets see how the flower. ive done all what i can in ability and space to set them up i hope. i find mixing nutrients in calcium water (thicker density, almost milk,) produces a quicker visible result in the plants and also you seem to get less variation in how they take the days feed. Happy New year to you all.

The smell has really started to come out very strong by the end of week 7 from germination. Out of the three plants in the tent, the first one has that sharp dank chem smell that I was hoping for. The other two plants smell great as well, but definitely lean more on the sweet side, with a bit of gas and chem on the backend. Additionally, the two sweeter smelling plants are short and stout relative to the first plant. Looking forward to another couple weeks of flowering!

Ultime settimane.siamo arrivati al finale anche con queste quasi...bella e sicuramente anche buona😜🤤😂 profilo terpenico forte intenso .un profumo delizioso...quando proverò questa strawberry 🍓 banana 🍌 vi racconterò com'è di sapore e potenza...le cime sono dure dure come una pietra

Now tent is here ! plants are exploding:) little one starts to catch up ! Trust in the process👍🏽

J'ai l'impression qu'il y a une carence en fer , je vais regarder pour arranger sa j'aimerais sauvegarder cette plante , les boutures malheureusement ne prennent pas où avec beaucoup de mal , j'en est seulement 3 sur 15 qui racines au bout de 15 jours ,qu'elle échec, je vais réessayer en changeant quelques paramètres ! Si quelqu'un a une idée je suis preneur

☘️02/05 - Empieza su segunda semana en Etapa de crecimiento. ☘️En el día se hoy esta cumpliendo 27 días de vida en total. ☘️Voy a dejar que esté cinco semanas en etapa de crecimiento para que pueda desarrollarse de forma correcta. ☘️La planta mide 11cm de largo, se encuentra grande y linda. ☘️Hasta el momento no tuve ningún problema. ☘️En estos dias seguire subiendo mas imagenes de como viene su crecimiento. ☘️Si notas algo extraño en las imagenes no dudes en avisarme! Podes seguirme en Insta gram como @bruweed_arg! 🍀🤙🏻

They grew a lot this week or so it seems to me, because i was on vacation and havent seen them the last 5 days. SQ#1 and Blue cheese are now my biggest plants Even though i germinated 1 week later and also from the other strain there was one plant that was always bigger than the Rest and now its the second smallest. So far everything was nice, no issues with nutrients, desease or bugs, every plant develops hairs and is female. I think i give them 1 more week to grow and then i‘m changing the light cycle and start the flowering Phase, really excited for that :)

Captain’s Log (I know that’s a different show) Today was my first day on earth and Willie got me straight to work mixing and digging preparing the soil. I would add 2ltrs of Plagron lightmix, 0.5ltrs of perlite, then 6grms of RQS Easy Boost, 1grm of Mycorrhiza mix, 0.5grms of Rhizobacter, mix it up and then keep repeating these steps until the pot was full. I feel like I could sleep for a whole light year. Seed was soaked in ph’d water for 24hrs before planting. I’ve got a lot of thinking and soul searching to do before I can decide how much Lightside and Darkside I want in my strain, or Sativa and Indica as they call it here on earth. I think I may need to try contact the ghost of Obi Wan for some advice on this one.

🌿 LSD — Week 8 From Seed (Week 4 Flower – Photoperiod) The room is full. Not chaotic-full. Intentional-full. And that’s a big difference. ⸻ 🌡️ ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS 📊 Current Metrics • Canopy temp: 27.9°C • RH: ~70% • CO₂: 1000+ ppm (lights on) • PPFD: 800 → 1300 µmol/m²/s What This Means At ~28°C with 1000+ ppm CO₂, your plants can metabolically handle the higher PPFD range. This is a high-energy room right now. Humidity at 70% in week 4 flower is slightly on the upper edge for density like this, but: • We have airflow. • We have under-canopy lighting. • We have structured spacing. So this isn’t panic territory. It’s “monitor closely” territory. ⸻ 🌱 SUBSTRATE & FEEDING • Soil EC: 0.91 • Watering EC: 2.4 • pH: 6.5 • Medium temp: ~22.5°C • Moisture reading: ~94% (with active dry-backs) This is important: The graph rhythm described — feed → dry back → stabilization — That’s root steering. Your soil isn’t waterlogged. Your EC isn’t stacking. They’re drinking aggressively. And in week 4 flower, that’s exactly what you want. This is peak nitrogen-to-potassium transition phase. ⸻ 💡 LIGHTING STRATEGY Main Light Intensity We climbing as the canopy grows — smart. UVA/UVB — 6 Hours Mid-Cycle This is controlled stress application. At this stage (early-to-mid flower): • Trichome precursors are developing. • Secondary metabolite pathways are active. • Defense response can be nudged. Important: UV doesn’t create resin. It signals stress response pathways that can increase resin density under the right metabolic conditions. So far: No tacoing. No bleaching. No premature fade. That means dosage is within tolerance. ⸻ 🔴 15-Minute End-of-Day Red This is circadian tightening. Phytochrome manipulation: Pfr → Pr conversion accelerates. The plant “understands” night faster. Will yield explode? No. Will rhythm sharpen? Possibly. Subtle tools are what refine grows. ⸻ 🔦 UNDERCANOPY LIGHTING This is actually one of the most underrated parts of your setup. In a dense canopy like this: Benefits: • Lower bud sites don’t starve. • Hormonal dominance softens. • Larf reduction. • Internal airflow improves. Our structure supports it — because you didn’t over-strip last week. ⸻ 🌿 DEFOLIATION RESPONSE It looks like they didn’t get defoliated at all. That’s a sign of: • Strong root mass • Stable VPD • No nutrient imbalance • Good carbohydrate reserves Week 4 is the perfect recovery window. If they had stalled? You’d see smaller bud initiation. We’re not. ⸻ 🌸 LET’S TALK ABOUT THE WHITE HAIRS (PISTILS) Those “white hairs” are pistils — female reproductive organs. They are: • Stigma structures • Designed to catch pollen • Directly connected to ovule tissue inside the calyx Why are they exploding now? Because the plant has fully transitioned from vegetative dominance to reproductive hormone signaling. Auxin redistribution shifts. Gibberellins reduce. Flowering genes are active. We’re now in: Active bud site multiplication phase. The number of pistils at week 4 indicates: • Good hormonal balance • No stress-induced reversion • Strong floral initiation ⸻ 🌿 STRUCTURE – HYBRID BUT SATIVA EXPRESSION We’re noticing: • Vertical middle branching • Internodal stretch • Upward lateral arms Even though LSD is a hybrid, phenotype expression can lean sativa structurally. This gives us: • Longer cola potential • Slightly airier stacking (good for airflow) • Potentially later bulking Now the question: Will this become a dominant main cola? Based on structure: Yes — but not a single spear. More likely: A structured central column with strong secondary tops. We didn’t top aggressively. So apical dominance remains. But the mid-sides are competitive. This is a balanced dominance structure — not a Christmas tree, not a bush. ⸻ 📈 WHAT TO EXPECT NEXT WEEK (Week 5 Flower) You should see: Calyx swelling begins Pistils start thickening, not just multiplying Slight trichome production visible on sugar leaves Stretch slowing down Nutrient demand increases What you should NOT expect yet: ✘ Major bud density ✘ Heavy trichome frosting ✘ Fan leaf fade ✘ Pistil darkening in bulk We’re still in building phase. ⸻ 🧠 ONE IMPORTANT THING Humidity at 70% in week 5 will become more critical. As density increases: We will lower it gradually toward 60–62%. Not aggressively. Gradually. Our room is stable. We don’t shock it. ⸻ 🌿 OVERALL IMPRESSION They look: • Even • Uniform • Almost clone-like • Structurally consistent That uniformity from seed? That’s good selection genetics. This room feels intentional. Not experimental. Not chaotic. Controlled. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@DOGDOGTHEDOCTOR NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. 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.

------GENERAL COMMENT------ Everything going well, the AK47 is much more vigorous than the BB, let's consider that she was more stressed. So i'm putting up the week timelapse, is a pain to do it but i found the result very interesting will try to put up one weekly. This week was a busy one, opted to a defoliation to be able to even the bud spots introducing a cage, and doing some LST, training to the cage to make a more flat pre flower spots in that way the flowering will be easier to control. So the plants grew in hight but was trained to be more bushy. We have a week to go or something about that then i will switch to 12-12. ------GG.AK47 COMMENT------ Vigorous growth, she was trained to even the canopy, with many bud spots.
