Hello growmies! Welcome to week five of An Epsilon Adventure! Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow! The girls are all at different early flowering stages, but they are only days apart from each other. I have a bit of a quandary now though, as I am no longer following the nutrient schedule as these plants are too fast for it. So I am unsure whether to start PK warrior or not yet. I have also realised I have probably underfed them in the last week or so, which to be honest isn't a big deal for me right now as they are already waaaaaaaaaaay bigger than expected. Let's talk about that a moment. This strain has an average height of 50-70cm. I wonder if those numbers were for soil grows? It seems for coco you will get even bigger plants. Case in point these six girls measured at 3pm 24/7 day 30 as follows: Plant 1: 111cm Plant 2: 99cm Plant 3: 90cm Plant 4: 89cm Plant 5: 85cm Plant 6: 84cm Plant 3 appears to have stopped stretching and is the most advanced into flower. Plant 4 is right behind it and has slowed down but not yet stopped stretching. Plant 2 is next in terms of flowering development her stretch is slowing. Plant 5 is still stretching rapidly and is coming to the end of preflower. No concern really at 85cm she has some room yet. Plant 6 is still stretching rapidly and is still in preflower. Slightly concerned despite her 84cm stature as she has been the most beefy looking plant all along, so I am expecting her to grow a good bit more. Plant 1 is still stretching rapidly and is still in preflower. Extremely very concerned about this one. The light is about as high as it can go. 111cm!! I have scoured the internet and the tallest Epsilon F1 I have found was 95cm. It's great that she is so happy this plant, but if she gets much taller I'm going to have to super crop her main cola. Whatever happens I am starting to dream of smashing my yield target out of the park, these girls are all impressive. Hard to believe they are just 30 days old. Daily Updates: ### Week 5 Day 2 15:00 24/7 Photographed. ### Week 5 Day 2 23:30 24/7 fertigated 1.6l and updated nutrient schedule for the week ### Week 5 Day 3 20:00 25/7 took a short video ### Week 5 Day 4 05:00 26/7 photographed ### Week 5 Day 4 18:00 26/7 Measured (brace yourself). Plant 1: 126cm Plant 2: 107cm Plant 3: 93cm Plant 4: 94cm Plant 5: 97cm Plant 6: 96cm Plants 3 and 4 have stopped stretching now and are fully into flower. At 93cm and 94cm respectively, by the end of flower these girls may hit 1m but they wont go much more than that. Plant 2 looks to have just about stopped as well. It might go another 10cm overall. Plant 5 is still stretching but I think not much more. Plant 6 is still stretching and I am still expecting quite a bit of growth from her. Then there is plant 1. 126cm and still stretching. It has now grown beyond the height of the light. I hope it can somehow finish itself before it hits the top of the tent. I mean the secondary colas are over 1m already. It is a great shame this giant plant doesn't have more horizontal space to itself, either way it is absolutely shocking to see. I really do not want to super crop her, but am out of options. This grow, incidentally, constitutes the first and last time that I let any indoor cannabis plant go untrained. With basically 4 x 4 x 4 of usable space, training my plants is not really optional - and now you can all see why. This "50-70cm" strain has rapidly outgrown my space. RQS it may be time to revisit the height claims on this strain. Just saying. ### Week 5 Day 6 01:00 28/7 Rearranged the tent and photographed. I have been regularly rotating the plants and periodically moving them around. My problem is now plant one has already hit the top of the tent and there is no easy way to give it anymore space... still not sure what I am supposed to do but it's fine for now... tried to capture the problem with the photos. As well as plant 1, plant 6 looks like it's going to keep going for a good bit yet, and plant 2 is still putting a bit of height on. I took plenty of photos today to try and capture the essence of the jungle. It is quite unbelievable what these plants have done. I just cannot stop looking at them, they are magnificent. I have not fed for 4 days, will probably feed later I am just trying to slow them down a bit by not feeding them. It doesn't seem to be working. ### Week 5 Day 6 23:00 28/7 Defoliated heavily all plants. Fertigated 2l each. Removed some more lower side growth off the smallest plant (plant 3) to make space. Might leave it a few days before I photograph again. Plants 2, 3, and 4 are all well into flowering now, plant 5 is not far behind them, but plants 1 and 6 are still in preflower. :( What is really remarkable right now is the difference in colour between the plants further into flower vs the plants still in preflower. The plants in flowering have much darker leaves. --- 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 ==========

Really happy with my yield. 70 grams doesn't look it. But adding up 14 plants i nearly push 1400g.. so overall I'm a happy chappy.. Love MSNL. I've lots to hit on their list. I've another GDP auto going Thc bomb auto & Purple haze auto. (I've like 6 hazes going atm so I'll run this later)

In flush mode now and fading out nice

Last week of veg I’m just tucking them under net when needed .

I gave her her first feed with the Emerald Harvest nutes. Still yellowing out on me anyone know what could be wrong?

Tento týden jsem přidal UVB světlo které je zapnuté 45 minut uprostřed cyklu. Každých 5 dní přidám dalších 15 minut až do sklizně ve kterou doufám za 2-3 týdny. Dnes jsem naposledy zalil své dívky s přidanými živinami. Příště už jen čistá voda. Sweet Orange XL a Special Kush jsem naposledy zalil čistou vodou s velkým odtokem vody a v pondělí mám naplánovanou jejich sklizeň.

7/15 430am. Tuesday OG is moved from CannaKan to Organi-plug, then to 1 gallon small pot grow. With my System to make up for the lack of space and high stress environment. My major problem is I dont like working with dirt, it's dirty and hurts to hover over a bathtub and do it cleanly. Thats the challenge of CLEAN indoor micro-grows. The CannaKan fits inside the small A/C Infinity Germination stations. 7/15 1145pm almost midnight. Woke up and didn't need coffee just one, I will have 14 more but I needed 1. NO ENERGY SHOTS. The thought of energy shot which I needed just to function are not needed. Down to 124 pounds but re-gaining and this strain with my amino / combo will keep my nausea medication and now I have used sugar leaves and the increased resin for cysts and skin conditions as they arise. I am hoping this strain works in my high stress environment, I have found some that do and some that excel at what I am tryin to do. 7/16 140am Transfer to larger pot today, dirt work. MABYE NOW IS TIME FOR WHISKY ???? IF I HAVE TO OPEN THE CYST ON MY NECK AND BACK I WILL NEED LOTS OF WHISKY FOR THAT, VERY PAINFUL LAST TIME I TRIED. THEN I CAN WORK WITH THE DIRT, ILL ALREADDY BE DRUNK SO I WILL THINK ITS FUN!! IM SO SMART!!! 416AM ATAMI YOU ARE A COMPLICATED PRODUCT. She is full of secrets and very powerful. I have to be extremely careful with this. My aminos are increasing uptake and availability so she might be at .25 instead of half .5. She seemed to shock the plant a little at first. like using organic with non organic and unbalanceing the system. Now however she seems to be transforming the leaves and flowers into puffier surfaces and the over all smell of the tent is nicer, aTAMI Bloomtastic smells fresh and clean. 7am Ask Ai, What effect L- Citrulline Malate & L- Citraline on plants? Citrulline, found in plants and abundant in watermelon, has several notable effects on plant physiology and stress tolerance: Antioxidant and hydroxyl radical scavenging: Citrulline is a potent scavenger of hydroxyl radicals, protecting plant cells and metabolic enzymes from oxidative damage, particularly under stress conditions such as drought. Studies show it is more efficient than other compatible solutes like proline and mannitol in this role. Drought and salt stress tolerance: Citrulline accumulation is associated with increased tolerance to drought and salinity stress in certain plants like watermelon and some melon genotypes. It contributes to osmotic adjustment and helps plants maintain water status during these adverse conditions. Exogenous application of citrulline has also been shown to improve antioxidant enzyme activity and essential oil content in hyssop plants under water stress. Nitrogen transport and metabolism: Citrulline has been proposed to function as a carrier of organic nitrogen in cucurbits and is found in high concentrations in their phloem. This suggests a role in nitrogen assimilation, storage, and long-distance transport within the plant. Research also indicates its involvement in nitrogen homeostasis. In summary, L-citrulline plays a significant role in helping plants cope with environmental stresses, primarily by acting as an antioxidant and contributing to osmotic adjustment and nitrogen metabolism. However, more research is needed to fully understand its precise mechanisms and potential applications in agriculture. "" 11am ""Combining iron with certain amino acids like glycine, asparagine, serine, methionine, and threonine, can enhance iron absorption. Additionally, vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is well-known for its ability to significantly improve iron absorption, especially from non-heme sources, according to Michigan State University. Specific amino acids and their impact on iron absorption: Glycine and Asparagine: These amino acids have been shown to significantly increase iron absorption when ingested with iron, particularly in rats, according to ScienceDirect. Methionine and Threonine: These amino acids, when combined with iron, have been shown to improve hemoglobin levels in young women, suggesting enhanced iron utilization according to National Institutes of Health (NIH). Histidine: It can bind ferrous iron, forming a stable complex that may be important for its solubility and absorption, according to Cambridge University Press & Assessment. Serine: Similar to glycine and asparagine, serine has also been shown to increase iron absorption in animal studies according to ScienceDirect. Important Considerations: Vitamin C's Role: Vitamin C is particularly effective in enhancing non-heme iron absorption (iron from plant-based sources). Dietary Sources: Combining iron-rich foods with vitamin C-rich foods (liked citrus fruits, berries, and vegetables) can maximize iron absorption from your diet. Individual Needs: Iron absorption can be influenced by various factors, including individual iron status and the presence of other dietary components 🚨Several recent studies demonstrated that treatment with the BCAA LEUCINE improves the anemia 🚨 7/16 2250am I found a fluorescent light to put in the fixture in front of the germination station. I’ve heard fluorescent is the best so I have fluorescent and LED set up for my station. It’s really nice.👍👍🚨 🚨🚨🚨 UPDATE 7/26 1124PM THE FLORESCENT CFL BULB MADE A SIGNIFICANT AND OBVIOUS IMPROVEMENT ON VEGING LEAF SIZE!!!! 7/17 12am goddamnit. mistakes were made, lessons were learnted. because brainsmarts make weed good or bad whichever is funnier...im sofa king we todd it. 7/18 1215am BCAA into iron and anemia """🚨In the current study, the three BCAAs valine, leucine and isoleucine were significantly correlated with Hb, ferritin and the sTfR. The linear regression models showed strongest associations between BCAAs and Hb. Lowered BCAA levels were found with lowered Hb values. These findings are consistent with the results of a previous study by Chung et al., who demonstrated, that the uptake of the essential BCAAs is a very important component of Hb synthesis in hematopoietic stem cells (19). In this context, the mTORC1 was shown to be a key regulator in hematopoietic stem cell function (20). This multi-protein complex acts as an intracellular sensor of BCAA availability, which coordinates the Hb production (19,21). Here, the strongest correlation was found between the BCAA valine and Hb (r=0.382; P 7/18 RICKY'S HASH PLANT BUTTFACE!!! LOOK AT THAT SEED, HILARIOUS!!!! OTHERS LOOK GREAT TOO 7/19 I put the three extra seeds and the little cubes if I don’t transfer them right away I know I’ll destroy three more seeds. I also have two more mint jellies going for some reason and I might put the doctor Seedman with this as well, I love the magnetic stir thing. It keeps nutrients longer when you can stir them all day.👍👍👍👨‍⚕️. 7/20. almost its 1118pm 7/19 still. AMAZING AMAZING RESULTS. THE AMINOS ARE WORKING. ALSO ON ME. I AM CONDUCTING MEDICAL RESEARCH ON MYSELF AND ITS WORKING. ALSO METHELYENE BLUE MUST BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR??!! TMG POWDER, &METHYLE FOLATE PLUS. NECK CYSTS ARE HEALING, NIGHT SWEATS FEVER DROPPING TO NORMAL. BOUTS OF SUDDEN HYPOTHERMEA AND NAUSEA HAVE DECREASED. DIGESTIVE SYSTEM WORKING BETTER THAN EVER. NO MAJOR OR MINOR BLOOD LOSS.

Soweit, sogut ..... Erste Blätter bekommen eine lila Farbe, Knospen werden langsam dichter ... Tag 58 ... Wetter wieder kälter, kaum Sonne 😐

Final product is been absolutely amazing on these clones - the jungle came out about average but the clones definitely exceeded expectations there absolute fire in comparison but still just as good hopefully I can just improve a few issues we had on this run and dial right in 100% will be so much better, next few run is going to be special I’ve got a few things lined up. From tester packs to breeders packs I can hunt from. So lots to choose from but what to keep to run will be interesting

This is chopping week. Im starting to see more amber trichomes so I know they are right there. I will most likely chop tomorrow morning. These plants are absolutely beautiful. Truly showed their fall colors and the potent aroma they both are putting out. So excited to get these dried and cured so I can finally test them out and give you guys a smoke report. Come back in 2 weeks and I'll have more on that.

Good week, no issues popping up. Just watered when needed. WCC she is packing on weight, with buds stacked on buds and smells amazing. C4 Very strong girl, nothing has fazed her from the beginning. Beautiful purple plant and the smell is floral. And packing some nice looking buds. Gelato Pretty much the same as C4, very strong, looking amazing and the smell is delicious. Bud sites aplenty. SBP Small bud sites are developing with a few white hairs. More just growing her on as a little experiment really she how she turns out. Not expecting much, but we'll see

Sept 27th: (F41) Fertigation once a day with NEW recipe (1300 EC 6.1 PH) watered until 10-20% run-off Sept 28th: (F42) Fertigation once a day with same recipe (1300 EC 6.1 PH) watered until 10-20% run-off Sept 29th: (F43) Fertigation once a day with NEW recipe (1300 EC 6.1 PH) watered until 10-20% run-off Sept 30th: (F44) Fertigation once a day with same recipe (1300 EC 6.1 PH) watered until 10-20% run-off Oct 1st: (F45) Fertigation once a day with same recipe (1300 EC 6.1 PH) watered until 10-20% run-off Oct 2nd: (F46) Fertigation once a day with same recipe (1300 EC 6.1 PH) watered until 10-20% run-off Oct 3rd: (F47) Fertigation once a day with same recipe (1300 EC 6.1 PH) watered until 10-20% run-off Note: The TUT bud are getting quite heavy :) Some branches are bending, will have to tight some of those :)

D-89 : I've just raised the calmag level from 0.5 to 0.8 ml/l and cut off the leaves wearing calcium deficiency symptoms. Flowers growed a bit during last week but, most important, they got fatter :) It seams that 2L every 48h is a good pace for them.

Week 9 (11/05 - 17/05) D57: - D58: - D59: added 0.5 ml of Calmag, 1.5 ml of Bio-grow, 3 ml of Bio-bloom and 1ml of Top-Max to 1 liter of tap water @ pH 6.2 D60: - D61: added 0.5 ml of Calmag, 1.5 ml of Bio-grow, 3 ml of Bio-bloom and 1ml of Top-Max to 1 liter of tap water @ pH 6.4 D62: - D63: -

Day 22: Honestly didn't think I would have made it this far. The girls are looking great minus a couple of issues. I have over watered them and over fed too! Not to mention trying to LST too early. I will wait a bit longer before watering this time. Day 23: MORNING - They were super dry. I have been over watering a bit so I watered maybe 1/2 gallon for all 6. I also did some more LST and took 1 large fan leaf off of each plant. I will update again before lights out. Day 23: NIGHT - The girls are responding very well to the LST. I don't think they are liking the 80°. I am starting to have issues with lower humidity again. I need to try and figure some sort of ducting out or possibly even get a small AC unit for the grow room. Day 24: MORNING - I removed a couple more leaves that were covering potential bud sites. I have also done a partial main-line on the smallest girl. It looks to be already showing pistols. I've had to open the tent with a big fan blowing directly in with the humidifier behind it. The girls were getting hot and dry. Day 24: NIGHT - Well 5 are showing to be female. The biggest plant is showing no signs of sex. I am guessing it will be the mystery seed. I will be doing no more LST to these ladies for at least a week or better. I think I have stressed them out enough the past 2 days. Day 25: These girls are very resilient!! I tortured them all weekend and the one I nopped off to do a sort of mainline grew by 20% at least. Day 26: It is the official 3 week mark today and the girls are starting to flower. I tied em down to get light to all bud sights. I will 100% not touch them unless they need it from this point!!!! They are soo small and I need not stunt them any more!! I have removed the Mystery Seed as it looks to be a male and I do not want to take the chance!! Also fed and watered today. Only 200 ppm for the feed. Day 27: Nothing new to report. These girls are gonna be tiny :| I must've stressed em too much too soon :( Looking good though I think! 💪 Day 28: I never do what I say. Dumb! Broke main stem on one of the best plants. Taking it as a lessons learned. It's been two hours and she looks SICK! Oh well.

Hey gang we going in on those clone set, hopefully I can get humidity up and force the roots to shoot, other then that just patiently waiting lol thanks guys lfg!!!! ***************************************** 06/06/2024 We have ignition!!! Roots have arrived lfgggg!!!!! Scope the pics section!!!!!!
