Day 64 Flower (Day 106) Today is the first day of the 10th week of flower and I put on a powerful headlight and some magnifying glasses and closely inspected the right girl during the dark period, so the colors from the grow lights didn't fool me. Unfortunately, I found another couple of buds with bud rot. Soon I'll have to decide to harvest the plant now and cut my losses even though she isn't done, or I'll take my chances and let her go a while longer. I turned up my extraction fan, installed another circulation fan, and ordered a dehumidifier that will arrive tomorrow. I'm hoping that all those measures will bring down the humidity in the tent (unfortunately, I can't do anything about the temps) and prevent further rot. I will let her go another few days and see if any additional rot pops up. Fingers crossed that it won't. The left girl is just doing her thing, but it doesn't look like she will fatten her buds. I guess all that stress in the tiny tent was too much for her. No matter what the result of this grow will be, it certainly has been a great learning experience. Day 65 Flower (Day 107) Things are looking good for the right girl as I haven't found any more bud rot yet. Turning up the extraction fan certainly helped, not only with the humidity but also the temperature dropped. Not by a huge amount, but I'll take whatever improvement I can get. Today the dehumidifier arrived as well, and I put it in the tent right away. The humidity in the tent has now dropped from the high 60s to a much more suitable mid-40s, and I hope this will be enough together with additional air circulation to prevent any further rot. I looked a bit closer at the trichomes today and found that most have gone cloudy, and I finally found some amber ones (about damn time!). I'm aiming for around 20-25% amber in this harvest as I'm hoping for a relatively "heavy" smoke - one of those frying-pan-to-the-head kinds of smokes suitable for late nights. Day 66 Flower (Day 108) Still no signs of more bud rot. Fingers crossed All I did today was to mix up some more nematodes in water and then feed each girl with 3 liters of it at ph 6.4. I'm not sure it was necessary for my main tent as the fungus gnats seem to have died out by themselves. I put in a new yellow sticky trap yesterday, but it was still empty today, and many dead gnats were lying on the tent floor. I have no real idea why, as I don't use any pesticides, but maybe the gnats really don't like this new low humidity in the tent. In any case, I'm just happy that the little buggers are gone. Day 67 Flower (Day 109) The bud rot is still staying away, and I'm getting hopeful that it will stay gone. All I did today was to give the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.4 water. She was a bit thirsty as I had the irrigation turned off for a couple of days due to the nematodes I gave them yesterday. I've now turned on the system in each tent and will just cruise along until harvest. The girls are already way over time, but most trichomes are cloudy, and I've started to see some amber here and there. Although, not much of a fade so far. Day 68 Flower (Day 110) All I did today was snap a couple of pics. It's all just a waiting game at this point, and I hope it won't take that much longer. I'm ready to cut the girls down and have some time off before the next season is here. I plan to grow a couple of photo CBD girls in my main tent and maybe an auto in my smaller tent. We'll see. But yeah, first, the current grow must come to an end. It looks like the left girl is starting to get her fade on, so there's that at least. I didn't bother looking at the trichomes today, but I'll have another look in a day or two. Day 69 Flower (Day 111) I didn't do a single thing with the girls today except snapping a couple of pics. What I did, though, was to make a smoke test of the right girl. Let me explain: Earlier this week, I had to cut off four buds due to bud rot. Out of those four buds, I saved two small tops after trimming off all rot (as well as plenty more just to be safe). I left those tops on the tent floor, where they dried in only a few days, and yesterday I decided to try a smoke. Naturally, I can't say anything about taste as this weed is dried the worst way possible: fast, hot, and in the light. On top of that, it's not cured either. That being said, holy smokes, batman! This stuff kicks like a mule, which is why I didn't post this last night already. I was too stoned to care. Precisely the effect I was hoping for from this harvest: properly stoned and incredibly lazy. Boom! Day 70 Flower (Day 112) Today was the last day of week 10 of flower. Not much exciting is happening this late in flower, so it is primarily a waiting game at this point. I did remove the irrigation system from the left girl and will hand water her instead. That cheap system I had was too erratic, and I'm better off without it. Plus, I hope that she will be done soon-ish. She will never win a beauty contest due to her scraggly foxtail flowers, but I'm still happy to get something from her considering all the stress she went through. The right girl has been doing fine all week, and no other bud rot has been seen since I fixed her environment. I rechecked the trichomes today, and still hardly any amber in either girl. I'll let them go for another week, but then it is time for the chopping block. This grow already went a lot longer than planned initially, and it is time to bring it to a close soon.

Se realizó una defoliación en la parte más baja y en las 2 hojas más grandes de la parte superior para que pudiera entrar de mejor manera la luz a los brotes más pequeños. Se aplicó Voodo Juice para las raíces y Top Bloom para la floración, ya todas tomaron de buena manera el cambio del fotoperiodo. Seguimos 👽 ...

This week I finally removed my plant(shaman) that I didn't want to keep. Gave her away to a friend, hopefully in ''good'' care LOL. Sprayed them with CANNA RHIZOTONIC again. Did a little LST and some defoliation. Had to raise my PH a little bit because I did a small flush and found out that my run-off was like 5.6-5.7PH which is a little to low. So to keep a good PH in my soil i have them some water with ph 6.2-6.3. Not to much because then your soil will be ph 6.2-6.3. I just want to have it arround 5.9-6 for now.

Blackberry moonrocks both plants are still some of the best seedling in the tent so far. The better if the 2 is for sure the #1 plant in the tent. It has had the best start of a seedling i have seen in a wile. The leaves are angled like an airplane and they just seem thicker than the average leaf. They both seem like there going to have middium to longer indernode spacing. It's looking like a good start to a week the plants are strong they are getting to the point I can let the dried dry out completely. I'm thinking by the end of this week the plants will be starting to be sold. Last week I put all the plants into my bigger 2x4 tent with my medicgrow mini sun 2 the 500w version. Only a few of the plants were ready for that light. Seems like the only plants that really have good resistance and have a strong start are the weedseedsexpress.com seeds. Shout out to weedseedsexpress.com for the strong plants. I ended up putting all the plants back into my 2x2 tent with the 55w amazon light it has alot more blue light in its spectrum. It's kinda weird b4 I switched the plants to the 2x4 tent they were getting 220umol under my amazon 55w led then when I put them under the 500w light 25% strength about 50in from plants and they were getting only about 195umol in that tent but it was stressing most the plants. I assume a larger light has more side lighting hitting the plants. I think when useing larger lights it's good to measure umols from the top but also coming from the sides. I think durring seedling stage they only need about 50% the umols coming from the side the plants as the top is receiving. When I put the plants back in the small tent about the same umols as they were getting b4 the switch and they were still a little stressed. So for a few days I put the small light at the top the tent giving them 100umols for a few hrs then 130umols the rest the day.

These are faster than expected. The smell is wonderful too. Pineapple and candy, the second pheno although it has less trichomes is bigger and has an added creaminess to its aroma. Truly great stuff even if they really don’t match the NTF description. Added some PK supplement too. Should be another week or two for these.

Greetings, fellow cultivators! Welcome to the Week 7 Report on our magnificent Epsilon F1, where the journey of green greatness continues to unfold with each passing day. Prepare yourselves for a detailed and immersive exploration of our botanical wonder as we delve deep into the heart of her flourishing beauty. Let's begin with a momentous decision: the Day 21 Flower Defoliation. With careful consideration and a keen eye for detail, I embarked on this transformative journey, gently removing select fan leaves to allow for increased light penetration and airflow. It's like giving our Epsilon F1 a botanical makeover, revealing her true splendor beneath the foliage canopy. This strategic pruning ensures that every bud site receives the attention it deserves, setting the stage for a bountiful harvest of epic proportions. But that's not all! As we bid farewell to the defoliation process, it's time to release all the bindings and restraints that were used to guide and train our green goddess throughout her growth journey. With a sense of liberation and pride, I untangle each tie, allowing our Epsilon F1 to stretch her leafy limbs and reach for the heavens. It's like setting a bird free from its cage, unleashing her full potential to soar to new heights of botanical glory. Now, let's talk about the environment. The TrolMaster controls have been instrumental in maintaining the perfect climate for our Epsilon F1's growth and development. From temperature and humidity to light and CO2 levels, these precision instruments ensure that our green queen receives the optimal conditions for flourishing. It's like conducting a symphony of growth, orchestrating each element to harmonize in perfect unity. And of course, we cannot forget the nourishment that sustains our botanical masterpiece. The Aptus Holland nutrients continue to be the lifeblood of our grow space, providing a balanced diet of essential macro and micronutrients. From the Micromix Soil to the Substrate Buffer Powder and All-in-One Pellet, each component plays a vital role in nurturing our plant to perfection. But let us not overlook the unsung heroes behind the scenes. Shout-outs to Royal Queen Seeds for bestowing upon us the genetic marvel that is the Epsilon F1, a testament to their dedication to excellence in breeding. To Aptus Holland, our main sponsor, whose unwavering support and innovative nutrients have propelled our grow to new heights of success. To TrolMaster, for providing the tools that empower us to create the optimal growing environment for our plants. And to Grow Diaries, the platform and community that fosters collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and camaraderie among growers worldwide. As we bid adieu to Week 7, let us revel in the glory of our Epsilon F1's progress and look forward with anticipation to the weeks ahead. Happy growing, dear readers, and may your gardens be forever green!

This is a wonderful week of flowering. This week I had to reduce the dosage of my main flowering nutrient, because I started to give them green sensation. I will increase the dose later on step by step back to normal as I see that the girls are okay with it. I had to increase the light distance again, because some of the leaves started to bleach as the lights were too close. That's it for now, I am hoping to see a nice progress in the next few weeks, so stay tuned!

the Germination process was very easy and had no problems to sprout in paper towel. After she first touched water it needed 5 day to get root and open shell with her tiny white baby leaf and next I put it in to the pot in coco coir it was already watered and i just put the cup on top next day she was fully green and strong stem with little hairs <3

I topped the 2 last plants and started LST on all of them without any problem. The growth was pretty impressive this week, especially for the Wedding Cheesecake which is clearly bigger then the others. I had to add some supports to compensate the height difference between the plants. I removed some leaflets here and there during the week to give some light to the lower branches without removing too much leaves. I increased the light power to 75%. I will probably give them another week and then switch to the 12h/12h schedule. Plants heights at the end of the week : ------------------------------------------- Gorilla Cookies : 29cm Purple Lemonade : 22.5cm Wedding Cheesecake : 37cm

Ich hab bei den größeren Blättern einzelne Fächer abgeschnitten, damit die unteren Triebe noch Chance zum aufholen haben. Mal sehen ob es klappt.

---------------------------------------------- ~Sweet Seeds Sweet Zenzation (SWS84)~ ---------------------------------------------- Zkittlez is one of the most famous and potent strains found on the west coast of the USA. Sweet Zenzation (SWS84) derives from a cross between an elite clone of Zkittlez combined with a specially selected Grape Ape clone, which is one of the strains used to develop the original Zkittlez. The result is a predominantly Indica genetic hybrid. It produces a large amount of resin-soaked flowers. It is both relaxing and stress-relieving, yet it also stimulates the imagination and conversation, an effect that is normally associated with sativa strains. The flowers have a high terpene content, an exquisite aroma and sweet taste, with hints of fruit-flavored candies, hardwood undertones, shades of lemon, cypress and subtle aromatic peppers. Variety: Sweet Zenzation (SWS84) Indica: 70% Sativa: 30% THC: 16-23% CBD: 0.2% Indoor Yield: 450-650 g/m² Outdoor Yield: 400-700 g/plant Effects: Creativity, Stimulating, Happiness, Relaxing Taste: Spicy, Fruity, Citrus, Lemon, Candy, Cypress, Sweet ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ THE SETUP: ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with de-chlorinated water with SuperThrive added then ph'd to 6.0 @ 80℉ ~Grown 100% organic in 10g fabric pots with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium amended with 2tbs/g of Down To Earth 4-4-4 / 2 cups/g of Earthworm Castings / 1tbs/g of Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4, 1tbs/g of Dr. Earth Bat Guano, 3/4 cup of Down To Earth Azomite and 1 tsp/g Down To Earth Fish Bone Meal. ~24hr light cycle during Germination / 19/5 light cycle for Vegetation and 12/12 for Flower ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and weekly Compost Tea's. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 10/11- Week Nine! Here we go on our way to sticking a fork in this run! Her fade is in full swing and she's putting out trichomes like crazy! By the end of this week she'll be hanging after she spends a couple of nights in the dark. I watered today using straight water that's ph'd to 6.5-6.7 @ 72℉. I gave her a little over 1.5g to keep her flush going and then turned her pot. Trichome status: 70% milky / 30% clear 10/13- I watered today with 1.5g of straight water that was ph'd to 6.5-6.7 @ 72℉ and gave her pot a turn. Her trichomes are almost where I like them and more than likely she'll be going in the dark by the weekend! What a beautiful cultivar she is! 🤩💚 10/15- My routine of watering every other day continues. Yesterday I watered her with her usual 1.5g of straight de-chlorinated water that was ph'd to 6.5-6.7 @ 72℉ and gave her pot a turn. Today was just spent checking her over, turning her pot and doing a quick check of her trichomes which are close, but not quite ripe enough yet! 10/17- Wow!... Nine weeks of flower DONE! 😎👍 Now my sights are set on getting this girl finished up and on her way to 48 hours in the dark before she's hung to begin drying. I went ahead and watered her with her usual 1.5g of straight de-chlorinated water that was ph'd to 6.7 @ 72℉ and checked her trichomes, which are looking just about right! This journey is coming to a close in the next couple of weeks with her harvest, drying and trimming up. I so appreciate you following along with me , it's been a blast sharing with you all! 😎🙏 ~Thanks so much for checking out my diary! This epic run is in the home stretch with harvest fast approaching...Stay lifted and be Blessed! 😎🙏~
