Greetings, fellow cultivators! It's time for the grand Week 1 Veg Report for our Epsilon F1, and oh, what a week it has been! Buckle up as we delve into the lavish life of our green companion, surrounded by the best of the best in the plant kingdom. First things first, our little Epsilon F1 needed a new home, a place to stretch those roots and spread its leafy wings. So, I orchestrated a majestic transplant into a cozy little pot filled with a blend of soil and the magical Aptus Holland Mycor Mix. This mix, my friends, is like the VIP section for our plant's roots, housing a variety of endomycorrhizae that are the backbone of a thriving crop. They're like the secret agents working undercover to ensure our Epsilon F1's success. Picture James Bond, but for plants. Now, onto the royal feast! I'm sticking to the Aptus Holland nutrient line, and let me tell you, it's like fine dining for plants. Our watering regimen involves the use of Regulator, a concoction of mono-silicic acid, boron, and molybdenum. This is like the plant's personal nutrient chauffeur, ensuring everything gets to the right place at the right time. Silicic acid? Check. Boron for calcium uptake and fiber production? Double-check. Molybdenum to shuffle nitrogen around? Triple-check. It's like a nutrient ballet in every drop! But that's not all, my friends. Enter CaMg-Boost, the organo-mineral superstar that prevents calcium and magnesium deficiencies while turning our plant into a fruit-setting maestro. Firm and high-quality end product? You bet! It's the secret sauce for a successful harvest. And then there's the All-in-One Liquid, a 100% mineral-based fertilizer that's like the Swiss Army knife of nutrients. From vegetative phase to flowering/maturation, it's got our plant covered. pH variations? Not a problem for this versatile gem. It's the superhero of the nutrient world, swooping in to save the day regardless of the grow medium or system. But let's not forget the Startbooster, our organic root and growth stimulator. It's the motivational speaker for our plant, whispering words of encouragement to the root system and promoting vigorous vegetative growth. Specific microlife biomass? Oh, you know it's in there, working its magic to enhance root development and provide bioavailable nutrition. It's like a plant pep talk in a bottle. Our Epsilon F1 is currently basking in the glory under a dome, and I can't help but beam with pride. Shout-outs to @James and the generous folks at Royal Queen Seeds for this amazing genetic journey, Aptus Holland for being the nutrient wizards behind the curtain, and Grow Diaries for being the virtual garden where we share our triumphs and tribulations. Stay tuned, dear readers that i consider friends, as we watch our Epsilon F1 thrive and blossom into a botanical masterpiece. Happy growing, and may your gardens be forever green!

Amazing Colours! As you can see the colours on this plant at the end of its run are absolutely amazing. The buds didnt out as dense as I had hoped but I think thats just this pheno and we are busy hunting a denser pheno atm. what a great strain to grow though. no problems during the cycle of the plant and the colours make it so rewarding to grow! I would definitely recommend this strain to people who like fruity and colourful plants. Barneys never disappoints really;)

the girl is starting to bloom!!!!! I used LST this week, I didn't want it to get too high and become very visible, I don't want everyone around to see it :D:D Well, the girl looks really beautiful and healthy, although there wasn't much sun, but she got it for a few days:) good luck to everyone :)

The OG Kush made it through her final week of flower...56 days in total. Super sticky and smells like a mix of limonene and pinene and a hint of sweetness on the back end. I'm definitely happy I have a couple more of these beans. Super smooth run, chunky resinous buds. Thank you to everyone that visited to check my first Grow Diary out. You made it a really cool experience ✌️☺️. https://www.instagram.com/ao.grows?igsh=MXR1dWZxMWhlNnF6bA== Check out my Instagram for clips I made for this grow.

Week 3 – we started LST (Low Stress Training) and gently bent our beautiful girl to encourage better side growth and structure. She’s around 20 cm tall now and continues to grow strong — everything is going great so far! 💪🌱

Start these by mistake, wasn't quite prepared or set up correctly, these are being grown in a two by four budget

Day 159 - 11/11 : The calyxes are starting to swell, I can see the bud is looking more and more rounded Day 160 - 12/11 : She was given 6L of water with some trichoderma and a little molasses, there was 1.5L run off. Trichoderma will help keep the root healthy in case the issue is in fact soil related and a little molasses to keep all the microlife happy and add a little sugars for the plant. Day 164 - 16/11 : She is yellowing rapidly, drawing anything left in those big fan leaves. The buds are going through some pretty good swelling though. The trichomes still look mostly quite clear, but the buds look almost ready from the outside. It shouldn't be long until harvest. It seems as is she might finish a little earlier than the 9-10 weeks she normally goes through. Let's see. Day 165 - 17/11 : She was given 6L of water, there was around 2.5L run off and the run off measured 4.8 EC.

I was so excited to see some weed leaves pop out. Everyday the plants got noticeably bigger. I’m making sure their environment stays as consistant as possible. I did encounter my first issue. I went to refill my humidifier turns out the water had turned green. I emptied the tank into a glass you can see in the pics. Washed it and ill make sure to do so more frequently. I’m guessing it was stagnant for too long and algae grew? Has this happened to anyone? What cause it?

Hi all, Grow area updates: Nothing major far as area is concerned added Some yoyo’s to the net so it can be raised and lowered easily now. I also noticed I had been following ghp feeding schedule for a recirculating system when mine is drain to waste. Didn’t have in adverse effects on the plants at all actually think they loved it tbh. But I’ll notice the ppm difference on these future updates. I was using way more nutrients then what was needed. Now I get to save money lol. Blue dream auto: Def has the faint smell of flowering cannabis now. The branching power from the mixing blue dream and already branchy plant with the ruderalis is def perfect for a scrog set up when you trying to maximize the your yield off one plant. I had to visit the tent 3 times this week to re tuck her down. Did the last tuck Thursday so what you are seeing from the pics today is three days of growth. Crazy!!!! She sitting at about 900 ppm And that’s with cutting the the grow solution some. Master kush photo: She popped through the net mid this week and hit her first tuck under today. With how well she reacted to the femm job. I went ahead and topped on the new growth on each branch. Her branch structure is way more sturdy then autos for sure. Leaves are bigger as well. One is the size of my palm lol I have big hands so that’s awesome. She sitting at about 800 ppm and getting less bloom solution. I’d also like to add I appreciate everyone’s advice far as set up and temp control. It was above 100°F the last couple days. And tent never got over 85 and as soon as the hotter part of the day was over we where back in the 70’s. Ima smoke one for y’all! 🤘🏾 Until next time #StayKited

These were taken on day 59 I was a little late to put gettin them up. I've been doing some heavy flushes on some of them cuz the run off ppm was a little high. I mixed these with soil so I dont know if that's why it's not coming down as quick as usual but I'll keep poundin these ladies til the cows come home

I continue to see yellow leaves and cannot figure out the root of it. I can't tell if its a nutrient deficiency or a PH issue, if the nutrients that I add do no suffice then I will go get some PH down, as my soil PH is slightly high at 7.0, but I would not believe that could be the cause of it, only time will tell. To end on a more positive note, even with some yellow leaves some of these plants are bursting with life, and starting the 3rd week with some monster leaves for such a young plant. *UPDATE* We are now currently near the end of the weeks and the plants are beginning to truly thrive with some nice stalks and an explosion of colas. The yellowing seemed to stop now that I give it a regular supply of nutrients, also trimmed off any excessively yellow leaves. I did some very light pruning as well to allow more light to the newer colas and may have accidentally topped to runt plant way too early haha whoops so lets just hope for the best for the little guy.

A little over a week in the fade. She is just starting to show deficiency signs a little. Will likely be harvesting next week. Got some beautiful frosty buds, that smell amazing.

Happy growing 🌱🌱🌱

This week was no less stressful, but the previous week prepared us. More and more snow turns white. The microscope is ready. Nutrient solution at the maximum recommended parameters. But there is a problem with the tips of the leaves, they turn yellow first and then dry up and turn brown. I think this is the consequence of the maximum ppm. direct sunlight, a running giant fan at a distance of 20 cm, and an unstable ph lvl. There were significant changes in temperature from 16 at night to 31 during the day. The funnest is when it rains after a hot day. and they turn off the electricity at night. A humid environment of 65-70% without a fan is my nightmare in reality. So a piece of cardboard and energetic hand movements created the wind and the impression that I crazy But there are often good times, when the temperature is 26-27 degrees and the humidity is 45% without a humidifier. The girls smell amazing.😋😋😋

Start of Week 5 Over the last couple of days the smell went from a slight hint before entering the space to a pungent smell that just wofts from the plants. I've never grown a full screen before and never noticed how much these smell. It is possible it could be the Granddaddy Purple but my guess from the good bag smell on this strain, that it's the critical smell. I have two sections of plants growing from the same feeding resivour. For the first time ever I've decided to do a mid grow flush. I ran through 1-2gal of water on each 5 gal bucket. I use only perlite as medium so I figured that I wouldn't need much to flush. It all drained back to the main resivour and I disposed of it. I ran a 24hr cycle of straight PHed tallboy filtered tap water (160ppm) and then drained that again (340ppm). I refilled the resivour with fresh nutes and PHed again (1100ppm)
