• Outdoor 51° N Balcony Grow (Southeast) • 75 days from seed to harvest. • Total wet plant weight is 75 g • Total dry plant weight 15.5 g The leaves are starting to turn yellow, and Epsilon F1 is now ready for harvest. The trichomes are mostly cloudy, with around 5% turning amber. This has been one of the quickest plants I’ve ever grown. Outdoor growing conditions were less than ideal this summer, with some very cold days in July followed by very hot days in August, which likely contributed to the plant’s shorter final height of just 45 cm. Despite this, Epsilon F1 developed a dense, large cola bud covered in trichomes and a pleasant citrus scent. Epsilon F1 also appears to be quite resilient against spider mites. Another plant of mine, Royal Runtz, which was growing right next to it, suffered a severe spider mite infestation, but Epsilon F1 was barely affected. I did, however, use predatory mites as a preventive measure during the last week of flowering. I recommend this strain for small outdoor grow spaces. However, the 18-liter container I used was too large. In the future, I would consider applying some low-stress training (LST) to increase bud sites or perhaps grow two plants in a single large container. The drying phase lasted 5 days, with humidity levels between 50-57% and temperatures ranging from 22-25°C. The total dry weight is 15.5 g, including 5 g of popcorn buds and sugar leaves. Due to unfavorable weather conditions during the 2024 outdoor season, the final height and yield of Epsilon F1 were rather small. The lower branches produced only small buds. Nevertheless, all the buds were very sticky and covered in trichomes. Epsilon F1 has a mild, flowery and citrus taste, with a relaxing, body-focused high.
