Hello growmies! Welcome to week four of An Epsilon Adventure! The girls are already transitioning into flower, I will get some photos of that later in the week. Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow. Daily Updates: ### Week 4 Day 1 11:00 16/7 Removed some lower growth. ### Week 4 Day 2 23:00 17/7 Tallest plants were showing signs of heat stress so I have raised the light about 30cm more. Unfortunately this now means the lower plants aren't getting as much light as they could, so I have put the cycle back to 20h (I may even increase it). ### Week 4 Day 3 14:00 18/7 Photographed. ### Week 4 Day 3 19:00 18/7 Fertigated 2l. Okay these girls are now starting to concern me a little on the basis that they are supposed to grow to "50-70cm". At just over 3 weeks old the shortest of these girls is 53cm, the tallest (plant 3) is now 76cm tall. The worrying thing is they do not at all look like they are slowing down and as they are just pre-flowering now, the flowering stretch hasn't even started. So I need some genuine advice here now: Do I keep the faith and hope that they don't exceed the space I have? Do I top or super crop them now? These ladies are beastly, at the end of the week I am going to take some individual videos and more photos to really try and capture how magnificently well these girls are doing. I think I may be in the process of growing the biggest Epsilon F1's so far? Exciting to find out! ### Week 4 Day 4 21:00 19/7 James has assured me they wont go much more than 85 so I am not going to mess with them. They are due a defoliation at the end of this week though. Measured each plant as follows: Plant 1: 81cm Plant 2: 75cm Plant 3: 80cm Plant 4: 67cm Plant 5: 59cm Plant 6: 58cm Might photograph later or leave until tomorrow. ### Week 4 Day 5 10:00 20/7 Photographed and measured. Plant 1: 85cm Plant 2: 79cm Plant 3: 81cm Plant 4: 71cm Plant 5: 63cm Plant 6: 63cm So they've all grown about 4cm in about 13 hours, except plant 3 - which seems to have slowed down a lot. The top of plant 3 is also the most advanced looking in terms of pistils. I forgot to take close ups of the preflowers I will do that tomorrow. I have had to raise the light again today and it is now much further away than the younger plants than I would like. So I am thinking about adding a 300w LED into my 4x4. I have another 3 inches I can raise the light on the hangers, after that I can removed the adjustable handers and tie it to the top of the tent... that'll gain me another 4 or 5 inches. If I need to go higher my only option would be to set them up without the tent which is not an option right now. Hopefully they all just stop getting taller now and focus on flowering... but my gut tells me there's more growth to come. Watch this space! ### Week 4 Day 6 15:00 21/7 Measured. Average 10cm growth 29 hours. 😳😳😲 Plant 1: 96cm Plant 2: 89cm Plant 3: 88cm Plant 4: 81cm Plant 5: 73cm Plant 6: 72cm ### Week 4 Day 6 23:00 21/7 Defoliated. Only photographed plants 1 and 2 individually as I was short on time. Some lovely pics though! ### Week 4 Day 7 15:00 22/7 Fertigated. 2l Will photograph and measure later when they've had 24h since training. ### Week 4 Day 7 23:00 22/7 Photographed and measured: Plant 1: 102cm Plant 2: 93cm Plant 3: 89cm Plant 4: 85cm Plant 5: 76cm Plant 6: 75cm Well here we are at the end of week 4 and I am quite shocked by the growth of these girls. This strain averages 50-70cm in height. We have six plants here and every one of them is taller than the average... but would you just look at plant 1? She is a giant! 102cm!! Where will she stop? Next week will see the full transition to flower and we will start to see the bud sites developing. I have no idea at this point what the heights will look like at the end of next week. This is sort of new territory really, they weren't meant to get this big! --- 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 ==========

the suitcase was redone, I redid the activated carbon filter to the top of the bag, which helped reduce the temperature to 27° during the day:) girl, this will make you feel a lot better:) everything looks really good, I don't want to rejoice too early, but the first 2 weeks passed smoothly:) Day 14 I made a cut of the main ring for the girl :) which will reduce her height, I think it's only for the good :).

Lot more to this girl this week her buds are starting to bulk nicely and she is producing more of a smell I'm really pleased with how she is turning out for my first ever grow and a DIY Aero/Hydroponic system. This was the last week of nutrients I will now start to dilute/flush my reservoir by just adding water of PH 6.2 to the solution for the next few weeks and then plan to do a complete reservoir change to just water at a PH of 5.8 - 6.2 for the final flush. Happy growing 🌱

BEST genetics I want to see the different clours of the flowers right now🎌📸 Expectatives Is all. I have the BEST phenos here🎌🌱💣

Started off the week by transplanting from solo cups to the final 5G pot. Was having some high heats in the tent this week and the purple kush was not liking it. Feeding was every other day but the amount of nutrients were different almost every day. Was having difficult still with the right amount of nutrients to feed.

Candy gas ⛽️ 🍬

Growing nicely outdoors,internodal spacing pretty big but this is a trait of this strain.Long flowering,very happy with her.Heavy feeder from what I'm gathering

week 7 the buds look dens. I did minor defoliation and need to clean the plants more under the scrog. They are frosting up very nice and smells like creamy cheese cake. The EC has dropped from 1600 to 1440. Next week I will give them more food and fresh water in the reservoir and switch to 660w Boost HPS

I go for 7 weeks of veg, done with the LST last week and now i am waiting to get some height 40-45cm and switch to flowering. The broken stem of last week didnt survive. 😪 This week i give 350ppm, 650pmm was too mutch i think. I dont know if the high PPM of Run-Off was from overwatering or overfertilization, so i start to water less frequently every 6-7 days with RO only and see what the Run-Off says, the last time i water with RO only and the Run-Off was 856PPM, now i hope the Run-Off go down to 100-150PPM and start again with nutrients. 😵😵 13/3 Today i set up my second lamp 400watt HPS to check temps...all good! After i put the Co2 bag in grow room, i saw that the plant's can handle very hot temperatures, and i think they like somewere between 29-31C when the temps go high they look very happy, before the Co2 bag in this temperatures they struggled. 14/3 Defoliate all plants and two plants topped for 12 and 9 (the broken one) colas, the other two stays with 8 colas. Water 4 liters RO only and again the Run-Off was at 850PPM. Flush with 20-25liters tap water at 180PPM (Too hard in my town) and the Run-Off go down at 280PPM 💪 Next week i will give very small doses at 300-350PPM and see what is going to happen.

Week 6 of flower is done and the 4x4 is progressing nicely! The buds are all starting to fatten up, I'm especially loving Hella Jelly #1, especially the candy terps she's giving off. The Vanilla Frosting is the other big player in the tent, with the second Hella Jelly a bit smaller than the other two. The Jelly Donutz will be the last to be harvested, as she is developing her flowers more slowly. This tent will be a staggered harvest when it comes to it. These plants have been so easy to grow this run. The Autopot Tray2Grow living soil bed bed has been solid throughout the run, and this past week I installed Blumat Blusoak tape for the 2x4 Grassroots bed, which, up until this point, I have been hand watering. It always amazes me how automatic watering eliminates like 90% of the tent work. It is such a game changer, and the plants love it even more than hand watering because they drink how much they want when they want it! Hella Jelly is supposed to be a fast finisher (45 days sometimes!), so after this next week I will begin checking trichomes. My guess is another 2-3 weeks at least. The trichomes will guide me! Happy growing, growmies! 😎

This cheese need some more time to be fully mature

Bisher guter Stretch, nodien Abstand super. Bisher keine Mängel. Kein Überschuss.
