This week marked the final stretch of the grow the Epsilon F1 is now fully mature and absolutely covered in thick, frosty trichomes. The main colas have gained impressive density, with most pistils turning a rich orange while the trichome heads are mostly milky with a few amber ones starting to appear. The fade is beautiful, with yellow and purple tones spreading through the fan leaves as the plant naturally finishes its life cycle and directs all remaining energy into the buds. The aroma has become more intense and complex sweet, fruity, and slightly earthy. Overall, she looks perfectly healthy and ready for harvest very soon. A light flush is underway, and I’ll be checking the trichomes daily to harvest at the ideal point depending on the desired effect, either a bit earlier for a more uplifting high or a few days later for a deeper, more relaxing one.

👉 This is the first staggered harvest I have done. The highest parts of the plant were definitely ahead of each lower level of flowers. So it made sense to give this a try. Also, there were so many sugar leaves in the flowers I knew I was facing some major trim time. So I started at the highest branch of colas and that was the main stem…what I call the Queen cola, on April 4. I was also very busy with work and life so I spaced out each successive branch by a day or two…or so. To harvest I would cut each major branch from the top down. There would be one major cola ( and best specimen) on each branch. That cola was trimmed so it was still on its stem and then weighed. I recorded the weight of the cola then assigned it a letter, put on a clothes pin, then hung on a rack. I would weigh the cola over a couple of days till it had loss 75% of it wet weight. I would cut from the stem for the final weight, then place in a jar with a hygrometer. I would monitor the jars and if they were above 62% I would take off the jar lid, then replace when humidity was back down. When stable I put a humidity pack in some of the jars, but not all, just to see if I can observe a difference after the cure. 👉 My last trim penance was served on May 1. Almost a full month. The first cola harvested is already being tested. I did a close trim and removed as many sugar leaves as possible. I think I spent over 10 hours in total. So glad I chose to stagger the job. I trimmed any frosty sugar leaves over a trim tray with a screen for a bottom. I also scissored a bunch of the larf buds into small bits to add to the trim. I made a nice small wafer of just trichomes with no plant matter. Very nice, sweet stuff. I’m letting the large pile of trimmed sugar leaves dry out till crispy and will hand grind them over that screen and press the kief produced into pucks. It’s green and has lots of plant material with it…but its still sweet, and a very nice topper to a bong or joint. 👉 There were a lot of nice buds of what I call secondary flowers. Those were on secondary branch ends mostly. These buds were placed on a dry net. After 24hrs, I placed them in a paper bag. When they had lost 75% of their wet weight they were put into a jar with a hydrometer. Almost everything that wasn’t a branch end flower was put in the larf bin. Lots of larf. I didn’t weight any of it dry and just the wet weight from a couple of branches. I plan on making bubble hash and extracts (oil and tincture) with the larf. Of course planning and doing are two separate issues. I have acquired all the proper gear and done lots of research. I am also experimenting with the drying environment. In the past I was using a direct fan to oscillate directly on the buds for 24 hrs. At 24hrs the buds were put in bags and also kept them in direct wind. After a couple of branch sets I decided to stop oscillating the fan and make the breeze indirect. I still put the buds in bags after 24 hrs and kept the wind indirect. It took a few days to get to 25% doing it this way, as opposed to 2 days in bags with direct wind. The slower is supposed to be better, but risks moldy buds. I’m not doing everything the same way so I’m curious to see if there are perceptible differences in jar aroma and taste. To further complicate things to eye-roll status, The staggered harvest should have improved the lower level of flowers to the same ripeness. I can honestly tell buds from the same plants taken at different levels. The lower ones are noticeably weaker. I won’t start testing to see if there is improvement till the flowers are at least 4 months cured.

Coming into week 6, frost has covered pretty much everything. Terps are starting to come out more. What started as more of a pinesol smell has now become more gassy/old school funk. Pungent. Smells so bad, but you can’t stop smelling it. I upgraded my ventilation to a 10” ac infinity carbon filter and inline fan. That thing is an absolute unit and does work. Buds are starting to swell now, look like they’re going to start stacking nicely now. Plants are drinking probably 30 gallons a week.. runnin a 50% water change every Saturday.

🚀🚀🚀 Let's fly to another weeK 🚀🚀🚀 🌸 Dozi ZoZi – Breed Bros 🌸 WE jump in to day 36D and also first flowering days 😍 Watering PH 6.7 Temp is around 27 and RH 65% and more in the night. There were small deficiencies on the lower leaves, so I give her a 2ml of CANNA terra Vega. BUT only one in this week 🙌 ALL is going well, she jumps in to flowering very nice. D38: She starts to look very nice. She likes a first watering with CANNA. I also give her a Soil Clean in the last day. D39: I changed a lamp distance to 25 cm I used white pins to point the tops in the right direction and give them better access to the light. AND make some new photos. THX for watching and until next time! 👊

7/19: Started new nutrients today. Filled gallon jug with new nutes. Poured half of new nute mix in half gallon jug. Poured the entire half gallon jug into reservoir. 7/20: Bumped light intensity to 50% 7/21: Filled reservoir to the 2nd line today. Added a total of 1 gallon to res to get it to that line. Poured the rest of the mixed nutes for this week (half gallon) and then another half gallon of just plain water. 7/24: Bumped light intensity to 55% 7/25: Sadness today 😞.. While in the process of doing more LST today I accidentally snapped the main stem. I Panicked! Moved plant back in opposite direction to counteract the split. Will be monitoring very closely! 🙏🏾 ***** For this Grow****** “Day Air Temperature” will be the max temp of tent for the week. “Substrate Temperature” will be the average temp of tent for the week. “Night Air Temperature” will be the lowest temp of the tent for the week.

16/04/2021 Llego el momento de iniciar temprano un nuevo cultivo de suelo vivo. Para ello comenzamos armando el sustrato (200L) para posteriormente dejarlo pre mezclado y con su vida correspondiente para recibir a estos 4/5/6 esquejes que van a ingresar. Se instalo el sistema de riego sensible de Blumat Tropf con sus dos zanahorias y 5 puntos de goteo por cada una, con apenas dos Dias ya observamos como se germinaron esas lentejas que van a producir ese cover crop y alojar a todos esos hongos benéficos de sus raíces hasta esperar que lleguen las plantas. 21/04/2021 Las lentejas ya germinaron de manera correcta, se colocó el mulch orgánico y el sustrato continua con una muy buena humedad por lo que se estima que la vida debajo se está poniendo interesante. 27/04/2021 Hoy sigue a la espera de una nueva luz Quantum Board 240w para este espacio, de todas maneras se colocaron las plantas en el espacio de cultivo para ver cómo queda la dispocion!

Mit einem Blick auf die fünfte Blütewoche der Permanent Marker von Traphouse Genetics präsentiert sich die Pflanze in absoluter Bestform, wobei die generative Entwicklung exakt nach Plan verläuft. Das dichte, tiefgrüne Blätterdach zeugt von einer optimalen Nährstoffversorgung, während sich die Blütenkelche ungestört differenzieren und bereits deutlich an Masse zulegen. Die kompakten Internodienabstände, ein Resultat des erfolgreichen Lollipopping und Toppings, führen nun zur Ausbildung mehrerer ausgeprägter, langer Colas. Mit dieser Bilderbuch-Entwicklung sind alle anatomischen und physiologischen Voraussetzungen für eine ertragreiche finale Phase dieser vielversprechenden Genetik geschaffen.

July 5 - The girls are still doing awesome. temps are between 21-26. Humidity is 40-50. Still feeding every 24-36 hours with 3L per plant. July 6 - They are doing good. Showing lots of flower sites now. Unfortunately I did not get any pictures today. July 7 - Tons of progress since last week. I don't see any signs of any problems, and still no pests! The smell is getting A lot stronger as it starts to flower more July 8 - Still doing there thing, no problems, temps and humidity is fine. Have been feeding every 24 hours now as they seem to be really thirsty July 9 - Super happy with how they are doing. No issues yet. Smell is heavier, and tons of bud sites showing up. Only issue is they are growing pretty uneven. July 10 - Time to get a even canopy! First time doing some HST. I also did some defoliation. One of the stems split open a bit but it seems to be doing just fine. I did he HST and defoliation in the morning, i then took pictures of 12 hours later and everything seems just fine! July 11 - Everything seems to be a lot more even and the broken stem doesn't seem to affect the growth.

I love the sativa shaped nug-towers! When my plants grow big, I like to grow them until the very end of their cycle! That's why the extended flower period. Video of Measurement of yield: T=Tops(92grams), M=Mids(59.1 grams), L=Lowers(58.6grams) Total: 209.7 grams (1-2 grams worth, was taste-tested prior to scaling.)

Hello everyone Welcome 🙂 In the end I harvested at day seventy of flowering ✂️⚘ This strains was pretty easy to grow and doesn't stretch to much.. Internodes are very close , but onestly this I have to say happends mostly of the time thanks to infrared in led light.. In any case , she's a very good choise for indoor : 1: She produce a good amount od dense flowers and the central cola wasn't to much bigger respect the lower branches.. In fact, the central flower is practically the same size as the lower primary flowers 💪 The aroma is delicate , a little sweet and earthy with somnthing else.. Nice one cannabis flowers about smell and taste , but nothing to special , for my experience.. But onestly , one thing I really need to say it's, trichomes are pure glue 🔥 During I roll the joint for the taste test , I was have hard time due the stickiness.. Very difficult to close 😅 Not to much to see her finish burn 😎 Nice oil all around the ash , on the rolling paper.. Almost all white.. Smooth and clean.. Much better on the Mighty or on the Ghost mv1 And more potent 🚀👌 I usually vapes at the temperature around 177° to 195° , with Ghost 200° The effect is very calm , mellow state but you can do things or work out , it not knock you out 😁 At least on me About the Living Soil High-Brix recipe Loke I say week by week , for this lasy I have use a 20l geotextile pot with around 1/3 of the Living Soil I have made ( in this case in november 2019 ) Isn't a Super Soil subcool recipe or similar.. Trought this metodology we're not feeding the plants , but the soil.. Basycally the important things are principaly four Soil energy Cation exchange Microbial activity Mineral balance Soil energy is kept high with humus Cation exchange with rock powders Microbial activity is achieved with innoculants and some teas or other Mineral balance is achieved by adding the micronutes and having everything in the right ratio's For doing this I have use a base mostly of light-mix soil with already perlite inside ( classic cannabis soil ) coco nut humus zeolite then I have add Neem soil , Kelp , Krill , Azomite , Basalt , Gypsum , Calcium Carbonate , Phosforite , Alfalfa and Leonardite Then I was have "cooking" it for a month an half.. And this was the engine that allowed the plant to stay in constant health, keeping the Brix level high 🌋 During the flowering time I have add mostly only water , one times a week with molasses for feeding the microbs.. I have also make a humus/nutrient tea for she and her sisters , just one time.. I'm feel good doing in this way , like it and I understand so many more things about the lives into the ground in general.. But just for be precis For having the high brix in plants we can not just have a good soil but everything around her , the envroiment , especyally in indoor.. And obviously a fundamental it's First , great strain 💪🌳🔥 Second , love Anyway.. At the end she was produces around 29g of flowers dryed , manicured and cured for about one month and a weeks.. Good strain.. And thats all for this diary thank you so much at all supporter during the grow , or only now : 1:: 1: 🙏 See you somewhere 😎 Always growing 🌱🌳🔥 Ciao ✌️ 🇮🇹 BONUS I have also growing the same strain but in different ways.. Here is the link below 👇 https://growdiaries.com/diaries/48209-barney-039-s-farm-dos-si-dos-33-grow-journal-by-funclouds And I have using the same type of "Living Soil High-Brix" with this other lady , Blue Gelato #41 👇 https://growdiaries.com/diaries/46282-barney-039-s-farm-blue-gelato-41-grow-journal-by-fun-clouds

Been away for more than a week so unfortunately missed week 3 of the diary. During my absence baby girl grew well and became pretty big already, especially considering her state before. Decided to try LST and brought down the top branch. She starts to show couple of white hairs so next week should be the start of flowering. Branch went up well on the next day after tie down. Removed larger leaves blocking the light, baby looks great.

Day 28 of flower and I’m very happy with these two ladies atm. In both vids, you can tell which one will have the fatter nuggs. The plant in the first vid, was transplanted into Fox Farm Ocean Soil and the other was not. I can tell you right now, your grow medium definitely makes or breaks your grow. I will be using FF as medium of choice from here on out. Not much else to say other than they’re done stretching and are starting to fattening up every day. Got a little over 40 days left until it’s harvest time. 42 to be exact! But I’ll catch yall on the next update ✌️🏾

hi guys, so situation: i guess we are 2 week from the cut, if the weather keep this sunny and warm September. update on the plant: first of all I'm pretty disappointed of the size of the colas, very very small, not nearly as thick as I would imagined. Since I've been growing a lot of autos recently I had more big colas with them than with this fem, just disappointing. so now the problem is: why are the colas not that dense? yes, I had a problem with K (deficiency) at the start of flowering, but was in early stages, and i quickly added K to the solution. my guesses: -I used product of the line biobizz, the try pack, and I think they were just not good enough for a feminized plant, because the pH was right all the time so i don't think it was a block. -didn't topped my plant, I know its a way to enhance the production, but I was curious to see the normal growth of the plant. -grown in pot, maybe wrong pot? too hot in the summer? -wrong substrate? (I mixed three different types, adding compost and manure, beside perlite and vermiculite of course) -bad climate/genetics? (this year was heavy hot but a lot of rainy days too, often in spring) the quality seems fine, nice smell and very sticky on the hand but very very small buds :( the last week an invasion of borer, I hate those fuckers, it's impossibile to control them, as soon as I stopped the foliar application of neem/aloe they arrived, really annoying.

Soil ph resolved, back to 6.7. End of this week all will get their final top dress and then will just be getting ph'd water with CalMag+ through the remainder of flower. I do plan on adding molasses 2-3 tbsp/gl every 3 to 4 days to feed the microbes. PP has such a strong fruity aroma, WW is hashy, GSD still smelling like a bag of candy. The BD has not really impressed me with growth, tricomes or environmental tolerance....finicky bitch! GSD looks like hell as well with continuing leaf purpling and yellowing. The GSD would have been absolutly FIRE if it had gotten flipped way earlier (note to self for future runs with it).

From the 9th day I started adding Hesi Root Complex 1ml and 2ml PowerZyme per 1L of water. We poured out water only as needed and did not water the stem! Day 13. I increased Hesi Root Complex to 5ml/1L Hesi PowerZyme 2ml/1L We poured out water only as needed and did not water the stem!

This photo rotation is not moving outdoors.Anymore, it is staying inside to compensate for my small auto.Rotation, I am currently preparing more photos to move outside. I may actually wind up making a third and fourth diary.Because i'm gonna grow another rotation for my outdoor plants.And i'm going to get some of my own strains to my cousin
