Epsilon F1 - First (1)

senkief 4.11. The medium is still wet so no need for watering. The seedling is doing fine, the lights are at about 40 cm from the leaves so it shouldn't get too stretched.

senkief 4/15 Watered with half dosage nutrients including basic ones for grow for the first time. Silica, CalMag, A+B, roots booster and correct the water pH to 5.8 with Plagron Lemon Kick. Each plant got around 500ml of watering solution. Lights are at 25% intensity. 💡 Light cycle set to 20/4. ☀️

senkief 4/23 It seems that she liked her first feed, so I gave some more with the same dosage. In the next few days, she developed another set of leaves and basically doubled in dimensions. 😁 You can see the difference between day 16 and day 21 🙌 Feed schedule so far: DAY 8 - 1st feed 🍼 DAY 11 - pHed water 💦 DAY 16 2nd feed 🍼

senkief 4/29 I am leaving for the week but the medium still feels wet, so I did not water also to test how the plants can do without care for a few days.

senkief 5/6 Just came back from my trip and I am so glad to see that the ladies are doing fine Watered at pH 5.8 like usual and increased the dosage of the nutrients.🍼 I started with some proper LST. I tied the majority of the branches and some of the leaves with gardening wire but this time I tried to anchor them straight into the ground, which I am afraid wont be sufficient to resist the pulling force of the plants. We will see. 5/11 After five days I had to feed again, keeping the same levels of nutrients. She is growing well, the difference between day 29 and 34 is notable and I do not see anything worrying as far as I can tell.💪

senkief 5/13 - DAY 36 Great progress for this lady as you can see from the pictures, In a few days, also the lower branches have been stretching, helping the plant to occupy a larger portion of the pot's surface. 5/17 - DAY 40 It looks like pre-flowering time for this lady, even though I can't see any visible pistils, it could be it and that would also explain the stretching. From this point, I increased the A B nutrients to the advised quantity which might be probably too more? Let's see how she will react

senkief 5/22 - DAY 45 Flowering's here!! 🌼🌸🌹 I am feeding 1,5 liter of water and the same amount of nutrients plus a touch of PK 13-14. The top leaves show some sign of what I believe to be heat stress - I would be so grateful if somebody actually know what that is. The light was at 40 cm so I raised it a little bit, 5/25 - DAY 49 Probably this lady has got to her final shape, at least as far as developing new branches go. Everything looks cool for keeping up with the flowerings stage. Buds are forming in all the spots and I am trying to tie branches and leaves around to give more space to the bottom ones, even though looking at the pictures I could have probably remove some of them.

senkief 5/27 -DAY 51 Defoliated a little since she had too many leaves and I found a few small leaves on the ground forming some mold!! I moved the main fan and I will probably add two small ones for the bottom of the plant because the air flowing is not ideal and the humidity is way too high. 😰 Watered as usual plus I added a 0,5 ml/l of Plagron Green Sensation and I stopped with Power Roots, 5/29 - DAY 53 After a couple of days, I noticed that the LST I did was not enough: the wires I have been using are flimsy and they were anchored mainly inside the coco, which clearly is not enough to resist the branches pulling upward. So I tried installing a trellis, not one specific for cannabis but one for strawberries that I found at home. 6/2 -DAY 57 I would like to flat the canopy even more, however the main stem is thick and I don't want to risk to damage it while bending it. The trellis helps just to keep it from growing more vertically. The lights are at 60 cm from the canopy. I changed the cycle to 18/6 and the light intensity was raised to 80%. ☀️ After defoliating and LST, the humidity decreased from 75% to 68%. Another feed with the same amount of nutrients as on day 51.

senkief 6/3 - DAY 58 I am leaving for a few days so hopefully she will stay fit. I raised a couple of bud spots over the net to move them away from the middle and let more light come in for the lower ones. 6/10 - DAY 65 Came back from my trip and found my lady fine and healthy 😍 Trichomes are much more visible and the buds are bulking up, I can see even some darker pistils. I know that they still are very "straight" and "open" if that makes sense, so definitely not ready yet, but I am glad that she did well on her own for a few days. I removed few old small leaves at the bottom of the plants and played again with some of the branches to give each bud spot enough space. 🍃 Today I watered the same amount of main nutrients but removed Silica and increased levels of Green Sensation and PK13-14. Increased light intensity to 100%

senkief 6/15 - DAY 70 Watered the usual amounts, slightly decreasing Green Sensation while increasing PK13-14. Also, I wanted to try some new products from Plagron specific for flowering - Power Buds and Sugar Royal, so I added the smallest amount, around 0,25 ml/liter each. The buds are looking fine, maturing, the pistils started to curl and there are many orange ones, also the leaves are decoloring. I am facing a heating and humidity issue though, that is why I brought in a new dehumidifier and tried to fix the exhausting system to increase air flow in the grow box.

senkief 6/19 - DAY 74 I feed some nutrient probably for the last time, removing totally the main A+B and all the extra like CalMag and Green Sensation while giving just something for the latest flowering. 😄 6/22 - DAY 77 It's time for flushing! I am doing it for the first time and I decided to give initially just tapped water from the sink, which has an Ec value of around 0,6. I gave around 15 liters and then one last liter with pH 5,8. 💦 In order to do this process, I also had to remove the trellis and I must say that I did it gladly. I thought that using a net could be cool but that turned out to be a bad idea in this case. Even though some of the branches seemed to stay in place, soon they begun to move as the trellis was not enough to keep the tension. Basically, since the main branch was quite higher than the others, I could not really use the net to space them out as I wanted to. I believe that a classic LST, if did properly, would have been much more efficient. Good to know for the next grow

senkief 6/24 - DAY 79 After flushing, the leaves started to change colours quickly, so hopefully it will be time for harvest soon. The medium was still wet so no watering needed, however I think that I should have kept the ties used for the LST since the buds are getting too much closer to each other.
