Still not a drop of rain for the last 3 weeks, 26C daily, full sun, really exploding in growth these days. Gave her another soak of some local Kelp / Fish mix, also been spraying with Aloe / Neem / Kelp mix twice weekly. Responding well to very little nutes / water. Catepillers seem to have peaced out, this warm weather caused their population to explode, lettuce and other veg was also hurt, not normal. FIM recovery was very quick, I'll be fimming 3 top nodes this weekend, need to keep this height under control at this rate of growth.

Hello everyone week 1 has passed for this Purple Lemonade auto from Fast Buds 😎 this plant is doing very well growing at fast pace and with a beautiful green colour on the leaves. Spider Farmer SE-7000 50% wish you all happy growing!

Following RQS auto guide : https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-how-to-grow-autoflowering-cannabis-n83 WEEK 1: GERMINATION AND EARLY SEEDLING STAGE #1 15.3. - #7 21.3. 13.3. 23.30 Three pots has growth above, so will now start writing things for 1week. And still waiting for the purplematic to catch up :) -Added 1 more timelapse camera -Removed rest of the wraps -Added new potmarkers for better visibility in new "basecam" -Noticed water buildup behind coal filter added styrofoam pieces behind it to move it away from walls -Started the exhaus fan -Outside temp is now +2'c which is 'bout 17c degrees warmer then week ago, so everything is timing out just nice. -Again roamed around the tent so much that i accidentally seem to have moved my temp monitor so now the camera cant pick up its readins have to go move it a bit tomorrow, (moved, pic updated) also tought about getting a netatmo for remote readings But ended up ordering the basic 3-1 meter (the green knob version that has light, hum, ph on switch) 14.3. Added 1st timelapse "test" video, can see the growth of 2nd leaf pair. (updated) -Also ordered some "BioBizz Bio-Grow" nutes for growperiod -For now will only add some basic info without exact metrics and just 1 pic from the "skycam" and one from the "basecam" 15.3. Updated pics and test video to have one more day in it. Will water (watered 11th or 12.3. 1½liters each) and updated info 16.3 at some point 16.3. Added a longer timelapse vid from base cam about "Dancing seedlings" (The one in the left down corner is not visible in "basecam" yet.) All 4 out of 4 have now germinated and grown above ground. Added 1ltr of water around the plants, so about 2dl / pot. Nutes i've thrown in raw few days ago few splashes here and there aroudn the soil. The bio-grow order arrived, will be adding that around thursday. Also decided to change the week rhytm so that a week always starts on monday and ends on sunday, so i can be more clear on what week or which day of a current week is going on. (so even thou its now "4th" day of this week, im counting it as a 2nd day as its tuesday) 18.3. Mixed about 2ml of biobizz grow to a 1,5liter of water, stirred and tossed at the plants, keeping up with current reported watering amount (about 2,5dl/every2nd day) Checked the lux, moist,ph with the 3in1 meter. Luxes were about 200, will throw in my other ESL in the tent also, maybe during weekend. That should also heat the tent up a bit for better temps. PH 7+, i think, if i read the meter correctly or use it correctly, so ordered bottles of Canna PH- grow and Canna PH- bloom. Moist was 5/10-7/10 so "moist"-level between dry and wet Moved the basecam around and 2 plants (obviously with soil etc) so all 4 are more visible in the timelapse (uploaded newest timelapse) Also hoping for the winter to pass on already so i get higher temps and better grow, plants seem to be taking a bit longer to grow at these sub20 temps. Well it should warmp up in a 1-2weeks. Currently night temp outside -6'c. Would like it to go up a 10-15degrees. Dont want to turn off the exhaust to warm up either. Will see if the additional lamp helps, cant remember if it was 100,120,150w ESL or so. (edit: checked, was 65w, will wire it now 20.3) 20.3. Watered the plants with nutes and updated the nute amounts, about 1,5liters divided in 4pots, so about 3,5dl each, then again the pots are "huge" so... Still the growth for the roots and above ground is very slow and possibly because the temps are so low, it should start to go above +'c degrees again starting 22.3. so next week. Hopefully will wire up the 65ESL today, and maybe install tomorrow then, that should give a little temp boost, i would also have a 200w heater i could add in the tent, but not surr if i will... Will update the timelapse tomorrow after 2nd ESL install. 21.3. Added the 65watt ESL lamp (blue) and put it closest to solomatic which is least grown so far Added timer to exhaus fan so now its 50% off and 50% on, to raise temperatures, immeadiate effect was about +3degrees after lamp and fan adjstm. So now temp inside tent (above plants and exhaust point) is 25,8+'c Updated timelapse video to lastest and while inspecting it ->OMG the other purplematic seed can also be seen dancing up, just under the 3-1 meter, thought one of them wouldn't make it, but there she is. So now there is 5 plants , will see if i'll keep both purples' depens how they fit in the same space, would be intresting thou. Also as i always talk about weather outside... now between +3'c and +5'c so hopefully we stay in this and go just upwards, so the air gets more moist and warmer also inside the tent 21.3. 8hours after exhaust fan 50% and 65w more CFL, the tent is now at up to 26,1'c which is so far the highest, so will keep it like this for a while, now have to see what to do with lux and moist, ordered moist meter i can just leave there and will be visible in the cam. Also ordered a lux meter, im sure there is more lux then the 300 the 3in1 meter showd, 'cause with my telephone i got 2300lux of the same LED which i have 2 in the tent, (using one in house for other plants) 21.3. 23.xx Just noticed this was the last day of the first week, wouldn't even notice the growth without the daily check of the timelapse :) that really helps out. Hottest tent temp been that 26 and now "night temp" at 24. So this is way better than that 10degrees less ;) I'll update with new "proper" pictures the start of new week and open it up "tomorrow"(maybe).

The colors this week are almost overwhelming! I am particularly excited as last time I ran her she wasnt nearly as colorful. The scent is also really starting to get up there & is noticable even with carbon filter. Shes starting to have a few pistols wither so she cant have long left. Check back next week to see just how fast she buds & remember its 4:20 somewhere!!

Week 9 looking good getting ready to chop down both lsd25s the big bud and cherry cola still have time to thicken up for sure

End of week 5. Plants have grown a lot. Nice stretch last week. Nice bushy plants, make sure to do defoliation .these will take longer than the other FastBuds strains I have going at the same time. Lights and genetics working great

16.06

Go to 5

These genetics are insane

So amazing strain

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 ==========

Beginning of week 3. The ZKittles are looking good for 15 days. Had a full feeding yesterday, considering the growth overnight it looks like they liked it! Interested to see how much they grow this week. The end of week 3. the girls are 20 days old today. They got a watering with Azos and Molasses this morning. And the "water" on the plants is foliar spray. They are right at 6 inches tall as of this evening. They grew since I took the pictures this morning. Really happy. They just look great.

Bueno familia después de una buena defoliacion y riego ..ya hemos preparado el @wifiindoor remoto a 12/12 h para el cambio a floración... Así que mañana comienza la preflora ... Veremos a estas niñas en todo su esplendor próximamente ..con ganas de verlas ya jejejeje @marshydro_amazonled @130.devin_mars @marshydroled_amazon @coco_pan2022 @marshydro_amazon @co.ol9055

to mutch cold here 2 week with low temps at night cicle betwen 12 &16 graus in europe. maybe this is the reason of that purple orange colors (:

06.05. Day 100 60 Days of flowering Harvestday May 6th — what a day. Back from vacation in the afternoon and wrapped up the Grow Cup in the evening. It was a long, exhausting day, but one I’ll never forget. Those five legendary ladies made it truly unforgettable!
