11/30: I harvested the first 6 today, flushed 5 more for the second time, and fed everybody else for the last time. I washed all the branches using the 4-step method ascribed by Doc Bud at High Times/420magazine and many other notable cannabis connoisseurs, with slight modifications: 4 x big plastic totes/bins 8 x ounces of 12% hydrogen peroxide (or 32 ounces of 3%) 2 x cups of concentrated lemon juice 2 x cups of baking soda 10 x gallons of water in each bin Unless your tap water stinks, you're safe to use tap water for the procedure, but I used an inline carbon hose filter to fill my buckets. Bin #1 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the hydrogen peroxide Bin #2 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the lemon juice and baking soda Bin #3 - 10 gallons of water as hot tap water Bin #4 - 10 gallons of cold tap water I was mainly concerned about removing as much lint and cat/dog hair as possible, but also rinsing off any residue left from all the various foliar applications of humic/fulvic acid, kelp, axiom, big bloom, and tiger bloom I did. First, I put my leaf blower on low speed and blasted my plants thoroughly, one at a time, replicating 50-60mph winds for about 10 seconds and watched as a whirlwind of debris and hair flew out the back door. Bud-washing: Pluck any necrotic plant material and any old fan leaves off while they're still on the plant. Then, take a handful of branches and submerge them in Bin #1 for about 30 seconds, agitating it, removing from water, submerging again, agitating, etc...then remove it and let it drip out for a few seconds...then repeat the process with Bins #2-4. Let it drip dry overnight with a little bit of airflow, then dry as you normally would...baskets, boxes, etc.. I hadn't watered these plants in a few days, so they were almost in draught, but after doing this procedure, they were fully hydrated(turgid) and seemed to have brighter colors than before. Nice!😍 12/1: The bottom part of the closet seems empty with only 9 plants in there.. 😟 I cut the harvested plants up and put them into drying baskets in the top of my closet with a small oscillating fan on. I've got the temperature fluctuating between 68f and 75f and the RH is staying between 48% and 52%. To do that, I had to take down the small light in the top of the closet to fit the drying baskets up there. So, I moved the 3 shorter plants still up there down to the bottom and put them on top of buckets. Now the bottom of the closet looks full again!😃 I'm anxious to finish up this grow so I can get busy growing the Fastbuds Fast Flowering Photo Testers!!! When I harvest the next 5, I'll flush the remaining plants really well and that will be all the flushing they'll get..I'll let them dry back out for a few days and harvest them. I've got to make some minor improvements to the garden (adding UV, blue and red/far red booster panels and intake fans) That should put me on track to start germinating them by mid-December if all goes well. 12/3: ...early a.m... The harvested plants are already dry!?!?? And have excellent texture??? Wow..bud washing is for real..roughly 48 hours after I hung them to drip dry, and 40 hours after I put them in baskets in 50% RH/70f conditions with moderate airflow...usually takes 4 or 5 days to get a good slow-dry in the same conditions, so I'm convinced that this must be attributed to the bud-washing procedure. I'm sold! Here's the talley so far: plant #1 - 115g (plus 13g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] plant #2 - 108g (plus 18g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] plant #3 - 119g (plus 15g larf) - C4ndycaine [Candy Cane x C4] plant #4 -  92g (plus 6g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] - the smallest plant in the main area plant #5 - 112g (plus 22g larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] plant #6 -  75g (no larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] - grown in upper area under 200w ...afternoon: I flushed 6 of the last 7 plants for the first time today and harvested 4 more of them. I washed them and hung them to dry.....my dripping wet bathing beauties!😍

Doing great as you can see, flipped schedule to 12/12 hope it goes into flowering in a couple of days. Plant is loving the rqs organic pellets in the substrate

Looking well

Week 2 of flower is in the books and all 3 girls are looking extremely healthy. Perfect time to start packing on the weight. There are tons if bud sites that will get tons of light due to all the defoliation I've done. I've never defiliated plants this much before and I'm curious to see the difference in bud production below the canopy level. I love trying new things and experimenting with these plants. Always coming up with new ideas on how to do things and making things easier along the way. Can't wait to see how much I'll get off all 3 and see the difference in phenotypes.

Day 36. topping for seven branches. Day 38. Water with 2L nutrients mix. Day 39. does super cropping for four brunches. Day 40. Switch to 12/12h

Great Week! Girls are getting bigger and loving there new light. LST is going well. They are showing there sex and will be going into there stretching phase

Die Woche war anstrengend, die Luftfeuchtigkeit ist stark gefallen so bin ich froh rechtzeitig wieder einen Befeuchter reingestellt zu haben. Zum Gießen muss ich aber immer alles ausbauen 😑 Die Arme der Pflanzen sind recht dünn und biegen sich jetzt schon enorm. Durch hochschieben des Netzes versuche ich mehr Stabilität herzustellen. Die Blüten sehen trotz allem sehr gut aus, und duften sehr süß, sind voll mit Harzdrüsen 😍

Week 8: Flourishing in Week 4 of Flowering! Greetings, fellow cultivators! Prepare to be dazzled as we embark on a journey through the enchanted realm of our beloved Epsilon F1. In this week's installment, we witness the culmination of four weeks of flowering, a spectacle of botanical brilliance that leaves us in awe. Our Epsilon F1, like a celestial goddess, continues to captivate with her unparalleled beauty and grace. Each day brings new wonders as she flourishes under the tender care of her devoted grower. The once delicate buds have now swelled into majestic colas, adorned with a blanket of trichomes that glisten like a galaxy of stars against the night sky. But let us not overlook the journey that has brought us to this moment of splendor. From the humble beginnings of a tiny seed, our Epsilon F1 has weathered the trials and tribulations of growth with unwavering resilience. With each passing week, she has unfolded her true potential, reaching ever closer to botanical perfection. As we gaze upon her now, we are reminded of the magic that lies within the cannabis plant – a medicine that heals both body and soul, a gift from nature to be cherished and revered. With each puff, we are transported to a realm of tranquility and euphoria, where worries fade and serenity reigns supreme. But let us not forget the hands that tend to this earthly paradise. To Royal Queen Seeds, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for bestowing upon us the genetic marvel that is the Epsilon F1. To Aptus Holland, our steadfast companion on this journey, whose nutrients have nourished our plant from seedling to harvest. And to the grow diaries community, whose support and camaraderie have made this journey all the more rewarding. Ah, but there's a twist in our tale! As our Epsilon F1 enters this crucial phase of flowering, we've made a strategic adjustment to her nutrient regimen. We've stopped the addition of phosphorus (P) and increased potassium (K). Why, you ask? Because at this stage, our plant's demand for potassium is at its peak. Potassium plays a vital role in flower development, improving bud formation, density, and overall quality. By prioritizing potassium over phosphorus, we're ensuring that our Epsilon F1 receives the nutrients she needs to produce those big, frosty buds we all dream of. As we bid adieu to Week 8 and look ahead to the weeks to come, let us revel in the splendor of our Epsilon F1's flowering phase. May her beauty continue to inspire and her harvest be abundant. Until next time, happy growing, dear friends! #EpsilonF1FlowerPower #Week8FloralFantasy #BotanicalBrilliance #RoyalQueenSeedsGenetics #AptusHollandNourishment #GrowDiariesCommunityStrength Genetics -Epsilon F1 @rqs_esp @royalqueenseedssp @rqsglobal Food - @aptusholland @aptus_world @aptus_es @aptus_portugal @aptusbrasil @aptusplanttechaus @aptus_thailand @aptusplanttechnz @aptususa_official LES @lumatekeu Controls - @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.agro @trolmaster.support As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life With true love comes happiness , Always believe in your self and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart , be a giver the universe will give back to you in ways you could not even imagine so #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #rqs #ApoloMission #MoonHarvestAdventure #playwithlego #lego #legotime #legovideo #tothemoonandback More info and complete updates from all my adventures can be found Link in the profile description Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only Growers Love To you All

All 5 seeds are sprouted very quick and I have now 5 small plants.

12.05 As I already wrote last week the autopot system is now in production and I only take care of the solution in the tank. The PH lvl raised by the last day, so I am now at around 6.3 which is a good value in my opinion. I raised the base EC a bit with Canna Calmag since I gave around 30% more into my water. Base EC was around 0.6 and is now at 1.3 after adding the Hesi scheme. In my other grow there are slightly magnesium deficit, that's why I decided to give a bit more of canna calmag into my osmosis water. 17.05 Defoliatet for the last time.

I believe that this is an incredible strain if you have the option to have more plants. I believe i have around 20 nice grams. I will update once it’s dry.

Edit soon

Day 70 - 2cm taller this week. Flowering stretch all but finished. Flowers are forming fast. The pungent smell is not too strong at this moment.
