Mandarin Cookies #3 x Grandpa's Cookies #6
ETHOS Genetics
Growing it
Easy
Resistance
Neutral
This Mandarin Cookies is hands down the most dense flower I've grown. STONES. A small bud breaks out into a shocking amount. Can't use my grinder because of the density and resin. I've been using scissors and have had to scrape the hash off the blades after a few snips or it won't cut. The high is relaxing but sedating. I could've harvested at 50 days but I let her go 63 days with the rest of the gang. The aromas are a bit weird though. You definitely get a bit of orange on the nose, but there's also a strange, almost meat-like smell to it. It isn't horrible, but it isn't my favorite either. Once you chop it up the meat smell goes away in favor of a citronella funk, which is actually pretty nice. I can't really put a finger on the tastes. There is some orange to it but more of an aftertaste. I'll select 3 off their list that are kinda close to what I taste. It's different. If I was re-rating it I would give it 8/10 only because I like the 9's I've rated better than this one. Splitting hairs at this point.

Nutrients
Great value. Seems to always be on sale
One of the best for big root systems
For the price it's a good boost to plant resilience. The Silica will boost pH into the high 9's so make sure you pH down to 6.5 before adding anything else to it.
I like it the more I use it. Added it to the bloom transition period and late flower. As always, it's a great starter feed for seedlings and clones.
Only used it as a early and late bloom flush. It's going to last a long time. Watch the pH after mixing it though, it SKYROCKETS.
Lights
Best bulbs I've used. Continues to produce caked up flower
Giving it 5 stars because it's worked for 3 years. I don't have a comparison

Mandarin Cookies grew up to a medium size with a lot of secondary branching. I would probably prune a bunch of the smaller interiors off earlier in bloom if I ran it again. Very few leaves so I didn't defoliate at all until week 9 bloom. Decent yield for one of the smaller plants too, grown in a 3 gallon container. Could see this strain crushing in a sea of green setup.
Smoke review
Easy to grow out into a medium sized, but manageable plant. Not too many fan leaves so defoliating wasn't necessary. She had a decent yield of VERY dense flowers and support was needed from week 4 on. This one was ready to harvest at day 50. 50!!! I wasn't ready for that so I let her go with the rest of them to 63 days. Hang dried 2 weeks and then dry trimmed. Super easy to trim with the lack of fan leaves. She got 2 more weeks in grove bags to cure/store before I started paying attention to the smells and flavors.

Hate to say it but maybe the one cupping contracted a virus when cut for the clone/rooting.. hard to know for sure without testing tho

@Ezzjaybruh, Always appreciate the input dude. Looking closer into my VPD...my humidity might be low for the day temps too. And I've been lowering it on purpose lol FK me

@Louder, could very well be.. you’re experienced and know different plants do different stuff. Just wanted to comment that, in case you hadn’t thought of it! Love ethos tho, excited to see how they turn out

@Ezzjaybruh, it's pretty strange for sure. I had some cupping after topping during my last run, but that was just the two main fans, not new growth. These cuts DID come from a friend but I took every measure to make sure they were clean. The mothers looked super healthy too. Looking at my daily watering schedule for the last few weeks (in notes), I was dumping a lot into them and the PPM wasn't very high either. My gut is telling me it's overwatering combined with pH spikes and underfertilizing. For now I'm just backing off the watering, increasing the PPM and monitoring the runoff to see where the pH is going.

Beautiful garden growmie👨‍🌾😃🌲💚

@XII_XII_MrGreen, I'm pretty sure that's part of it. I already raised the lamps to about 40" from the canopy and that's giving me a really dumb, low DLI. I lowered the humidity (50-60%), raised night time temperatures to 22-23 from 20-21c...I turned down the fans ...stopped watering for a few days. It could honestly be a number of things. I've been overwatering...possibly underfertilizing...idk man lol

@Louder, that means the light is to bright for this lady.. I got one in my tent now too (sapphire), if more plants in the tent would show those signs I would turn it down.. since it's only 1 I say fk it 😜

@Louder, I’m on the hunt bro. Thanks for the advise 👊🏻✌️ keep smashing it brother

@Green_Man_420, Thanks dude, I was determined to smash this run after having a brutal yield last winter. This one still wasn't perfect but I'm pretty chuffed about it. Can't complain. Ethos is blowing up right now. One of the top breeders imo. Haven't been disappointed with any of their gear. There's seed banks in North America that will ship worldwide. Brotanical Gardens might be worth a shot. I've personally never used them so I can't speak on the reliability but I've never had an issue with any seed bank I've ordered from. Happy hunting!

@Louder, honestly mate it’s a cracking diary! A lot of time and effort has gone into it. Great job ✌️ I really wanna try Ethos but not sure where to get them in the U.K.

@Louder, hell yeah bro you got some space to make shit happen 😎

@FrontRowAG_BrianG, Yeah! I built this area off a spare bedroom in my basement. It's all built around the 8" exhaust that runs straight through a concealed chase I made through the master bedroom closet and vented through the roof. I framed out the walls for 3 1/2" batts, insulated with R22 safe and sound and boarded it with mold resistant drywall. Ceiling is strapped out to hide some of the cables and the hygrometer probe (kinda wish I just kept the height). I installed insulated drycore squares for the floor and put flat white primer on everything. All the corners are caulked with silicone and that bitch is air tight. The poly zipper door in front of the access door pulls right in when the extractor kicks on and puffs out when the intake goes on. It measures 4' 6" W x 9' 6" L (+ door swing) x 6' 6" H. Not much headroom in there

@FrontRowAG_BrianG, Appreciate it brother haha! It makes it easier to spot problems, or things I did wrong/right because I literally document everything. Only been growing about 2 years and still trying to learn as much as possible. This is definitely the most notes I've taken to date
