Ethos Apex R1 - take two

Sparkles Finishing off week 2 since seed soak. One seedling has splotchy leaves and is growing a bit slower 🤔...ah well, not gonna stress over it. Still watering with diluted seaweed extract and aminos. Introduced a tiny drop of PowerSi and some microbes, letting Mother Nature take its course. Happy growing 🌱

Sparkles I’m a dumbass. I mixed in 50/50 promix and amended soil thinking it was enough food in the mix for seedlings so I was just giving very diluted seaweed and aminos and nothing else. I was so wrong and plants were starving. Gave a few full strength feedings and they’re bouncing back....now I know for next time. Yes they are short and ugly but I don’t care I still love them.

Sparkles Welcome back to another fun filled week. I think the plants probably lost a week or two of growth cuz I was a dumbass. But what’s done is done and they have bounced back. Up-potted them to 1 gallon pots with amended promix hp with added OneShot. So far so good, stalks are getting strong and leaves are greening up real nice. Gave a few seaweed + aminos + Fulvic foliar spray a few times before manifolding. That’s all for now. Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe and happy growing 🌱🌱🌱

Sparkles Snip snip manifold. I think I found my favorite ‘technique’ for my setup. They’re growing fast after I started feeding heavy (I’ll admit I’ve been overwatering a little bit). Building 8 branches to fill up the tent and will be up-potting to 7 gallon pots soon and starting LST. That’s all for now. Stay safe and happy growing 🌱🌱🌱

Sparkles Plants ain’t dead so I started LST and have been feeding heaving. Noticed some tip burn on a few leaves so will back off a bit. Other than that they are growing fast. I moved them to 7 gallon pots with amended Promix HP and now the fun begins...I hope they like their new forever homes. Still trying to get everything dialed in, still got lots to learn. Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe and happy gardening 🌱🌱🌱

Sparkles Fingers crossed...2nd attempt at mixing my own soil and they seem to be liking it 5 days after transplant. Gave them a full strength home made compost tea and some coconut water a few days later to get them settled in...so far so good. Soil is hot and charged so I’ll be feeding light and see how the plants respond. Extra aminos, extra calcium and chitin and a steady supply of microbes. Noticed tiny mites and bugs in the soil...never ending battle. Hope (again) they are the beneficial kind. I guess that’s just how it is in my set up. Top dressed with Defense and will be drenching with CannControl, and regularly spraying with Lost Coast to keep everything in check. That’s all for now. Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe and happy growing 🌱🌱🌱

Sparkles Welcome back to another week. All pics are from day 56. Spreading out the canopy to fill out my space. Growth seems slower than my previous run but they do seem bushier and not as lanky...maybe it’s just me. Introduced Bloom Khaos foliar at 5ml per liter... I didn’t gradually introduce it, I went full boar right out of the gate and have been hitting them twice a day for the past three days. Want to start foliar with Kraken as well but that shit just stinks, I’m sure the plants will love it but damnnn it smells. Getting experimental with my weekly teas, added activated biochar, insect frass and BTi to my regular mix. Seeing what I can do so I don’t have to rely 100% on Instant Teas which are great products for convenience but nothing beats home made. Saw a few fungus gnats so laid some sticky traps and caught a bunch, haven’t seen any in the past few days (I let the soil dry out) so fingers crossed they won’t come back anytime soon. Still see mites crawling around in the soil tho...haven’t drenched with CannControl yet, only been spraying the plant (and some of the soil) with Lost Coast. I’m hoping these mites aren’t going to be an issue, I think I should be fine as I don’t see any stress on the plants but I could be wrong... That’s all for now. Thanks for stopping by. Happy growing 🌱🌱🌱

Sparkles Just another week :) My two plants have grown a bit. Gonna give em a haircut and flip soon, maybe a week or two. Raised the lights (as advised from a mastergrower/guru, thank you kind sir). I’ll take whatever advice I can get. Have been having lots of shits and giggles on this site and seen lots of wicked set-ups lately. Keep it up ladies and gents! Happy gardening 🌱🌱🌱

Sparkles Not a whole lot happening. Gave them a trim a few days ago, I think I should’ve trimmed some more...I’ll let them recover and clean them up a bit before flip. Been pushing them pretty hard and they seem to be responding well....need more light!! Thanks for stopping by. Stay safe and happy gardening 🌱🌱🌱

Sparkles It’s flower time, baby! Flipped a few days ago and gave a strong home made tea with little bit of extra PK to ease them in. Been feeding them hard (I’m sure I left out a few nutrients/additives) and doing foliar sprays once/twice a day. Leaves have been damn near vertical and praying every single day for at least the past week...this is the kind of shit that sparks fucking joy for me. Hope this shit sparks joy for u too.

Sparkles Welcome back to another week. Almost done with the stretch (I think), need to do more pruning, getting really bushy at the bottom. Switched to bloom regimen and fungal dominant teas with coconut water and malted barley flour. Plants are loving it and praying every day to the LED gods. Glad I got the additional light during my last round, it’s paying off big time. Started cooking a new batch of soil for some HSO gelato seeds I’ve been saving :) Hope u enjoyed my post. Happy gardening and stay safe 🌱

Sparkles It’s hammer time. Stronger feeds and stronger teas. They have been taking it all in like champs and stacking in nicely. Have to admit I’m mixing A LOT of Nectar and throwing in A LOT of ingredients into my weekly teas it’s a little kookoo but whatever, all my plants are doing fantastic. I even lucked out and got me some watermelons and cucumbers on the vine. First time growing them and feeding with Neptune’s Rose and Flower Learned a lot this week about growing melons thanks to kind folks I’ve met here. That’s all for now. Thanks for stopping by.

Sparkles Eat. Sleep. Grow.

Sparkles Almost end of week 5. Starting to smell really fragrant, been feeding heavy with extra aminos and calcium and loading up on Herc. I think I’m pushing a lil too hard and getting a wee bit of tip burn, will back off a wee bit...eh maybe not, imma push ‘em a lil harder. Soaked a couple of seeds and getting ready for my next run :) That’s all for now. Thanks for stopping by. Stay high my friends

Sparkles Buds are getting really damn sticky icky and the smells are oh la la so fragrant. Cutting back on the feed, watching and waiting for them to ripen...just a few more weeks to go, I can see the finish line. That’s all for now. Thanks for stopping by and for all the support, I really do appreciate it. Happy gardening 🌱🌱

Sparkles Boy oh boy oh boy. Final couple weeks then chop. Ripening them up now and maybe start flushing late next week I’m thinking. Note to self: Do a trellis next run, these colas are getting big and heavy I snapped two branches by accident cuz I’m a dumbass, splinted them with plant wire ...and voila, like nothing happened. Whew 🙃

Sparkles Whisky and cola.

Sparkles Yea boieeee. Trichomes are 10-15% amber and the rest are cloudy. A flush, a few waterings at 6.4ph and chop on day 63-65. Gonna be a busy week.... Happy growing 🌱🌱

Sparkles It was a fun run. A wonky start and a meh finish. Lots of dense dank nugs, managed to harvest 1.1 pounds dried (including larf). Not gonna lie, tossed 3 top colas cuz of bud rot. Ah well. Will keep an eye on humidity in the future, I blame the summer. Wanted to leave them for another week but had a bad springtail infestation during last few weeks of flower. I just rode it out cuz I didn’t want to mess with the soil in the final weeks...it was getting a lil nuts so chopped and tossed the soil. Fucking bugs, why u coming into my space, u have the whole outside. On with the show
