PotG & Punch Line -- Mars Hydro FC-E4800

Hello everyone So we’re calling this the beginning of week one veg. I originally popped to planet of the grapes and three punchline. All germinated and showed taproots within 24 to 36 hours which is quite impressive. I was putting the germinated seeds into Rockwall when I accidentally broke just the very bottom tip off of one of the PotG seeds. This has happened a couple times to me before, sometimes they survive other times not. So what I decided to do was go ahead and germinate the remaining 3 PotG seeds I had. Just in case that one didn’t make it with the broken off tip, I convinced myself to go ahead and germinate all five seeds total. I was planning to take a few mothers with me into the fall indoor season, but I’m thinking now I’ll keep my one pure Indica mother and MAYBE one other mother, and kill off the rest so that I can do a legitimate pheno hunt with these five PotG seeds (and hopefully a mini pheno hunt with the 3 punch line I popped that are non-feminized). I’ve got some pretty good phenos of gold leaf, black domina, Bruce, purple punch, etc.. but I’m looking for the best of the best and really can only say that about my pure indica mom.. so if ethos is as good as they seem to be - these should blow my other contenders outta the water. So I’m not gonna keep around just “good” mothers - I want minimum 9s and 10s at this point.. so I’m gonna make space for a good pheno hunt of these ethos cultivars. Very excited! I’m also in the process of picking one other ethos strain to buy and run a pheno hunt in the future. On the list is: New drops - PunchBerry Cookies Strawberry OG Cookies As well as classics like Banana Daddy & Banana Hammock Ethos Cookies Cherry Gar-see-ya I could keep going but if you have recommendations I’d love to hear from y’all! I’m going to try and keep a more in depth and detailed diary on this one to help out other AND more importantly keep track of exactly what I did and used.. Thanks for stopping by and hope y’all have a good night/day! SJ PS- for all intents and purposes we are calling this day one of veg for all these even tho 3 of the PotG plants were germinated 36-48 hours after the rest! UPDATES Day 5 - all in solo cups in Mother Earth coco/perlite 70/30 Day 6 - looking good, gave each a pheno number. So we got PotG 1-5 and PunchLine 1-3 PotG 1 & 2 are the first 2 I germinated and 3-5 are the 3 I germinated 48 hours later. All growth looks consistent and on point - aside from PotG #2 which is the one that I broke the taproot on when moving into rockwool. But she survived so I'm happy! ------- NUTRIENT & FEEDING INFO ------- I'm gonna try and keep a good detailed documentation of my feeds on here for this grow.. I usually write down on paper every week an approximation of what I use but I've got so much going on that rarely stays up to date and accurate.. so here we go. Day 5 was yesterday - they went into solo cups and I used Mother Earth Coco/Perlite 70/30 which should be buffered somewhat but to be safe I saturated the cups of coco beforehand with a solution of about 5mL/gallon of CaliMagic which is 1-0-0 NPK with 5% Calcium, 1.5% Magnesium, and 0.1% Iron. Saturated the medium with this solution for 30 min or so then rinsed with water, put the starter plugs in and rinsed/watered the cups with pH'd water to flush the previous solution out. I think this will be sufficient seeing as Mother Earth buffers their product anyhow (that's my understanding at least) So tonight, Day 6, I mixed up a gallon to water/feed them. - 1.5mL CaliMagic - 1.0mL FloraMicro - 1.0mL FloraGro pH'd to 5.7-5.8 Just a few fluid ounces each to saturate the coco. I usually never give any nutrients until later in week 2 or beginning of 3 but its quite an insignificant amount and I really just wanted to keep the cal-mag up in the coco.
