"I 'member!" Member Berry RBx1 by ETHOS

Beginning of week.. So yeah, went ahead and reburied her.. Only going to give her a half dose of some CALiMAGic, normal dose of MYCO+ and a dash of Floralicious Plus. She has some super skinny, long leaves.. She is standing tall as fuck already! Wow.. Very sativa so far.. That's kinda what I was hoping for.. Gonna try to SCroG this entire 2x4 with her.. Should be fun!!! End of week.. The roots finally made it to the sides of the cup.. And one even made it to the bottom.. Niceeee... On to the next week!...

Beginning of week.. So she is doing great! Roots are growing like crazy now that they have made it to the sides of the cup. This is why I like to use clear cups.. Of course, I have another cup around it to catch runoff and to also block light.. But at anytime, I can just pull her up and out of the black (painted) cup and check out the root growth.. This will be the first time I've used the MYCO+ with a clear cup.. Hopefully we can see some shit happening.. I left the seed shell, as I always do, and today it seemed to have some shit growing on it lol.. Mildewey type fungus or someshit.. Lol.. It weird cut its literally JUST in the shell that I left.. Anyways.. She is growing beautifully.. I really want to try and NOT feed so much cuz I am noticing my harvests aren't as tasty as they were before.. I always forget.. LESS IS MORE!.. I believe: the main goal is to just keep the plant healthy and give her plenty of light and circulation, just enough food for her to do her thing without any issues and the genetics should take care of the rest!.. Anyways.. Im just rambling at this point.. But so far she is just chilling in a clear 20 oz plastic cup which is inside of a black painted 20oz clear cup to block light and catch runoff, so I can test it! I always test my runoff.. And so far she began to have some high runoff pH.. I should need to water her tomo or the next day (no nutes) so I will know more then!..... 2 days later (almost mid week)... Wow these roots are exploding all over the place.. I saw one getting close to a drain hole.. Sometimes, I like to try and guide them back through the drain hole so it can keep growing instead of cutting it.. But I came back an hour or 2 later and it had already made it's way out of the drain hole! It literally grew about a half inch in 1 - 2 hours!!! Not even exaggerating! These plants are amazing.. I've included a couple root pics.. They are just so beautiful and interesting.. Finally able to water.. Today, I believe was the 3rd time I've ever watered/fed her.. All feedings so far.. No plain waterings.. I do like to water, feed, water, feed, etc... but I feel that I've kept the PPMs pretty low, up until now.. Today, the runoff PPM was a bit higher than it was going in.. So, next time she dries out, she will only get pH'd water with some Hydroguard.. Not sure why I keep using Hydroguard in coco/perlite.. Never heard of anybody else doing it.. I'm sure it's not hurting anything.. I'd probably go ahead and assume it helps the roots TREMENDOUSLY! That and the MYCO+ powder stuff too.. Both are fucking amazing for roots.. And this time we can watch it happen! Will be updating tomorrow with pics, as well!... Mid week.. She is doing great.. I took a few pics throughout the day.. She was praying later in the day.. Roots are still doing magical things lol.. End of week.. She is doing awesome.. Noticing a little yellowing toward the bottom leaves.. But nothing too awful.. I had to go ahead and water without nutes yesterday.. Again, the plan is to feed, water, feed, water, etc... But so far, yesterday was the first time with just plain ol' 25% somewhat filtered tap water (cheap Brita) 75% rainwater (just filtered through a napkin to get out all the sediment out) pH'd to 6.2 and at about 80 PPM.. Runoff came out at 6.0 pH and about 250 PPM.. Not bad.. Been feeding at about 500 - 550 PPM.. Runoff started to come out a bit higher than it was going in, so now I begin the water, feed, water, feed regimen.. These leaves are so... Interesting lol.. Roots are doing awesome things in the medium.. The leaves are a little droopy in today's pics because it was already about the 16th hour of the day.. She will be ready to pray in the AM again lol.. Will be updating with those pics for beginning of next week!... On to the next!...

Beginning of week.. She is doing great! Awesome root growth! A little yellowing, but this week I will be introducing some FloraGro so we should be good.. Thinking of possibly topping this week at some point and also transplanting.. Depending on root growth and foliage.. If not this week, One or the other will be done early next week.. We shall see how it goes together! Next day.. Went ahead and fed today.. Added in some FloraGro to the mix.. I usually would be feeding much heavier than this.. As I've stated before, she is showing some yellowing toward the bottom leaves.. Not much.. Kinda hard to see it.. But the higher up leaves are showing some slight yellowing in between the veins.. Hopefully upping the nutes will fix the issue.. Probably should up the Micro from .5mL/L to 1mL/L.. But we shall see how it goes this week.. So far, it seems like I may be topping first.. Then transplanting after some recovery time.. Probably next week..Well.. That's the plan, at least.. Mid week.. So I think I should probably be watering/feeding AT LEAST every other day.. Daily would be even better.. I think this def. issue arose from me feeding all those times but waiting till the medium dried out quite a bit.. I've only been letting the top dry out the last few waterings/feedings before watering/feeding.. Lol.. But yeah.. And when I only used pH'd water, and waited for the medium to dry out.. She didnt have ANYTHING in the medium for a few days.. I believe that's about the time I began to really notice it.. So, I watered today.. And in 2 days I will feed her for one last time this week and will begin next weeks regimen.. But firstly begining with just plain pH'd water.. Cuz, you know.. the whole "water, feed, water, feed, etc." thing.. Not sure how people get away with feeding every watering in coco.. No matter how frequent (even 2 - 4 times daily with plenty of runoff each time) I still get salt build-ups after 2 or 3 times in a row.. So I gave up on trying that lol.. I'm fine with watering once a day or at least every other day and implementing plain pH'd water every other watering/feeding.. Ok thats enough for this update lol.. Sorry.. Battery was low, so flash wasn't even trying to turn on.. So only 1 pic from above this update.. Will have much more pics by the end of week!

Beginning of week.. Forgot to update end of last week.. Blah.. She has now been topped.. The roots are going everywhere and nowhere at the same damn time lol. Hopefully that means good things for the transplant.. I wanted to do that today.. But the 5 gallon fabric pot with coco/perlite (you see in the pics off to the side) is having runoff pH come out at 6.8 - 7.0.. Even when watering at 5.8.. Going to try and flush a bunch of 5.5 today.. Then the last gallon, just adjust to whatever it is coming out.. Gonna get started on that now, actually.. So, hopefully, I can transplant either today or tomorrow! These roots need it.. BAD.. And to add some Mycorhizae (not even gonna try to spell it right) to the roots and plop her in (obviously, not just plop her in)... But yeah lol Later that night.. Ok so I flushed many times.. 2 gallons at 5.5.. 4 gallons at 5.8.. Another gallon at 5.8 and then I fed with one more gallon at 6.2.. Should be good now.. Runoff was starting to come out at 6.4 - 6.3.. I probably shouldnt water daily.. Hmm.. Or maybe I should.. Fuck idk lol.. Just gonna wing it like I normally do 🤞🤞🤞 Almost mid week.. She is doing great.. Just plain pH'd water.. 6.2 pH at 123 PPM.. Runoff.. 6.2 at 450 PPM.. That's from the last feed.. At this point, I'll probably just water/feed every other day.. If she seems to be drinking more.. Then I'll go to daily.. But even today the top of the medium was still wet looking.. Starting to dry but still mostly moist. I went ahead and brought my ultrasonic cool mist humidifier.. I can get this tent from 40% to 60% RH in 3 mins! Not even exaggerating! Lol.. So I keep it at about 60% power and the tent goes from 60% to 55% RH.. Should be good enough.. Got all the fan running.. 3 just on the light.. Exhaust.. Intake.. And 2 fans at canopy area.. Damn thats alot of airflow! But it is much needed.. Able to keep temps at about 78F - 82F.. Should be fine even if it reaches 85F.. But I try to keep it from getting that high.. Can't wait till winter time.. No need for a heater.. The light at 75% power is perfect enough! And plenty of μMols too.. I prefer an overkill light.. Can get plenty of μMols at 75% or even 50% power and the unit will barely heat up!.. Plus, that SHOULD help with extending the life of the diodes and the driver.. Electricians like to use the 80/20 rule.. Which is incredibly smart.. So why not use the 80/20 rule with lights.. Makes better sense to me.. Yeah, if i need to, I can take it to 100%.. But that is more μMols than could EVER be needed in this tent! Not using C02.. Other than my breath lol.. So yeah, it works out perfectly! Mid week.. She is doing great! 👍 the yellowing you see has stopped spreading.. Those leaves will be removed the day I notice that each branch has the same amount of leaf space getting enough photons.. By the time the branch can recieve more photons than the fan leaf.. Then the fan leaf is not doing more than the branch itself.. Idk that's my take on it.. Plus, if the fan leaf is yellow, it isnt photosynthesising as well, if at all.. But the bottom 2 nodes' branches should be fine to fend for themselves before this week is over. Going to try and not overdo defoliating throught the grow.. I want her to have plenty of foliage in veg.. But once flipping to flower, I'm going to lollipop the shit out of her.. And go a little higher than I normally do to avoid larfy nugs. This will be my second time with ScrOG and first time ScrOGging the entire tent with just 1 plant.. She seems like she will be a stretcher for sure!.. Rootzone is being nothing short of spectacular! Runoff is spot on.. Not fuck ups this run.. That minor yellowing is nothing.. That won't even exist within the next 7 days! Lol.. But yeah.. Gonna also do my best to barely feed her to keep her happy and healthy.. See if that helps with taste.. My last harvest in this tent (2 ETHOS strains) I overfed alot.. You could see alot of leaf tip burns and its decent buzz.. Still looks AMAZING.. but the taste isnt right. Its been curing for 4 weeks and still doesnt seem to taste right.. It does taste alot better.. I'm really trying to cure that harvest out as long as possible to see if the taste does get much better than it already has during this 4 week cure.. It has improved quite a bit.. But thats just the starches and chlorophyll breaking down.. I want the terps to be just as they were when she was growing.. That could have alot to do with temps not being able to be kept down below 70F.. Below 78F, yeah.. But that may not be enough to keep terps from fading away 😭.. I wonder if I could just use a mini fridge.. At the lowest setting.. Just place the jars in there.. Making sure moisture doesnt get in... Hmmmm... Future experiment! Lol Almost end of week.. Already finding some preflower along the newer branches.. Main stalk doesnt show any.. But that's understandle!.. They are already shooting pistils! Noice! The leaves are giving off a great scent already.. Of course, not dank.. Just promising of future terps! Lol.. Even in veg, each strain can give off different scents.. I guess it's still terps? Idk.. Kinda cool tho.. But wow she is showing some serious growth! I'm seeing some roots at the top of the soil.. Which is odd, because she was planted super deep into the cup in the first week.. If I remember correctly, without looking back lol, she was pretty tall and I reburied a bit.. She has sprouted new roots up the stem.. Which is good to know.. Kinda like how a cutting grows roots.. Very interesting.. But damn why are they coming up to the top of the medium? I water in 1 gallon in 1 liter bottles at a time.. Takes a good 15 mins to get it all in there till the point I am collecting the runoff.. So theres no way Im watering too fast.. It doesn't puddle.. It pretty much flows right through.. But oh well.. There are PLENTY of happy healthy roots down in there.. Should be seeing them start poking out of the fabric pot soon! But wow, she is growing so fast! I love growing in coco/perlite.. I really wanna try coco with worm castings and dry amendments! Mr. Canuk just makes it look so awesome and easy! Lol.. Cant believe I still haven't tried it yet! But I am quite satisfied with coco and synthetics, so far.. Anyways.. Just wait till the end of the week update pics are up! She could have showed alot more growth by then from now! I love waking up and taking a peak in to see how she is doing! Also.. Hoping my ultrasonic humidifier isn't going to begin spitting out that white dust crap again.. Im using tap water.. But I put those tiny blue demineralizing capsules in the tank.. 2 actually.. If this doesnt work.. I give-up.. May start trying to use rainwater or something.. Cuz that is just insane.. I am not buying a gallon of distilled water to fill this mf'r with.. That's gonna be too expensive!.. But anyway.. Update with pics tomorrow! End of week.. Just look at all that branching! Still just watering/feeding every other day.. Missed today but the medium is still pretty moist so she should still have plenty of water in there. Also, as a reminder, I'm doing water, feed, water, feed, etc... My ladies seem to always love it.. Medium doesn't build up with salt EVER.. But if I try to feed, feed, water, feed, feed, water, etc., it seems to tend to build up pretty fast.. So just feeding every other watering is what works best for me.. The next 7 days should have some serious growth! So excited for it!... On to the next...

Beginning of week.. This week I am trying to get these branches to even out.. Or at least get these lower branches to catch up.. Kinda hard when they are hidden.. The second to last node is ok.. But the lowest node is kinda blah.. I may cut them for clones.. Haven't made up my mind yet.. But I do want a couple clones of this girlie.. But we shall see how it goes this week.. Went up on the FloraGro.. I have already noticed many roots poking out of the bottom.. Wow.. Crazy fast.. The runoff pH has now been coming out a little lower than it is going in.. Not bad... In at 6.2 and runoff has been coming out 5.9 - 6.0.. Again.. Not bad at all.. Just hope something isn't gettin fucked off in there.. Runoff PPMs are coming out great.. Alot lower than going in each time.. Which means she is gulping that shit down! Feeding at 900+ PPM and the runoff is coming out 500 - 600 PPM. Again, I use the water, feed, water, feed, etc. technique.. She is loving life! No leaf issues.. Roots exploding.. These branches should really do some magical things this week! I cant wait!!! LST and ScrOG.. Oh the joy!!! Lol Mid week... Went ahead and tied 2 nodes (4 branches) down. Today's pics are from right after tying branches down and also tucking some leaves to uncover the lower branches (as much as possible).. I'm trying not to strip her down too bare.. Which I have done in the past.. I think it slows growth quite a bit for a few days.. So avoiding that this run.. At least while she is still this young. I see MANY roots already poking out of the bottom of the fabric pot.. None out of the side, yet.. Kinda weird.. I'm sure they will soon tho.. This is a very reused pot.. Not even sure how many times.. Washed at least 3 times.. Soooo.. Maybe 5 or 6 runs have been in this pot lol.. And still works just as it did from day 1!.. Of course just a little ugly.. Not too bad tho!.. Have still been using 25% Brita filtered tap water with 75% rain water, which I only filter thru a fabric to remove sediments and other solids.. Seems to be working great so far.. Not a shitload of Chloramine (sucks having Chloramine instead of Chlorine) but also not too bare.. Usually, it reads about 80 PPM.. Not bad.. Not bad at all... Will update tomorrow with pics of how she adjusted herself from the LST... End of week.. Ok, so I said fuck it with the Ultrasonic Humidifier and just put rain water in.. Cuz FUCK cleaning all that white powder off of EVERYTHING.. I had no idea what was going on.. I thought it was baby powder lol.. Till finally I saw how built up it was inside of the humidifer.. Those things REALLY should be cleaned every 1 - 2 weeks if hard tap water is used.. Like a heavy clean.. I tried those little demineralizer tablets and those things suck.. I even used half distilled, half tap, and had 2 of those demineralizer tablets.. Just 4L ran thru and I could see a thin layer of that same powder bs building up on my fans.. So I said fuck it and went with some rainwater that is only filtered thru 2 layers of cotton shirt to remove sediment.. I also use this same rainwater to water my girls.. But mixed in with 25% tap.. It helps bring the TDS down from 260 PPM to 80 - 100 PPM.. Anyways.. So today I fed at 6.2 pH 950 PPM.. Runoff came out at 6.0 pH 800 PPM.. Not bad.. Not bad at all. She was doing great.. But when I checked the PAR.. Was barely giving her about 200 - 250 μMol.. I lowered the light from about 20 - 24 inches down to about 10 - 12 inches.. Power is still only at 25%.. I really wish I could adjust MORE than just 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.. I have the Master Controller.. But that thing will ruin the flower period if the power ever flickers or goes out and comes back on.. Because it will restart itself to 'power on 10%' and completely disregards the timer mode.. But this is still some beast components.. They do a DAMN good job and stay nice and cool while still giving a perfect amount of μMols along the ENITRE 2'×4' tent.. This so now I got the light a bit closer and now she is getting a good 400 - 450 μMols. Of course, I will have to raise the light back up and boost her up to 50% soon.. Maybe this week or next.. We shall see how well she develops after this adjustment.. I now see alot of roots popping out of the fabric pot.. Sides.. Bottom.. EvErYwHeRe! Lol.. But yeah.. I really feel like the Myco+ and even the Hydroguard do some magical things with these ladies' roots.. It's incredible!... Anyways.. On to the next!.... ***just re-read all of this and realized how many times I said "not bad at all" 😂 I must have been pretty stoned each time 🌱🌿🌲🌼🔥😯💨😁👍

Beginning of week.. Went ahead and tied the branches down a bit more.. They are almost completely flat.. Which is kinda what I am going for.. Gonna have to stretch her out ALOT to fill this tent.. Possibly using 2 trellis layers.. With all this LST, I'm hoping it will help with feeding thru the trellis and be able to open her up nice and wide (damn I need to get laid.... Lol) but she is doing good! I'm thinking of keeping the nutes the same this week.. It seems like she is drinking ALOT more all of a sudden.. Medium will still be fine if I left it for 2 - 3 days.. But I may start watering once daily instead of every other day.. Haven't figured it out just yet.. But so far so good! Next day.. The pics here are jut to show her recovery.. Look at those branches I do tend to let her up a bit to make it not so difficult to water.. Im just REALLY trying to make sure she is good and stretched out.. And so far, she is.. Thinking I should probably go ahead and install the trellis pretty soon.. 2 mistakes I made last grow were that I didnt keep up with the branch tying and I should have trellis a few days to a week sooner.. But this run should go pretty well.. Great genetics.. Medium seems dialed in ok.. Still getting 6.0 pH in the runoff.. Going in at 6.2 - 6.3 pH.. But that's still in a very good range! Cant complain.. And neither can she! Lol Mid week.. She only have 2 sets of branches tied down.. Earlier, I removed the very bottom set and now I am left with 3 nodes, or 6 branches. So, the untied (just the bottom 2) branches have been slightly.. Gingerly.. Very delicately.. supercropped lol just basically slightly weakened the stem to help bring the 2 branches down to canopy level.. Being the bottom 2 branches, they were above the rest of the plant.. Due to leaving them untied and tying down the other branches so damn low! She is doing awesomely! Couldn't be any more happy with the way things are growing with this run so far! Just from the supercropping, she gave off a very sweet aroma... I really hope I don't get the skunk-ish phenotype on this one.. Aw man, the grape phenotype would be EPIC! So, thinking about it a little more.. I'm going to wait to install the trellis.. Need her to be tall enough without the 2 crates underneath.. As long as I keep up with the LST, HST, and leaf tucking, then she should be good to go pretty soon! She is finally starting to be a pretty canna-py! Lol.. Ready for more PHOTONS!!! End of week.. Bumped up the power of the light to 50% power and she is now getting about 600 - 650 μMols.. Luckily temps have gone down outside so I'm able to keep temps just as the were 2 weeks ago but more light! Anyways.. I have removed some leaves here anf there.. Wouldn't call that defoliation.. I need to tie these branches down a bit more.. I do need them to stretch up a bit more to be able to have her down on the ground, off of these crates.. I'm not able to lower the light too much because of the huge oscillating fan I decided to buy for no reason really... Meh, it helps pretty good fan too for cheap.. Same brand as my ultrasonic humidifer.. Not sure if I mentioned this before, but I was using rainwater in my humidifier.. Stopped.. Just in case it causes some weird bacteria to go into the air.. Not a good thing.. It did work good tho. Lol. Just worried me a bit.. I sleep in the same room as my tent so I would be affected pretty quick, I would think. So she looks a little droppy in the pics.. That's just cuz the lights go out in the next couple of hours.. She's gettin sleepy and ready for bed lol.. She is growing so quick.. Going to get down on some LST tomorrow!.. She gets a good feeding, also!.. Gonna be a great picture day for her! Can't wait!!! Lol.. Probably cant notice in the pics, but there is a slight yellowing between the veins on the lower leaves. I'm thinking since I'm not using any bloom nutes, she may not be getting much P.. Micro has 5-0-1.. Grow has 2-1-6.. So she is only getting a very small amount.. It may not be an issue.. She may grow out of it.. Not sure if I want to try and get some FloraBloom into the mix starting tomorrow.. Hmm.. Anyways.. On to the next!!!...

Beginning of week.. I did remove a few fan leaves.. I also only adjusted the very top branches.. The very lowest branches are completely untied and have only had some HST but recovered a little too well.. The stems have straightened back out and are all knotted up.. Damnit.. Same issue I faced in my last grow.. I should just stop being lazy and tie all the damn branches down.. But all this week I will be adding more training.. Kinda slowly.. Not for any reason, other than it takes a while and I need to make time for it all lol.. It should get done in the next 2 - 3 days and she should be ready for her next photoshoot (mid week pics)! Went ahead and added in some FloraBloom.. She wasn't getting much P.. So I pee'd on her LMAO im just kidding.. Just adding a half dose of FloraBloom to take care of the P issue.. I need to start watering/feeding daily.. She seems to be drinking quite a bit more.. Which would make perfect sense duh! Lol Next day... Went ahead and adjusted 4 branches.. Tying down the bottom 2 that were left untied.. Now she is all tied down lol... Looking flat as fuck! I love it! One branch was beginning to crack.. So I eased up on it.. But still bent the very top of that stem down a little.. So the lower branches should still be able to catch up.. She is going to be a seriously gorgeous, thick bush lol Mid week.. Doing good.. Still just watering, feeding, watering, feeding, etc.. What I do is I feed one day, wait 2 days and water, then feed again the next day.. Then wait 2 days and water.. The point of doing that is so she has more days of nutes than with less nutes.. Idk.. Just my take on it.. She is becoming such a gorgeous bush! End of week.. She is getting so bushy. Going to have to flip to 12/12 tomorrow and also put her in a 2'×2'×5 CoolGrows tent.. This is not what I wanted to do.. But this is a last minute decision.. Hope it works out still

Beginning of week.. So I had to make a last minute decision to go ahead and put her into my 2x2x5 with the WAKYME J2000 at 50% power. Hovering about 12 - 14 inches above the canopy and recieving roughly about 700 μMols in the center down to 500 μMols around the edges.. So when I get the center to about 900 - 950 μMols.. The edges should still be getting a good 700+ μMols! Fucking awesome!.. Nothing like running an overkill light at lower power in order to keep temps down and also to help the lifetime of the components! So for the next 2 - 3 weeks I will be going 50/50 with FloraGro and FloraBloom while she begins to flower.. I dont like counting the transition weeks as flower, some phenos and genos can transition in 1 week.. Some in about 3 weeks.. Had one take almost 4 weeks!! But I don't care to count the transition weeks as flower.. So she is receieving only 12 hours of light as of today.. Will begin counting flower when I see she is for sure stretching and for sure packin on the pistils at the crowns. She is going to need some defoliation and ALOT of branches to be removed.. May still try to ScrOG this 2×2.. Lol.. That just sounds funny.. I forgot how tiny this 2x2 is. Kinda taller than normal 2x2s so that should help a little if I need to raise the light any... She barely fits in here lol.. Thats fine.. I just need to make sure she stays under a 2 foot stretch and everything else will be perfect for this girl.. Runoff is coming out perfect.. RH is... Meh lol.. Its good.. It hovers up and down alot with the AC cutting off and on.. Cant wait for cooler temps!!! I love the winter.. So much easier to keep temps down.. I will be defoliating within the next couple days.. So by next update she will look a little different.. But damn she is so beautiful! Lol Mid week.. So she has been lollipopped and branches adjusted a bit.. Not much else to report on.. Just waiting for the pistils to start poppin out of everywhere!.. Just 1 day after defoliation and she has noticeably filled out her canopy a bit! Can't wait can't wait CAN'T WAIT to see what this girl can do! End of week.. Seems like she is at the very beginning of stretching.. 2 days ago I removed some inner facing leaves and they have already been replaced by the next same facing node! Cant really notice it because her tops arent getting ridiculously close to the light.. But that is definitely a sign of her stretching soon. I'll even bet it's noticeable before the middle of next week. Well.. On to the next week!!!...

Beginning of week.. She is doing amazing! Runoff is right where it needs to be.. leaves are looking nice and green with not so much leaf burning on the tips anymore.. new sets of leaves daily! Gonna need to lollipop a bit more. She should produce a decent harvest! So excited to see what she does in flower! So far, I've noticed that she is making some purple striped stiples at the very crown of each (future) cola! So so excited! Need to raise light up a bit.. I think she's getting over 1000 micromols at the center sine she has stretched a bit... Next day.. Whoops.. not sure how the hell she managed to stretch up to 1400+ micromols so quick.. had to raise the light quite a bit and also dim her down just a tad.. now the center is getting exactly 950 micromols in the center and around 650 - 700 micromols around the edges of the tent (footprint). Perfect! I noticed some purpling on a couple of the higher leaves.. these were the leaves getting over 1400 micromols and temps have been another lower than anticipated. So if she starts turning purple this early on, then WOW!.. She should make some pretty colorful colas! Mid week.. She really needs a haircut. She has grown a few nodes on each branch just in the last 7 days or even less. So beautiful! Humidity is being a bitch right now. Up to 70% and my dehumidifier can't even get it to drop a little.. ugh. Cold front blowing through as I type this, so hopefully it'll blow this moisture out by the end of the day. Pistols should be making a crown pretty soon! Still stretching like crazy. She still has plenty of head room for it.. but damn, I really need to get some of these leaves and lower branches out of the way. That should help bring the RH down quite a bit too.. I know she isn't THAT big, but it's still gonna take me awhile to trim her up.. kinda wondering if I could wait till next week and get it all done at once.. cuz I feel like she may need one more with the speed she's been stretching at. Next day... Went ahead and removed ALOT of foliage.. humidity should go down quite a bit.. these leaves give off a very strong skunky scent.. can't wait to see the terp action of this strain! "OoOo.. I 'member"

Beginning of week.. Forgot to update end of last week.. but here she is!... So this week she should still be stretching and (hopefully) the slowdown should be the following week.. she is doing good.. water, feed, water, feed, etc. But not daily.. I do water, feed, skip, water, feed, skip, etc. I do that so the day after feeding 1 gal., she gets a day to dry out. Then I water 1.25 gal. to help rinse salts and build-up.. then feed the next day again.. so she isnt left too long without a feeding.. but I'm sure things would be fine if I watered/fed daily.. just a bit of a hassle for me now.. collecting rainwater and cutting it with 25% crappy tap water works great.. but a hassle lol.. she is happy and so am I! You can see in the pics that the stiples are turning purple are red.. just the stiples.. not the leaves.. not the pistils.. also noticed that on my last run with ETHOS Cookies and Mandarin Cookies.. pretty.. hopefully she will be very colorful! Almost mid week.. Wow.. literally no trichomes yesterday but this morning they are damn near on every bud site! Wow.. rubbing trichomes and sniffing gives me such joy and a hint of what to expect at harvest.. very sweet so far.. yessss! So excited! Mid week... Stretching quite a bit but she shouldn't get too much out of control. Running the WAKYME J-2000 at roughly 60% power and 12" - 14" above the canopy. She is receiving 1000 micromols at the center and about 550/600 micromols around the edges and corners are getting about 500 - 550 micromols.. entire plant is getting GREAT PAR! She is stretching so much that every 2 - 3 days, I need raise the light quite a bit.. I'd say she is stretching about 4 - 6 inches every 2 - 3 days. Fucking incredible, in my opinion. rubbing the trichomes.. aw man.. rubbing those GORGEOUS trichomes and getting a wiff of what she should be producing in the very near future is just mind blowing how complex and strong ETHOS terpenes are (at least the 3 that I have grown out). I couldn't be any happier with this strain.. or any ETHOS strain! ETHOS Genetics is easily in the top 5 of cannabis breeders, if not number 1.. I've got the OG Kush Autoflower waiting to be germinated soon.. can't wait to see what that girl can do, as well. It will be my first autoflower from ETHOS.. pics of her look EPIC AS FUCK!.. Anyways.. I'm just abusing my keyboard right now thanks to some Mandarin Cookies from ETHOS genetics.. super complex terpenes as well.. Mid week.. She got herself a good feeding today. The runoff pH has been coming out about .3 - .4 higher than going in.. the watering before today I went ahead and watered at 5.8.. runoff came out at 6.3.. perfecto! Today, went in at 6.2 and runoff came out 6.2... dos perfectos! Aye! So far, this girl is not disappointing at all! So much trochomes production just in the last 24 - 48 hours! Smells so freaking amazing!.. should be pretty fruity! I can't wait!!! End of week.. I've been kinda tweaking the nutes a bit.. I can see all the nute burn (trying to avoid overfeeding) but still trying to transition from grow to bloom.. actually, I thinkI can go to full on bloom now. She isnt stretching as much anymore. She had slowed quite a bit.. but perfectly lol.. so yeah.. gonna stop feeding grow nutes at this point.. and also cut out the MYCO+ because its only used in veg and transition. I'm going to add in some FloraNectar to make up for the molasses that was in the MYCO+.. no bloom boosters.. at least right now. Runoff is coming out perfectly.. sometimes it may drift to 6.5 but it has never gone out of range (6.5+).. if it stays at 6.5 for too long I end up watering/feeding at 5.8 at couple times and its back down to 6.1 or 6.2.. other than that.. no issues! On to the next week!...

Beginning of week.. Wow she is stacking fast! Stretch has slowed.. may have even stopped.. I'm attepmting to water/feed daily instead of skipping a day every 2 days. After waiting 1 whole day without watering and the pot feels super light.. like if I waited too late into the second day that she would start showing stress.. rather keep her from even getting close to stress right now.. but she is fairly happy and doing magical things! I love this stuff! Next day... Just wanted to take a pic lol... she is doing INCREDIBLE things with these pistils, calyxes and trichomes and not showing any signs of slowing down.. amazing genetics for sure!... Almost mid week... I cant stop taking pics of this girl! So beautiful.. gonna be some FAT colas for sure.. she is still stacking.. but stacking very nicely! The smell, which is a bit too early to judge what the end product will be like, but smells very fruity with just a hint of skunk.. I can really smell the skunk when I first open the tent.. but rubbing the trichomes, I can smell alot of delicious fruity scents.. hard to pinpoint just one.. citrusy of course.. but man.. love this plant so far! A few banches I could hve lollipopped a couple nodes higher.. but even the bottom nugs I left are getting nice and fat! About halfway thru flower at this point.. very impressed with these genetics! Still have been able to water/feed daily now.. there may be some days that I may have to skip a day.. which SHOULDN'T be too stressful on her.. maybe more stressful on me if anything lol. Other than the overfeeding, she is loving life and doing magical things.. ive went down on some nutes already.. but as I mix nutes, they end up at 950 PPM.. so I have concluded that I should go ahead and just drop the micro down from 4 ml per gallon down to 3 ml per gallon.. leaving everything else rOuGhLy the same.. hoping it drops from 950 PPM to 850 or 900 PPM.. and thats with using 75% rainwater and 25% Brita filtered tap water.. which automatically brings the TDS of the water at 75 - 80 PPM.. just a little detail on how I water/feed... and also I use water, feed, water, feed, etc... not flushing.. just running 1 gallon of water/nutrients a day. I love growing in coco coir/perlite.. and fabric pots are awesome too!.. love love LOVE this shit!!! Mid week (1 day late.. whoops)... So I fed yesterday, just forgot to get some pics. She smells absolutely delicious at this point.. skunky but also very fruity, sweet.. citrusy.. such amazing genetics. It almost seems as if this pheno will look exactly like the pic ETHOS has for the Member Berry RBx1.. which he says all of his strains are +90% stable with pheno variations, for the most part.. but man.. beautiful plant.. these flowers are stacking hard and fast (that's what she said) but just.. wow.. now that Ive been using my PAR meter and have a better understanding of uMols and th footprint, and not overfeeding (not like I have been at 1000+ PPM.. but she is still showing some nute burn so that tells me that I WAS still overfeeding this girl.. but I believe I have cut back enough because the burnage isn't spreading much, if anymore at all.. I'm happy with the way things are going with this grow.. perfect runoff.. perfect PPFD.. shouldn't be anything short of fucking spectacular! End of week.. Went ahead and skipped watering today. Didnt want to.. had to.. but she should be fine by the AM.. I'll have to use 1 gal + 1 liter to make up for the lack of water in the medium.. other than that.. she is doing great! On to the next week!...

Beginning of week.. So I went ahead and did a late defoliation.. humidity is sitting too high in the tent.. its been around 50 - 55 % RH but it does sometimes get up to 60% RH.. removing some of these leaves should help lower the RH AND lower the chances of getting mold.. these are gonna be some fat colas.. and those are the ones mold can creep up on.. doing my best.. dehumidifier just cant keep up.. but I also dont run it inside the tent due to the heat that thing and it's transformer give off when it runs for over 24 hours or so.. but she shouldn't mold.. I've got 3 fans inside just moving air.. but of course, sometimes that isn't enough.. but we will see how this goes.. may even add another fan.. keep it on the floor of the tent an point it up.. we shall see! But damn she smells so amazing.. i can smell alot of similarities from the Mandarin Cookies in here.. which also has Mandarin Sunset as a mother.. just as this one does.. but you can smell the skunk along with it.. but not as powerful as the citrus.. aw man the citrus.. love that shit.. I even chewed on a trichome covered fan leaf.. very delicious! So glad I have 9 more of this strain and a few others from ETHOS.. next run may be some Aura Genetix.. I've gotta see what fast versions are all about.. I bougt some of the Peach Bellini.. should be pretty epic.. keep an eye out for that diary after this one! Mid week.. Lower branches are getting plenty of light after the defoliation. The smell is getting intense. My carbon filter has began to smell like shit lol. Not literally.. but it stinks.. maybe like rotten skunk or something.. I've ordered a new one but I took that smelly one off for now.. so the whole block smells like member berries right now till the new filter comes in.. tomorrow. I couldn't figure out what the smell was untill i accidentally got my face into the exhaust fan wind.. smelled like rotten skunky shit.. lol. I guess I forgot things need to be changed out every so often.. just figured "air" running thru it wouldn't make it crap out so fast. Been maybe 8 - 12 months.. something like that. Never used one before this.. but running some ETHOS, it is a must! So citrusy! Purples are slowly coming in. She really reminds me of the Mandarin Cookies I grew.. but I also think the Mandarin Cookies was heavier on the Mandarin Sunset phenotype side.. and this one is pretty similar. Scent, growth, stretch.. but I know I cant say for sure that's what it is.. this is just what I believe is going on. But wow.. such a beautiful plant.. I've had to run a a few twist ties to other branches in order to keep them from flopping over, leaning on eachother and the sides of the tent.. should have scrogged I guess lol.. live and learn tho.. but so far its not too bad.. but this early on shows me what I might have to be dealing with in the next couple of weeks cuz they are beginning to get STACKED! I've said it before, and I'll say it again... ETHOS for the win 🏆 Later that day... Wow.. going back in again and now she smells just like the Early Lemon Berry! Wth! How is that even possible?! She is doing amazing things! Some calyxes are beginning to turn purple. Some of the top leaves are as well. Tried to get some decent pics of it.. but I guess I cant figure the new phone out.. as you can see, some pics are a little blurry. And sometims the capture is delayed behind the flash and I still get a dark pic as if it didnt even flash.. but whatever.. I can't wait to see what she has to offer! Such a gorgeous girlie! So happy and excited for this one! End of week.. Nothing left to do now but feed/water for about 1 more week and she will be ready for the 2 week flush!.. I normally like to just water as normal (without nutes, duh) for the entire 2 weeks and still keep checking runoff.. maybe FloraKleen once a week and then just water till harvest! So far, I am starting to see some milky! Still mostly clear, but that means she is getting closer! So excited! This girl really smells just like the Early Lemon Berry I grew! But still with a bit of sweetness to it too! Aw man I can't wait! Anyways... on to the next week!...

Beginning of week.. As I watered this morning (no nutes at 111 PPM), the runoff came out at 830 PPM.. so the plant may not be taking up as much nutes? Idk.. possibly.. but since I'm so close, I've decided to just cut the nutes in half while completely removing CalMag and Hydroguard.. they shouldn't be doing much at this point anyway.. temps were a little cooler the last couple weeks (not so much this week) so it's helping purples come out! Wish I could get it even cooler.. but the flush should help her reveal beauty!.. she's already so gorgeous, to me 😍 Mid week.. She is absolutely stunning! So the last time I fed, the runoff TDS was coming out less than it was going in.. 700 PPM, good deal.. but when I watered the next time, the runoff TDS came out 200 PPm more.. like 900 PPM.. so I watered the next day and it came out 800 PPM.. so today I watered with FloraKleen and it came ou 700 PPM.. the days I watered was only 80 - 100 PPM going in.. no reason for the runoff to have jumped up like that out of nowhere.. I haven't been rinsing off the saucer as I should have been (daily).. just pulling the runoff out as soon as I can.. maybe it is just built up on the saucer?? Idk.. I guess I should attempt to pull it out and rinse it at least once or twice a week.. other than that, she is still turning purple ALL OVER more and more each day! Beautiful smell.. sweet, citrus, slightly skunky.. not overwhelmingly skunky.. but she isn't too far off.. so, I was thinking I will just keep watering till harvest.. not flushing the medium in one watering.. just normal amount of watering with a normal amount of runoff and she can use up what's left in the medium for this week, then the 2 week flush (still just watering normal amounts daily) will begin.. not this week even tho I'm not giving any nutes, due to a salt build-up going on somewhere in the rootzone.. but we shall see! End of week.. Wow she is getting close! So dank! So fruity! Definitely got the skunky phenotype but not lacking on the berries, whatsoever. Seeing many cloudy trichomes.. still a few clear but the way she is maturing, I believe she will be ready in just another 1 week, 2 if I'm feeling patient (probably not). This week was literally nothing but water. Wait, I did do one dose of FloaKleen due to the salt build-up about mid week.. never used anything else this entire week.. so this week was just a slow flush.. will have an update on the runoff tomo (beginning of next week) with more pics! On to the next...

Beginning of week... So the RH has been spiking ALOT.. natural environment sucks here.. seeing 68% at times in the tent and lung room. Just got it down to 62% 😬 still kinda high but it's the best I can do with what I got... she will make it tho.. this will be a damn good test for mold resistance. I've just been keeping the fans on full blast. I never added a 3rd fan to blow on the plant like I wanted before.. damn, I should probably add that now... 🤔 I will.. just havent had the time, cuz, you know... life and whatnot lol. But holy shit Im glad I got a new carbon filter.. she is stanky as fuuuuck! So citrusy! I can't help but bring it up every update lol.. now I'm smelling a mix of the Early Lemon Berry and the Mandain Cookies from this girl. The trichomes on the fattest nugs below the colas are HUGE! Literally don't even need a loupe to see they are milky as fuuuuck! Still some clear tho.. gonna finish this week and see where she is at! So excited to get her dried and tested out before the cure! I hope I can keep my hands out of the cookie jar that long lol.. I should've smoked more bowls than joints from my last harvest.. then I'd have some till the cure was done if not longer.. well, I'm still trying to find my sweet spot in yield that can last me till a next harvest.. or maybe start plants in between.. run a second tent or my small grow box for seedling and early veg.. then to a bigger tent to finish up and I can start the next plant a couple weeks in or as I flip to flower.. 🤔 💭 see.. I'm still trying to dial it all in for my personal consumption.. but that actually sounds like a great plant.. save on electricity too cuz my small grow box is only 3 bulbs that equal 20 watts from the wall.. not bad at all! Today I watered with FloraKleen once again, going in: 100 PPM at 6.2 pH and run off: 445 PPM at 6.2 pH.. I've only been watering every other day because the medium even stays pretty moist till the next day anyway.. kinda weird this jut popped up one day and hasnt stopped.. but gonna go ahead and water in a bit more again tomorrow and see where she stands.. nothing but water till harvest.. unless I feel the rootzone needs another dose of FloraKleen.. we shall see! Next day.. So this morning the runoff was still coming out at about 480 PPM.. so I went ahead and ran another gallon thru before lights out as well, and it came out 350 PPM.. also, this time it was 30 mins before lights out and I had the water refrigerated to about 50°F.. would be colder, but I forgot to put it in the fridge earlier that day so it only had about 45 mins in the freezer, then another 30 mins in the fridge. Watering with the cold water should help bring out more purples and reds! Worked before.. but not so much on the last 2 or 3 that "kinda" purped towards tge end.. but thats the update on the runoff.. hadn't ran anymore FloraKleen thru the medium. Maybe I should go ahead and give another dose to really help get anything built-up in the rootzone.. but the pH is going in and coming out perfectly... 6.2 on the dot. End of week.. Welp.. a very eventful week. Not in a good way. She has been kept in the dark for 5 days.. went ahead and harvested. Havent watered or anything, just ben letting the exhaust fan do its thing. Really wish I could have let her go another week at least, but I fucked up by leaving her in the dark for 5 days 🤦‍♂️ as for this week.. she suffered a bit, but she has been taken out of her misery.. and now I am one step closer to tasting this beauty!

I fucked up drying. Room RH is 80% plus but I had fans running.. usually, locally, I cant get my dries to go longer than 3 - 5 days.. been drying for 5 days but with the humidity being at 80% - 85% inside the lung room and tent she hasnt even began to dry. Plus, I havent been able to trim her up yet.. just been jiggling the jar around a few times a day and keeping the jar open, inside the tent with an exhaust fan running and another usb fan moving air.. but not blowing on the buds at all.. but around the jar.. so nervous to get mold!!! Drying still.. but day 3 in jar.. She is still way too wet to be jarred. I have just been shaking the jar around like 4 times a day MINIMUM and keep the jar in he tent with air flow.. humidity is still being a butthead.. but easing up a bit.. down to 70%-ish.. when I do seal the jars, it still reads a little over 70%.. I will keep doing this until I get to about 65% or possibly even as high as 68%.. as long as I keep up the burping.. but so far, I just leave the lid open and keep it in the tent with a couple fans running.. no mold, so she should be good.. still gonna keep flipping the buds a few times a day.. this is going to be some DANK! already tried a few nugs.. still alot of chlorophyll, but she is slowly getting to the cure zone!!! Drying day 14.. Finally got the jar down to 65% RH.. that took alot of rolling the jar (to move buds around).. at least 4 - 5 times daily for this entire time I trimmed the buds and put them into the jar waaaay too early.. no mold tho.. and the buds dont tear apart anymore. They should start to crumble (kinda) in the next 2 - 4 weeks.. but going to see how things (including weather) are going to go if I only burp once or twice daily. I kinda want to bring the RH down a bit still.. like 62% 🤔 ah shit, I'm so indecisive lol.. probably leave it at 65% for a couple days and then try to get it down to 63% or 62%.. but once I see 59 or 58%.. it should still be good, but I get worried because I have overdried MANY harvests.. just trying to get things dialed in with drying and curing still.. even 4 years into this stuff! Lol.. but I'm getting a better hang of it.. kinda using my own methods mixed with what I find online.. just hard to judge when the plant is ready by snapping stems.. ive waited till the smallest stem I could find was making the "snap" noise.. but when I did that, the RH in the jars was only at 55% and lower.. the taste and smell were completely gone halfway thru the cure.. ive read that anywhere from 55% to as high as 70% RH is good.. but even at 70% I still have wetness issues.. buds and stems tearing.. still tastes like pure chlorophyll.. but since I've been kinda getting my dries dialed in, so I try to UNDER DRY to get buds to about 70% (that's in jars, not room). I really feel like this doesnt get explained enough in forums and online.. they tend to leave out some very important details.. like what to do when you overdry or underdry your flower.. if its too low, its trash. A 62% boveda and/or integra boost humidity packs can only do so much.. they have helped me, but only if the jars are still above 55% RH.. anything lower has completely removed terps within 2 weeks or so.. but yeah. In 4 years of trial and error (and yeah, forums and other grow diaires), I have found that it is better to UNDERDRY and either burp the jars MULTIPLE times a day (at least 4 - 5) or take them back out and let them dry for another 8 - 12.. maybe 16 or even 24 hours.. depending out how wet the flower still is and the drying area. Anyways.. im stoned and just finger fucking my keyboard here.. but this is very useful info that I have found works for me.. if people dont agree, hey thats cool too.. then these are just notes for myself later 😋 OK, I'm done now.. will keep updating as I go! About 5 days into curing... Got the jar down to 62% - 63% RH so I can stop burping so much.. maybe a short burp twice daily for a week then slow it down to once a day and eventually just stop burping. Been keeping my hand out of the cookie jar for the last... 2 maybe 3 days. I'm going to try and only test a nug once a week to get a feel for how quick its curing and how much better the taste is from the previous week. Did this last grow and each week was a huge difference.. even at week 6! But she was more than ready at week 4!.. not sure how some can cure in 2 weeks unless you get it really dry.. which makes me nervous cuz at 55% RH, I've had horrible results. Trashed the whole remaining harvest.. this is why I like to try and keep the RH a little on the higher side (68% or 65% or so and slowly bring it down to 62% or 63%.. also called the "pre-cure" phase) but I want this harvest to hover around 62% for as long as possible because 62% seems to be the magical sweet spot when you leave them there for the entire 4 weeks.. just my experiences.. Buds aren't very dense, but I'm pretty sure thats due to harvesting a week or 2 too early 😢.. and leaving her in te dark for another 5 days or so before harvesting.. oh the horror she endured toward the end of her life.. she was a fighter tho.. no mold.. in ANY of these super high RH weeks she went thru during the most vulnerable parts! Harvsting, drying and pre-curing.. but not 1 speck of mold 😁 About 10 days into curing.. Yeah I wish I could have let her go another week or 2.. yield was defintely hurt.. quality could be better.. but it will do for now.. live and learn.. I seem to say that every grow 🤣 but still a nice, decent stoney, still pretty decent tasting smoke.. going to just do some small, short burps for the next week or 2. Want the RH to still come down a little.. but if not, meh. The RH (outside and indoors) has been high again.. but luckily I was able to get the RH in the jar down to 62% - 63% RH.. i just burp the jar for a few seconds.. remove the hygrometers and flip the buds.. then put the hygrometers back in, clos up the jar and let it sit till the next day. RH is so high in the room that it raises the RH in the jar a little. But they always go back down to 62% - 63% RH.. good deal. Waiting for a dry day to burp outside for a few minutes. Need to invest in a powerful dehumidifer.. ugh.. Somewhere between 3 and 4 weeks of curing... Yeah definately shows that I harvested early. Still an ok smoke. Could have been fatter.. could have been tastier.. definitely NOT Ethos fault. Kicking myself for not letting her go 1 - 2 more weeks. Wasnt by choice tho.. life happened and she had to be chopped. Just ready for a little warmth and I will begin the next run!!!
