Grumpy grow #1

—

I set the trellis and flipped the lights to 12/12h . Expect the stretch to begin soon. Let the tucking and weaving begin! Pot numbers: # 6 cookies /grandpa's stash #7 cheezy poofs # 8 planet of the grapes 9-13-22 midweek update Stretch has slowly started. Don't think that I need to weave the branches for a few more days , but you never know!

It is interesting to see how much the plant has grown since I switched lights 7 days ago. #6& #7 have grow in height while #8 has filled out more Started weaving #6& #7. #8 is still 1" from trellis. I am going to set next trellis by end of week. Turned up RED/IR/UV to 50% Feed plants 9-18-22 Day 8 WOW ,I can not believe the growth since yesterday! The plants easy grew 1"-2" ! Decided to put second trellis in this morning! Feed plants 9-19-22 Day 9 Plant #7 & #8 are close to reaching the second trellis. #6 is just now starting to reach the first trellis. However the hight difference between #6,#7 & #8 is really just 2"-3". Should be able to fill fairly evenly. 9-20-22. Day 10 Feed plants this morning. The plants look green and healthy. The plants are staring to grow white pistons and showing signs of flowering! 9-21-22 Day 11 #7 & #8 have mostly reaches the second trellis #6 is past the first trellis will be interesting to see if it will reach the second All 3 plants are now showing signs of Flower. 9-22-22 💧 #6 - Ethos Cookies #16 & Grandpa's Stash #7 - Ethos Cheezy Puff #8 - Ethos Planet of the Grapes

Wow going into the 3. Week of Flower. The plants have exploded since switching to 12/12 . #7 have close to doubled in size and are easily filling the second Trellis layer. #6 has also gotten bigger but it seems to have filled in more then shot up in height.. Will do a big defoiliate next Saturday. Will take everything below the first trellis including branches on #7  that do not reach the second trellis Turned IR to 75% 9-25-22 Feed the plants , they are looking great, but are ready for some trimming. Evening update: really don't know why but checked my soil this evening before lights turned off for the day and discovered it was bone dry. Watered the plants . Sure hope it starts cooling down soon. Temp in tent was upper 80's today, a tad warmer then wanted. 9-26-22 Plants seemed to have plenty of water left this morning, but might need checked on tonight. I am surprised that the plants are still stretching. Cheezy Puff & Cookies &Stash are much taller then the POG. The POG is more of a compact flower compared to the other two. The Flowers on all 3 are developing beautifully. 9-27-22 Day 17 It is amazing how much taller the Cheezy Puff as well as the Grandpa's Stash are compared to the POG All 3 look extremely happy and healthy and are developing plenty of bud sites. Feed plants this morning 9-28-22 Day 18 Is it only me that gets excited everyday when it's time to open the tent and feed the girls? Flowers are looking great but are ready for a trim! The incoming weather has me a little concerned, woke up to tent having RH of 70% closed the window and hope that helps 9-30-2022 day 20 The last two days have been tough on me and the geow. We got smashed by hurricane Ian and have been without electricity for the last 48 h with no end in sight. Opened the tent the last 2 days hoping the plants will get at least some daylight. With all the humidity in the air, the tent was at rh 98% when I opened it first this morning. Even after hours being opened the RH is still hovering around 75% Hope we get electricity back in the next 24h

10-1-22 day 21 Today was the day. Girls got trimmed They look butchered at the moment but it should do them well in the long run. While I know it's necessary to trim them, it still hurts my soul to trim them and cut away branches and lower bud sites. 10-2-22 day 22 I have to admit, the tent looks bare after the trim yesterday. I am pretty sure i did not harm to the girls.The plants are looking healthy. I Would guess I will see an explosion of growth in the next couple of days. 10-3-22 Day 23 Man that tent looks so bare when I open it at the moment. After being plush and green to the cleaned out plants... The POG is quite a bit shorter than the other two plants in tent. So i Set the POG pot on top of a Tupperware and now she is not to much further away from the LED's Feed girls this morning, will have to water the next 2 days until Nutrients get here on Wednesday. IR ON 100% 10-4-22 day 24 Cheezy poofs and EC&GPS look very similar in structure both are around 36 " tall. The CP leafs are a tad darker and are starting to show purple leaf stems. The buds ,while just developing seem to be a tad wider than the EC&GPS. Tha hairs on the CP is also a tad whiter while the EC&GPS IS Yellowish. The POG is much shorter then the other 2 . Bud sites are still tiny on the POG and some of the hair are slightly orange. 10-5-22 day 25 WOW I was so surprised to see the early trichrome development on the ladies! The buds are filling in daily. Really looking forward to this harvest! 10-6-22 day 26 Plants are showing its different heritage more and more daily The Cheezy poofs and EC&GPS have similar shaped and sized leaf structure but the EC&GPS is much lighter green. The POG is similar in color to the Cheezy but the leafs are compacted more and are slightly shorter. Both the Cheezy &POG seem to be a little ahead in trichrome development. 10-7-22 day 27 Not much to say today besides WOW! Plants are looking super happy and healthy and this in turn makes me happy! Feed

10-8-2022 Day 28 Going into week 5 almost the halfway point of Flower. It has been a week since I trimmed the Plants and they have remakebly recovered and the buds are filling in nice. The trichromes are also starting to show. I am excited about this grow! Day 31 Watered the ladies, looking great . The buds are tight ,stinky and sticky!! 10-9-2022 Well I almost got hit in the face this morning when I opened the tent. My lord is the smell LOUD!! Girls are looking phenomenal! Feed girls 10-10-2022 day 30 The plants are doing so much better than I could have wished for. They are green and the buds are looking yummy. 10-12-2022 day 32 Halfway point of Flower! When comparing all 3 strains the Ethos Cookies &Grandpa's Stash is producing so far the least amount of trichromes. The POG on the other hand looks like it will sparkle like a diamond , the Cheezy is also pretty frosty. 10-13-2022 Everything looks good! 10 -14 -2022 day 34 All buds are filling in and are getting loud. Especially the POG looks like someone sprinkled powdersugar over the buds! Good week overall , no problems. Did raise the ligh a few inches. The tlps looked like they where getting a little burn Week Review: The plants have remarkably recovered from the trimming last weekend. The Buds are really filling out now and they are developing trichrhomes. The bud spacing on all plants is nice and tight the nodes are spaced evenly. The Planet of the grapes is showing its Indica traits as it is a short bouquets like bush.The trichomes on the POG are sparkling like diamonds . The Cheesy Poof is also covered in trichomes. The Cookie and G Stash has much lighter leaves then the other two plants. Just noticed today that some of the pistons are turning color. I wonder with the 10-15 deg temperature swing at night if the plants will display any color changes.

10-15-2022 Day 35 Beginning of week 6 of Flower. Next weekend is the last defoiliation and then we are on the homestretch 10-16-2022. Day 36 Not much change from yesterday. The Cookies &Grandpa's Stash is starting to show the slightest change of color on the very edge of the leaves I can also see a slight change on the POG. On The Cheezy Poofs about 85% of leaf branches are purple and 100% show at least some color. Some of the branches have purple veins . Once I cut some of the nitrogen next week the color should start changing more significantly. 10-17-2022 day 37 Not much change from yesterday. The Cookies & Stash is showing purple on the tips of the leaves. Water 10-18-2022 day 38 I have had a tough time with my temperatures the last to days. The tent hit over 90 deg. Had to leave it open for a while. With that there have been 15 deg temp swings. From here on out it is supposed to be cooler which in turn should help with temp. 10-19-2022. Day 39 What a temp swing over night. Tent is 20 deg cooler this morning Buds seem like they filled in over night. 10-20-2022 I swear every time I open the tent the buds seem fatter! The tent is also smelling LOUD! With the cooler weather especially the Cookies & Grandpa's Stash are starting to show its purples. The POG on the other hand glisters in the light . Beautiful!! 10-21-2022 Day 41 What a color change on especially the Cookies &Grandpa's Stash! The purple is just starting to flush into the leaf veins. This colder weather is doing wonders for the grow. Week 6 Review Overall not very much going on . I don't want to jinx myself but this grow has been nothing but smooth sailing. This week we seen Hugh weather and temperature swings. The tent was anywhere between 68° & 93°. This 25° temp swing triggered the Cookies &Grandpa's Stash to start turning its leaves purple. The POG is the winner so far when it comes to trichrome development. It is just covered on frost. The Cheezy Poofs are also on the homestretch. The buds are fat and covered. Will start cutting back on the notes over the next 2 weeks. Will give plants a gentle defoiliation tomorrow.

10-22-22 day 42 Begin of week 7 . Definitely getting into the homestretch should only have 2-3 weeks left. Started to reduce the nutes today . Cut out the boost and reduced the bloom by 0.25 tsp 10-23-2022 day 43 With the cooler Temps it seems the pots are drying out slower then prior. Skipping the watering this morning to ensure dryback. Will check this afternoon. It's funny as I sit here looking at the grow it seems the buds are fatter then yesterday and the day before .... The colors are continuing to change on the Cookies &Grandpa's Stash which the other two pretty much show no sign of color but instead they show more trichrome development. Day 44 I am starting to sound like a skipping record, but those colas are just getting fatter and danker in smell every day. The Cookies & Grandpa's Stash has a few branches that would be snapping under the weight if not for the trellis. The Cookies &Grandpa's is still the only on showing some colors. She has really pretty colors coming in. 10-25-2022 Day 45 I took some daylight pictures yesterday and wad just blown away by the amount of trichromes on the Planet of the Grapes 🍇. The Cookies &Grandpa's Stash has some really fat buds on it. Without the trellis some of the branches might have snapped under the weight. It's colors are changing more and more daily. The Cheezy Poofs is just pretty. 10-26-2022 Day 46 Things are getting close to the end. Seems this morning as if the plants started the fade. Could just be me but it seemed as if the leaves were somewhat lighter in appearance. 10-27-2022. Day 47 Plants have 100% started their fades. Especially the Cookies &Grandpa's Stash is showing colors and lighting of the leaves. I could be wrong but it also seems as if the POG has the slightest hue of purple 10-28-2022 Day 48 Call me crazy but the buds om the POG just exploded in size this week. They look 50% bigger today the end of last week. This room Absolutely Stanks !!

10-29-2022 day 49 Last week of feeding has started. This also means I am getting close to harvest time.. I could not be happier with this grow . The plants are getting fatter and fatter as the days go on and all 3 of the strains have started the final fade . I have heard that the POG turns almost black but I might not see this happening on mine due to high temps.but some recoloring is happening 10-30-2022 day 50 Again it looks like the buds dbl in size from yesterday, ok that might be a lie but they are 100% getting fatter daily. Opening the tent in the morning is just the best!! 10-31-2022 Day 51 I can't believe the buds are still packing on weight. Today might be last feeding even though I should feed until end of week. Lm see how they look ... 11-1-2022. Day 52 Not much change from yesterday leaves are taking ok more colors, buds are ripening and I am ☺️ 11-2-2012 Day 52 Ohh FUCK , my girls all have started to Foxtail! The Cheezy Poofs more then the other 2. I am guessing it is due to my LED being to high in intensity and it being to hot in the room. I raised the light and turned it to down to 75% I hope it helps. Now the heat situation might cause me a divorce. I have to get a a/c for this room !!!! 11-3-2022. Day 54 I went and bought a AC to combat the heat in the grow room . It has definitely lowered the temperature . the tent was at 70 deg this morning ! however I did move the plants sightly and they are not to happy about it. I have to purchase or harvest some bamboo sticks for next grow to help hold up the stakes. Some of the buds are so heavy they would be laying on floor if not for trellis.I am nott sure if it will be different scrolling the grow. All3 plants are showing milky trichomes. 11-04-2022. Day 55 My heart breaks when I see the Foxtailing! 100% sure I stressed the girls with the light intensity and heat. BIG DUMMY!! Started the flush a few days back and cut back watering in general. Hoping to stress into more trichrome production.

11-05-2022. Day 56 The tent has the most beautiful fall colors. The A/C is making such a difference. The Cookies &Grandpa's Stash is every shade of red and yellow the POG flowers are turning deep purple almost black and the Cheezy Poofs is Foxtailing like no tomorrow. On all 3 plants the trichromes are 90% milky but no Amber showing yet. 11-06-2022 Day 57 I so hate this part. . Now it's like hurry up and turn amber!! With that said 0 Amber showing yet. 11-07-2022 Day 58 Sitting here twirling my thumbs waiting for some amber to start showing...... 11-08-2022. Day 59 And still twirling...... 11-09-2022. Day 60 ........ 11-10-2022 All trichromes are milky so we are in the homestretch...... 11-11-2022 the wait is real. the trichomes are pretty much all milky but I cant really see any amber yet, but I do think that the end id in sight

11-12-2022 Day 63 Waiting patiently for trichromes to turn amber. 11-13-2022. Day 64 the plants are looking beautiful but still not ready for harvest. This wait is killing me... lol 11-14-2022 Day 65 ....... 11-15-2022 Day 66 oh Lordy my Patience is being tested , please give me the strength to withstand the urges ...... lol At least it seems that we have 99% milky trichomes 11-16-2022 Day 67 And still. ......... 11-17-2022. Day 68 The tent looks absolutely stunning. the colors are spectacular. and the smell is of the hook . If I can smell it it must stank.LOL . But still waiting for the trichomes to turn amber. 11-18-2022 Day 69 Alright now......

11-19-2022 day 70 We are 100% in the home stretch. Really not sure how much longer I am going to leave them before harvest.

The Planet of the Grapes was fairly uncomplicated to grow. she produced beautiful sunset colored flowers that where completely covered in trichomes . when I trimmed the plant my hands stuck together like super glue. nice little harvest. would grow again

Cheesy Poof was the ugly stepchild in the Tent . While the other 2 plants had beautiful color fades this just turned yellow. I had some Foxtailing on this plant I am not certain if it wad due to light intensity or the heat .Either way I raised the lights and attached a A/C unit. Both those actions solved the problem. This plant had the least amount of trichomes . I have not smoked the plant yet but just due to aesthetics I Would not Grow the Cheesy Poofs again

The Cookies & Grandpa's Stash was fairly easy to grow. The branches ended up being much longer then I anticipated. Once it starts to fill in the buds the 2 trellises where not enough to keep the branches upright. if I grow this strain again I will use bamboo or some type of stick to keep flower upright. The plant had a beautiful pink fade with distinct flower formation within the buds.The buds had a fair amount of trichomes but bud was not covered.
