Grape Diamonds R2 (Ethos)

Chopped her on 3/24 after 114 days of growing. She spent 11 days drying in the tent for a perfect dry. The humidity in the jars is 58-62 which is perfect. To summarize, I'm pretty disappointed with this grow. As you've seen, both the Grape Diamonds and Bubba Kush were hit with a pretty bad potassium deficiency right before flower and it definitely effected the quality and yield of the buds. I got 1.5oz on both cultivars, which is less than half of what I normally pull with this tent and light. That being said, the quality of the Grape Diamonds is still pretty good. As you can see the top buds are of medium size and very frosty. Moving the bud around in the light you can see the sparkle of the trichomes and the smell is out of this world. The Grape Diamonds is very terpy and the aroma is top tier with it being similar to a strong, artificial grape smell. Out of the two plants, the Grape definitely performed and bounced back the best. Despite the Grape showing signs of deficiency first, she was pretty vigorous and bounced back pretty well. I stressed the fuck out of this plant and abused her and she still rewarded me with decent buds. If I enjoy the effect of the Grape Diamonds I will definitely be growing her again with the intent to grow her to her full potential. While I don't want to rate this cultivar (as I achieved a subpar harvest via user error) I will say that Ethos is legit and has some fire genetics. She may be a keeper. The buds are more dense than fluff and range from small to medium size. Bud to leaf ratio was solid and trimming her wasn't too bad. Jarred the buds with 1.5oz on the scale. What could I have done better this grow? 1. Feed dry amendments earlier (in this case, 2 weeks earlier). 2. Give her more soil via bigger pot (7 gallon to 10 gallon). 3. Use better dry amendments (moving on from Down to Earth to BuildaSoil Craft Blend.) That's about it. I'm glad this grow is over. 17 weeks for a measly 1.5 ounce of usable bud is pathetic. I would have been better off vegging for half the time and would have probably gotten a better result. That being said, you live and you learn. I will adjust and get better for future organic only grows. :D
