Everything's looking OK. Just riding it out until I see some amber in the buds. Included a few trichrome shots, mostly still clear with some white. I'm hoping by the end of the week it'll be mostly white with some amber. I'm anxious for chop time!
Buds have swolen up nicely, some bigger than others of course but that's the way she goes I suppose. I still think I'm gonna break my goal of 1.5 lbs.
Edit: I added a picture of the new tote system. The way the pvc is installed is much better than the way my other one is. Also the grow container is offset vertically by 4" so that I can utilize a larger water volume in the res. May look long, but that's because it needs to reach the center of a 4x8. This plant is literally falling out of the tent when I unzip it. To utilize the space in the best way I can think of (without running more plants at a time, which I am not looking to do right now) I'm going to position my 2 site container in the center and train the left and right sides out to fill approx 3/4 of the sqft available. Leaves room for airflow and makes for easy care, tent will be lit by a se7000 and a sf4000 and I'll be adding co2 mid flower.
If anyone has any recommendations regarding the tote design, I'm always open to suggestions. Also, in an effort to prevent stagnant areas in the grow container when the roots get big, I'm thinking if making a pvc frame that goes all the way around the inside of the tote, just under the lid. Have holes drilled in the bottom side so that when the water is pumped in, it will be dispersed around the entire perimeter rather than having a single entry point.
@D_growz, if you want a good deal on their genetics - check this site out.. Not affiliated with this company or anything but they sell ethos “unreleased” stuff on the low for like $30 a 5 pack and $60 a 10 pack. Excellent crosses

Go to unreleased ethos under breeders. Been running these lately. End game 3 x ethos cookies 16. Got a Punchberry cookies cross.. I could go on.
Looking good! Excited to see this one come to fruition. Looks like you've got a couple bushy beasts going there. Badass work as per usual. keep it up! Happy growing bro!
@@Permafry, thanks a lot! I feel like I still have a lot to learn but getting better each time.
Definitely will post the plans for the next one when I start the next diary.
@D_growz, oh I see what you mean, the one one the left is tiny tiny. What a great amount of growth sites you've got going on that lady. Damn she's gonna be a monster under your care! Great work and Happy growing!
@WhiteEdge, Thanks! The app glitched out on me and wouldn't upload the new pics so the current ones are about a week before harvest. I'll def update once the dry is done.
"I have also learned my lesson on being stingy with seeds. From now on I will be planting double what I intend to grow, then only keeping the ones that are growing vigorously." - This is a good idea, at first every seed was precious to me but now, only 6 weeks into my second grow, I already have more seeds than I could reasonably grow this year. I am learning so much! Plant more than you need and take the best forward. We are spending time every day for weeks or months, best to invest that time in worthy progeny.
@UnorthadoxDude, for real. This is my 6th grow, I've just gotten very lucky with my plants in the past and they've all grown relatively well. This time though, the difference is unreal. I haven't gotten seeds from any I've grown, but in comparison ro the return of even 1 plant a pack of seeds is cheap so may as well filter out the best
I Just read your entry about germinating more seeds for a better selection. And I dropped three more seeds in to the five i dropped in the water yesterday.
I always forget to be more picky about my plants.
@Metatronix, yea, lesson learned for sure. The difference between the two was noticeable even in the first week. I normally just germ however many I intend to grow and just roll with it, but with this small one I'm not too optimistic about the yield. And at the end of the day, one truly virile plant could easily pay for a while pack of seeds, so no need to hold back
@Metatronix, thanks!
I added a pic of the new setup today. I've got a bit more work to do before I put it into action. Ready to get the next one going!
