Noticing minor issues here and there. Dealing with them as they present. May have been pushing lights a bit hard, backed them off a notch and will continue monitoring and giving the plants what they want moving forward.
Will continue to update throughout the week as things progress.
Will likely do final leaf strip/defoliation mid week, will see how work and free time play out.
Mar 10
Plucking a few fan leaves here and there to get more bud sites exposed, haven't had the time to do a decent defoliation, will try to make it happen Sunday.
EHP 2 were dried enough, gave them a half gallon feed. 1400ppm 6.6ph
Was also one of the Crescendo 2 pots light. It got hit as well. Seems like rest of plants will be ready to feed shortly.
Mar 11
A couple of the Crescendo 1 and one of the Crescendo 2 are dry enough. Will be hitting with a feed.
Mixed
2ml/l cal mag
1tsp/gal maxi bloom
somehow ended up with a low enough TDS that I decided to hit with 4ml/gal kool bloom.
Ended up 1470 tds, 6.5ph
Mar 12
EHP1 are dry enough, gonna hit em with a feed same as last one 1480ppm 6.55ph
Mar 14
A couple of the crescendo 3 plants were starting to show a little colour on a few pistils, decided to hit with a feed that contained powdered kool bloom.
Nute mix was:
2ml/gal cal mag
1 tsp/gal maxi bloom
1/4 tsp/gal powder kool bloom
6ml/gal monkey juice
1550ppm
6.3ph
Also ended up giving that to the other plants whos soil was drying out.
2x crescendo 1
1x crescendo 2
3x crescendo 3
2x EHP 2
The crescendo 1&2 are showing calcium deficiency.
Just hit a couple of the Crescendo 2 and both of the ehp1 with 1600ppm @ 6.4ph
Was 10ml/gal cal mag
1tsp/gal maxi bloom
@gREEn7o0, sweet yea that's next on my list . I've been looking at some of their strains can't wait to try any one lol. Thx for checking out the Lil random stuff I have going atm .. just some random seeds I was given, kinda pissed I don't know what that really frosty plant is. Smells like a straight bag of skittles candy ... but growing like a runtz kinda thing I'll never know but it should be decent , she's almost done too .
@Grow4Releaf,
This is 2nd or 3rd time running clones from the ethos beans I popped. You should give them a shot. I have not been disappointed. Some of the best plants and best bud I have produced came from them. IMHO they are worth it.
@Inganjawetrust,
Thanks.
Yeah, these genetics are so far the best I have grown. That said I have only grown from maybe 5-6 seed companies, and I'm sure there are plenty of other fire genetics out there.
I was shocked the difference it made though. Tried to perfect growing techniques with shitty beans and couldn't get the results I wanted (big frosty nugs), eventually said screw it and tried ethos beans and Holy $#!+, more trichomes half way through flower with denser flowers than the other strains I had in the tent had when those were finished, killed rest of genetics off and will be buying better beans from now on. To think of all the time, electricity, and nutrients I wasted trying to make gold from garbage. (Not saying other genetics are garbage, honestly got some pretty decent results from most, although some were absolute garbage) but was not up to my personal standard. Oh well, lesson learned.
TL;DR I recommend paying the extra little bit for good beans, and would highly recommend ethos as a company that produces such.
@CandyFarm,
First time scrogging these genetics. Found out which ones worked better with it and learned how they stretched, next run will be a bit more even, but overall I'm happy with it.
Thank-you for the comment/compliment.
@FrostyFireFlowers,
Thanks, a few things here and there to iron out for next grow. Thinking about keeping crescendo 2 and hash plant 2, but gonna wait for yield results and smoke test before I kill off other mothers. Then I'll be able to run just 3 strains for a while. Can try to perfect their requirements and get a great run in, but these are quite decent for what they are getting.
Thanks for the comment/compliments.
Yo if you’re an ethos fan - you may like checking out www.getseedsrighthere.com and go to breeders and then “unreleased ethos”
You can get 5 packs for 30 and 10 packs for 60 right now on some KILLER new crosses
@gREEn7o0, no problem man ! I was so pumped when I found that site. They are legit and can be trusted. I’ve got a half dozen of those unreleased ones from them. Anything with end game 3 is fire. Grandpas stash 6 is a legit one too. Enjoy !
@Ezzjaybruh, just checked, they ship to Canada.. Sweet!! Gonna see if any of the boys wanna play with some new genetics and split shipping.
Thanks again for heads up.
@Ezzjaybruh,
Dude that's sick, thanks for info. Will have to see if there is something similar up here in canaderp or if they will ship up to here. Didn't even realize there were unreleased ethos packs.
@BudBoutiqueso far only smoked on the Crescendo 3. She's potent but smooth, high comes on slow, she's a creeper.
Flavour is fruity & hashy.
Haven't had time to even finish trimming up any of the hash plants, been busy with work and renovating house. Will likely have to give away a bunch of this harvest to friends, can't take it across the country with me. I have cloned the pheno types I want to keep, and will see if I can keep them alive on the 10 day road trip in a couple months, if not I have more beans of each strain, and will start over.
@FrostyFireFlowers,
It's 80% lucky guessing on what they want without going over, 10% Google searching,
10% getting a good camera angle to make it look bigger ;) lol.
Thanks though, I appreciate the comment and compliment. I'm sure you will be better than me, I've picked up a lot of bad habits and lazy man ways over the years, lol.
