Not a lot going on. Plants continuing to show calcium deficiency, will keep in mind not to reduce calcium until after week 5 flower next time. Tried to reduce cal-mag to boost pk without causing blockages or ramping ec up too high (was hitting 1700ppm with normal feed with boosters and cal mag, and 900 with only cal mag and booster), but cut calcium a bit too much, still learning what these plants want as its only 2nd run with these genetics. Next run I'll use this diary as a guide and hopefully get them perfect.
Aside from calcium deficiency plants are still putting on weight and trichomes. Will still end up being a good run.
Ehp 2 is a late bloomer, was almost a week behind to start flowering, will keep that in mind next run. It has the structure and terp profile I like, so will likely keep it running. Will be reducing the plants I have and am using this run as final decision maker. So far, will likely be hash plant pheno 2 and crescendo 2 that stick around. But let's see how they finish up.
Will update throughout the week as things go down.
Mar 17
Crescendo 3, 2 of the Crescendo 1, and both of the Ethos hash plant 2 were dry enough. They all got the same feed I have been mixing:
1tsp/gal maxi bloom
2ml/l cal mag
1/4 tsp/gal dry kool bloom
ended up 1600ppm (3.1 mS EC)
also decided EHP 2 had enough bud to finally warrant a decent defoliation. (I usually wait until I feel there will be enough plant matter left to catch some light and not be detrimental to growth, it's all just a feeling, but has worked for me so far.)
Mar 19
All of the hash plants and 1 of the Crescendo 1 were dry enough, hit with 1450ppm @ 6.35ph
2ml/l calmag
.9 tsp/gal maxi bloom
1/4 tsp/gal powder kool bloom.
Mar 21
A couple crescendo 3 and crescendo 1s were dry, fed with same as above
Mar 22
A couple crescendo and a hash plant were dry
Fed as above.
@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.
