According to everyone I know who smokes, albeit not nearly as much as me, this is really great weed. Personally I think it's a solid daytime smoke, but it came out a little on the average side for potency. The few people who have smoked it tell me I'm crazy for thinking it's not terribly potent. This is eye opening to me, because I think this is the first time I've realized how much my tolerance has been increasing over the past year. It also brings in to focus how many factors there are when looking at "rankings" for strains and just how personal it all ends up being.
So in the end I think a 9 out of 10 is appropriate. It's obviously beautiful weed, bag appeal is out of this world. It may have plenty of potency for the average joe, but for a regular like me it's not exactly mind blowing. Maybe that is partially my fault, maybe not. But Ethos does advertise a crazy 30% cannabinoid number, and even if the Jack's nutrients weren't perfect for it I still expect more. I did switch nutrient lines after this so I expect I'll come back to it in the future just to double check myself.

The grow did go great using only this in the same amounts for the entire grow. I'm trialing the GH Flora trio instead of this to see if there's much of a difference
Jack’s Professional 20-10-20 Peat-Lite
I transitioned from this calmag to GH once I realized it was a weaker formula with extra N in it
Nothing wrong with it but it made a mess in my reservoir. Probably great for hand watering though.
This strain grew very well. In fact, my favorite thing with this strain is unrelated to the smoke. The buds were drop dead gorgeous with hints of purple throughout. Trimming was much easier with this compared to most other strains. The buds are rock hard, easily the most dense buds I've ever grown. She had a monstrous stretch, so much so that I got worried I was running out height in my tent, but it all worked out just right. All in all I'm SUPER happy with how this strain grows.
Smoke review
The flavor of this strain has been all over the place during cure. Of course I couldn't resist trying a sample after drying, and it was truly terrible. I left it alone for 2 weeks and then it was.......perfume and dryer sheets? Thankfully now after about 4 weeks it's developing much more of the cookies and cake flavor I was expecting. This strain, maybe more so than other strains I've grown, really seems like it will benefit from a long cure. It's been a wild ride, but I think it's all positive from here. Should be a very tasty strain once it gets there.

The best thing you can do is be critical of your environment my friend. Just don’t overthink it too much. Plants love the light!
Have you thought about getting a small 20lb co2 tank? 900-1000 par is normal, but if your seeing some deficiencies it can only be a handful of things. Usually it’s lack of nutrition or air for them to breathe…usually. You are on the right track my friend so don’t doubt yourself.
Remember you’re also almost to day 50 of flower…changes in the leaves are normal and one correction is not more nitrogen during the flowering stage. Lack of cal mag is going to show yellowing more than a lack of nitrogen

@Dmars, so when your plants are in flower deficiencies look different than in veg. I’m not a botanist by any means lol. But I know a little bit after growing at scale for a decade and a half. I’ve read a lot to go with this hands on experience. If you ever want to brainstorm just direct message me my friend and between the two of us we can put out some great grows! I’ve enjoyed our back and forth texts. You’ve got a great plant there, so don’t doubt what you are doing!

@FrontRowAG_BrianG, Now that I'm home and looking at my plants more closely I think you pointed me in the right direction here. I did think it was weird that I was getting light stress and wasn't really sure why. But now I'm thinking it's actually a calcium deficiency, either via my old EC meter leading me astray or by swinging my pH down. This is extremely helpful to know. Thanks a ton!

@Dmars, oh and as an afterthought, I would go with the blue lab pen out of the 2 you have to choose from. I’m about to go thru some growing pains myself as it is my 1st time using salt nutrients. I’ve already made some critical mistakes using such large pots instead of smaller ones like i should have. As in life, hindsight is always 20/20

@FrontRowAG_BrianG, so last time I only got 10 ounces, but that was my first run in this 3x3 and I was still feeling things out with the light and the nutrients. This grow is light years above my last so far, so right now my hope is for 15 ounces but that's just based off of math. I really don't know what I'll be getting until we get there. Also this strain is super new and there isn't really much reference out there for it other than a couple other diaries and what Ethos says on their website.

@Dmars, How much do you usually harvest in a small tent like that if everything goes right? Just curious…

Are tose Co2 bags on the floor? Isnt Co2 heavier then air?

Happy_Rootscommented10 months ago
@Dmars, i havnt really noticed a significant difference between using or not the co2 bags. From my understanding the plants still get co2 from outside with windows being open. Humans and animals produce co2. In nature a plants/trees job is to take in co2 to make oxygen. So with that baseline, id have to assume the same for an indoor grow....🤷
Plant looks beastly though! Greatwork!

Dmarscommented10 months ago
@Happy_Roots, yeah they are on the floor but that's because I had to move my exhaust out of the tent in order to raise my light more. Doing that removed the room the bags had to sit on top of the light. I just don't have a good option for hanging them now and figured keeping them on the floor was better than just removing them. I honestly don't think they contribute much of anything anyways and won't be buying them again. - EDIT - I did find a way to get them back up there after revisiting it. Thanks for getting me to reevaluate it.

@FrontRowAG_BrianG, I appreciate the kind words. I've had a good run, easily my best yet. I do really like the way this strain grows, maybe just wish I knew how intense the stretch would be ahead of time but it all worked out. She's got decent internode spacing and after a few good rounds of defoliation is a very airflow friendly plant. I don't foresee a miserable time in trim jail as she should be quick and easy, which is absolutely an underrated part of the grow. And while I do have a little bit of larf way, way down low (which I should have just trimmed off once I noticed it), every decent bud site that's getting any real light is a solid, dense, frosty, well formed bud. The only missing thing right now is I still need to check for potency, effects, and flavor. If it can check those boxes as well this will have been a massive, massive success.

Good video and it gives lots of insight into your grow. You’ve got so many bud sights bro. If you could manage to tuck the plant parts back under the net that start to stretch for the 1st 2 weeks of flower you can damn near double your end harvest. All this does is trick the plant into thinking all its branches are tops. So your larger buds will be from edge to edge instead of just what is reaching for the light. Amazing job for such a small tent, bro I’m jealous!!!

@FrontRowAG_BrianG, yeah the way this plant ended up looking is not how I originally intended it to lol. The stretch was so much crazier than I thought it would be and it limited my options. I did want a nice even canopy all around and I had that when I flipped the lights, but as you can see some parts just flew up and ended up creating almost a second "lower canopy". I decided that with the limited space I have I would just let it do it's thing and keep in mind to veg a little less next time so that when I do get some crazy stretch I'll have the room necessary to bring them back down.

@FrontRowAG_BrianG, the stretch really surprised me here. I'd have to go back and measure to know for sure but I'm pretty sure she almost tripled in height. Thankfully I have just barely enough room in the tent to make it work.

This is what I’ve been waiting for. I’ve got the same issues going on with one of my mandarin cookies phenos. Looks amazing, rock hard, hardly any smell…and the smell the last 2 weeks of grow will almost tell you all you need to know. Good stuff tho @Dmars. The grow really did turn out well plus 3/4 lb for one plant is the number I strive for!!!
