ETHOS Clones (Diary #8)

BLOOM WEEK 8 (Oct 10-16) --------------------------------------------- TARGETS: • 22-25c / 40-45% (Day) • 18-20c / 45-50% (Night) • 1.2-1.6 VPD • FLUSH KC/MC • 1.3-1.5 EC CG/GS/ELB • TAKE ONE HR OFF LIGHTS ON (11/13)✅ Lots to do this week. Will start flushing the Kush Cakes and Mandarin Cookies this week and continue until the others are done. The Cherry is definitely going 9 weeks and likely Grandpa's Stash as well. Getting some colour on a few plants, can't wait for that fade. _________________ Oct 10 AM (1L) • Remainder of yesterday's fertilizer used up • 1.3 EC / 6.1 pH PM (2-4L) Mix 1: 25ml Silica, 25ml PK 14/15, 20ml PB Tea : 5 gal water = 1.3 EC / 6.0 pH Mix 2: 36ml Flawless Finish : 5 gal water = 0.5 EC / 6.1 pH 🌡️: 24c ✅ ❄️: 18.5c ✅ 🌧️: 49.9% ✅ ☁️: 45.1% ✅ 📈: 1.7 ⬇️ 📉: 1.12🆗 📊: 1.37 kPa✅ _____________ Oct 11 (2-4L) • 2L @ 0.5 EC - KCs/MC • 4L @ 1.3 EC - ELB/CG/GS 🌡️: 24c ✅ ❄️: 18.7c ✅ 🌧️: 49.6% ✅ ☁️: 44.9% ✅ 📈: 1.64 🆗 📉: 1.02 🆗 📊: 1.34 kPa ✅ ________________ Oct 12 • 4L @ 0.5 EC - KCs/MC • 2-3L @ 1.3 EC - ELB/CG/GS 🌡️: 23.5c ✅ ❄️: 18c ✅ 🌧️: 49.5%✅ ☁️: 42.9% ✅ 📈: 1.7 ⬇️ 📉: 1.05 🆗 📊: 1.36 kPa ✅ So I haven't been dumping a ton of water in the flush yet...since I'm going for two weeks, I figure just get a little more runoff than usual for the week. Will start increasing the volume next week. The Mandarin Cookies is super ready to harvest. Good amount of amber on her. I'd say she was done around day 50. Debating on chopping her but there's nowhere to dry her. Keeping a close eye out for bananas because she's gonna be chopped around day 63 if everything else works out. Kush Cakes are very close to being done. Really frosty with a nice light green and bright orange hairs. The smell is all cookies. Very terpy. Early Lemon Berry is a little ahead of the Cherry G-S-Y and Grandpa's Stash. If I had a room full of them, they'd be chopped at day 56, no problem. The lowers aren't as ripe so we're letting em go a full 9 weeks. The citrus candy terps off this one are insane. Greasy, waxy flowers look very dense and tops are bending under the weight. Grandpa's Stash is a beast. I took out the stakes and untied everything because the branching is so strong they don't need the support. Arm length colas stacked all the way. Starting to see some ripening pistils but there's still patches of white hairs all over the place. She's going 9 weeks for sure. Cherry G-S-Y is the smallest plant in the room. Very compact and not overly leafy. The branching needs support with the mains all leaning outwards, giving the lowers good light penetration. This one's looking like it will finish last, not a lot of ripe pistils yet. Might still be swelling so I've kept the feed schedule going. Heavy flushing next week. _________ Oct 13 • 2L @ 0.5 EC - KCs/MC • 2L @ 1.3 EC - ELB/CG/GS 🌡️: 24.1c ✅ ❄️: 19.8c ✅ 🌧️: 50.3% ✅ ☁️: 43% ✅ 📈: 1.71 ⬇️ 📉: 1.15 🆗 📊: 1.41 kPa ✅ __________ Oct 14 • 2L @ 0.5 EC / 6.2 pH 🌡️: 26.4c ❌⬇️ ❄️: 18.9c ✅ 🌧️: 52.9% 🆗 ☁️: 44.2% ✅ 📈: 1.92 ❌⬇️⬇️ 📉: 1.03 🆗 📊: 1.38 kPa ✅ __________ Oct 15 • 4-6L @ 0.5 EC / 6.2 pH 🌡️: 26.6c ❌⬇️ ❄️: 19.8c ✅ 🌧️: 50.8% ✅ ☁️: 43% ✅ 📈: 1.98 ❌⬇️⬇️⬇️ 📉: 1.15 ✅ 📊: 1.39 kPa ✅ The issues with high temperatures are all my fault. These spikes got the VPD out of range for most of both days. One of the days I forgot to turn the dehumidifier back up to 50% during lights on causing a few hours of +25c. The second day I forgot to open the basement window during lights on. Need to get it together and finish strong. I woke up to see a biiiig branch on the GS had snapped and fallen over. Brutal timing to stress her out because she needs the full 9 weeks, maybe more. I tied it up, need more plant ties. The flushing is clearly adding moisture weight to the colas and they're leaning a bit too aggressively. _____________ Oct 16 (4-6L) Flawless Finish 2ml /L @ pH 6.0 🌡️: 24.3c ✅ ❄️: 18.7c ✅ 🌧️: 48.4% ✅ ☁️: 42.1% ✅ 📈: 1.61 ✅ 📉: 1.17 ✅ 📊: 1.32 kPa ✅ All pots are super light today so we're doing it all over again tonight. Super happy with things overall...Kush Cakes and Grandpa's Stash are swelling big time. Thought the KCs were a bit of a dud but they're packing it on late. The Cherry apparently does the same thing but I'm still waiting to see it. The big fan leaves are changing all sorts of colours and some of the flowers are picking up some purple and blue hues. The smells are so good I don't want to leave the room most nights. Can't wait to see what they reveal after drying and curing.
