ETHOS Clones (Diary #8)

Super fuckin stoked to get these Ethos cuts yesterday. A friend of mine is doing his 4 outside and offered them up for free as he's pruning the bottoms. Another buddy is letting me take cuttings from his Grape Diamonds #17 x Grandpa's Cookies #6 and Kush Cake #10 x Grandpa's Cookies. Likely grab them tonight 😁. 3 strains are out of the Early Girls pack and the other 3 are known to have a fast trigger to bloom and finish in less than 60 days. The hope is that the cuttings in coco root successfully so I can just pitch the backups sitting in water. This is probably the most time I've spent prepping substrate...I've never screened it before so there's that...it's been double buffered and the water is always dechlorinated and pH adjusted. I'm using the Ethos recommended container set-up for this run (pictured) to see if it makes a difference. For the purpose of filling in blank fields, I'll be using the day the roots show up to be the "germination date". Hopefully by the end of the week we'll see some action. I'll veg them a week in the solo cups, then 3-4 weeks in the 5 gallon bags before flipping to 12/12 Update: Secured a cut from the Kush Cake x GP Cookies but the Grape Diamonds had nothing to take. June 25 update: Cuttings in the coco all slumped over so there's likely too much air to start rooting. I'm just keeping them in water until they show roots. It takes longer but it will work. June 30 Update: The Kush Cake cuttings have sprouted roots, so that's great. I took all the other cuts two days before the KC so hopefully the rest follow suit. Both transplanted into solo cups, flushed with 400 PPM A+B & CaMg. July 2 Update: - Mandarin Cookies x Grandpa's Cookies shows roots - Grandpa's Stash shows roots - Early Lemon Berry shows roots - Cherry Gar-See-Ya no roots Once roots build up a bit, I'll get them into solo cups and that will be the end of the "Germination stage".
