The worst germination rate I've ever experienced... after 10 days only one seed germinated. This is the first and last time I grow seeds from Ethos Genetics.

Veg day 7. Not much happens. I planted it in a 2l pot. BioBizz Light Mix. My lamp is Spiderfarmer G3000, 60w and 30cm distance. I'm currently not convinced by the genetics. I'm thinking about stopping this grow. I'll wait another week to make my decision.

Veg day 14. My lady starts growing good. I don't know yet how exactly I should train her. Maybe I'll let my lady grow normally. I haven't had to water them yet, the soil is still wet, maybe in a few days. I guess my lady stays in 2l pot for another week and then it goes into 11l pot.

I have a little problem, I probably mixed too much fertilizer into the soil. The leaves are typically indica, large and wide. Unfortunately due to chicken manure it is very dark green and the new leaves have eagle claws to the light. I will transplant it into a larger pot in a few days and use less fertilizer there. If anyone has tips... they would help me. I think since the plant looks very stressed I won't train her.

I topped my plant, changed grow tent/light. I repotted the plant and she grew 10cm. I let it grow for another week and then switching to flowering. I'm still struggling with a few problems, is it too much or too little fertilizer? The leaves looking bad.. but she is growing and the roots looked very good. 11l Biobizz Lightmix, 120g chicken shit

I'm starting the flowering from today. It grows very bushy and has strong branches. I don't think it will stretch very much, my lady looks very indica like.

Flowering Day 21 The plant drinks water endlessly. I hope the stretch is over now. I haven't needed to fertilize yet. Now I give 265w of light power. I also removed a few leaves today so that more light could come through.

I let them stand for a few more days and then I harvest. Buds are very heavy and the plant smells very sweet orange. I just give it water and check for mold every day.

I would defoliate the plant and trim the lower half of that plant. It looks to be in a small container. You may want use a larger container next time if you don't want to water so frequently.

I think you should give it a chance. You may not be happy with the breeder so far but this plant looks very happy.

Viel Erfolg mit deinen Ladys 👊🌱 Ärgerlich mit der schlechten Keimrate. Würde mich echt interessieren, ob du Ersatz bekommen konntest

@RasendeRollo92, Ehtos zeigt keine Kulanz und verweisen auf ihre „Anleitung zum keimen“. Der Seed Shop wo ich die Samen für 70€ gekauft hatte war kulanter und hat mir ein 3er Pack Blueberry Cupcake von Humboldt Seeds Company gegeben. Dort alle 3 von 3 gekeimt. Werde die beiden stärksten Pflanzen behalten und die andere entsorgen um mit 3 Pflanzen „legal“ zu bleiben. Starte hier bald dafür ein Growreport.

Hey, sieht gut aus, ich hätte auch fast die Mandarin Zkittlez gewählt, bin jetzt aber doch bei ner Mandarin Cookies dabei. Würde sagen, dass du jetzt schon umtopfen kannst falls noch nicht geschehen. Mit dem Training würde ich bis Vegi Woche 3 oder 4 warten. Solche Strains lassen sich gut toppen, wenn du dafür genug Zeit hast, sonst LST würde ich sagen. Gib ihr eine Chance, ich bin total begeistert wie krass schon in der vegi der Stiel von meiner Mandarin Cookies riecht, sowas hab ich noch nie erlebt. Und sie sieht generell sehr vielversprechend aus. LG und Viel Erfolg!

I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience with Ethos MZ. I grew all 10 seeds out and I'm currently on my 2nd run of it. If you like the taste of the actual Skittles candy you'd love this strain. I would give them another shot. I know it's easier said than done but I've been growing for years and so far the 2 strains of ethos I've grown have been wonderful. Blueberry Muffin is also a good choice as a friend of mine just harvested some and gave me a bag of it. Good luck with your new hobby. Don't give up.

Hallo Growmie. Ich habe gesehen das du Biocanna benutzt hast. Wie ist dein Urteil im vergleich zur miner. Canna Terra reihe. Ich habe immer bei jedem zweiten Bewässern Canna Terra gegeben. Hast du das auch und wie oft gibst du dann Biocanna. Bei advanced Nurtrients Organic war nur jedes dritte mal Düngen vollkommen genug.
KritischeMasse
KritischeMassecommented16 days ago
@Stony_German hey, habe erst ab Umstellung auf 12/12 mit Düngen angefangen da ich 1x umgetopft habe und die Erde für 6 Wochen Vorgedüngt ist. Canna habe ich bei jedem Gießen verwendet bis Ende BW7 und gab nur noch Wasser seit dem. Es gab minimale Überdüngung an den Blatt Spitzen, bin insgsamt zu frieden wobei ich Bio Flores bevorzuge, haben die Pflanzen besser aufgenommen obwohl ich mehr als im Chema angegeben gedüngt habe.

I unfortunately experienced similar bad experience with Ethos genetics. Out of eight seeds four popped, one was a dwarf. Also, the free seeds never came.
the end.
