Ethos hash plant hunt

17/17 germination for the old lot 14/17 germination for the new lot *(15/17) 3 of the new lot seeds did not crack. So I dug them out of the soil and cracked the tip between my two fingernails. I re planted those 3 seeds and watered heavily. If they come up that's great. If not. Oh well. Results are surprising. I would have assumed that the old lot seeds would have experienced a hardening of the seed coating. Update day 3 everything is going well. Took off all the stuck seed coatings. Turned up the power a little on the. No leggy seedlings!! Added a humidifier set to 70%. Added a heater with a controller set to 70F. Added a fan to strengthen the plants. Fun times ahead Day 6: Update on uncracked seeds: 1 of them recovered. other two did not. Gave the plants their first real watering now that the first true leaves have started to develop signaling root expansion. Used 32oz of water and 1/8tsp seaweed, 1/8tsp humic acid and 1/8tsp recharge Day 7: no signs of stress or over watering so I think it was a success.

Day 8! Plants are doing great. No complaints yet. The week has been super smooth up until the end. See next post for more details on the overwatering...Kinda forced when the plants are so small. No signs of root or stem rot or anything. And they already are looking a little better after the few adjustments to the environment. I did see that the temp was going doing to the 50's at certain points due to my inline fan kicking on for 30 minutes every 4 hours to clear the stagnant air. Should be all set now with the controller

Another week in the bag! onto the third set of true leaves. A few more and the MAINLINING BEGINS! This previous week was a mixed bag. I unfortunately had to leave for the weekend and was forced into overwatering the plants during a cold snap in my area. Not great for target VPD. In order to compensate, I have setup my AC infinity 69 controller (giggity) and set the VPD value. Turned up the heater now that I am back and gave myself more control over the ventilation fan. Other than a little cold snap of chill, the plants are looking pretty good. Hoping they recover this week in the warmer heat I am giving them during this cold snap. Warmer weather coming soon Update 3/6: Plants have made an almost full recovery from the cold snap and overwatering. Some legacy leaves will probably be permanently damaged. This doesnt matter to me too much, once the mainline starts all those leaves were gonna get composted anyway!

Week 4! Plants have fully recovered from the cold snap! Took about 3-4 days of stunted growth Hand watering is always fun and difficult when the plants are small. Stonington blend is not recommended for starting plants unless you add perlite to lighten the soil base. One benefit is I only have to water like once a week! Been oxygenating the water to prevent root rot and feeding recharge every time. Liquid humate and fish to round it out and stimulate biology.

Wooo it's was a close one. Plants were starting to get a little stressed in the small pots. Saw some root bound symptoms and quickly evaced to fabric pots. 1 gal frabic pots

Mainlining has begun. I'm gonna need some good training to help manage these plants outdoor so I am glad I'm starting early. Plan to top maybe 3 more times... Took clones and put them under 12/12 light. Trying to identify sex since I'm mainlining and it will be delayed significantly I can legally only have 12 female plants and since I am not trying to get the landowner in trouble with the town I'm gonna abide. I have 32 samples so if it's an avg yield I'll get 16 fems to choose between. I'm honestly betting it'll be 11 females based on my past luck with this strain. White clover cover crop is coming up through the straw mulch layer to hold the top layer of moisture in. Next week I will be adding blumat irrigation to practice before my big greenhouse expansion. Onwards and upwards 👆
