The ETHOS Apex R1 fem were pretty easy considering my first grow. FFHF soil with coco loco and perlite with recommended nutrients. Tap water and love.
They all love to be trained, topped, FIM, whatever... they get hungry.
I ran three seeds from one batch and they each had slightly similar traits of sweet berries and citrus but two were solid diesel and one was pure sugar berry marshmallows and that one happened to also be a half-sized plant. It just didn't get as big as her sisters at all.
Everything seems to be dripping with oils and covered in heavy trichomes. At 6 months in Boveda and canisters it's still killer.
Removed a couple of fan leaves from the top in order to expose the new growth and the next day it was as if nothing was removed and everything doubled. They are vigorous growers big eaters and very happy with LST.
The soil I'm using to grow the seedlings in is a mix of mostly FFHF (85.69%), FF CocoLoco (5.257%), Perlite (9.3459%). I threw about a 1/2" of raw perlite in the bottom of each Solo Cup and poked hella-holes in the bottom with an exacto knife and/or a spade drill bit to drain 'em
Only one of the three additional seeds sprouted in the soil. Total of 3 seedlings. Two are developing first real leaves. The third is catching up fast.
Just started a GSC auto and a gelato auto. We'll see if they pop and if I can muscle em through veg into flower while the APEX is in veg for the long haul.
