Just chopped down today.. The entire house smells of freaking LEMONS lol.. It only took about 15 mins to chop down, remove ANY fan leaves that I could reach the stems on and hang them up.. These are some super dense colas! I like to check on them every 12 hours or so.. Make sure humidity isnt too high or too low.. Im going to TRY and keep the little computer fan off for now because I really want this to take 5-7 days to dry, if not more, if I can.. ETHOS Genetics is on the top of my list of favorite genetics so far! Can't wait to start some of their others!!! Will be updating as I go!...
Dried for 5 days.. AND I HAD TO TASTE HER!!! OMG!!! IT'S ALREADY SOOOO SMOOTH! Trimmer her up was a breeze! So many super coated sugar leaves! Was finished it 45 mins! The trim is gonna make a nice little ball of bubble hash! I got a nice little ball of scissor hash too.. The smell.. Holy shit.. The fucking smell is so epic! I know I keep using the word "epic" throughout the whole grow.. But that word is definitely deserved! Citrusy as fuuuuck! I cant wait to see how she is after being cured for a couple months!
Love this light! Only good for a 3x3 or 2x2 tho.. Got my Optic Slim 320H and a 2x4 ready for my next grow tho!!! But yeah this light is pretty cool for a smaller tent.. Their FC series looks BEAST ASF!
This grow was fun.. I did 12/12 from seed and grew it in a 32oz McD cup.. Wow.. These are some super fat, super dank, and super citrusy colas! ETHOS FTW! Will be updating!!!
24 Hours Drying...
Relative humidity in the dry area is between 68% - 72%.. I have been running the little computer fan off and on within the last 24 hours.. About 8 hours constant then off for another 8 hours then kinda blah not knowing whether I wanted it on or off the last 8 hours lol.. But hours 24-48 I'm going to leave it off and the hours 48-72 I havent got that far into the process in my head yet.. Lolol I'm sure I am WAAAY over thinking this.. But I dont want my first mold experience to be with ETHOS.. and I dont want my 3rd too dry too fast either with this strain.. The dankness is so incredible with this one.. My mind is blown by how epic ETHOS is.. If anybody knows of any other breeders that are as good as or better.. Please let me know in the comments!.. Anyways.. ZzZzZz...
72 hours of drying...
Leaves are a bit crispy.. Buds are still moist a bit.. Small branches are still pretty bendy.. There was an 8 hour period that I did run the fan... The smell is a little hay like.. But this bud is so dank I'm sure the dank smell will come back.. Starting to notice that some strains smell like hay, but come back.. Some never smell like hay ever.. Idk.. Just something I've noticed.. It could just be my shitty environment tho.. Ugh.. So far so good with this one tho! Should be at least another 2 days.. But I'm shooting for a week at least.. Then into jars!!!
Dried and beginning of cure...
Took 5 days.. Not bad I suppose. Trimming only took about 45 minutes. It was almost difficult to WANT to trim alot of these sugar leaves because they were so incredibly covered in trichomes! But I can make a nice little bit of bubble hash with the trim so I trimmed her nice and close.. Gonna let her cure for a week or so then I'll get the weight.. I try to get them into the jars a little early.. Its easier to just burp them alot if they are too moist.. But impossible to get the up to 62% if they are too low.. I'd rather them be about 68% - 70% RH because thats technically just adding more "drying" time if you really think about it.. Then once they get to about 65% RH I slow the burping quite a bit.. Like only once or twice a week.. I've found this really helps terps and whatnot.. But anyhoo.. They have been in jars for about 24 hours.. They are already reading jar (2) 68% RH and jar (3) 64% RH.. Oh.. Let me explain the weird numbering. Lol.. My jars were already numbered.. Jar (1) is currently unavailable lol.. So jar (2) has all the nice, big, top shelf nugs and jar (3) has all the smaller, but still nice and dank as fuck nugs lol.. So excited for this! And normally I would have already started smoking what I've dried.. But since I cannot smoke, this will be perfect to actually give them plenty of time to cure nicely! So happy with ETHOS Genetics.. Fucking EPIC!!! Lol...
Beginning of cure..
I tried a nug lol.. So smooth.. So fucking tasty too.. You can literally taste the citrus.. I love this strain! I can't wait to see some other ETHOS strains and see what they are about...
Week one of curing..
Ive been burping daily.. Sometimes twice daily. I went ahead and put both jars into one.. Fuck it lol.. But 37 grams dried.. After 1 week of burping jars it is now reading 62% - 63%.. So now Ill stop burping daily.. Im gonna try to just go weekly.. If I can resist getting wiffs of it.. Lol.. It smells so fucking amazing
12-12 from seed.. Middle of week 5. Plant is topped at 3rd node and 1st node is also removed.. Leaving only 2 nodes (4 branches).. In 12-12FS, is there a preflower phase? Like a week or 2 of just preflower.. Then after that the flower stretch and whatnot?? Anybody know???
If you 12/12 from seed the plant wonโt switch to flower right away it will still grow for about 4-6 weeks before showing sex.
After plant shows sex it will start to pre flower for about 2 weeks. During this time the plant will stretch usually 100-300%. Then plants will start putting on buds.
Growmies!... Is Neem oil OK to use in coco when 6 - 7 weeks into flower? Pests are in the medium, not the foliage. I read that the plant can absorb some taste/smell from the Neem.. Anybody have any experience with drenching medium with Neem this far into flower? And results?...
No I wouldn't do that. A little dawn soap and water would be better than neem oil and just enough to wet a couple inches down as soap contain Phosphate. Cheers
@Harukisan,
Thanks growmie.. I think she could have produced more if I would've actually vegged her.. I was impatient one day, was already flowering a plant and popped this seed.. So I just rolled with it lol.. But I wish I could've vegged her longer.. I think she could have yeilded a bit more.. But still happy with the results.. I think most of it was in the genetics. I can't wait to start another! Got 9 more of these seeds!!!
@Docteur_8,
Have you seen my plant being grown in the suitcase.. A little under 1 sqaure foot of space.. 8 tops under 3 e27 bulbs?? Its named "*TC*" its just a couple of bag seeds that I crossed and feminized.. Bout halfway thru flower now.. But it seems pretty promising so far
@BermudaCower,
I dont think it "tricks" it.. The size of the nugs is just genetics.. It is bigger than a solo cup.. But this isnt gonna yield 80 or 100 grams or anything.. Maybe if I didnt top her so early on she would have.. But I think that growing in cups only restricts the vegetative growth.. Once in flower, the plants genetics are set to flower how they are gonna flower.. Ive done a few cup grows in the last 2 years.. This isnt the only one.. Many have stopped growing in vegetative growth.. But once budding I dont see any difference in flower.. Thats why Im doing the white widow auto in a 9oz cup in another diary.. If the buds come out about the same. Then I think my opinion stated up may be the case.. Still testing this theory tho lol
@BermudaCower,
Oh and to answer the question "why?"... Idk.. Lol.. Just to see if it can be done.. It actually saves alot of nutes.. i think at least.. I can use 1L bottle of nutes/water in 2 or 3 days in veg and 1L in 1 or 2 days in flower.. It was just 12/12 from seed so I figured she didnt need much room for her roots.. She filled the cup up pretty nicely tho!
@Pizzarolls,
Thanks growmie! I told you! You gettin pumped got me pumped! I think she senses it and is pumped, too!! LMFAO! Man.. Don't flower too early whatever you do lol.. I wish I wouldnt have done 12/12 from seed with this one now.. I need to be patient and stop poppin more beans while I'm waiting on one to finish lol but yes.. This girl is queen of DANK in my book so far!
@DoDrugs420,
I like to refrigerate the water for the last 2 or 3 weeks.. And only water RIGHT before lights out.. Helps the colors come out even when its hot asf and cant get the temps down for shit.. Just giving cold water before lights out seems to do the trick too.. Kind of a hassle to rememebr ypu only have 15 mins to get it ready if you haven't already.. But other than that.. That's my go-to instead of putting a shitload of ice cubes on the medium and then have to worry about pH and runoff and whatnot.. Was alot easier since this was a cup grow too.. But yes she was some DANK!
@Ferenc,
Thanks gorwmie! This is my first time with ETHOS.. And will not be the last! I can't wait to grow one of these in a gallon fabric pot! Once I'm finished with my current grows I'm gonna do a 3 - 4 plant grow once I get my new tent and light setup.. This one will be 1 of the 3 or 4 plants for sure! Such amazing genetics!
@SommerVirelli,
Thanks growmie!.. Yeah, I know how important the airflow is.. And she is producing some dense nugs so she is gonna need some good airflow for sure.. Thanks again growmie! ๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐คค๐คค๐คค mmm she is gonna be so tasty!!! The smell is so incredibly insane!!!!
@SommerVirelli,
I have NEVER smelled cannabis like this!!! I can't imagine what other magical things she will do from now until harvest! Such a bad ass strain.. I've got to check out more ETHOS for sure!
@Pizzarolls,
Thanks Pizzarolls! Lol.. Damn, now I legit want some pizza rolls. I'm in love with this strain here.. First time with ETHOS.. and for sure will not be the last!
@SommerVirelli, I was thinking the same thing.. She's stretching now. I'm still probably not gonna start counting flowering weeks till next week tho mostly cuz I'd rather harvest a little later than too early.. I'm still trying to find my sweet spot when it comes to harvesting time frames lol. Thanks growmie!
Just coming back to this.. "Hey.. don't you wanna go down like some junkie cosmonaut?.. a million miles bellow their feet.. a million miles.. a million miles"... love that song... but it reminds me of my junkie days.. been clean almost 4 years thanks to cannabis ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฅ๐จ๐.. I let this cure for a really long time like 6 months if not a few longer.. and wow.. just as amazing as it was when she was first cured.. just an amazing strain all around.. taste.. high.. it made me a bit paranoid.. but I had just got back into cannabis.. wouldn't cause that for me these days.. it was still enjoyable af.. just an update while I jam to the song for a few rounds.. lol
