Beginning of week..
Fucking springtails.. Damn these things are annoying.. How come I NEVER hear anything about these things?? This is my 3rd grow to have them?? It crazy cuz my other plants in thebsame tent dont have them.. But I'm sure its just a matter of time.. Just like this one.. They just popped up outta no where as far as I can tell.. As for the girlie.. She's doing perfect! Thankfully, these springtails dont do anything to harm the plant.. Well.. As far as I can tell lol.. They just swim around in my runoff all day.. Bastards.. Anyways.. Another week began.. She is getting so thick and so smelly. I fucking love it!..
Later that day..
I'm not even sure how there could be so many springtails in this cup! It must be crazy filled.. I dont even wanna look. Im throwing this infested coco away after all of these are finished. Ive reused coco in the past with no issues.. Well.. Maybe the fabric pot was keeping them inside the whole time. Lol.. Well shit.. I figured coco was the best way to go and there wouldnt be any pests.. But they havent hurt any plants so far.. Gonna scrub the tent super good probably twice and retire it for a while as well.. My 2x4 should be coming in aaaany day now. This Optic SLIM 320H is a BEAST! Lol.. But other than the springtails.. And just a tad bit of yellowing on the lowest fan leaves.. She's doing great... Gonna start leaving my nighttime water for her in the refrigerator.. Maybe next week.. Maybe the week after that.. It helped the colors come out on my last grow.. And this should be one pretty colored lady! Maybe ill wait till the buds have stopped growing but before they begin to swell.. I think that's how I timed it last time.. Not gonna flush too early this time either lol.. Stupid move! Flushed for like 5 weeks! Not really meaning to.. But it happened. Lol not this lady..
Almost mid week..
She is so frosty.. So smelly.. She is getting thick quick.. I love what she is doing! Such a magical strain! I've got to see what other ETHOS strains are about! Her beauty is incredible! I got 2 others.. Memberberry (AlphaFem) and Purple Roze (M/F).. I am for sure going to be growing them soon along with this one again! This is next level dankness to the max!
Almost end of week..
Wow.. Just... Wow.. Idk what to even say anymore.. I found 1 single purple calyx.. Lol.. Thats right.. Just 1... I'm gonna start using the cold water/nutes now.. Probably a little early.. But it shouldnt hurt her, hopefully.. The lower leaves are yellowing.. And actually if I could get a good enought pic.. There is some slight red on the yellowing leaves.. I want mine to look like the pic from ETHOS website lol.. That is fucking gorgeous!.. But damn she is stacking so quickly! And frosting on top of frosting! Such a gorgeous fucking strain. I love it! I see why ETHOS is so expensive now.. And I am willing to pay for more lol..
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 won’t 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! 🌱🌿🌲💥🔥🤤🤤🤤 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 🌱🌲🌺🔥💨👌.. 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
