Beginning of week...
Ok so I wasnt able to begin the flush like I normally do.. I like to flush the shit out of the medium.. Bringing the runoff PPM down as much as possible on the first day of flushing.. But I didn't have time for that today.. Maybe in the PM I will.. But I just watered it as I normally would.. Runoff PPMs already dropped to about 600 PPM. Also I am going to keep ALL the flushing water in the refrigerator till use (AM and PM).The colors have already popped out so much just overnight! 2 weeks of this and she should look like ETHOS webisite pics!... Hopefully!!!.. She is gonna be so dank! Nothing but COLD pH'd water till harvest (2 weeks)!!!
Mid week..
So I can only get the runoff down to about 400 PPM.. 420 PPM to be exact lol.. Interesting.. But yeah.. Colors are coming in nicely.. Besides the foxtailing and her small size.. This is an epic girl! I can't wait to taste her!.. Just been flushing with 1/3 Liter of pH'd to 6.0 - 6.2 40ยฐF water once in the AM and once in the PM.. Smooth sailin from here!
End of week..
WOW 777 views.. Its my lucky day! Lol.. Nah she is doing great.. Nugs are fat asf.. Stinky asf.. Her leaves are colorful asf.. Only the foxtailing I dont like.. Its damnnear a whole fox! Lol but meh.. I cant wait till winter.. #NoHeaterClub lol my future plants should love that shit. The runoff PPM is down to about 300 now.. Thats usually the best I can do with flushing.. Not much fading.. But I still got 1 more week.. May even push her 1 extra week.. Idk yet.. Havent checked the trichomes in a while.. But will tomo aka beginning of next week. So delicious smelling!.. On to the next...
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
