emeraldlabs Alright, continuing with the perpetual grow. Plan to start an ETHOS Genetics auto soon so I can shutdown for vacation in April. After that will continue running ETHOS (multipass) for a bit and mix in some in house genetics as well as dark horse. Will include all details once plant is transplanted and topped. Photos taken 7 days after breaking soil.

emeraldlabs Progressing nicely. Will transplant next week then top the week after. Will include all details once plant is transplanted and topped. Photos taken 14 days after breaking soil.

emeraldlabs Transplanted to 3 g fabric pot today (day 21). Will top next week. Will include all details once plant is transplanted and topped. Photos taken 21 days after breaking soil.

emeraldlabs Things are going well. Believe she will be topped tomorrow. Will include all details once plant has been topped. Photos taken 28 days after breaking soil.

emeraldlabs Progressing nicely. Topped on day 30. LST to shape her for flower tent. Plan to be pretty aggressive with the LST, first time I’ve bent the main stem. Video/photos taken 35 days after breaking soil.

emeraldlabs LST is going well. Minor defoliation to remove growth on underside of plant. This will be last full week of veg. Planet of the grapes auto sprout hanging out in back. Video/photos taken 42 days after breaking soil.

emeraldlabs Shaping up nicely with LST. Minor defoliation to remove unwanted growth sites. Down to 7 main colas, let’s get them fat. She will wake up in flower tent tomorrow. Check out my planet of the grapes auto diary for sprout in back of tent. Video/photos taken 49 days after breaking soil.

emeraldlabs First week of flower went smoothly. Some stretch the first week but nothing crazy. She was thirsty this morning and watered a few hours before video/photos, hence the droopy bottom leaves. First feeding occurred this week. Will increase feeding concentrations if major stretching occurs and switch out grow big for tiger bloom as flowering progresses. Will lower light a few inches this week and see how she responds. Will slowly decrease humidity during flower to increase vpd. Lastly, will start to defoliate as we move through flower. Video/photos taken 56 days after breaking soil, day 7 of flower.

emeraldlabs The stretch continues; hoping for another week of it. Been lightly defoliating from bottom up, lollipopping, and will continue to do so. Will increase nute concentrations next feeding; runoff is getting a bit low. Video/photos taken 63 days after breaking soil, day 14 of flower.

emeraldlabs The stretch is over. The defoliation continues. Went ahead and got a bamboo post in place for support. Next watering will begin anchoring the colas to it. Overall, becoming obsessed with this plant; she STINKS! Increased nute concentrations last feeding with no issue. After the next watering (calmag only), there was some minor clawing which has resolved on it’s own. Going forward, will cease feeding veg nutes and will switch to flower nutes; at a low concentration. Video/photos taken 70 days after breaking soil, day 21 of flower.

emeraldlabs Nothing much to report. Slowly getting each cola anchored to the bamboo post. Previously used plant yo-yos but they get to be a pain, especially at harvest. With the stretch over, I’m just waiting on her to fatten up. Slowly lowering humidity to increase vpd. Mentioned last update that she stinks. Is there a bowl of fruit punch in the tent or is that a plant? Clawing issues have disappeared. Feeding lightly, now with tiger bloom in the mix. Video/photos taken 77 days after breaking soil, day 28 of flower.

emeraldlabs Ah, this diary is being slept on! She’s developing nicely. Still slowly lowering humidity to increase vpd. Started decreasing night temps, curious to see if we can pull any purple out from its purple punch lineage. A yellow leaf and a few others beginning to fade; increased nutes to see if we can keep her happy. Video/photos taken 84 days after breaking soil, day 35 of flower.

emeraldlabs Chugging along. This girl has shown signs of being a lil hungry, so I increased feeding again this week; my limited experience with Ethos has taught me to feed heavy with them in future runs. Since she has been so hungry, and since I enjoy experimenting with my grows, this will be the first where I don’t flush. Hell, I may even try the 48 hours of darkness! Had to touch her yesterday to add an anchor to the post, my hand smelled SO strong of fruit punch 20+ mins later. Beyond anxious to have a sample of this girl when cured. Looking forward to dropping those night temps even more and seeing if we can pull the purple out. Video/photos taken 91 days after breaking soil, day 42 of flower.

emeraldlabs Bulking. Thought she was an 8-9 wk strain, turns out she is 9-10. She is gonna be heavy. Finally dropping temps below 60. Come on purple! Video/photos taken 98 days after breaking soil, day 49 of flower.

emeraldlabs Just obsessed with this plant. The bulk is real; she is getting heavy. Looks amazing, smells amazing, what else can I ask for? Two more weeks! Video/photos taken 105 days after breaking soil, day 56 of flower.

emeraldlabs The final stretch. She MAY be foxtailing a bit, but she’s a 9-10 weeker (more typical?), pretty even throughout plant (so likely genetic?), and I plan to harvest in max 1 week so we will ride it out. Video/photos taken 112 days after breaking soil, day 63 of flower. UPDATE: Chopped on 3/21, day 69 of flower

emeraldlabs No issues throughout life cycle. Harvest a little on the small side, but tends to happen with some exotics.
