Don't mind the additional plants, they'll be joining along but won't be a focus in this journal. By this point, all of the plants are really upping their drinking frequency. I can tell by next week, I'll be watering every day. Seriously loving this pairing of nutrients together.
A huge note to make though, is little pistils are popping up everywhere now! It'll be two weeks - max - before we are in flower! The health of all of these girls really makes the transition, that much more exciting! Got 4 really similar plants and 2 uniques to fill in the gap. My headcanon is treating all of these Ethos plants as rare items - like in a videogame 😂. Given how expensive these genetics are, it's kind of true lmao.
One relevant footnote I wanted to make was that the Banana Dad Photo seems to have far thicker fan leaves than the autoflower counterparts at this stage. You can see it quite prevalently in the overview photo for the week. Tucking the autos has been very painless, and an emergency defol.(to get light where it needs to be) doesn't seem to bring any drawbacks. The photo seems to be recovering still from removing one of the main fan leaves about a week ago. Visually, she seems a bit behind the Banana Dad auto I refer to as BR, just with larger fan leaves.
Either way, I'm sure they'll stretch a decent amount within the next two weeks. I also raised the light up a bit more, to hopefully encourage just a bit more vertical growth during the trans. stretch.
Day 44 from seed update: All of the girls look great! As a matter of fact, there are actual buds now! And it may be hard to see, but there's a slight blue-ish hue appearing on the older fan leaves - A similar thing happened to my Early Lemon Berry just before she went completely purple/magenta. I'm also welcomed to a sweet grape scent now every time I open the tent, really pleasant. Things are going quite smooth during transition, within the next two weeks, I'll be removing XSD from the schedule(recommended according to Labmor). Then it will just be BSM and Liquid Seaweed until it's time to give em' the chop!
Cheers all! Excited for what's to come. Stay safe & blessed!😄😷🙌
@@Waylate, I'm very happy with the end result :) But I'm actually most looking forward to harvesting the photo version. It's got a bud the size of a nerf football 😳
Lmao, I guess I was reading the flowering time incorrectly. It's actually 70-80 days from GERM... I was assuming the flowering time referred to the first pistils being released, and then counting from there. Welp, ya live and ya learn. Harvest begins! It's going to be a low-yield per plant, but overall should equate to exactly the amount I need to keep me going through the outdoor season. The commenter that answered my question about yield was right on the money. If I hadn't done 12/12 from seed, the yield would be much more significant. But I did this as a learning experience in the first place. Somewhere down the line, I would like to give this strain a proper grow, 1 plant in a 3x6 @ 18hrs the whole session. Then I'll REALLY see how she performs. For now, I'm happy with a quick little tester batch. Next update won't be for two weeks - when It's dried and begun curing. So that I may give an adequate smoke report hopefully.
Cheers everyone! This has been a really great grow as far as learning goes. Hope you all harvest some dankness. :) 🙏
Oh wow, they finally added the Autoflower variety to the catalogue here on GrowDiaries. I updated the strain info of this diary to represent this change.
