Well, the last Ethos testers I tried were mostly trash. These turned out okay. Buds are a bit too fluffy. We'll see how they turn out after drying. Smell like normal weed which is fine. I don't give two shits about exotic smell. I only care about how it tastes when I smoke it. Update - These did not fill in well. I've had nothing but bad luck with the free 'tester' seeds that come with Ethos purchases. Ethos has turned out to be quite hit or miss, despite the reputation. Glad I've grown some, but others have some meh traits. They have a gas/diesel aroma, but just way too fluffy with excess leaves. Thankfully, only 2 of the plants in this cycle.

Wow, these were 2 monster plants given the less than 4 ft sq space alotted and less than 40 days of vege. They smell great and gave a ton of scissor hash. Pretty easy trim, and could have been easier with a little more maintenance. Even the lower nugs on primary branches are nice and dense. Only the first of two plants are pictured.

All of these are looking great. Chopped the first one down on 59th day of flower (pictured). These have a wide range of flower time. One looks like it'll be ~70 days or more. They all look like good yielders, but I did attempt to throw out weak plants in vege. Think I have 4 of these in total, so only one was culled. This has a nice smell, but we'll have to see what evolves after dry/cure. As far as I can tell right now, these are nice buds that were easy to trim. This plant filled up a 36" mesh rack, so it pulled its weight. These stretched a bit, but I think that was from me being too aggressive pruning off unnecessary growth tips a bit too soon, so it went searching for light. Certainly didn't impact yield. The nugs are tight and well-formed deep into the canopy. Are they worth 15/seed? Absolutely not, but too many retards are willing to piss their money away, so this is what we get. All plants are easy to grow, so I just put it as normal. Problems growing different strains is more about esoteric nutrient formulas that are less than optimal and don't work with a wide range of plants. No idea how someone could evaluate whether a plant is resistant or not. I didn't have any pathogens or issues, so ... maybe? Edit - took this down to an 8/10. Buds could have formed better and inconsistent across the 4 phenos. This is my fault for buying an "R1"

Same as before.. Though for the first time the BBGS plants were not the best of the crop. Nugs are solid, but 2 of them were on the small side of yield. One is very small. This one finished in 52 days. The weak growth at the bottom needed a bit longer, but the well-formed buds along the branches i cared about were all 10-15% amber. Super easy trim. Despite feeding 1/2 strength for a bit now, these leaves are clearly too lush, but the plant smells good and well-formed otherwise. More BBGS plants need to be harvested - this is just the first. If i can't update this week or add another, oh well, fuck if I care, lol. This first one is the 2nd weakest of the bunch.

All done for 2023-2024.
