Flowered for 64 days before harvest. Hang dried for 8-10 days before trimming.

These flowered for 64 days before harvest and were hang dried at 60F/55% rh for 8-10 days before trimming.

Banana Daddy is Grand Daddy Purple x Banana Hammock. An Indica dominant hybrid with incredible tropical terpenes. Some plants stay pretty compact, while others are absolute beasts. For me, #4 was the shorter pheno with smaller flowers but VERY heavy frost. #5 was HUGE. Buds APPEARED massive, but after drying, are not dense at all. Flower structure is more of what you'd expect from a sativa. Both smell amazing.

10th Planet is a cross between Planet of the Grapes and Quattro Kush (Pluto cut). An indica dominant hybrid with incredible aromas of grapes, spice and gas. She grows to a medium height with strong secondary branching, making it a perfect candidate for topping and LST.

King's Tart is LA Kush Cake x Bubba Slush. An 80/20 indica/sativa hybrid that grows to a medium height with plenty of secondary branching. Expect dense flowers dripping in resin and an exquisite terpene profile of cake and lemon with earthy, woody notes. Aromas include, but not limited to, lemon, caramel, skunk and cat piss.

The clear winner of the 5 ETHOS strains grown here. Although she was problematic throughout the veg period, she redeemed herself in the end. Dense and frosty flowers oozing terps. Gives off a creamy, gassy, peanut butter aroma. BIG nutty cake terps with a lemon finish. It's pretty strong smoke but its smooth on the inhale. Take too much and your lungs will let you know to cool it. I generally get halfway through a joint before I'm finding myself putting her out for later. ETHOS does it again. Another boutique quality strain that will not disappoint. Friends have almost unanimously chosen this as the strongest, with Early Lemon Berry a close second.

This Mandarin Cookies is hands down the most dense flower I've grown. STONES. A small bud breaks out into a shocking amount. Can't use my grinder because of the density and resin. I've been using scissors and have had to scrape the hash off the blades after a few snips or it won't cut. The high is relaxing but sedating. I could've harvested at 50 days but I let her go 63 days with the rest of the gang. The aromas are a bit weird though. You definitely get a bit of orange on the nose, but there's also a strange, almost meat-like smell to it. It isn't horrible, but it isn't my favorite either. Once you chop it up the meat smell goes away in favor of a citronella funk, which is actually pretty nice. I can't really put a finger on the tastes. There is some orange to it but more of an aftertaste. I'll select 3 off their list that are kinda close to what I taste. It's different. If I was re-rating it I would give it 8/10 only because I like the 9's I've rated better than this one. Splitting hairs at this point.

Easy growing plant suitable for any grower. She can take high levels of fertilizer and needs little support due to the strong lateral branching. Topping and LST is recommended to make this plant grow wide and bushy. Good yield and quality flower produced by some old school genetics.

Super compact plant with very tight internodal spacing. Grew very similar to Ethos Banana Daddy. Not much stretch out of her and that negatively affected the yield. She did produce some nice purple hues and delicious terpene profile on her dense, chunky flowers. Dessert smoke for me.

Aromas of grapefruit, berries and gas from trichome coated, dense flowers. The flavor is citrus forward with fuel on the back end. Not too much in terms of berry terps, more on the nose. Some of the most breathtaking flower I've grown, tremendous bag appeal. Pretty good yielding plant that grows relatively easily. My tolerance is high so I'd smoke just about anything at any time but I would call it night time smoke. It's VERY stoney. Definitely feel it behind the eyes. You get a trace of a resin ring near the heater when you burn it. Nice clean ash and smooth smoke. It's a solid choice for growers looking for a fast finishing (50-56 days) strain that packs a punch.

What I got was great. Funky Kush type flavors with a sherbety terpene profile, very pungent gassy nose. Pretty powerful, night time stuff for sure.

Getting mixed effects out of what I've smoked so far. Starts out very uplifting and energetic, but not racy. Quickly started getting dumb, dropping shit, forgetting what I was doing in a room...might just be getting old. A relaxed state set in and I was out cold for a nice night sleep. These might be described as classic hybrid effects but I was expecting it to lean towards the indica side. Considering it's a 80/20, plus the 73 day flowering time, I didn't expect much in the way of sativa feels. Could just need to cure. I'd probably call it a night time stash for less experienced smokers. The smell is VERY pungent. Note to self: need a new carbon scrubber. It's super spicy and slightly gassy on the nose. The taste is very unique. It's got the dessert profile you'd expect from the Wedding Cake lineage but it's got an extra nutty, spicy element to it. I'm definitely not the best at describing flavors and usually need someone to say a taste and then I get it type of thing.

Flower has been trimmed and jarred up for curing. Dried a lot faster than I expected. The low humidity during bloom and the brief spike of high temps certainly sped things up. Will update after cured at least 2 weeks. Easily the frostiest flower I've grown yet and insanely terpy. Mouth watering stash incoming! Dried weight: 244 grams flower 90 grams sugar leaf

Hermed

French Macaron grew exactly as the last run. Vigorous lateral growth, responded very well to topping and LST, minimal stretch in bloom and THICK colas. Will update the smoke report in a month or so. It already smells gassier than last time and a lot more frost. Pretty excited to get a taste of it.

Heavy smoke, tickles the lungs. Loud blueberry and grape terps with gas on the back end. Smells like blueberry muffins in the jar. Tastes like it's rolled in a flavoured paper.

Smells of cookies and skunk primarily with a slight lemon on the back end. This is just flat out anytime smoke. Not weak, not overly strong. The purple pheno was stronger but less dense and yielded less. The pheno I cloned is currently in week 9 bloom and look MUCH different. Stronger purple colour, more trichomes and very, VERY chunky flowers. Dried weights: FM1 - 114.4 g FM2 - 132.8 g Happy with the yields, as they're similar to my last run, but with half the substrate (5 gal vs 10)

Hard to put a finger on the exact flavors at this point, still a few weeks out. Smokes nice, very pungent and fruity after 2 week cure

Uplifting with a nice body effect, Bubba '76 is nice daytime smoke. Tastes and smells of lemon and pine and is very resinous. Gloves, two pairs of scissors and isopropyl alcohol were key for trimming.
