Beginning of week..
Forgot to update end of last week.. but here she is!... So this week she should still be stretching and (hopefully) the slowdown should be the following week.. she is doing good.. water, feed, water, feed, etc. But not daily.. I do water, feed, skip, water, feed, skip, etc. I do that so the day after feeding 1 gal., she gets a day to dry out. Then I water 1.25 gal. to help rinse salts and build-up.. then feed the next day again.. so she isnt left too long without a feeding.. but I'm sure things would be fine if I watered/fed daily.. just a bit of a hassle for me now.. collecting rainwater and cutting it with 25% crappy tap water works great.. but a hassle lol.. she is happy and so am I! You can see in the pics that the stiples are turning purple are red.. just the stiples.. not the leaves.. not the pistils.. also noticed that on my last run with ETHOS Cookies and Mandarin Cookies.. pretty.. hopefully she will be very colorful!
Almost mid week..
Wow.. literally no trichomes yesterday but this morning they are damn near on every bud site! Wow.. rubbing trichomes and sniffing gives me such joy and a hint of what to expect at harvest.. very sweet so far.. yessss! So excited!
Mid week...
Stretching quite a bit but she shouldn't get too much out of control. Running the WAKYME J-2000 at roughly 60% power and 12" - 14" above the canopy. She is receiving 1000 micromols at the center and about 550/600 micromols around the edges and corners are getting about 500 - 550 micromols.. entire plant is getting GREAT PAR! She is stretching so much that every 2 - 3 days, I need raise the light quite a bit.. I'd say she is stretching about 4 - 6 inches every 2 - 3 days. Fucking incredible, in my opinion. rubbing the trichomes.. aw man.. rubbing those GORGEOUS trichomes and getting a wiff of what she should be producing in the very near future is just mind blowing how complex and strong ETHOS terpenes are (at least the 3 that I have grown out). I couldn't be any happier with this strain.. or any ETHOS strain! ETHOS Genetics is easily in the top 5 of cannabis breeders, if not number 1.. I've got the OG Kush Autoflower waiting to be germinated soon.. can't wait to see what that girl can do, as well. It will be my first autoflower from ETHOS.. pics of her look EPIC AS FUCK!.. Anyways.. I'm just abusing my keyboard right now thanks to some Mandarin Cookies from ETHOS genetics.. super complex terpenes as well..
Mid week..
She got herself a good feeding today. The runoff pH has been coming out about .3 - .4 higher than going in.. the watering before today I went ahead and watered at 5.8.. runoff came out at 6.3.. perfecto! Today, went in at 6.2 and runoff came out 6.2... dos perfectos! Aye! So far, this girl is not disappointing at all! So much trochomes production just in the last 24 - 48 hours! Smells so freaking amazing!.. should be pretty fruity! I can't wait!!!
End of week..
I've been kinda tweaking the nutes a bit.. I can see all the nute burn (trying to avoid overfeeding) but still trying to transition from grow to bloom.. actually, I thinkI can go to full on bloom now. She isnt stretching as much anymore. She had slowed quite a bit.. but perfectly lol.. so yeah.. gonna stop feeding grow nutes at this point.. and also cut out the MYCO+ because its only used in veg and transition. I'm going to add in some FloraNectar to make up for the molasses that was in the MYCO+.. no bloom boosters.. at least right now. Runoff is coming out perfectly.. sometimes it may drift to 6.5 but it has never gone out of range (6.5+).. if it stays at 6.5 for too long I end up watering/feeding at 5.8 at couple times and its back down to 6.1 or 6.2.. other than that.. no issues! On to the next week!...

This week has been wild. I had to cut the sides of the greenhouse as the plants had it bursting at the seams. These girls are all flowering beautifully and starting to frost up. Happy Growing.

Another one down two more to go this is absolutely been one of the funniest grows I’ve ever had Thank you so much fastbuds 420 for letting me be a sponsor grower Tropic cookies was one that really stood out to me 130 inches tall and almost 2 1/2 ounces of bud deep red purple buds covered in frost I mean frostier than Frosty the Snowman catches your eye. I have never grown purple buds before and I can’t wait to do it again thank you so so much fastbuds 420

Hi Guys!
All good with this lady, just one thing, is fucking cold outside, so inside my tent is 20 degrees, maybe this is the reason the leaves are a little bit sad! hahaha
That's it, not much to say this week.
See you around!
Love!

My Lit Marker plant is really taking off! It's growing so fast, and the leaves are getting bigger every day. They have this cool, pointy shape that reminds me a lot of the Black Valentine plant. It's exciting to see how quickly it's developing, and I can't wait to watch it grow even more. Stay tuned for more updates on this beauty!
The weather has been absolutely gorgeous this past week! We've been hitting that sweet spot of 70 degrees during the day, perfect for getting outside and soaking up some sun. Then, it cools down to a comfy 50 degrees at night, which is ideal for sleeping with the windows open. I've been loving all the fresh air!
I finally got around to building that little wooden planter for my windowsill. It was a fun project, and now my regular plants have a nice new home. It really brightens up the room, and I'm thinking of adding some herbs to it soon. Maybe I'll even try growing some basil!

3.2.2024: Start of week 7 from seed. Fed 1/4 fox farm trio nutes plus calmag. 64oz at 6.5ph. There's some clear nute burn on the leaf tips but she's doing well. Main cola is stacking nicely. Few random orange hairs here and there.
3.3.2024: Day 44 from seed. Steady as she goes. No change to current state.
3.4.2024: Watered 64oz at 6.5ph. Chugging along.
3.5.2024: Day 46. Buds are forming nicely. Clipped 8 fan leaves blocking bud sites.
3.6.2024: Day 47. Fed again at 1/4 strength probably around 3/4 gal at 6.5ph. Runoff is 6.49 at 1100ppm.
3.7.2024: Day 48. Nothing doing today. Main cola is stacking nicely, outer branches have some good but smaller buds. Long way to go but no idea how these will fatten up.
3.8.2024: Day 49, end of week 7 from seed. Watered 96oz at 6.38ph. Runoff ppm at 1050 with ph at 6.7. She appears to being doing great. Super stoked to see the bud development over the past week.

DAY 35 Flowering: A good week for bud growth this week and plenty of light to reach all those tucked away bud sets too. The room looks so full now with the monster sized Strawberry Pie dominating the canopy and pushing the height limits. All of the buds on these two girls , including the secondaries, are a good size with so much vigerous pistil growth going on now that they look like their own plants. These girls need a lot of room to benefit from their natural size proportions and this was AFTER I used tip spreading to keep them lower !!!. Not sure the plant took me serious now !!. Lol I could not be more impressed with these at this point and I can see 2 potential auto personal bests forming....
The Six Shooter #1 is a nice sized lady too. Inhave had to do a little bending and rescuing on a couple of branches as they were too far out of light and also blocking other growth but she looks good on node spacing too so should have some nicely stacked colas at harvest time. Her sister #2 is half her size but has a lot of side growth to compensate thankfully. Being so low down compared to the other 5 plants has thankfully not been too much if an issue thanks to the FC3000 being so penetrative. Even the buds at the very back of the grow ate getting ample light to really bang the weight on from feeding and converting. Both of the six shooter are starting to colour up with orange hairs now and it does look like they could be the 1st to finish at this point.
Mexican Airline are developing steadily. The #1 is rmteying toncatch upnwith bud production now but her long node lengths suggest she will be more clumps of flowers than stacks , her yield will no doubt be far lower than her sisters due to her slow start and progress but she still looks like she could pull through with some decent nugs. #2 has a lot shorter nodes and should look a little more spikes hopefully. They are showing one or two amber hairs now at just past the halfway point so we are doing ok. Lol
All in all , I am loving this run of plants and the light has performed so well considering the canopy difference. Until next time. Be well Growmies.

increasing nutrient doses, monitoring EC and pH doesn't bear fruit, I think. Training also takes its toll and the girls flourish.
We will continue to feed and observe...
Second half of week brings quite intensive growth. Continue with LST, because need light penetration and some leaves out with same purpose.
What does next days bring? I am exciting...

Outdoor coco 15g pots
Progress:
Lava cake is about week 6.5. Starting to ripen and get heavy. Buds are getting fat. Strong sweet cookie/ ice cream smell. Buds are getting more frosty. Buds are getting so heavy I installed a net on 3 of 4 and doing #4 soon. On my most mature plant - About 25-30% of pistils have turned color. Some trichomes are milky, none amber. Looks like plants are a few days apart.
Marathon OG week 5 1/2. Still stacking and getting fat. Smells dank. Trichomes are showing up. The 20 gallon OG is growing into a monster. I’m still waiting for the heavy bud stacks….
Nutes:
Bumping up ppm, the dry koolbloom and molasses, stopping regular koolbloom and grow. Looking to starting flushing the lava cake in a week or so. Feeding 2x a day; 3x on hot days.
Weather:
Had a good week of cooler temps until yesterday, when it was 97. Looking at hugs in the 80s this week, perfect.
Pests:
The moths and caterpillars are in full swing so I’m applying BT every morning. I’m working hard to reduce caterpillar 🐛 losses. We lost all of the top colas on a plant in another location 💔 . I’m only losing one bud at a time and not the entire colas so far.
Wishing fat buds and monster harvests to all.

So the hubby has been growing this strain (in soil) for approx 9 weeks.
It took some wearing him down but eventually after many batches of freshly baked cookies I finally convinced him to cut me a clone, and an apex clone at that. #truelove
It took about 3 weeks to root (unintentionally caused a lock out by attempting to grow roots in the same water/nutrient mix we were giving the 5 wk plant) #lessonlearned
She’s since recovered and has grown a beautiful root system.
Let’s see where we end up

These videos are from yesterday and we’re on day 5 of flower. Been MIA trying get this girls back to being healthy. I think they’re pretty healthy these days for sure. I did a bud leaf strip yesterday and some super cropping as well. This strain takes 8 weeks to flower completely. Looking forward to seeing how they turn out! ✌️🏾

I'm now on vacation for 2 weeks so all photos will be from my security camera. From what I can tell my new clones are greening up and putting out some new growth. My blumats had a runaway on day 3... luckily my neighbor was around and was able to slow the drip rate down on my one plant which was starting to flood my box. It has now stopped dripping and my hope is there will be no more hiccups..I will be watching closely over my vacation. 😅🙏

Harvest for top buds which are already done ❤️ smell is strong sour/fruit/sweet. The rest of the plants i will leave in tent to be ready for harvest in few days...
I will leave sugar leaves on for few days and then do the trimm work. Buds are rock hard and covered with trichomes!
