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!...

We're now at week 10 and about a week or so left until I decide to chop this bush down and begin drying and curing. I haven't really been doing much this week besides trimming one or two leaves off, the week prior I have removed only 4 during the whole week and the plant in whole has still been developing rapidly. This is supposedly the last week from the breeders description that the plant should be mature enough but with the transplant in the beginning stunting it for a week has probably been enough reason why growth was unstable during the whole time, I sort of felt it as well when it started flowering at such a small size. I've learn my mistake have redeemed myself with the care i gave it after the stunting. The lower bud sites are still deep green as if they haven't received enough light and I tried to fix that by lowering the light but the taller colas were getting too close (at least 5-8" close) so I decided to leave it at around 10-13" away so I don't disrupt the growing environment too much. I don't want to open the tent too much too now that it stinks up my small room in seconds and sometimes creeps through the doors out to the other rooms and outside the house if my window is open so I'll be looking into the tent when i need to water, fix something with the irrigation system, fix the height of the light, or get ready to harvest. I don't think I will be defoliating anymore since all bud sites are exposed to an extent and I just overall don't want to bother her and watch her naturally do the rest. I will be giving it another week or so to catch up making it around 75-80 days in total. I will be flushing it by now since i've looked at the trichomes on the most and least developed to find that it's starting to amber already with about a quarter turning white so purging the nutes now will be essential towards the end, i'm pretty excited and hope you guys are too.

Sorry for the poor quality photos this week. I will update it at some point when I can get some photos in the dark with the flash on. With the tent being so packed and the plants under a net it's very difficult to get any quality pictures. Powering on and fattening up. They've had roughly 30 flowering days and I'm expecting mabey 20 more. Some of the biggest buds have foxtailed but I'm not too upset. They are so huge and I'm only expecting them to get thicker from here on out. Updated photos with an A4 sheet of paper behind them to try and show how wide the buds are on these girls. They are a bit airy at the moment compared to the Pinapple Express next door but with 2-3 weeks left I'm expecting them to bulk out.

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!

CBD Caramel is still doing stellar and is at the top of the class as far as height. Still getting a little bug damage tho, so I sprayed with neem oil, again. Going to water in some Big Bloom and Molasses later. Really good week.

it's amazing, this growth looks much better than my first attempt, my decision was to put a smaller pot and change the light - the girl really liked it, FastBuds goriilla cookies with a small space manage perfectly:).

plants are looking great, nice and thick and growing well. Smells are increasing and so is bud density. Giving them water and the occasional top dressing, They should be fine till harvest now. Added in some bokashi grains to the medium to help unlock even more potential for the plants and nutrient uptake. If that's how it works, more a less kitchen sink mentality and does not seem to hurt. Going to be hard to check the trichomes on this plant as it is so dark but will need to keep and eye on it in the next few weeks and it will be getting close to its estimated 13w harvest date. I made a little tea out of some of the flower the spider mites/thrips where not touching. in hopes some of the extract will stay on the plant and prevent them from eating it, I honestly can't tell if it did a thing, I like to think it did something but doubtful. Also got my hands on a bunch of predator mites. There where a bit past the BB date so hopefully they will still be active/alive. Side note uploading videos into the diaries is great and all, but takes to long to resize and process, can't hit save till its all done... no idea what its doing in the backend.

Such an amazing smell of this lady and its only going to get better. Nice stacking going on and the colas appear fatter than the other strains in the tent. Nice and frosty too. She got little to no training, instead she was topped twice. The smell though! Droool!

The autos are all doing pretty good, some minor deficiencies from early on but seem to be doing much better now since I got the new bottle of calmag. They probly have another 3 weeks left I'm guessing they are fattening up nicely tho.

Just been feeding letting them do their thing. Trichomes are still transparent but I'm sure they will start to turn cloudy soon.
