Beginning of week..
So I went ahead and did a late defoliation.. humidity is sitting too high in the tent.. its been around 50 - 55 % RH but it does sometimes get up to 60% RH.. removing some of these leaves should help lower the RH AND lower the chances of getting mold.. these are gonna be some fat colas.. and those are the ones mold can creep up on.. doing my best.. dehumidifier just cant keep up.. but I also dont run it inside the tent due to the heat that thing and it's transformer give off when it runs for over 24 hours or so.. but she shouldn't mold.. I've got 3 fans inside just moving air.. but of course, sometimes that isn't enough.. but we will see how this goes.. may even add another fan.. keep it on the floor of the tent an point it up.. we shall see! But damn she smells so amazing.. i can smell alot of similarities from the Mandarin Cookies in here.. which also has Mandarin Sunset as a mother.. just as this one does.. but you can smell the skunk along with it.. but not as powerful as the citrus.. aw man the citrus.. love that shit.. I even chewed on a trichome covered fan leaf.. very delicious! So glad I have 9 more of this strain and a few others from ETHOS.. next run may be some Aura Genetix.. I've gotta see what fast versions are all about.. I bougt some of the Peach Bellini.. should be pretty epic.. keep an eye out for that diary after this one!
Mid week..
Lower branches are getting plenty of light after the defoliation. The smell is getting intense. My carbon filter has began to smell like shit lol. Not literally.. but it stinks.. maybe like rotten skunk or something.. I've ordered a new one but I took that smelly one off for now.. so the whole block smells like member berries right now till the new filter comes in.. tomorrow. I couldn't figure out what the smell was untill i accidentally got my face into the exhaust fan wind.. smelled like rotten skunky shit.. lol. I guess I forgot things need to be changed out every so often.. just figured "air" running thru it wouldn't make it crap out so fast. Been maybe 8 - 12 months.. something like that. Never used one before this.. but running some ETHOS, it is a must! So citrusy! Purples are slowly coming in. She really reminds me of the Mandarin Cookies I grew.. but I also think the Mandarin Cookies was heavier on the Mandarin Sunset phenotype side.. and this one is pretty similar. Scent, growth, stretch.. but I know I cant say for sure that's what it is.. this is just what I believe is going on. But wow.. such a beautiful plant.. I've had to run a a few twist ties to other branches in order to keep them from flopping over, leaning on eachother and the sides of the tent.. should have scrogged I guess lol.. live and learn tho.. but so far its not too bad.. but this early on shows me what I might have to be dealing with in the next couple of weeks cuz they are beginning to get STACKED! I've said it before, and I'll say it again... ETHOS for the win π
Later that day...
Wow.. going back in again and now she smells just like the Early Lemon Berry! Wth! How is that even possible?! She is doing amazing things! Some calyxes are beginning to turn purple. Some of the top leaves are as well. Tried to get some decent pics of it.. but I guess I cant figure the new phone out.. as you can see, some pics are a little blurry. And sometims the capture is delayed behind the flash and I still get a dark pic as if it didnt even flash.. but whatever.. I can't wait to see what she has to offer! Such a gorgeous girlie! So happy and excited for this one!
End of week..
Nothing left to do now but feed/water for about 1 more week and she will be ready for the 2 week flush!.. I normally like to just water as normal (without nutes, duh) for the entire 2 weeks and still keep checking runoff.. maybe FloraKleen once a week and then just water till harvest! So far, I am starting to see some milky! Still mostly clear, but that means she is getting closer! So excited! This girl really smells just like the Early Lemon Berry I grew! But still with a bit of sweetness to it too! Aw man I can't wait! Anyways... on to the next week!...

Harvest update on flowering day 75
since the time change to 12/12 hrs.
Hey everyone βΊοΈπ.
Today there is a short update of the harvest before the last update after the fermentation comes ππ.
Both phenotypes were very easy to cut due to their very good bud to leaf ratio βΊοΈ.
I already like both phenotypes in terms of smell, although I have to say that Phenotype 1 smells much better and fruity π.
Was trimmed clean by hand with disinfected scissors :-).
Before harvest, both plants were given complete darkness for 48 hours.
The trichomes are 70% milky and 30% amber π.
You can now dry for 7-12 days on the net at 62% humidity.
Then it goes for another 12-17 weeks in the glasses with 62% boveda packs which are then changed to 58% boveda packs :-).
Until then and for the final harvest update, I wish you all a lot of fun.
Stay healthy and let it grow ππ

Day 56
I did a flush at the end of the week with double the cal mag and Epsom. Hopefully I can get this leaf condition turned around. I think flushing will help as the runoff was on the higher side, the main stem is purpling and leaves showing signs of cal mag deficiency. Hopefully I can get this under control before it all goes to shit.
Iβm just on cruise control, hoping to make it to the end haha.
Happy Growing π±

Welcome to week 3 of flower for these fine ladies! As the stretching period comes to and end in about a week or so I'm excited to see the plant's develop their flowers. Some of the plants have already developed quited the frost for their age and as the cycle continues its just going to get more pronounced. Some of the plants are giving off a faint smell now mostly the Banana Smoothie smelling of cream and bananas so far. Overall I'm really pleased with what's going on so far and can't wait for further development of the flowers!
Huge shout out to both Hidden Vault Genetics as well as @MarsHydroLED for all the work they put in to make growing a breeze
Extra special shout out goes to all my followers and people who stop into the diary alike. Keep inspiring to grow!

Day#15F Ladies continue their stretching, will be looking to remove some leaves to open the plants up soon.
Day#16F Watered ladies 4L each at 550PPM. Things are moving along as the plants keep stretching like crazy
Day#17F Ladies are producing more and more size on their cotton balls while stretching up and stacking hard.
Day#18F Ladies are producing quite the frost levels for their age. Watered 4L each at 550PPM.
Day#19F Pictures N/A. Plants continue to stretch and stack.
Day#20F Ladies look like their slowing down on their stretch hopefully haha. Watered ladies 4L each at 550PPM.
Day#21F The plants are still stretching abit while putting mass on their flowers slowly. Wont be long till we see some giant flowers covered in trichomes!
Recap: Things went very well this week, some of the plants are starting to put out a smell and everyone's pumping trichomes like crazy! With about a week or so left on the stretching period I will be looking to place my secondary nets very very soon. I'm looking forward to seeing
what the plants smell like and how they continue to develop their flowers!

Overall very solid strain from Ethos as I expected. They definitely pushing the boundaries.
This strain is extremely pungent and smells like a bag of Skittles when you just open it. Wish I could turn it into an air freshener and smell it all day long.
Smoke is off the charts and very uplifting.
LOVE Ethos Zweet Auto!

Hello Diary,
The first week of vegetation is over on my little farm and so far everything is going well.
In order to better remember the arrangement of the plants, they are arranged alphabetically from left to right.
On the left is Apollo, in the middle is the Milky Way and on the right is Titan.
Titan F1 is developing and growing nicely. It grew 6.5 cm and I am generally satisfied.
Bright spots appeared on the leaves. As with her roommate Milky Way.
I'm not sure about the cause, but maybe it's genetics. I will see and follow what happens.
Watering was not frequent, considering the size of the pots, there is a lot of moisture in the ground, so I watered it every 5 days with a liter and a half of water.
In the first week, I didn't add any supplements, considering that I mixed a lot of supplements into the soil.
Conditions on the farm are satisfactory. The humidity is slightly higher than 50% and the temperature is around 25 degrees.
The light is set to 18/6 from the first day of vegetation.
I took pictures on the first and last day of the first week, just to see the difference in a week.
Here's a quick recap of the week.
30/04/2023 - Day 1.
Watering and photography. Officially, the first day of the growing season.
Prepared 5 liters of water, lowered the pH. at 6.0 and with that amount watered the Titan F1 and its two roommates with about the same amount of water.
Titan F1 - 3 cm
05/05/2023 - Day 6.
Watering. The procedure is the same as 5 days earlier.
06/05/2023 - Day 7.
Photography. End of the first week of vegetation.
Titan F1 - 6.5 cm
That's all for this week, see you soon and thank you all for your support.

Day 65 -
Maria got some needed defoliation to expose lower nodes to light and increase air circulation through the canopy. She is growing bushy with short internodes.
Juanita's new growth looks slightly better, even though growth has slowed down and is very stretchy. Thinking of putting her soul to rest, she's turning out to be a headache in the current tent situation.
Day 66 -
Maria's growth exploded after yesterday's defoliation.
Both plants showed pre-flowers and are both confirmed ladies. π
Day 70 -
Both ladies got 1 litre each of plain water.
Maria got her lower skirt lollipopped. Also defoliated her from top to expose lower growth to more light. She is still growing very dense.
Juanita is showing signs of recovery, new growth is green and purple stems are slowly turning green again I don't like the way she is growing though, internodes are too long. Will have to see what to do with her.

They are starting to get fat. Iβm harvesting pink at the end of this week, still no obvious amber trichomes but she isnβt getting much fatter either, she has about 90% orange pistils. Canna cheese is maturing well, giving out crazy color combinations and getting thicker by the day, sheβs next after pink kush.

I installed the mesh to do Scrog with normal thread and i have done some topping in secundary stems.
Everything was fine, but the smell was getting much stronger, so i started to think to install an extractor with a smell filter.

Has a nice skunky smell. Just going through her thing.
Shout out to AMS(Amsterdam Marijuana Seeds) for this beautiful Afghan Feminized.
She is completely done with her stretch, has starting stacking her bud sights and started to produce noticable trichomes.
Giving her nothing but RSO, tiger bloom, black strap molasses and CalMag. Possibly add Bestie BloomZ this coming week.
Still have along way to go, but definitely be worth it. π₯ π π
