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 🏆
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!...

This cherry cola from fastbuds is already on a good start. They may have been a bit better if I had the light dialed in.

Growing report:
The growth through veg stage was amazing couldn’t fault the plant or the feed BUT then flower stage is where these genetics goes all wrong! So two weeks into flower I see one plant had Hermied, so gave this one the axe, and then spoke to acouple of other growers that have the same strain Had the same problem So it’s now named (hermie pie) then in week 5 all plants Hermied. I managed to keep the seeds at bay mostly and slow down the process of them seeding until harvest on week 7/8 I got signs of bud rot but dealt with that quick enough it didn’t damage the rest of the the harvest. Once harvested they got a light trimming then hung up for 5/6days at temperatures 20/28 and humidity 45/60.
Used Trimbag for the rest of the trimming process, got 6oz off 3plants 😬 curing for 2weeks in one ounce Jars 75% full.
Bud report:
Smell; is sweet and tangy
Taste; sweet spicy taste
Density of buds out of 10; 8.
Some seeds found in buds😞
Thank you all for watching another stressful but fun and learning harvest.

Great week for these girlies, they’re 6 days into transition and started to give me some real good stretching! They’ve got so many sturdy branches I’m hoping when flower triggers they go crazy and I’m very sure they will! Weed seed express continue to astonish me! There strains are so stable! Can’t wait to see her bloom 👊🏽💚

Week 18
Hello again everybody
I’ve to mention: Spain was awesome and Spannabis too
My buddy watered them while I was away and he made the job. Last year someone else watered my plants and killed my whole mother tent but this time everything is fine
Today is day 34. They got their tea today:
10l water pH6.5 add 150g Compost, 25g earthworm cast, 20ml Molasses and a tablespoon of bat guano. Let it bubble about 30h.
Two girls (Bubblegum) got a bit stressed. One dried out a bit too much and the girl in the left corner got some brown stains on their top fan leafs. I think it’s a bit too tight for her and so I put in another ventilation for more airflow.
And to keep it real, I got some light bleached buds. Maybe 5 or so, this happened to me on the OG’s and to defend myself, the distance is more 25cm from lamp to the tops.
OH I LOVE MY SANLIGHT LED’s :D
So, nothing more to say for now
Until next time :)

Flower sites on all plants are growing and multiplying, LST to all plants, full Canna nutes feed for all these this week at 2L per plant per week at the moment.
Pink Kush plants are definitely smaller.
Red Pure plants are growing well, the bigger pot seems to be the bigger plant which was what I'd hoped for.
Lighting from the Phlizon LED Light is mostly on the Max setting with the COB LEDs on and the plants seem to be loving the intensity.
Thanks

11/30:
I harvested the first 6 today, flushed 5 more for the second time, and fed everybody else for the last time.
I washed all the branches using the 4-step method ascribed by Doc Bud at High Times/420magazine and many other notable cannabis connoisseurs, with slight modifications:
4 x big plastic totes/bins
8 x ounces of 12% hydrogen peroxide (or 32 ounces of 3%)
2 x cups of concentrated lemon juice
2 x cups of baking soda
10 x gallons of water in each bin
Unless your tap water stinks, you're safe to use tap water for the procedure, but I used an inline carbon hose filter to fill my buckets.
Bin #1 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the hydrogen peroxide
Bin #2 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the lemon juice and baking soda
Bin #3 - 10 gallons of water as hot tap water
Bin #4 - 10 gallons of cold tap water
I was mainly concerned about removing as much lint and cat/dog hair as possible, but also rinsing off any residue left from all the various foliar applications of humic/fulvic acid, kelp, axiom, big bloom, and tiger bloom I did. First, I put my leaf blower on low speed and blasted my plants thoroughly, one at a time, replicating 50-60mph winds for about 10 seconds and watched as a whirlwind of debris and hair flew out the back door.
Bud-washing:
Pluck any necrotic plant material and any old fan leaves off while they're still on the plant. Then, take a handful of branches and submerge them in Bin #1 for about 30 seconds, agitating it, removing from water, submerging again, agitating, etc...then remove it and let it drip out for a few seconds...then repeat the process with Bins #2-4. Let it drip dry overnight with a little bit of airflow, then dry as you normally would...baskets, boxes, etc..
I hadn't watered these plants in a few days, so they were almost in draught, but after doing this procedure, they were fully hydrated(turgid) and seemed to have brighter colors than before. Nice!😍
12/1:
The bottom part of the closet seems empty with only 9 plants in there.. 😟
I cut the harvested plants up and put them into drying baskets in the top of my closet with a small oscillating fan on. I've got the temperature fluctuating between 68f and 75f and the RH is staying between 48% and 52%.
To do that, I had to take down the small light in the top of the closet to fit the drying baskets up there. So, I moved the 3 shorter plants still up there down to the bottom and put them on top of buckets. Now the bottom of the closet looks full again!😃
I'm anxious to finish up this grow so I can get busy growing the Fastbuds Fast Flowering Photo Testers!!! When I harvest the next 5, I'll flush the remaining plants really well and that will be all the flushing they'll get..I'll let them dry back out for a few days and harvest them. I've got to make some minor improvements to the garden (adding UV, blue and red/far red booster panels and intake fans) That should put me on track to start germinating them by mid-December if all goes well.
12/3:
...early a.m...
The harvested plants are already dry!?!?? And have excellent texture??? Wow..bud washing is for real..roughly 48 hours after I hung them to drip dry, and 40 hours after I put them in baskets in 50% RH/70f conditions with moderate airflow...usually takes 4 or 5 days to get a good slow-dry in the same conditions, so I'm convinced that this must be attributed to the bud-washing procedure. I'm sold!
Here's the talley so far:
plant #1 - 115g (plus 13g larf) - Candy Cane [F2]
plant #2 - 108g (plus 18g larf) - Candy Cane [F2]
plant #3 - 119g (plus 15g larf) - C4ndycaine [Candy Cane x C4]
plant #4 - 92g (plus 6g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] - the smallest plant in the main area
plant #5 - 112g (plus 22g larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia]
plant #6 - 75g (no larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] - grown in upper area under 200w
...afternoon:
I flushed 6 of the last 7 plants for the first time today and harvested 4 more of them. I washed them and hung them to dry.....my dripping wet bathing beauties!😍

I’ve switched to a custom fertilizer blend, flushed all the plants with the new solution until the runoff matched the input values.
I’ve transplanted the original 3 seedlings into 1 gallon bags of promix cx (coco). Topped them and rooting the tops to make clones for this mom hunt. 1 of the originals (gorilla glue) has failed to thrive and is stunted at the 3rd node.. I’m ready to toss her.
The 4 replacement seedlings are also ready to transplant but not quite ready to top for cloning, needs a little bit more stem growth before I prune back to the 3rd node.
I’m very happy with these ladies so far. I could send the first 3 to flower right now but I’m going to wait for the other 4 to catch up first so I can run them all together.

Was another easy week - lots of healthy growth. Simply watered when dry, did some daily LST and leaf tucking. The green crack is definitely the fastest growing out of all the plants, and the one runt LSD25 is a bit smaller but still chugging along.

7/19: Started new nutrients today. Filled gallon jug with new nutes. Poured half of new nute mix in half gallon jug. Poured the entire half gallon jug into reservoir.
7/20: Bumped light intensity to 50%
7/21: Filled reservoir to the 2nd line today. Added a total of 1 gallon to res to get it to that line. Poured the rest of the mixed nutes for this week (half gallon) and then another half gallon of just plain water.
7/24: Bumped light intensity to 55%
7/25: Sadness today 😞.. While in the process of doing more LST today I accidentally snapped the main stem. I Panicked! Moved plant back in opposite direction to counteract the split. Will be monitoring very closely! 🙏🏾
***** For this Grow******
