Week 7- Day 1 of Flower (Day 110 overall) (Day 49 of Flower)
There was a couple of small super small sucker buds on the lower stocks that needed to be cleaned off but that was it. Just watching them Flower!!

Week 7- Day 2 of Flower (Day 111 overall)
Tucked a few fan leaves below lower buds but didn't see any blatant offenders that needed to be removed. I typically do start my checks in Week 8 but since this is a new strain I decided to go ahead and do a Trichome check just to see what was what.. Just as I thought nothing but clear glassy Trichomes. I will check again in one week....

Week 7- Day 3 of Flower (Day 112 overall)
Just letting them grow today!! Smell is getting stronger I would say it is a hint of Pine and a heavier fruity smell.

Week 7- Day 4 of Flower (Day 113 overall)
I did Nothing but took some pics and I enjoyed it!!!! It is nice to be able to just sit back and watch them on auto pilot.. :-) Tomorrow Water Change Day!!

Week 7- Day 5 of Flower (Day 114 overall)
I admit it.. I had to defoliate a little bit.. I looked in while changing the water today and there were just a couple blatant offenders blocking the light from lower bud sites and those leaves they just had to go. Other than that I changed the water and this week is where I drop everything and start preparing them for this last phase of the grow. Loving a few of these buds they are starting to beef out very nicely.
I added 36 gallons
Mammoth Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil
Root DRIP = 1Mil/Gal= 36Mil
CalMag= .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil
FloraMicro = 3.8Mil/Gal= 137Mil
FloraGro= 2.8Mil/Gal= 100Mil
FLoraBloom= 4.6Mil/Gal= 166Mil
LiquidKoolBloom= 2.5Mil/Gal= 90Mil
TPS SIGNAL= 4.0Mil/Gal= 144Mil
ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil
Water Temp= 70.1
Tent Temp= 76
Humidity =64 ** I have two dehumidifiers running on Ink bird controllers to try and keep the humidity down, In late in flower I like to keep the humidity above 45 but below 60.

Week 7- Day 6 of Flower (Day 115 overall)
Opened the back of the tent today and boy did she need some defoliation love in the back. Other than that I took off a few little sucker buds trying to form. I did start to setup my Dry space as well as did a Trichome Check today and the brown tips are coming in nicely.
5/29/2023
Week 7- Day 7 of Flower (Day 116 overall)
Found a few baby sucker buds trying to form so I removed them. Other than that I am enjoying watching her mature.
I also started my Reverse of the Clone I took 6 weeks ago in Apr from #3. I am uploading footage of the reversing process for your viewing pleasure.

Alright, another week. Ladies looking well.
Defoliated the Sugar Mama and Fastberry mid-week they took it well.
Ran out of Neem Oil last week and noticed a couple of small bugs flying around, no idea what they are so ordered some more neem oil and some stickies.
The other girls are all doing well, they are drinking much less than usual, I had a bunch of alfalfa seeds lying around so sprinkled them around some of the plants.
Upped the feed as they seemed to need it. EC is now going from a base of .6 to 2.4

Hi everyone. By now a fat banana has come to an end. With next week I will proceed to the cut. Now it is being fed only on water (ph 6.2) The other little fat banana was infected with a caterpillar that was eating the stem internally. I eliminated the parasite and treated the wound of the plant with a totally natural product. It seems to me that he reacted well. The northern light proceeds ... it is still behind.

Transplant time! Got these girls into a three gallon container with added mycos and bacteria. My custom mix is coco and perlite with added amendments, worm Castings and purple cow soil. I add dolomite lime on top and mix it in. They got a small watering.

Hello, friends! The week went well. On December 17, 2023, we switched the light to 12/12, and our girls are enjoying it, consuming a good 2000 ppm every day. I want to share that the clones are doing well too; they are two weeks old. Thanks to everyone for keeping track of our growth and leaving comments; it means a lot to me.

The only thing I did was defoliation and fed her the power bloom, all purpose, and worm castings. Top dressed nutrients and fertilizer. I made the Recharge Tea once a week and added molasses in between the tea.

This plant was a pleasure to grow, with cola buds dense and encrusted, and a problem free first grow. Seem to have gotten an OG dominant pheno with nice gelato hints of flavor and color; the citrus zest may or may not come out in the finished product, for me it is faint. Hope to grow this strain again in the future, definitely head-stash potential so my remaining steeds will be going in the vault. I let it hang dry a bit too long, but they鈥檙e currently a week into the cure at about 59% RH. My next grow will probably be the same set up, but improving on it with the experience I鈥檝e gained through this process. I hit my 10 Oz total yield goal I鈥檓 pretty satisfied with my techniques and strain choice. Get this strain if you want an easy, high potency indica with impressive yields and good flavor. I鈥檒l also be dry sifting the (tons of) sugar covered trim from both of the plants to press into resin, so I encourage y鈥檃ll to take advantage of all that the plant provides. Cheers

### Day 22 ###
Jeej, the last week of vege! She looks to respond pretty well to the LST, I see nice new growth everywhere. She is also very dence as shown in the video up above. I hope she will get a mayor stretch when starting to flower. I'm already very proud of how this little plant is turning out. 馃榿馃尡
Also ordered some biobizz top max and bio heaven to boost flowering when it happens.
### Day 23 ###
Decided to add more LST, a lot more LST (like 7 wires extra in addition to the 2 initial ones)! 馃槀 Was a little hard because of the density, but it worked out. I think only one budsight does not have access to direct light. I just could not get it in the right place, oh well, there looks to be enough others 馃構. Hope she is not stressed too much, some of the bends are pretty hard, but she is still flexible.
After reviewing the photos again I realized that I'm growing her in kind of a spiral.
### Day 24 ###
Started the day by tucking the bigger leafs underneath the small ones who need more light. She looks happier now! Also watered her 0.6l with nutrients, the soil was becoming pretty dry and it was 3 days ago since her last watering.
### Day 25 ###
Pretty uneventful day. She is still liking the LST, like a lot! Readjusted the LST and tucked the bigger leaves under. There is only one part of new growth I'm concerned about! It is in the middle of the top view picture, so it is from a few nodes before, but looks terrible in comparison to the rest of the plant. Like it was eaten by something. Hopefully she will rebound from this.
### Day 26 ###
I put some cardboard in a V shape in front of the intake fan to defuse the airflow more. Now the new growth that had problems yesterday looks a little better, the brown red-ish is fading away. Windburn is a real thing apparently 馃槻
Did a lot of LST again today, trying to stay ahead of the growth.
### Day 28 ###
The last day of week 4. Did some more heavy LST to make sure all potential budsights get enough light. The growth that was struggling a few days ago is doing a lot better and seems to be recovering.

we just finished 2 weeks are are going into the 3 week. These ladies can EAT!! 1,000 ppm鈥檚 and no issues..looks like I have to up the ppm鈥檚 for bloom phase
4 out of the 5 are doing GREAT. The 5th one is having issues and I know it鈥檚 the media I am using. I had a different brand of soil for 1 of the banana MAC鈥檚 and it freaking SUCKS!! I am amending with Iron-Tone by Espoma to get the green back and it has some cal-mag also with sulpher ( hits all suspect deficiencies).
The other 4 are in Mother Earth soil which I have had zero issues with. I will be sticking with Mother Earth for awhile.
11/6 Potassium deficiency in the banana MAC鈥檚鈥inda of a good sign. Let鈥檚 me know the plant is going into bloom phase and it鈥檚 time to change the ratios from 1:1:1 to 1:3:2. The 1:3:2 is flower girl 1 week and fish bone meal with Langbeinite the other week. I will alternate between the two for 4 weeks. Tuesday ( 11/8) will mark 3 weeks. I did defoliation and lollipoping today. This is the second one I have done ( I do the first one the week before flipping).

Overall a fun and enjoying flower of the purple sunset. She transitions quickly and stretchs fast. Being an indica hybrid she doesn't get too tall, thus creating strong and sturdy branches to hold her fast dense frosty nugs. During the stretch she loves a good amount of grow notes. Week 2 to 4 she starts getting picky. Once she starts to fade, it is time to drop the grow nutes and go into full bloom early in week 4. This cultivar shows more phenotypical expressions depending on climate and flush. She shows huge purple hues in flush. Allowing her to go into week 9 to 11 can result in almost purple buds. She has a nice term profile in flower and once in the jars. Sweet candy grape 馃崌 purple punch notes on the nose and on the pallette when exhaling on the smoke.
When trimming this girl she was. Breeze to trim. She got a good 8 to 9 days to dry and was then sweat in the jars. When you smoke Ethos purple sunset the indica really hits you like a train. Taking her down at day 52 was a good choice. The high feels like any of the high once u smoke it. You don't start to notice the stoned effects until you're halfway through a big bowl with your partner. As you guys finish, you notice the body stone take in effect as well the heavy chest and trachea feeling which I LOVE. A sense of happiness and relaxation set in almost immediately. Very enjoyable indica high with great terps. I would give it a 10 but that maybe next run once grow her to week 10 flower.
Overall Ethos purple sunset delivers. Fast flowering monster that delivers on extreme levels of frost and terp profiles. Don't believe? Pictures show it all. Please follow and like the purple sunset remix diary for a full grow of this upcoming beast put into full beast mode. P.s. perfect night cape if you are tired. Sleepy side will take you under 馃槀

107 days!! Here is another great experience :) The girl has matured, 330 grams of wet, full of sticky, resinous shiny, pleasantly smelling flowers :) I think it will be about 90 dry :) although the girl is definitely not the biggest, but she looks great, the smell is also amazing :) I also got some sugar leaves from which I will make bubble hash, For me personally it is really beautiful and good growth, which I think will definitely be confirmed by the dried and cured flowers :) there will be a smoke review, as well as the total dry weight. good luck to everyone :).
