Short summary of my pheno hunt for a gas strain to build up a lib

A good week, plants look healthy, environment is top notch, reaping the benefits of dialled in VPD

08/08/18 - Day 22 looking good especially after the minor bump in the road, the wire I bought for the LST is doing it’s job for the time being but I will be buying some proper stuff on the weekend. ✌️🏻 10/08/18 - did more LST last night and their responding well except one, I did some minor defoliation of some fan leaves hogging the 💡 11/08/18 - plant #3 is finally getting into feel of the LST and is looking a lot happier, but girl #1 & #2 are just going with the flow and killing it, my first time doing LST like this and I wish I started doing it two harvest ago 😂👌🏻 13/08/18 - watered each plant with 2 litres each 💧plant number #3 has a slight kink in it from the LST it has been a pain for it the main stem has hardly any flexibility but the other two are 👍🏻

She has been the queen of the family since the first week, she stood out above all for speed, reaction to toppings and beauty. Truly a super strain for Zamnesia has managed very well every time we have raised it even in difficult conditions. It has a heavenly smell, one of the strongest ganje like smell, very sweet, caramel that very much reflects the original essence of one of the most classic strains found in California.

Beginning of week.. I only went up on the FloraNectar Fruit-N-Fusion.. The rest, I am going to wait till next week to change up.. The Mandarin Cookies seems like she is right at the end of the stretch.. Still slightly but just about done, if not done now. Both of these girls are stacking calyxes and pistils.. Both are giving off purple stiples.. Not calyxes or pistils.. But the stiples ONLY are purple.. Crazy.. Never seen that before and both ladies have it.. The smells are both already beginning to appear! Both are very tangy already! So excited! Just defoliated a bit more to the Mandarin Cookies this morning.. That's all I think I'm going to do.. Unless I find a larfy nug somehwere.. Other than a few stragglers I may have missed, I believe I'm done with defoliating both ladies now.. Second time with ETHOS Genetics.. Not even halfway thru flower and I can already tell both of these will be on the top of my fav's list for sure. Wow.. Lol Mid week.. Ok so I think the Mandarin Cookies is showing a phosphorus deficiency.. It looks very similar to pH fluctuation.. So.. Stupidly.. yesterday, I went ahead and did a FloraKleen flush in the AM.. Just a plain pH'd water flush in the PM.. And the next AM I went ahead and fed her with the normal dosage I have posted, with the exception of 1.5 tsp/g of the FloraBloom instead of 1 tsp/g.. But it's still too early to tell if it's clearing up.. As a matter of fact.. It does look worse today.. It has spread a little since... 2 days ago.. Which is understandable.. I'm still trying to bring the runoff PPM back up.. Once it's where I'd like it, or where SHE likes it, it should clear up within a week.. Oh.. The runoff pH is like 5.6 - 5.5... I know they say that's ok.. But I have YET to have a plant survive even in hydro at 5.5 pH.. Idk why they even say that's ok to be at lol.. If this isn't a phosphorus deficiency.. Then its gonna be pH fluctuation.. Ugh.. Should've just started with new, buffered coco/perlite in fabric pots.. But they are both trucking along.. ETHOS Cookies smells so dank.. I can't even begin to describe.. Mandarin Cookies is smelling very fruity.. Both have VERY complex aromas for sure! Typical ETHOS strains for sure... I can tell these are gonna be some awesome nugs when these girls are finished! End of week.. Mandarin Cookies has stopped stretching for sure.. The calyxes are already so fat! This is gonna be some nice bud for sure.. Very fruity, sweet, citrusy.. Man, I can't wait to taste her! And the ETHOS Cookies.. Wow.. Such a different scent than I've ever smelled before.. Very hard to pinpoint exactly.. Still short as all fuck, but these colas should be pretty nice and dence.. The tips of the calyxes are already turning purple/blue.. I know the temps aren't low at all.. Even at night.. About 82F - 84F during the day and 73F - 75F at night.. Humidity jumps up and down.. Idk wtf the deal is with that.. But they are both lovin life.. I believe the Phosphorus def. has slowed and almost stopped at this point.. The runoff pH is getting even lower.. Now it is coming out at 5.5.. I've ran FloraKleen thru.. Flushed the shit out of the medium multiple times.. Smh.. Can't seem to get this to clear up.. The ETHOS Cookies runoff pH is perfect.. Going it at 6.2 every watering/feeding and runoff is 6.1 - 6.2 with no fluctuations whatsoever.. Perfect! My best guess is that I left the too many roots from the previous grow and they go acidic after a while.. The ETHOS Cookies pot maybe didnt have as much? And it was able to clear out now?? No idea.. I hope the Mandarin Cookies clears out soon.. Or at least that she makes it through till harvest.. ETHOS Genetics for the win!... On to the next week!...

Buds are getting bigger. It's developing well. This strain have a nice structure.

Orange Sherbet FF (Fastflowering) is a finely balanced hybrid that produces some of the tastiest orange-flavored weed out there, making it an excellent choice for top-notch extractions.

It’s the ideal strain for growers with all levels of experience, especially beginners looking to get their hands on low-maintenance yet highly productive photoperiod varieties that deliver in both quality and quantity as fast as possible and without extra effort. Bud Description This superfast feminized photoperiod strain grows light, almost neon-green colored buds with fat calyxes that get encrusted with trichomes by harvest time, giving them a fluffy, silvery-white appearance. Orange Sherbet FF flowers reek of a very distinct mix of citrus that can be described as a tangerine and orange smoothie with a very sharp and sour background that hypnotizes your nostrils as soon as you take the first whiff. Smoke Reports Despite its 26% THC, Orange Sherbet FF offers a joyful high that’s very calm and relaxing in nature.

Orange Sherbet FF grows fast and flowers faster, growing super dense buds with a distinctive mint-green color and a high bud-to-leaf ratio, making your trimming sessions a breeze. It’s a well-rounded variety that doesn’t need much maintenance and will thrive in almost every climate, rewarding growers of all levels with extremely resinous orange-tasting buds.

Just gonna stick to water only from here on out assuming there’s only a few weeks left , seen some other diaries end week 9 or 10 .. Will continue to post a picture for the group each day and like a close look at each one individually at the end of the week The smallest one is now 14 inches tall lol I have no idea... update 17 inches now Day 53 trimmed up the interior of front left because it was just a tangled mess of stacked leaves but got some space and light now Day 54 made a ghetto dry box so I could dry a couple if they need to be cut earlier than others

Week 3 of flowering, the 3 little girls are fine

Se pegaron gran estirón y la floracion ya es evidente en todas las plantas a excepcion de lsd 25. El calor ya es altísimo debido al verano y se empieza a notar en las hojas superiores, sin embargo, todas las plantas tienen un aspecto sano.

This poor, sad little girl. I feel bad for neglecting her earlier on. But hopefully she will live up to her namesake and persevere! (I guess it is a little messed up that the strain is Widow Remedy and I killed both of her husbands😕) Anyway... So bugs suck, and I sprayed with some neem oil and put out a sticky trap. Fertilized with some of the Coast of Maine and watered it in with some lime water. Heat wave is moving through right now, I hope she likes it hot😎 Forgive my slurred speech in the video, it's been a long week and my brain is addled😜

Semana 8: Estamos en su ultima semana de vegetación. Despues de muchas apicales y desfoliaciones, decidimos probar el producto DELTA 9, el cual lo recomiendo ya que acelera el proceso de nuevos brotes y a la vez ayudará en su período de floración a que los cogollos sean mas resinosos y compactos. Despues de un lindo y largo trabajo de paciencia , las plantas quedaron con 32 puntas,. a su vez , se le realizó desfoliació de las hojas por debajo de las apicales para favorecer el crecimiento . En unos dias entran en flora. Nutrientes: kawsay Ph:5.9 Ppm: 1000 Semana 8.

Getting sooo close i can almost taste it....will begin flushing with distilled watet until harvest..

Day 7. Gave her some nutes yesterday. Responding well. Day 13. Will be ready for LST in probably 3 days.

I took David Robinson's tip a little late " dont grow small flowers" So I took anything that was taking away from the main coals. Of that works out in my favour I will have to find out !! There is a large story behind there fine ladies . But for now let's just say f*ck cancer.

seems like i put too much K on this time, guess it was not enough time between because overall temps fell and i didnt take that into consideration. IF your soil temp is lower, then bacteria will slow down taking a longer time to break the minerals down. Going to back off on all feedings for at least a week.

Mar 15: Looking good, keeping rh down has proven difficult with 3 in a 2x3x4ft box, blasting intake and exhaust with 2 fans inside. Otherwise good, did a 1/4 feed to use up stores and salts. Mar 16: Looking good, dialed back in RH, Temp lowered a couple degrees, no oscillating fan so I adjust the position every day. Want to start using MonsterBloom for some fat buds but don't wanna start too early. Also need info if incorporating run-off feeds is necessary if i do occasional 1/4 dose feeds. Slowly dialing back grow nutrients, and upping bloom. New light has made 100X difference. Mar 18th: Will be increasing of volume per feed over the next week to 1 - 1.2L per plant, or until I get 10% run-off. keeping concentration of feed around 800ppm, No signs of deficiencies or toxicities yet, though colour of leaves may be a tad dark, no signs of slowed growth. Increased PPFD to 750 - 940 at the top of the canopy. Mar 21: Going to start counting days not weeks, its been 36 days since they popped, so just over 5 weeks now, I was a bit ahead. Explosive growth, still playing the "increase volume of feed until I get 10-15% runoff" game, at 1L now, will up to 1.25L for todays feed. decreasing FloraGro by .5ml/gal every feed till I get to 1 - 1.5mL/gal. increasing FloraBloom by .5mL/gal every feed till I get to 7 - 7.5mL/gal, or until I see P or K toxicity, whatever comes first. That being said if I get runoff today and its 300 ppm over input, i will flush with a mild feed until I get proper output/input ppm ratio. PLEASE, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, IF YOU SEE ME DOING SOMETHING WRONG, OR IF THERE IS A BETTER WAY, COMMENT OR DM ME 😭😂💪

Last week flew by beautifully, and everything is looking great! 🌿✨ To test their stress response, I slightly reduced the ladies' nutrient supply. Now, everything is back on track with normal parameters, and they’re thriving again 💪. The excess potassium from earlier has had an interesting effect – the buds have become so heavy that some of the branches can no longer support their weight! 😅 I’ve already had to set up some supports, as you’ll see in the first video from day one of the new week 🎥🌱. Stay tuned for more updates, and don’t forget to follow along as we watch these beauties continue to develop into something amazing! 🌺📸 --- Die letzte Woche ist wunderschön vorbeigegangen, und alles läuft super! 🌿✨ Um zu testen, wie die Ladies auf Stress reagieren, habe ich die Nährstoffversorgung etwas reduziert. Jetzt läuft wieder alles mit den normalen Parametern, und sie gedeihen wie gewohnt 💪. Die übermäßige Kaliumzufuhr hat eine spannende Auswirkung gehabt – die Buds sind jetzt schon so schwer, dass einige Triebe das Gewicht nicht mehr halten konnten! 😅 Ich musste direkt mit Stützen nachhelfen, wie ihr im ersten Video vom ersten Tag der neuen Woche sehen könnt 🎥🌱. Bleibt dran für weitere Updates, und vergesst nicht, mir zu folgen, um den weiteren Fortschritt mitzuerleben! 🌺📸
