SSHZ does Ethos “Candy Store” under 2 Gavita LED’s

So, 3 plants chopped yesterday, and I’ll do two more today that are ready. The rest have some more time to go. I’d say two plants gave me a bit over 3 oz, and one over 4 oz but so far I'm only mildly impressed weight wise. But this is the side with the shorter and smaller plants. Like all Ethos strains, yield will be fine, but you have to worry about the strength of the buzz. Some were just worthless.........

****** of a day today, but 5 plants are now done and hanging to dry. Without the extra support, the plants rely on each other for support since I don't stake or net them. As I pulled things out, others plants start falling. That and not giving them enough water led to some things falling, drooping, etc. Everything pulled was on the short side, the right side. So 7 plants are still left there and I had to pull them all out, clean the up including removing leaves and dead stuff, use some string to circle around each plant for some support. Then watered them and arranged them back in there. I hate doing this so late in flower, but had to be done. I'm feeling it tonight too, can you say "gummie time?"

With one day drying on 3 plants, check out the resin popping............ but these buds could have easily used more time in the room to "darken up" a bit.

I also saved some scissor hash which is drying right now, and maybe (MAYBE!!!) in a few days I'll take a hit or two on my glass pipe to give it a try. All depends on how I'm feeling............ I'd love to know if it has any potency.

Nothing but fresh pH'd water to 6.3-6.4 til the end now. Watering a bit less now, around every day and a half. Lots of leaves I removed today showed some UV-B damage. Nothing terrible, nothing really too bad, but damage none the less.

Can't do it......haven't mentioned it but the Dr. called after reviewing the imaging. Even though the stress test went fine with no issues, the imaging did show some abnormalities (probably a blockage I'm guessing) so back to the Dr. May 6th for a follow-up. The last couple of times I did smoke i felt like shit for 3 days so it's easy to pass on right now.

With that, here's a pic of the left side of the room which I haven't touched yet. I'm figuring I'll cut 9 plants on Sat and 9 on Sunday and be done with it all. Then clean up the room, mix the dirt and be ready to go BUT NOT START NEW SEEDS UNTIL I'M SURE I DO NOT NEED SURGERY. If surgery is needed (angioplasty), it's just 1 day in the hospital and I'll be able to start things shortly after but will have to take it really easy for a month or so. For sure, this all sucks but better to face it head on and get it taken care of.

So the 5 plants cut and drying will probably yield a bit over 1 lb..... remember they were from the smaller side of the room and definitely won't yield like the other side. Great resin, nice and dense and getting thicker, wonderful smell........ but who knows about the buzz. I haven't fertilized them in over a week so they should be really tasty too.

I asked the Internist (regular Dr.) about the gummies, he said let's wait to see the results of the stress test so no decisions on those yet.

The tallest 4-5 plants are at 46-47 inches. Day 61 in flowering and going to Saturday so the earliest were chopped around day 55 and the rest will be cut around day 65-66. Max, just watch the plants and let them tell you when too close is hurting them. You'll notice the change in either color or shape of leaves when you hit that point. I've seen 1-2 plants exhibit just the beginnings of some foxtailing but it's really minimal and not an issue at this point. I'm also up to 1 hour with the UV-B now......

I'm 65, so things are finally catching up with me- like 40+ years of smoking pot. Just trying to stay positive and not let the anxiety overwhelm me. But excited about finally finishing the crop and the kentucky derby on saturday. Everything will be fine, just have to do what's necessary to take care of the issue.

So the stuff I cut 6 days ago has been moved to tupperware.......a bit over 18 oz right now but i expect to lose up to an oz more from drying. Right now that's over 3.75 oz per plant, and these were smaller plants in the room. So 100+ oz in the room will be entirely possible. I'll burp these 7-8 times a day for a week or so to keep it drying and start the curing process. Very sticky, very smelly and looks great.

I haven't even shown you the big ones, since they are in the back row and hard to photograph......and yes, rock hard. I used "Massive" at a 25% dose through much of flowering and I really think it help harden them up. Next crop I'll increase to 50% recommended rate and continue to monitor. Sat/Sun will be long days but I'm really happy how they turned out. Again my only concern is with Ethos stuff- no matter how good it looks or smells, the high sometimes just isn't there. Below is the pic of Member Berry I did a room full of- and I wonder how something can look this good and have NO HIGH????

i was using the massive at 50% and did get rock hard buds.pgrs do that im sure...especially the nasty pgrs that are bad for us in some booster nutes..im using canna boost this grow at about 40%-45% after this grow im going to try less if these buds come out good.so far i see some difference .infact the flowers are a little bigger but that could b because of a different phenotype...maybe....they have some vigour though....
i sure hope ethos gear smokes up as i have a couple pks to run nxt....i will b telling them if they dont...

Ethos doesn't friggin care..............believe me. Ethos is just so hit and miss. We'll see if some of their newer stuff comes through. But everything usually looks and smells great (and yields well). I don't get complaints though, my people are just happy to get anything from me. LOL
