Photoperiod throxic's Ethos & Solfire Photo Extravaganza

[throxic]

Running 4 photos this round in 7gal fabric pots with 80/20 coco/perlite mix. I'll be installing drip irrigation to accompany the auto drain system for the runoff.

Pre-soaked the seeds in RO this round for 12hrs, and placed in a paper towel inside a zip-lock. Placed that in the seedling tray with a heat mat set to 76F. 24hrs later, planted them in jiffy pods and turned the lights on 24/0. Misting the tray dome 2-3 times a day.

I'll be running Floraflex's Medium Strength feed schedule with up to 2-3 fertigations per day to maintain the desired EC levels. We'll use the calmag/epsom as needed.

Day 9F, Bloom foliar. (0.5g/500ml)
Day 10F, raised lights, Tops PPFD@950, and I'm adding 8gal to the res every 3 days feeding once daily. (26g B1/B2, 12g BulkyB). 2344EC, 5.9pH.
Day 12F, gonna let them go a little longer and defoliate on day 21F. Gonna be a nice croptober!

Day 22, defoliated and added a trellis for support. Moved the Udder Madness to the back and brought Block Monster up front to even light spread. White Wedding smells great and the OG is funky. These cultivars mature between 63-70 days, so that's our target.

Day 49, only using Full Tilt now. (3g/gal FT, 1.0-1.1EC, 5.9pH)

Day 54, hopefully they taste as good as they look. Dailed back the lights to 90%. Final week is on the horizon.

Day 61, and we've made it to the end. I'll be harvesting this weekend and today is the last day of filtered pH'd tap water that we started on day 56. WW is staying green, but the others are showing a lot of purple. The OG foxtailed a little, but the lowers are looking great. Overall, a great grow, though, I have to give it to Solfire, definitely the stars of the show. The BM pheno was a fast flowering pheno and looked ready after 50 days. The UM was a heavy feeder and once I cut the nutes she quickly cannibalized herself; big flowers though.

Anyways, thanks for following along! The next update will be after the dry.

1.37lbs, 21.93oz
101g (3.61oz) White Wedding, Ethos
132g (4.71oz) Colin OG, Ethos
176g (6.29oz) Udder Madness, Solfire
205g (7.33oz) Block Monster, Solfire

Not a bad run, had a few watering issues and lost a couple of the UM tops to mold (waiting for the others to mature) but still hit over a lb. The smells coming from the two Ethos are incredible, I look forward to the taste test!
