SSHZ does Ethos "Zsweet Inzanity".........again

No, but have reduced it a bit........I'm at about 5ml per gallon. I'll stop it slowly, in increments. Their overall health declines rapidly when it's stopped completely, so i want to get further down the road with them before eliminating completely.
 
I did give the room a once over, particularly the lowest stuff and was surprised to find things further along than i thought. It will be a game day decision while i'm harvesting how i'm going to proceed with them. My preference is to be done with the room, so i can just move forward. If i feel i have enough weight in there, maybe 85+ oz, i wont worry about saving the fluff........

Update your fucking passwords............

NIST and CISA both have recommended against password rotation for at least eight years. For standard citizens, the best thing I recommend on that front is use a password manager, and generate a different password for each online account. Password reuse is a significant problem that is pervasive across both civilian and corporate users, but requiring or recommending changing passwords every n period of time is a horrible idea. People get lazy, and use weaker and weaker passwords.

A password manager like keypass or 1password avoids that issue. You just have to remember one password. Biometrics are even better, albeit pretty much restricted to mobile devices for now.

To confirm your password isn't compromised or in some database dump, use https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords. This works by creating a hash of the entered password on the client side, and sends that hash to the server which then searches the database for the same hash.

to find out what platforms your email has been caught in, use https://haveibeenpwned.com/. If you get results, just know that you shouldn't use the same password that was associated with whatever data dump the email is in. it's not a big deal to be caught in a data dump (within reason). Just be smart.

I could go way deep with OPSEC recommendations but i don't want to blow up SSHZ's thread with going down a rabbit hole. Maybe I'll write an article at some point.
 
Wish they made all passwords by fingerprint.I’m always forgetting
Passwords as I never save them and simply forget when I havnt been i a sight for awhile.

there must b something against using fingerprint for it not to b used.
 
i had google password tell me i repeated my current password at 48 different sites and it recommended me changing them all.........yeah, right.

a password manager would solve that bud. you just need to remember one password, let the password manager pick the rest for ya. safer that way all around.

dollars to donut you use the same password here as you do your online banking. you're in the same bunch as 95% of other internet users. a password manager fixes that problem so you're in the 5% that's NOT a statistic.
 
Gotcha 👍
 
Learn from my mistakes.......

In veg you may remember I removed everything from the "tall" side of the room to stake them up but left the "shorter" side alone. Well, its come back to bite me. These are REALLY packing on the weight now and some of the shorter plants are leaning a bit. This will only get worse in the coming weeks. So guess what, taking the easy way out earlier is forcing me now to remove the shorter side plants and stake some of those up a bit. 17 days left, at as minimum, I'll just suck it up and do it tomorrow morning.

This will also give me a chance to check out that really early plant that looks done but is difficult to get to........
 
stock up on the stakes.I use anywhere between 4 to 8 a pot lol..for the dude your drooling..they just can’t hold the weight ..the orange dreams should b very similar in morphology..
 
It didn’t take long for me to remember what I liked and didn’t like about the strain..........I think what I like is fairly obvious- large colas, loads of resin, interesting Durban Poison smell and taste and relatively easy grow until deep in flowering. With that though, you also have plants that are struggling to hold their weight and will flop over at the flip of a switch if you let them.........

Still though, one of two strains I readily recommend of Ethos. The one outlier plant is basically done and I just didn’t feel like cutting it down today.......maybe later in the week. There is still some variation in the room as to ripeness but overall, I couldn’t be more pleased.
 
So to further my room work this morning, Ethos does state its a 9-10 week flowering strain. Just based on the height, the shorter pheno is the earlier, probably done around 9 1/2 weeks and the taller is the later, probably 10 1/2 weeks or so but I see some people take these all the way to 13 weeks. There is an extremely early pheno done just about done now at 58 days and I think a really late one too.

This morning I removed the right side of ride side (lol) of the room, 6 plants- cleaned them up, removed some blocking leaves and staked everything. After watering tonight, I may have to do the left side (6 plants) of the right side too as I'm seeing some leaning going on there too now. But I want to buy more string and stakes tomorrow before going at it, maybe on Wed or Thurs.

The gnat issue is completely cleared up, I dropped a whole bag of mosquito bits (look it up) into my resurvoir and those waterings finally took care of the little buggers.

My Promix and perlite came today, once I have a new tarp and Dragon's seeds, I'll be ready to go (and of course the room finishing up).........
 
Just wanted to place some notes for future reference..........

Turned back lights to 11/13 on day 51..........flowering since Aug. 20th. Mostly sativa strain, up to 80%.

Cut back Cal/Mag day 60 to 2ml per gallon. Started Overdrive 10/13 at 15ml per 15 gallons. Up to 30ml now at day 60. I'll stop Cal/Mag on day 63.

PPM at 600 on day 60 and will start slowly lowering immediately. Still watering almost daily, 20 gallons in each day.
 
Max, remember this grow? Ethos "Punch Line"...............found it in 1 of my threads over at the Farm. Notice the 1 yellow plant. Every grow there's 1. LOL This IS NOT the current grow, its from 2021. If I remember, it was well received.

That was a nice grow that one..had a nice aroma too and very dense flowers..was this the one the better half was complaining about the stink and you ended up getting the phresh filter and the other dehuey you have down stairs…
the yellow ones are the black sheep of the family 😃

Looks great, I too have been trying 11 on 13 off light cycles. I like the results so far. I am a novice grower and still learning my own S.O.P. If there is one for me, as I find different practices for different strains are a thing. Working on germination, it's my 1 downfall for now, Cheers to trim parties! SSgrower
 
Sativa seem to react to manipulations better than indicas, IMO..........things i've tried include reducing water availability, raising lights to reduce intensity, change of ON lighting hours, remove most sun leaves late in flowering and i'm sure a few more things in can't remember just now..........they probably all have some impact.

It seems the yellowing of the single plant each grow happens to be in the same spot in the room each grow too.......I'm wondering if there is a lighting abnormality at that point in the LED?

And starting seeds in paper towels is the easiest method with the highest degree of sprouting IMO............as long as the seeds are fresh, I'm nearly always at 99%-100% sprouting. People tend to overthink it.
 
Just going thru the room a bit.......and i did do a microscope test on the single well done plant and saw 5% clear, 5% amber and the rest opaque so i decided to wait another day or too. No reason other than i had my super dose (over 65) flu shot today and my arm is sore.

I may introduce a little UV in the room these last 12 days or so.....those lamps are already hanging in there so why not. I do feel it's a bit detrimental the the plants health i.e. distorted leaves and such but this far along i don't think it really matters.
 
I use a glass of water w/h2o2 very little then to a makeup pad. Paper towel works too. Cheers bro SSgrower
 
Well, when you don't use timers, shit happens. I put the UV-B on for what was supposed to be 1/2 hour- and forgot about it. 1 1/2 hours later, I remembered.

Just went in, turned the lights out and with a high powered white flashlight, I looked around. This often gives me a better view of what's going on and the ripeness. I don't think i'll need to go longer than 10 weeks, 9 days away. Or maybe just a few more.
 
I'm guessing, by my count, at least 50 1000 watt fixtures..........god knows how much it costs to maintain air temps. It's also interesting how high the lights appear to be in the room. I'd also say its impossible to get to the middle of the room if there are issues.

Not too much impresses me these days after 35+ years of growing. This one wow'd me.
 
Most appear to b foxtailing to me..big yield but buds don’t look the best..maybe it’s the heat in there.
notice the ones to the right hand side away from the light the tops look better as in bigger.maybe a different strain..

im impressed by the size of the grow..like those big ass fans.
 
No doubt commercial dispensary pot......yield over quality is all that matters. Still the uniformity is impressive. I agree with a magnification they don’t look particularly good but I’m thinking they are about to harvest.

A lot of grow managers get bonuses based on overall yield, not quality of smoke........

This is what a serious grow looks like...........people don’t believe I’m getting on average 3 lbs and a couple oz per light. These guys are getting 4.5 lbs. per 1000 watts. The strain is GMO Cookies.

Definitely a big yield.
Look at the buds under the first fan on the left wall.
Barely any buds on those ones. Definitely looks like quantity over quality.

Impressive still, just not sure why there arent any isles to walk through.
 
That's the first thing that occurred to me too.......that's the first sign they don't care about quality and it's all about using space- i.e. yield. I thought i may be missing something, so i enlarged the pic and studied it- no isles or access to anything in there. I hope they don't have a leak in their water system or they are f*cked. Maybe they tightrope across on those pvc pipes? lol

Otherwise, today is 9 weeks finished in flowering. There's definitely some differences in phenos as to finishing times but i'm chopping everything next weekend at week 10. My water softener crapped out and i'll need a new one, but I can't bring anyone into the house for a few weeks since it smells so bad.
