STATS:​

Variety: Fem Photo
Flowering Time: 63-70+ Days

FYI:​

This inzanely vigorous plant stacks monster flowers—she grows like a classic large Dutch Skunk. Her extractions are mouth-watering and her terpenes are PUNGENT: a confectionery profile of powdered sugar, sweet citrus and a sour gas finish.
Great for Extractions
Pathogen Resistant
High Yield
Pungent Terpenes

FEATURES:​

  • Incredibly vigorous and a heavy consumer.

  • She continues to get bigger without losing quality until about day 80. If bud rot isn’t a concern, let her go at least 70 days for full yields and quality.
  • Extremely high terpene percentages on extractions. Top testers: Terpinolene, Myrcene, Ocimene.
 
i grew one plant of these two crops ago, just to test it as it's from a different seed run than when i grew it before in 2018. The plant was started later than the rest of the room and only got about 2 1/2 weeks veg before flowering was initiated. It grew into a bonsai with 2 main cola heads. It was a solid smoke, harvested around day 65 but you really need 70-77 days to bring out the real goodness of these.

This strain will take some work, as the plants can stretch a bit as they probably have 70-80% sativa in them. Just waiting for the seeds to pop now, then into their 4 gallon pots with Promix and added perlite.
 
I have not grown this one under LED's, only HPS. I got almost 4.5-5 lbs under 2 HPS, which should easily translate into over 6+ under the LED's. Smell was an issue too, so I'll get a new Phresh filter before flowering. That only helps so much though, the wife won't be happy with this one. I gave it an 9/10 in the smell dept. Again i mentioned the height in the diary, it appears i did not top these when i did them. My style of grow was way different back then. These will be topped to help control the height, and it should be pretty smooth sailing. I did check the seeds tonight, after about 30 hours in the paper towels and most, but not all have popped. i'll plant them tomorrow morning when i get up.
 
I like those sponge like small calyx type buds.the pic on the weed guardian family tree seed bank looks nothing like it.
 
The buds are much bigger than the pic above, I was just trying to show thc content at day 65. It was taken down a bit early too, if I remember correctly. But still, very good. One of 2 Ethos strains I can rave about, over of 10-11 I’ve done.
 
Everything has popped thru the soil by this evening.......we'll make tomorrow day 1 of veg. Again, it's not about how much time in veg, but the size and development of the plants before flowering. These grow pretty quickly, I'll have to check how long I vegged them previously. I'll report back.......
 
I came across a good pic of my last setup, under HPS. This was an entirely different room, also in the basement. There's 24 Zsweet's in there, probably 4-5 weeks into veg. Notice the height. lol This room vented to the outside, which caused some problems in the neighborhood. lol My current room vents into the ceiling space between the basement and 1st floor.

I also came across my favorite Ethos strain, also from 2018- Chem OG. The strongest smelling strain i've ever encountered. We had to fumigate the house after this one......it's the one the wife threatened to divorce me if i ever grew it again.

These plants look gorgeous, can't wait to see them in bloom. Excellent work, hell yea!

Love the sea of green thing. Can't do it here because of plant counts but dang, excellent method of growing I wish I could try.
 
howd you go watering those back ones.lol..surprised there’s only 2 lights.seems to have worked okay ..
 
Sweetleaf.....above is not my current grow. I copied some pics from a previous grow of the strain in 2018 to show everyone what can be expected.

Max, watering is the big downfall with the way I grow. Watering the first 2 rows is a piece of cake- to get to the 3rd row on each side, I have to push branches out to one side and work my way reaching to the back. Still I’m used to it now, and watering everything generally only takes me 20 minutes or so.

Biggest difference between hps/led is with hps, best growth was in the center of the room and the side plants grew smaller buds in less developed plants. With the led light spread, that issue is lessened and the side plants do almost as well as plants to the center. That accounts for the big jump in yield.

Who’s gonna know😁.I won’t say nothin..I have zero plant count lol 😎

Yeah back ones are a pita .I use a wet vac to empty trays..i use to move a miiddle one out and get it there and pull the trays out.man that was time consuming plus losing heat out of the room cause I had to leave door open to do it.I’d b lost without my wet vac..looks like you are still using your original pots..
 
Max, yes same pots last 6-7 grows. I have 2 sets- a 5 gallon cheaper brand which i haven't used because of a heavy salt buildup on the inside lip that's nearly impossible to remove. And a 4 gallon, really heavy duty pot that just holds up better grow after grow. After each grow, i soak them in very hot water for an hour, which removes everything left over and they are good as new then. After a short scrub and rinse, i start the new grow.
 
It's interesting how bushy these became WITHOUT topping last time out......I'll top this time, but they'll need a lot of defoliation to control.

Yeah mine have a nice salt ring lol.been on the same pots for past couple years.I’ve just washed disinfect but never scrubbed it.it’s on hard too.
 
Hot water will help break that ring up, then a stiff brush finishes the job. It helps to soak for a while. Now i do it after every crop so it doesn't build up. You can also turn the pots upside down and let them soak in vinegar, which also breaks it down well.
 
Interesting how the Zsweet only took 4 days to match the Glookies height after 13...........full steam ahead.
 
Question are useing same Gavita leds you started with, thinking about upgrading you have any suggestions on there newer models. thank and keep on growing

I use to take them to the laundry match and wash them with bleach. Just had to make sure the owner was not lurking around as debris would hang out in the washer after I was done.
 
Yes EPC, the same Gavita's I bought in May of 2020.......WHAT AN INVESTMENT!!!!!! These have given me 30-40% more yield than the HPS, saved me on electricity, and probably offered a better product and uniform overall.

I am not the one to ask about newer LED's, as I don't pay much attention to the market these days. I would surely watch all the Migro videos on Youtube, for their evaluations on the current ones newly out. The ones I have now, once at $1300 each can be had around $750 now. The newer and stronger Gavita's I think are around $1100 and are probably worth a consideration. Mine I'll replace when I see my yields start to fall, but they haven't yet. I've checked every diode on both lights and they all appear to still be lit and working.

Start a thread, ask the same question- I'm sure you'll get some excellent suggestions. Lots of knowledgeable people here on the subject.

One more thing I want to touch on though.......more isn't necessary better. Why buy an LED is you have to reduce power to it for much of the grow. I worry about buying a stronger light for my situation- it will be brighter and create more heat. Brighter means the hanging distance will often need to be higher and more heat means more issues too. GL
 
Again thanks for your reply ,are you useing the 1700e ive been looking at market Place and there are quite a few for sale pretty reasonable.I have two good lights but always looking for a way to increase yeilds.
 
What is a lumatek Zeus pro 2.7 600watt led worth in your neck of the woods sshz.
 
Max, I don't really see these sold in the USA. I've looked around. The lowest price out of the UK was slightly over $800, but the shipping charge to here could be crazy. Most company's are charging around $1000 if you convert to US dollars. Most of the company's on Ebay won't ship them to the US.

I'm partial, I want a USA product, for reliability as I'm sure most go thru rigid testing. Also, cross the seas shipping on large pieces like this can be an issue. Lastly, if you have a warranty issue- good luck with that.

I also do not see these on Amazon, or any of the regulars spots I shop at.........
 
photontek is the sister company I’m sure.all I see is a different colour and name ..I’m the only dude using one on here..🤷‍♂️I can’t get the Gavita on our shores..my guess Gavita doesn’t have to expand into different countries to sell their lights….Shane from coco for cannabis sold me on his review on the light and I thought it was the best one at the time…

what seeds you sending me when I win potm 😂😂😂
 
Photontek i see all over here...........about $1000 for the LED.

I'm sure Gavita already has an extensive network of retailers everywhere, since their HPS/HD lights were/are the industry standard.

Are you getting your seeds more easily these days?
 
No..well I haven’t really tried sshz.I bought elite x elite fem spray a little while back now and liked a few phenos of dragonsflame genetics and bred some .that’s what I have been growing for 4-5 grows now ..anything sent from the States basically has to b expressed or it will b sent back from where it was sent..it’s probably been an omen as I don’t have to worry bout the cuntstables 👮🏻‍♂️ rocking up but gee I’m missing out big time ..
 
no internet for the next couple of weeks as they replace my outside line from the street to the house......i'll be back on for flowering.
 
Well they got you back on air reasonably quickly😁.did they make a mess putting the line in your lawn .

some nice ones in there.bet there a big difference in height this time round..
 
Nope, had to do it myself. Don't know if you know Comcast or not, my cable company, but they are a fucked up company. I pay $287 a month for internet/tv/phone and it's such a rip off. They have a monopoly in my area, only cable company so they jack up pricing. They came out, the underground line is damaged from the street to the house. I ran an above ground line myself, temporarily, to replace it and it's working fine. They marked the underground line today, and will replace totally replace everything with 7-14 days.

Yup, these baby's are doing nicely for only 13 days into it since popping thru the soil. I love this strain, and am making notes to make sure I remember to go long enough with them. Some will be finished at 10 weeks, but those that go to 11 weeks are the keepers.

Listened to the Rasta Jeff podcast today on Irie's "Lemon Jeffrey"......... I own it so I'll have to consider this one next time. Not lot of reviews out there on this one but it sure sells the hell out quickly each time he makes it, and it's his name sake as he named it after himself. He spoke in length about it growing tall and how to control it including topping and flowering early. One of his better podcasts, as he didn't ramble on duplicating himself over and over.
 
the topping you mentioned to me to keep height down has worked a treat without any loss of yield.buds look more quality aswell .still get reasonably sized buds.easier to trim cut up…he has some nice strains I wanted to try but that a-hole won’t even respond to messages so I don’t even bother trying anymore..
 
He mentioned the Jeffrey does particularly well with topping, as the side branches all become equal length in the end under LED's. But he also said if you have the height capabilities, without topping, the main cola becomes a baseball bat. Irie is having a 50% off sale now too, by using the code RASTA so i'm looking things over. There's not much left in fem's, as he does a lot more reg's these days. I have a 30 pack of his "Afterglow" you could have, but you better have it figured out how to get them there cause it would be a crime to waste these. I don't mind paying for shipping for you, since I owe you.........
 
Yeah I know bud.customs have this small mobile X-ray machine to check for seeds but it’s not for cannabis seeds but picks them up.it’s wierd how some get through..Why you owe me .maybe you could send them to Jeff in Oregon I think.he could maybe put them in with his seeds he will send to me when he contacts me .I just have to pay to ship them here..I could even purchase one of his merchandise to wrap them up in.maybe,idk just thinking out loud.
