Ethos Seeds

LOL......I get this question alot. Simply, two 1000 watt HPS. Pick the right strain, grow it properly and let it finish all the way and then lights don't matter as much. I use cheap iPower bulbs (about $25 each) and iPower ballasts (less than $100 each)- but I switch the bulbs out every 2 grows or so.

EDIT: I wanted to clarify and make a point. I know a lot of growers and see a lot of east coast rooms as I also consult with start ups and problem rooms- and the biggest issue I contine to see (other than bugs/mites) is over-fertilzation. People just think more is better, and it's just the opposite. Don't follow manufacturers recommendations, it's almost always too much. I let the plants tell me when they need more (or less).

They can still be bought at getseedsrighthere.com. How many seeds come in ethos freebies?
I've gotten all my Ethos seeds from SeedshereNow and they don't give any freebies at all. But I have a constant 20% off code, and then pay by check (another 10% off)- so totally I get 30% off, lowering the $100 cost each down to around $70, a great deal.

I stand corrected. If I remember correctly SHN was running a special on something i did a few crops ago (Citral Glue), and got some extra which i gave to DrGruber. The freebies were 1 of their Mandarin strains, but i never grew them. Just gave them away.

I usually put up a pic of everything drying but haven't at this point. The Citral Glue gave me 69 oz i believe, which is 4 lbs., 4 oz. I deifintely have more drying now than before, and quite a few more large cola's, pointing me to the 5 lb mark. I'll start packaging in a week, we'll know for sure then.

Nice I'm Running 3k on banana hammock r 1 start of 5th week it looking to be 1lb per light
I really look for yield when making my decisions, but pic's I've seen on Instagram of the B.H. look great. I think I saw Ethos will be coming out with some new strains again in the not so far off future. Member Berry is up for me next, which I'll start in just a few days- Ethos owner recently said it's his favorite strain of all of them, 28% THC and high yield- that's good enough for me. Also it has a strong tart/citrus/orange taste and smell with a strong indica buzz.

What nutrients you using
I use Botanicare products, Pure Blend Pro grow and bloom, along with their Cal/Mag and Hydroplex. I also use a few G.H. additives and their pH up and down. But on a low fertilizer scale, for sure- especially when doing sativa's. I do a 50/50 mix of veg/bloom thru week 6, then go to all bloom for 2 weeks, then slowly reduce down to nothing the last 7-10 days or so. I grow in Pro-Mix with added lime and perlite, 4 gallon pots. And as always, only reverse osmosis water for everything in the room.

Was the freebie like a full retail pack or just a couple seed?
Hard to remember, but it was an actual breeders pack with correct Ethos packaging. I sent the packaging to DrGruber so he could look it over. I'm pretty sure it was a 6 pack or two 3 packs, as I sent him 3 seeds and kept 3 which I started when I did the Citral Glue. But all of C.G. sprouted, so I didn't need the Mandarins anymore so I disposed of them. DrGruber grew 1-2 of them out, you can question him about it if you need more info.

The fans on the Banana Hammock I'm running are bigger than my hands, but the plant itself is only about 10in in height. I can't wait to see what it does in flower. Same goes with the Ethos Headband, crazy noding on that one. (Pic 1 is the BH fan, pic 2 is the HB)
Off to a good start.........you pinching either of them?

I meant topping.........5 full days dried for the first chopped buds so I thought I'd vape a bud. It was taken from a secondary branch, but was still stinky with great resin. Under the poor lighting it almost seemed brown. Surely not a pleasant odor- it's not like dogshit but it's close. Almost nauseating actually. Everything that leaves the house stinks like it- the wife went into the office today and she could smell it on her lunchbag. LOL Broke out the Volcano, chopped the bud up and fired it up. First thing I noticed was how white and thick the inside of the bag looked. Did 3 pulls, didn't need any more. Took a 10 minute ride upwards, as the buzz was building.

My only thought was WOW. Kind of like my THC capsules but with a head high instead of the body high. Feels like my head is in a vice, being squeezed from both sides. 75% in the head, but with a very nice wave of relaxation thrown in. My eyes are 1/2 closed, from "the wife"- she says I look high. DUH!

Probably wouldn't have burned properly in a pipe or joint but the vape definitely did the trick.....A few hours later, still riding the ride.

LOL......5 1/2 hours later, I'm still quite high. It's very strong, no doubt. I already like it better than the Citral Glue, which I thought was great and still smoke regularly.
