Ethos Crescendo RBX1, Photoperiod 2023

[024backwards]

Day 112 Above Ground, Flower Week 7, Day 46
Light: 11 Hours/day, 10.5" from Canopy at 75% Intensity
PPFD ~1180, DLI 46.7 (Target ~1042 PPFD, 45 DLI)
75.2D, 55% RH (VPD Target ~75D, 50%-55% RH)

Hey 4-2-0, She's everything I dream of in a woman.......squat, plump, thick, ripe and swelling, sticky, hairy, coated in sugar, and smelling of a palomino. She demanded a feed today, probably would have mixed her own batch had I delayed much longer. This is her next to last one, EC 2.0, we are getting close to the end now, maybe another 20 days or so. I started a UVB light cycle today, 45 minutes, ramping up to 2 hours in the next week if she will take it. I wish Vivosun would incorporate a UVB light into their LED products so us UVB believers wouldn't have to rig them up separate.

Have a great weekend!

Hey 0-2-4, I was giving my girl a quick water and it turned into an hour long session in there tying up sagging stems, her buds are starting to ripen and get heavy! She”s pretty green still so we’ve got some work to do to bring her home, but she looks and smells awesome!

Thanks that’s high praise man I really appreciate it

You’re safe this month (ha!). I will have her harvest photos in for march and finally some new bud for BOTM, super excited about that. I’m sure you will be bringing the heat!

Day 119 Above Ground, Flower Week 8, Day 53
LED Light: 10 Hours/day, 10.5" from Canopy at 75% Intensity
PPFD ~1180, DLI 43.2 (Target ~1000 PPFD, 36 DLI)
UVB Lights (2 UV15 LizardMates): Ramped to 2 hours/day
75.1D, 52% RH (VPD Target ~75D, 50%-55% RH)..Lights off Temp ~65D

Hey Everyone, I can't believe it, only ~10-14 days left on this girl. She looks stunning but is pretty green still. It's time to bring her home with a big, sweeping, power fade..........

1. She received her last meal yesterday, day 52, a mild concoction of Tiger Bloom, Cha-Ching, and Big Bloom, PPM ~980, PH 6.3. I'll start the fade process tomorrow with a flush and then its water only from here to harvest. I'll start checking her runoff ppm's in a few days to gauge progress. Hope I didn't feed her for too long.
2. I've dialed down the LED's to 10 hours per day to promote ripening but DLI is too high. Not much choice now and she looks ok, going to let her ride.
3. I added two UVB lights last week, running 2 hours per day in the middle of the day. I wish I had a way to measure there effectiveness (or lack of) but it makes me feel better to have them so they are staying!
4. She's getting heavy! Most of the mains need support now so I've been strapping her to the peony ring as best i can but she's getting difficult to manage.
5. Her buds aren't huge but good sized, hard as, well, you make up your own analogy, and she looks alien, other-worldly, so many colors and the smell, a thick mist that you wear like a cloak for the rest of the day.
6. I have no idea what a "swollen calyx" looks like but I am going to act as though I see them pretty soon . Her hairs are starting to go brown and down, i may take a tric shot early next week just for kicks.
7. I found the reason for the smell in the room I think. I made a small adjustment to the fan so it doesn't blow out the bottom vent in the tent and voila', the smell seems to be gone!

Absolutely perfect bro, she's a diamond.
Take lots of pictures before harvest and enter her in POTM for sureand NOTM
You will get the flade soon after a couple of waterings bro

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I'm stunned to be honest, and just don't want to screw it up here at the end. I "assume" some of that tremendous fade you get is coming from cold temps at night? I only get down to 64-65D, probably need to get into the high 50's to really see those purples. My wife would sh*t......"its 58 fucking degrees in the basement!! Hey don't worry about that honey, have some coffee, stay upstairs"

Cold temps play a roll for sure and also dropping nutrients, especially (N). 65 degrees is cold enough, would not go any lower then that bro.
Your plant is so healthy, no problems finishing her out with water only if that's what you want to do.
You in foxfarm happy frog right?

Thanks Spark/GV.....she's in a 50/50 mix of happy frog and ocean forest soil. I'm giving her a flush right now (5G straight H20 with Fox Farm Sledgehammer) and then its DI H20 only until harvest. My primary bloom fertilizer (Cha-Ching) seems to have a sh*t load of N in it (9-50-10), I need to research that.

My heart is in my throat......I'm on the way to the golf course this morning and get a call from my wife. The power is out in the house (entire neighborhood actually) and has been down for 45 minutes. I admit to the being low life-form that I am.....I'm not thinking about the spoiled food in the fridge, nor my families warmth and safety. I'm thinking "How long can my baby sit in the tent w/o ventilation before she needs fresh air?"...."How long do I have before her stankiness escapes the tent, overpowers the Ono pods, and sweeps the house like a rouge wave?"..."What am I going to do with her if its a prolonged outage, I've got no where to put her, will she fit in my car?"... The power came back on just before I slipped into arrythmia, after about a 75 minute outage. It actually didn't smell too bad (I could tell it was coming though) and I think she'll be fine, but what a nerve wracking experience (that has me considering a backup solution).

Over a hour! The plants will come back fine but my ass would be sweating when they get sweaty the stink get crazy! I need to get me some more of them Ono pods they smell great but I didn't think they lasted long.

A leisure battery with sockets would help.. I think they come with a switch on it to do the change over for you.

I was panicking big time, expecting to come home to find my wife with the plant in one hand and my walking papers in the other. I contemplated just telling her to stay out the basement, that I would explain why later, glad I took a moment to settle and just get home asap. I've had this Ono bucket open all day in there and its still stanky. I'm going to get a battery like that, something to get my by for a couple of hours if something goes wrong.

lol yes i missed it and they are playing right now w/o me. It was 42D on the way to the course but its 60 now.

I use to have everything in the basement until my wife chewed my ass on the smell.
If you have a upstairs place it really helps on smell coming though the house.
Big difference between the two locations
