Ethos Brand

[OG-KGP]

Most issues stem from breeders not taking the time to stabilize the strain. . Good breeders make good seeds.

Do they?

Does ethos stabilize their strains? Everything I see is poly hybrids. Maybe Im wrong.

Good breeders make good seeds? Stabilizing a line, which takes many generations of work, . Do breeders still do that? Maybe a few. Sannies Jack, killing fields come to mind? I didn't really care for either even though they were stable. Good seed, not my favorite plant. Stable doesn't mean good, just consistent.

Good genetics make good seeds. If dip shit Bob crosses two cuts in his moms basement, the same cuts that ethos does at their breeding facility, and both are grown and harvested at maturity for viable seeds, there will be no difference between the two. Whos the good breeder here? Either they both are or none.

poly x poly will display many phenos. But starting with good genetics, you have better luck producing a better plant. So in todays terms, a good breeder is the one with the best variety poly genetics. Not the most stable or worked.

Lmao. I like the genetics ethos has. Essp for the price.

I can dig that. And I'm not debating that. Just pointing out that almost every successful "breeder" doesn't stabilize a damn thing expect their debt to income ratio.

Colin Gordon just explains the whole process in such a way that I can grasp easily. He iterates a lot, he has no degrees, he's just a dude who has experience growing bomb ass weed, and that's the bottom line. An experienced grower, who "figured out" the seed game, creating shit he himself would want to grow and smoke.

I personally can't wait to try their gear, but i got other stuff on deck.

That's usually who turns out on top. Knew an old hippie, everything he touches turns out great. Couldn't read half a children's book.. most would consider him retarded at a school. But he knew pot and could grow bud andvegetables. Never measured a thing. Another thing he knew was how to be happy. Finely skilled. Can't teach that shit.

A buddy ran ethos and had some nice selection. My post wasn't a stab at ethos or anyone making seeds in general.

Just that because a seed company made it, doesn't make it any more stable than someone else breeding an unstable poly to another.

Cookies by ETHOS didn't herm but their Mandarin Sunset did. Lost 4 20 gallon plants that I vegged for 6 weeks..

Damn that's awful. I had a blue power from sin city throw a few nanners towards the end of one of my grows way back when. I just pinched the herm sites off and continued to flower. They didn't throw any more. Maybe I'm just a dumbass / newbie but for a few nanners I've always thought just removing them and continuing on (at least if it's well into flower) just makes the most sense.

I've also grown really small though so maybe it's more manageable.

I'm growing 24 perpetual 20 gallon plants at a time in flower which is why I have to be way more strict on plants that go herm any period of flower. I feed a normal strength CYCO Platinum Feed per their calculator and actually use only some supplements they offer (Potash+, Swell & Silica) other than that I don't run any KELP or things that are known to throw plants into foxtails and other weird sh*t.

I've had 1 hermie plant caught just a day or two late and it fully seeded over 10 #s of bud....

Citradelic Sunset a week since flip. Super fast from crack through veg. Stretch was about 1x in the frost week. Just starting to see how the stacking is shaping up and looks decent.

 

[Burnedman]

Ethos autos speak well for the breeder. Pluto Cut is top shelf.

I'd dare say!

I know this thread is a bit old, but just ran the Collin OG again with a full koolatron cure this time. I can say it grew great, looks great, smokes great. Only caveat is that with the full koolatron cure, when I take it direct from the fridge, it smells of perfume. Never had that before. Only thing I can figure is the Ethos description indicates a floral note, and perfume is the best i can describe it. Didn't know where else to put this info, but here it is in case anyone wants to know.

So I just switched from Herbie's because I've literally run into so many hermies from them, I'm done. Running 4 different strains from Ethos right now. Anyone have experience with them? Are you happy with the outcome?

I know this is older and not sure if you are around still, but back around 2015 I ordered seeds from Herbie's and I feel like they swapped them out. Once I bought and payed for the real packs Herbie's kept those, and just sent me random fake ones without packaging. Just little clear dime bag bags, with printed out stickers to identify each strain. Then when I grew them all out, I had hermied EVERYWHERE, nothing looked like what I payed for! Ten different strains and even three different freebies strains, and nothing grew like it was supposed to lol
I had bought "Phantom Cookies" it was supposed to flower in 9 weeks, that shit kept flowering like 19 weeks, getting as tall as my grow room and stopped just an inch from the roof lol
I started all ten strains at the same height, knee level. The phantom cookies grew over everything like a monster plants and then blew its load on everything
The colas were the size of baseball bats and flopped over onto my hos light and started burning. I was watering my veg tent and started hearing a sizzle noise and smelling burnt hair

That's strange. I did a cross awhile back of California Special x Rare Darkness and one of the phenos smelled like how you described, and when I smoked it, it was almost like eating a rose
It was like the smell of the bud as you put the pipe to your lips is like putting your nose on a dozen roses, then you light it and hit it and it tastes just like you licked the flowers in the bouquet and the resin coats your mouth and leaves an after taste of flowery perfume... I personally enjoyed it, but my wife used to work at a perfume store so she hated it
