You might want to wait a few days they are having a new drop of crosses with his star dawg. Might be the testers that are out of stock on the site. The Copper Chem is supposed to be pure fuego. There is also good recent reviews on the lvtk but not sure if the cannaventure strains apply to their swap

Thanks buddy, not sure I would have caught this..........I took the refund. I don't have the time or patience to deal with this crap. Later tonight I'll be ordering more Ethos beans- they continue to be my go to breeder. I've never had a hermie, 100% germination on everything or have been disappointed with their stuff. If you could see my current room- not pictures but really look around- AND smoke my Citral Glue- you'd totally understand.........

And yes, only GPS stuff on the swap..............thanks again LrnLvGrw!

Ok.... So, Moxie gets some chit, and that's ok, all breeders do... But look at my instagram (link in sig) and that Viper Cookies by movies was amazing. I got 3 seeds because I buy a lot of different strains and got 2 phenos. 2 purple and 1 you see in the picture. The 2 purple leaning phenos were bullshit, nothing good imo... But the keeper, well that's like on par with all my other genetics and while I'm very much a mid tier grower my genetics are top end because I just got lucky meeting the right guy.

So, generally cheaper seeds from moxie, but seriously check that Viper Cookies out IMO.

Here's my issue with this.........I grow for a living and can't afford to grow 24 plants and have 8 great ones and 16 poor plants, whether it be because of low yield, quality issues, low THC or whatever. One of my criteria on a breeder is absolute consistancy.........I don't look for mothers and then clone, I just want solid plants time and again. I only grow 1 strain at a time, and generally don't grow the same strain again (I used to but not anymore) as my people want and expect a new strain each crop. The better a breeder is at picking the proper mother and/or father, the higher the chances of finding consistant plants that meet a high threshold.

That's cool, I make moms because it's hard to beat a whole grow of top end product VS maybe a top shelf plant or 2 and a bunch of mids and maybe a hermie or 2.

Comments up tonight, room pic in the morning. I'm really starting to see the potential of the room today, 5 weeks flowering finished. Yield will undoubtedly be very heavy and I'm regretting not staking the room when it was manageable. I'm going to hope for the best but there may come a point I'll have to tear the room apart and stake most of the plants. Smell is strong, heavy and musky. Nothing fruity or spicey here.

So, exactly 5 more weeks to go. They'll really start packing on the weight for about 3 weeks now, and it will take around 2 more weeks to finish up. I haven't had to go over around 900 pp in my fertilizing and they've stayed nicely green with a 1/3 veg, 2/3 flower nutrient mix. I'll start adding a bit of some bud booster shortly to help them along too.

Lastly, a super easy grow so far. No bugs or issues, and no yellowing on any of the plants. Back in the morning.

Well I kind of knew it was coming........I had to rip the room apart and stake everything tonight. I started to see the "lean" the last 5 days or so as the main center cola's started to build weight. I could have turned a blind eye and said fuck it, but it was only getting to get worse as the buds fill out. So it took a bit over 2 hours to pull each plant out, stake what was necessary, clean them up a little and then re-arrange everything. The good is the room is done now and I won't have anything else to dothe last month except water and pinch off a few sun leaves here and there. My hands were COVERED in dark resin- there's a lot of resin on these plants. The stink is getting quite pungent too- I've been trying to remember what it smelled like- maybe the Zombie Virus from Expert Seeds I did last year. Nothing enjoyable about the smell- no fruit or spice or citrusy here. More deep, dank kush like than anything. The bad is, there were a lot of weak branches- I literally had to build a ring of string with stakes around the pot and let the branches sit on it. This is the perfect strain to serious prune early on down to 4-6 cola's and leave it at that. I'll post a pic in a few days when the room adjusts to the re-arrangement.

Forgot, I also cleaned the floor, lights and shields too, which is always a good thing.

A little unmanageable since they were short in veg and elongated thru the first 4 weeks of flowering, which is pretty extreme. I talked to Ethos about these and was told they've never tested below 30% THC, which I believe. So, yes I'm happy at this point with less than 1 month to go now- loaded with resin, and a great, pungent odor- what's not to like. Just wished (as always), I would have staked them earlier on.

So, below is a pic from today........you can compare and see just how chunky they've become week to week. The room was torn apart 2 nights ago and most everything was staked. Today is day 38 in flowering, so I still have around 32 days to go. You can see 1 plant center back that's been yellowing, but that's the only 1 in the room. I haven't even thought about why, since it's the only one. Every other one is nicely green and healthy. This room will easily produce 4+ lbs., no problem. Stinky shit, I was mowing the back of the house last night and could smell it as I rode by. Switching to 100% bloom nutes now for a few weeks now, no more veg nutes mixed in, and plan on a 12 day flush at the end.

Great work Sshz! have been following this for a month Enjoying you thoughts and plants!
ZI will be my 2nd ever grow. Two questions if you got time.
Are you happy the 4 week veg was best time?
scale in relation to your img's: my tent is 1mx1m x 2m. I'M thinking 4 plants is enough to leave a little room to wriggle the air scrubber around. Any thoughts
Cheers, D
Am planning 15l pots

Hi Skid......LOL

Go back thru and look how short the plants were after 1 months veg period.........I think all the plants grew 3x-4x that height in flowering, which lasted a full month (stretch)!!! Your issue will be height, not width- they don't grow wide but about 1/2 the plants will get to 5 ft tall and the other half to around 6 ft- it's the sativa influence for sure. EDIT: I wanted to mention 1 pheno, that was very broad and different from the rest- Xmas tree design. I have at least 3-4 of these in the room of 23 plants.

If I was to grow them again, I would pinch them all once about 5 days before flowering, and would have staked them all in some manner early on in flowering. Other than that, my fertilizer schedule has been on the lower end not going above 850 ppm and with no need too. They like their cal/mag, and I give 8-10ml per gallon in every watering- if not, they will taco a bit.

Other than that, be prepared as they are quite stinky. I've identified the smell which leans heavily to a Gorilla Glue #4 stink. Grow it and you'll know it. LOL 3 weeks left tomorrow (7 weeks flowering done) although I do see some plants that should be done around week 9 as most the hairs have already turned and the swelling has begun.

So, in a small tent, flower early!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is not an ideal strain for tent growing, too much sativa in it IMO. And as it's only your 2nd grow, you may be challenged a bit. I'm on RIU a lot and always available to help with questions, etc.

Skid.......also, always make sure you remove the bottom 25%-33% of every plant when you initiate flowering. as these put off a lot of crap that's useless.

Looks really good.. I may give this strain a try this winter... Looking forward to hearing and seeing how she turns out and if the breeders claims are on point...

Yes, bold statements by the breeder, i.e.

1. "Born to break records"

2. "Tested at 30% THC"

3. "yields that will rival any livining canabis plants"

Monday is the end of week 7, I'll make a post and try too get some decent close up bud pic's up........3 weeks to go.

I bought some Zsweet Inzanity for after my Inzane In The Membrane are finished.

Your pic looks amazing, and grown all from seed? In person, are the phenos similar, stable or do you see much variance? How about frost/thc, do you feel this will be around Advertised levels of "Inzane" or 30% THC. Also, again I know you're only lil over half way but do you feel the Yield will be "Inzane?"

Thnaks, looks great =D

First off, I'll say you can't go wrong picking ANY of the Ethos stuff......I've never been disappointed. As good if not better as any one's elses stuff currIMG_0855.JPG IMG_0859.JPG unnamed.jpg IMG_0856.JPG ently available. I bought this strain for 3 reasons: 1) It's Ethos, 2) yield and 3) high THC. I have confidence it will hit all the marks, you should too. I was going to buy Colin OG next time up, I went with an indica, "Member Berry"instead. So I'm 70% done now, 49 days into 70. ALTHOUGH, I'm confident some of the room will be done around 9 weeks. Now for some bad pic's under a flashlight:
