Ethos Mandarin Cookies V2 - very stretchy

[McStrats]

So I went on a trip and left feeding instructions for a friend who was taking care of the plants while I was gone. They went into 12/12 a week before my trip. They were topped about 10 days before 12/12. When I returned I was surprised at how much they stretched. They look healthy, but huge. I'll probably lollipop sometime this week as the stretch seems to be over. They are under a Timber Vero Cob 400 watt, plus a pair of Platinum P300 LEDs with only the bloom function engaged. The Timber is dimmed to about 75%. If I turn everything up full the leaves show signs of heat and light damage. So far so good on that front. I am using Humboldt's Secret Starter Kit.

I guess my question is..besides doing some lollipopping, is there anything else I should look at?

You could always super crop to even out the canopy.

Interesting. I have never tried this before but I might give it a shot.

It all worked out. Trichs are 75% cloudy and 25% glassy. 8 weeks in 12/12. Does about 2-3 weeks to harvest sound about right?

No, you have longer. You are only about half way through flower. 8 weeks of 12/12 means you are 5-6 weeks into actually flowering.

Thanks. Being primarily an auto grower I wasn't aware that flowering didn't begin as soon as you put them in 12/12. It makes sense though.

harvesting by pistals: harvest when 80% of the pistals are brown

 

[CaliRootz88]

Don’t forget to flush with cal-mag and put a nail in the stem to stress it for more trichomes.
Don’t let these growers on here tell you there’s no magic tricks to boost yields. Broscience is REAL!
JK! Looking good so far. Keep us posted. Id love to see pics before the harvest.

I've grown a gmo zkittlz by ethos and it's stretchy easily doubled in size

Dont harvest by pistils turning colors, harvest when the pistils recede into the calyx's

 

[McStrats]

70 days from 12/12. About 70% cloudy trichs. The rest are half glassy and half cloudy.

Looks like it could go on for a while yet .... are you scoping the trichs ...

Yes. About 70% milky.

I'm still giving the plants nutrients each time I water. There seems to be conflicting info on this. Feed nutes up until harvest? or water only for the last 10 days?

What say ye?

 

[Nope_49595933949]

Keep feeding.

Dark, shiny leaves tells me a abundance of nitrogen, probably what’s slowing the maturing process as well.

Id go with just water at this point personally

I agree that they look greener than they should. I've been following the Humboldts Secret feeding chart. Base A has the higher N content. I'll probably forgo it at this point.

Those colors though!!! Nice looking strain!! Did you end up flushing or nah? I don’t ever flush myself but I know everyone is different and I’m not trying to sway anyone one way or the other
