4x Ethiopian (ACE Seeds, reg.) SCROG - LED 250W - 90 x 90cm (Grow report)

[endgegner]

Also bear in mind, that the buckets and ice cream cuboids to catch the drain easily take 30cm too:

With the hempy bucket I don't need to place anything under it. But I also needed to select a bit (if you wanna call 4 plants a selection, haha).

Thank you for sharing this nice grow! Like @strain_hunter said, this is a great preview for anyone looking to grow her indoors. I've been interested in the Ethiopian as possibly a great pairing for Honduras, which I love for effect. It has been on my top 3 "next pack to grow" for far too long...

I realize this is not what you may be selecting for, but what is the nose like?

The smell reminds me a lot of Durban Poison from Dutch Passion. A popular outdoor strain for Western Europe with bad falls (like Germany or the Netherlands).
It is similar to Haze, but less pungent. It has this kind of Diesel smell (like haze strains). I personally think that Haze smells less pungent than Diesel, but similar. And this one is also like this but even less pungent than the Haze smell.
And it doesn't have liquor smell like DP but more citrus smell. Some DP phenos had a pineapple smell, but this one does not have it (at least none of mine). The citrus smell is a bit sour (like a SLH), but also fruity like a skunk.
The phenos are quite similar and there is none that shines out from the smell. But I did not directly compared them and obviously not cured them for a decent comparison.
However, #7 is significantly slower and different than the others, it may develop a different aroma later. I will let you know that for sure.

To what related, did you reply to another thread or did I miss something?

Ah I thought maybe about weight gaining , nutrition

Ah I thought maybe about weight gaining , nutrition

Well, after several months of eating a lot of fat and protein and only doing sports that is for building muscles, I was able to gain a bit of weight. Mid May I will start to skip the rope to loose weight, but also keep doing crunches to keep my muscles.

Flowering Day 76

 

[endgegner]

Plants #9, #4 and #1 got their last feeding (1 ml per 6 lt of water, so nearly nothing). Now I won't give them nutrients, but rain water, that I have collected. They have an EC of about 0.8 and the leaves are already dying off.

Plant #7 still gets a feed and has an EC of 1.2. I will remain it a bit like this and slightly lower it to no feed for the next two or three weeks.

 

[strain_hunter]

You are blessed with such a nice grow.
I can't belive, that they have some weeks to go.
Are they at maximum heigth now?
How do you know, that the plant has an EC of 1.2? Drain water or measuring in coco?

I measure the drain. Yes, they did stop their stretch at last week and I did not see any more stretch now. Pretty crazy.

Flowering Day 83

 

[endgegner]

Plants #9, #4 and #1 have an EC of 0.4 now. In a few days it will drop to 0 without any flushing.

Plant #7 still has an EC of 1.2 even though I am reducing the nutriens slightly. No need to flush too, as it will slowly decrease, too

I plan to harvest #9 and #4 next week Friday and #1 in two weeks.

#7 will stay there until week 16 unless I think it should be chopped earlier or later, but I expect not. But I will look at the trichomes if the time is right, but it should be.

 

[strain_hunter]

They are impressive. Great work.
This is your first grow of Ethopians, right?
I am interested in the kind of effects, it will produce at different harvest times and plan to chop a part of the main bud early and the rest in two more partial harvests.
Didn't find reports about different qualities.
Today I put some Ethopian seeds into soil.

 

[endgegner]

It is my first pure sativa landrace grow in general and also scorg. That is why I have underestimated the stretch and overestimated the SCROG net. Next time I will just take the best suited cutting and do a one plant SCROG.

Next time I will put one plant for flowering if I have reached this stage:

https://www.icmag.com/attachments/plants-png.18956873/

And as soon as I do another Sativa landrace selection grow, I will just keep the seed plants as mother plants and take a cutting. This will reduce the stretch a bit and then I actually have the chance of putting them into flowering early enough after determine their sex.
But this grow is not too bad. I expect a mediocre (300g) up to a quite good yield (400g), but rather calculate with 300g since I don't wanna be disappointed.

Last time I have estimated 300g with a 600w HPS but got 550g (popcorn buds and some big stemps that fell off early not included!). So maybe I am too pessimistic again, would be great, but even with 300g I am good enough and will enough for my next harvest.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
As an medical user, I want to test some plants. So I understand, that you tried to grow more plants.
I am sprouting some seeds right now and would be happy for an update
I didnt use an net till now too

Flowering Day 91

This reminds me of an primeval forest, everytime I see pictures of this plant
Not long anymore. Are trichomes already starting to become milky?

Most comes from #7 on the front left though. You will see it as soon as I harvest the two.

Probably, I didn't check with the magnifier of my iPhone yet. But they are out for 13 weeks flowering today and they are at 10/14 and had a long veg period. So I assume they should be mature by Friday or even now.
I planned to harvest #1 next week Tuesday but may give her some extra days as #7 covers most of her and when chopping down #4 and #9, I can give them both more space. So I may give her some extra days.
