I didnt fancy a lemon haze but "identical & Stacking" are very appealing.

Prolly use the Matt Riot juice.
May just be a marketing ploy/have no idea??? Anyway going to try fem seeds from them for the first time in over12 years. I will give an honest opinion once I grow them out. So far I like Ethos gear but I have not tried their feminized seeds til now, only regs.
Growing these TLO style/do not do TDS or ppm's. As far as stretch goes, looking at 2-2.5 X, not to bad. I did not pinch or top at all. I did super crop the main stems and some of the longer branches to keep an even canopy. I am in TLO soil, probably 3rd grow with this soil. Your soil gets better with age growing TLO style.
Take it from someone who has grown more Ethos stuff over the past 2 years than anyone else on here........most have been disappointing. Not one of their strain hits the THC % marks they claim- not one. But if you are looking for a heavy yield- a lot of their strains can produce nice weight. And regarding their AlphaFem's- it's all bullshit. If anything, they produce MORE hermies, not less. As some of you know, I've moved on to others now- I'm tired of paying $100 a pack for mid grade stuff. They now remind me of GreenHouse Seeds- more about promotion and fancy advertising, less about quality breeding and high end results.

im in the same boat so what are some of the better breeders b4 i spend anymore just got some karma biker kush and some tga rasberry jelly please help ?
Have you ever run any Dankonomics Genetics gear?
Love Karma Genetics, have run many of her strains. Just finished a nice cherry pheno of "Headstash". I do like Ethos reg seeds. Just now trying his alpha feminized seeds/10th Planet, two already up growing normally. I believe the alpha feminized deal is a marketing ploy also. I will see. These Ethos "Super Lemon Haze F5 " females I have are very nice. Still have a ways to go though;says 8 to 9 weeks flower, but more like 9 to 10 weeks it looks like. At 45 days flower now. Lemon smell is awesome/much stronger than the Green house version.
I had to start a pack of the 10th Planet to fill out my current room........6 turned into mutants or runts, 4 are doing outstanding. I'm guessing that's why they give you 10 fem seeds instead of the normal 6- because Ethos is well aware of the issues. I've been running strictly Ethos stuff for the last 2 years, so I can't really offer much help with other breeders these days. I am currently running CSI-Humboldt Wifi X Bubba and am waiting on 4 packs of Obsoul33t Wifi X Aliendog Cherry, which will be up next for me.
Next up for me will be another Ethos strain, OKC or "Orange Kush Cake F1 " regular seeds. But also looking at Dark Horse "Lemon Jedi"/have the seeds and Dankonomics Le Royale strain. So many strains to try, just not enough space and time for all.

They are pretty good. Def not 30%+ thc, but most are bullshitting about that. Good terps, good buzz. Some herms and other dumb shit, but thats how fem seeds go. Oddly lacking flavor in the few that I have tried. I just planted a grape diamonds. Freebies from NECAAN. Mislabeled Gaped rbx. Im calling it that!
From what I see from only growing 3 of their regular seed strains; I like their regular beans. But the sales pitch/ ploy about ie thc percentages, etc ... is pretty bogus. Plants grow nice and most phenos produce decent weight very pretty buds but not as potent as the sales pitch claims. But I think all seed companies hype their strains for improved sales especially thc percentages.
I am just now trying their alpha feminized seeds. Got their "10th Planet" going now. Apparently this alpha feminized seed deal is also a sales ploy. I normally will not grow feminized seeds. I have never had a herm from a regular seed. I have not grown feminized plants in over 12 years so this is a trial. Had some bad experiences with herms growing from feminized strains. I have set up a small tent to keep these fem plants isolated so if I miss herms my other tents do not get pollinated. From the strains I have grown so far, i give Ethos a B score. Going to give OKC F1's regular beans from Ethos on my next run. Just need some space to open up in my tents. To many strains and not enough space or time to grow them all lol.

I'll follow your GD's with interest. I think most people are happy with ethos there appears to be a gap between some of their claims & actual results. Ethos built a following of quite serious growers who expect walk to follow talk. Hyperbole & inconsistant harvests aint good bedfellows. But, you pays your money...
Pop them beans MrB lets see what'ya find.
Happy growing!
It's really hit or miss with them. I've done 6 strains of theirs- 2 were great, 2 were not and 2 were above average. Some of their strains hermie, which is a common complaint from many people. None of the strains hit their advertised THC %, some weren't even close. I just expect more quality from $100 a pack seeds- but they do breed for yield and that's normally very good.
I posted this at another site, but copied it here........
At this point I've grown a number of Ethos's strains, all full room grows, around 24 plants each: Member Berry, Citral Glue, Zsweet Inzanity, Chem OG, Apex. I'm currently growing four 10th Planet's plus I've also grown 4 other strains of theirs (some testers), but only 1-2 plants each so it's not really fair to include them in my analysis. All Fem's. First thing to notice is Ethos really gravitates towards sativas.....there are just a few indica's in their line, all hybrids.
When I think Ethos, I think yield, not quality. Not one of their strains has hit their advertised THC %, some missed it by a mile. All but 1 strains' yield has been very good, on the high end of weight for sure. Every one was taken to 68-73 days in flowering. And hermies are in an issue in some of the strains, normally showing around the 3rd week of flowering along the main stem OR just about anywhere late in flowering. All had great bag appeal too.
So, I'm done with them basically......at $100 a pack I expect something better. I'll probably be back for the Zsweet Inzanity next year for a grow, but I'm going to do 3 straight indica runs thru the rest of this year.
