So many breeders say that triploids are the future.

I’m curious how they perform in hydro compared to diploid plants.

If you have grown them, did anything stand out?

Growth rate, structure, yield, stability, or final quality?

This is only my 2nd grow. green crack hydro using a 27 gal tub.

Monday 10/19 will be the start of 8th week of flower. She really slowed on taking nutrients, but she's not ready for harvest. Maybe another week? 2? She's still growing new pistols, although I hear that may be normal for GC. The trichomes are still mostly clear. She doesn't look healthy, and even with a light feed her ec and ppm are eractic. I think it needs to be flushed. And maybe not give her anymore nutrients? I would really hate to lose her at this point. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have no idea what the issue here is! Temperature 73-78F humidity 50-60 RH. Water temp 65-68F PH is 5.8. The larger plant was stretching when I had it in the seedling tray, but hasn’t seemed to stretch anymore. Doesn’t seem to be happy. The smaller one seems to be okay, but the color of the seedling doesn’t seem right. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Apex R1 by ETHOS Genetics, grown in coco/perlite.

This plant was incredibly vigorous from the start, stretching hard through flower with some crazy internodal spacing before filling out a canopy of nicely sized flowers.

She finished with a vibrant, almost candy-like appearance. Lavender and magenta mixed with bright greens, copper/orange pistils, and little amber-gold accents beneath a nice coating of resin. The nose is bright citrus, pine needles, and mandarin peel up front, followed by fuel and a softer lemon cookie/lemon cake sweetness underneath. 🍊🍋⛽️

Really enjoyed this expression. Beautiful colors, wild flower structure, and a great citrus/fuel terpene profile.
