This is my competition journal for Fastbuds iPhone give away. This journal will include : growing of plants, weekly watering guide, pictures and videos + tutorials on DIY grow room enhancements ! This is the start of another beautiful run of Fastbuds GSC. I just finished and harvested my previous soil grow - which went fantastic - be sure to check that out too! To start this run the plants were germinated using the wet paper towel method for approximately 24 hours. The germinated seeds were then placed into 1” Rockwool starters cubes. The Rockwool cubes were set started accordingly- 5.5 PH nutrient water, soaked for 30 seconds and then buried into coco 3 gal pots. I used the Perfect Coco recipe I discovered and will explain it in detail next week. I’ve kept the PH at 5.8 - which is ideal for coco. Please see the watering video for details on nutrients and dosage. Make sure to leave a like and follow me ! This time I’ve made a few upgrades : -Switched to 3gal Fabric pots with Coco Coir. -Built and assembled a true 500w COB light. (This light contains 10 CREE CXB3590s) -Built custom PVC flood tray with drainage. -Built automatic timed drip irrigation system. You will see then above items in photos and come into use over the next weeks. Since the veg weeks are kinda slow , I will provide a tutorial each week week for the upgrades I mentioned above ! Description - FastBuds Website Girl Scout Cookies is a worldwide phenomenon. As one of the best Californian strains of all time, this world-class hybrid holds a special place in our strain library. Our Girl Scout Cookies seeds have millions of fans all over the world, and we like to think we've played a roll in popularizing this amazing variety outside of the United States. It took years of R&D to recreate an autoflower GSC that does the original justice. We started with two stellar phenotypes of the original Girl Scout Cookies strain and created an autoflowering version of the legendary GSC genetics. The result is an indica-dominant hybrid autoflower and with enough sativa traits to keep the couch-lock away. Like baking cookies, growing this strain is easy, but requires time and attention. Your childhood wishes have all finally came true: cookies now do grow on trees. GSC stands out as one of the brightest and most exotic varieties to date. It's a true masterpiece and well worth the price. Want a cookie? Effects - My Personal Experiences GSC is one of my favourites , along with probably a couple million other smokers. There is something special about it. GSC provides a very good high. It is mainly useful for Improving mood, Euphoria and Relaxing. From a medical stand point GSC is best suited for stress, although it can also help with depression or mild aches due to the euphoria and mood elevation. The genetics from fast buds don’t disappoint and the flowers are superb .. I can’t wait to try this batch in coco. -TheWeedMan

As a first time coco coir grower what are some things to look out for or make sure to do? This is my 3rd growing experience, my previous two grows were done in soil. So I’m not a complete noob. Please provide a good break down on the coco coir growing experience for me.

Dude - no reach out on this? I found it on a browse and I’ve been thinking on a Pure GSC strain for a while now! Both ironic and Sweet! Will follow. Now with respect to coco - IMO it’s not much different from soil but I trust you’ve already seen that it’s got much better drainage properties. The key difference is it’s nutrient holding power in relation to soil as well as appropriate supplementation of the nutrients that soil has, that coco lacks (ie. calmag). As long as you supplement for the first month or so with calmag and keep a close eye out for nutrient burn (go easy/not full strength with nutrient formula for first run) it should be very similar to a soil grow. That’s the best I got for ya. Made the switch to coco myself because I like hand watering but would prefer a slightly faster growth rate. Cheers broski and looking forward to this one growing out!!!👊👍

Your plants look great. The only thing I believe you should improve is training: a more agressive use of LST and super cropping to keep the plant squat. Good luck mate.

What are your thoughts on these plants ? Do you have experience putting the plants in a prolonged dark period for 24-72 hours before harvest? If so, what happened? Does this method improve the quality of the final product ?

hey man, there's a lot of FUD about the dark period, basically the main idea is that there's little you can do in the last 48 hours of a 3 month grow that will do something significant on the grow overall. but the dark period for sure has some benefits, for example a dark period before the chop means less photosynthesis chemicals present for the dry + cure. Second the dark period will boost the creation of terpenes. some say it's good for thc, but trychomes take 2 weeks or more to really make THC, so that"s FUD. second thing is that on planet earth it's almost never dark for two days straight, anything really more than 24H and for sure 48H will start messing with the trychomes and they could oxidise which is bad because you loose that much in potency. Hope this clears this up a bit, good luck ! 🚀

October 17th, 2018. Today is the day Prohibition on Cannabis has ended in Canada. As a Canadian citizen, I can purchase cannabis from the store and legally grow plants in my residence for personal consumption. This is a great day for Canadians and the world ..! I hope the other major countries follow our lead in next few years! 😎

Really nice yield and beautiful buds!! As for the bubble hash, if you don't have the washing machine, I'm telling you its grueling work. I only have 1 gallon bags, but even with 5gallon, its gonna suck. Might I suggest you research the dry ice method? It looks like it pulls a lot more out than the bubble hash with ice water. Also, you can use same bags for it. Less work, higher return. Good luck, awesome grow!!

@TheBudWhisperer, should be an interesting experiment! The new COB led lights should also prove interesting ... not many examples out there but from what I’ve read/seen the results have been spectacular ! It’s gonna be 10 Cree CXB3590 COBs (Best COB LEDs) @3500K run at 50w each. Should provide over 1200 PPFD in flowering .. I believe cannabis maxes out at around 1000 PPFD so I could even add on CO2 down the road ..!
