It’s finally here. The last week..! All of my hard work and commitment to these ladies is about to reward me with some super sticky flowers! And lots and lots of them by the looks of it... These buds look unreal, it looks like amazing quality flowers all over these girls. It’s dense buds that are coated in trichomes and resin. The flowers came out a bit more dense on this grow compared to my previous soil/HPS run, which I find surprising. This could be due to a variety of improvements within the garden but I’m going to attribute most of it to my increasing horticulture skills. The flowers also smell so damn amazing.. it’s a very dank minty skunk coming off the GSC. This batch of flowers came out smelling like the best I’ve grown yet. The smell is overpoweringly dank and I wish I could share it with you all ; words cannot express the joy received from smelling these flowers. I’m really impressed with the Fastbuds genetics. I’m super excited to give these the flush this week, truthfully the flush started a few days ago on these girls. I’m also going to try the “Dark Period” before the final harvest on these plants. There is much debated subject of giving plants a 24-48 hour dark period before the final harvest. Some growers swear by this method to improving trichomes with a final taste and smell increase, other growers say it does nothing. I’m going to give it a shot and leave these ladies in complete darkness for 1-2 days prior to harvest and see if it improves anything. Yes there will be before and after pictures to document any visual improvement if any appears. This run of GSC came out much better looking than my previous soil run, I think “I’m in love with da coco!” 🎶(maybe that’s what the song is really about?) Im very lucky to live in Canada 🇨🇦. It is legal here to cultivate cannabis for personal consumption, prohibition on cannabis ended here on October 17th, 2018. 🌲 I really enjoy growing cannabis, to me it is such a pleasure to nurture and care for these plants. The ultimate reward is watching them flourish into something beautiful. It’s very rewarding to grow your own cannabis and know exactly what is in your medicine. It is a time consuming hobby but the efforts are definitely worth the work in my humble opinion. Tutorials we’ve covered: Week 2 - The Perfect Coco Coir Week 3 - The Easy LST Week 4 - The Best Watering table Week 5 - An Auto Watering system Week 6 - LED COB frame build Week 7 - LED COB electrical work Week 8 - LED COB specifications Stay tuned for the final harvest update! Enjoy the pictures and videos! Hoping for a very green Christmas! -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! 😎

@@@@TheWeedMan, just on the papers in reality its hard to get a description .. or find a doctor that describes... or beeing allowed to grow your own medical.... i dont know any... person who gets medical weed personlly only hearing of them its ha rd and long process for the persons who medically need it the weed is coming from canada, because german medical growers dont exist because of the law. you have to show 2 years of expereience in industrial growing before getting a license for industrial growing.. and so on

Do you prefer the cob over hps? I've seen some awesome yields from growers using cob lighting.

@BeefWellingtons, thanks bro! Even 1 or 2 plants it’s still good.. it’s all about growing your own! Yeah I pretty much got a maxed out 4x4x7 tent. The only other thing I could add would be like CO2 but I don’t think I’m gonna do that. Seems like too much work for a hobby grower.. goodluckin getting the bigger grow area man! 😎👊🏻

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 ..!
