Over the last year our state's medical program (OH) ... I was finally able to sample all the "top" strains ... and I've learned that some of the best strains are mixes from Girl Scout Cookies ... I really don't know what the genetics are for this strain (FastBuds doesn't have that info available) ... but I'm hoping she's a true GSC ... those, along with Wedding Cake strains, seem to be my faves. Update 1: After the initial two week cure, I took out a few buds to sample. Those have lasted a while, because ... sadly ... it just isn't very potent ... doesn't have much of a smell or taste (good or bad). As for the buzz .... noticeable, but barely. This had a very "clear" buzz - not very distracting, if you know what I mean. Good for morning/daytime use, but doesn't really get the juices flowing when I want to be creative or immerse myself in something (games/shows/etc) I don't blame the seeds/strain/breeder ... the plant had to deal with several issues and stressors that surely led to sub par flowers. It was essentially one of my first ever plants, so I'm learning as I go - plus, my tolerance will even out as I drop away from the 29-30% stuff I was getting at the dispensaries. I have 4 more seeds of this strain, and I'm sure I'll give it another shot when I can do the genetics justice by at least knowing how to feed them properly ;) ps. I will wait another month and let it cure more - give an update later on - maybe it'll improve a tad (fingers crossed)

Reviews. Lamp
Overall ... very nice light. The built-in "timer" (with their Mars Hydro app) doesn't work very well ... it kept forgetting the schedule and reverting to always on - or off ... screwed up the light for the first few days until I ordered a regular plugin timer. It's also a super potent light ... going by the usual "12 inches from the tops" - results in sunburn or bleaching. I moved the lights further away and decreased intensity a bit .... 18-24 inches during flower (36 from seed) ... 80% power.
Reviews. Tent
I got the 8x4 tent so that I'd have more room ... not necessarily for more plants, but for myself and all the other equipment that's meant to be in there (fans, heaters, humidifiers, etc). I have room to sit on either side of the tent and tend to the plants (I have a bad back, so sitting was always a necessity). One thing missing from my tent were straps from the main doors to the velcro on the side. Not sure if they were missing on my model - or just something they didn't add. I had to add my own straps to keep the doors open.

This Gorilla Cookies was pretty easy to grow ... luckily, since it's the first plant I've grown in years. I was seeing preflower by day 21 ... stayed pretty short .. LST seemed to go fine. She looks very frosty ... I'm very excited to sample these buds after a long slow dry and cure. I will post the dry weight next week after she's dry and trimmed! Update: It made it exactly 1 week (7 days) for smaller branches to "snap" (first few days were 65F 65% RH, but the last couple days the RH dropped to 55%) ... buds were quick trimmed (mostly just be running my fingers over the outside to pull off the drier leaves). Everything sealed up in grove bags for now ... will check on them periodically Total Dry: 118g (4.1oz)
