Soaked the seed in water for 18 hours. Then placed it in Damm paper towel and covered with zip lock bag. Tap roots we're about 5/8 inches after 48 hours. Then I placed her in my presoaked soilless mix and covered with clear cup to keep humidity high. So far this strain looks better than the white widow I planted. Could it be that breeder is more reliable? Wow..... I'm impressed only 24 hours in Coco and she's already peaking out. I planted her about 1/2 inch deep. From day 2to day 4 there's no growth. The tiny leaves looks like they're burnt. IDK what's going on. Day 6.... I see new growth (some green) I don't know what caused this seedling to be this way. Everything was good from the start. Hopefully she recovers soon. Added some co2 to the tent. Day 7....I seed the 2nd set of leaves which is a good thing. We'll see what the second week brings.😊
Seed started off fine. Germinate well, half inch tap root, placed in 3 gal. pot. 12 hours after she broke surface and that was it. At day 2 no new growth. Noticed the two leaves have brown on the tips. Temps are 75-80, humidity is at 60% and only use 6ph water. Help....
She's bouncing back slowly. Hope she recovers by the end of this week. But the good thing is that she's still alive. Gave her a real feeding at day 10. We'll see how she reacts to this feeding. Last day of week 2. She's doing well. She bounced back from week one. Hopefully week 3 will be better 😊
Week 3, she's answering very well to the nutrients. Hopefully she keep it up. I put the grow light to 24 inches, hopefully she gets taller than my other grow. I'll post more pictures during the week. Day 19..... she's looking good. I would like to do some LST but she's a little too short. Maybe she be ready in week 4.
Day 22. She took the little LST very well. Gave her a full flush today with simple ph6.0 water. When the pot dries up I'll start feeding her with some more nutrients. Day 26.... Fixed the pH issue this week. She's doing well but I think next week I'll give her a little more nutrients to see how she reacts. She's doing well on day 27. She responds very well with the tucking of her big leaves. I will definitely fill my 3 gallon pots a lot more on my next grow because it's very difficult to water or even lst these plants. There's a lot of side shoots on this plant which I'm happy about. I'm happy with her growth. As you can tell from my other grow this one is doing way better.
hey Jaggie, it's okay to defoliate, but what may be just plucking some leaves for you for the plant it's actually HST, most of the time it's not necessary or worth it to defoliate because the plant simply needs those leaves to absorb light, plus you don't yet know which leaves will become branches during the flower stretch... I would definitely wait before defoliation maybe see if there are any small flower nodes down the branch that will stay small, if you remove those small flower nodes it will make the other flowers bigger but if you defoliate i guess it will only shock or stunt the plant. hope this helps ! 🚀
New week, I hit her with a little extra nutrients and she responded very well. She's growing well in my eyes, she could be a little taller but I'll live with that. I have a little problem with a low pH runoff. I'll probably give her a flush with plain water on day 30 to try to get her back up to a 6.2. Day 30....gave her a feeding today and trim about 4 or 5 of her old leaves. Day 31...I saw a single white hair👌. She's doing well, she's been growing at least 1 inch every day. I'm happy and so is she. Day 32....this plant is growing really well. I'm just amazed, she's almost tall than my other grow, with a lot of side shoots. I did one lst on her about 1 week ago and that was it, I also defoliated a few leaves. She got the same nutrients as my other grow. She'll be a monster. Day 34.... flushed with pH 6.0 plain water. I still can't figure out the deficiency I see on her leaf. If anyone can answer feel free to comment. Thanks. Day 35....last day of the week. I gave her a feeding today, she drank a whole gallon, I used half the amount of nutrients than i have listed for this week. I'll pay close attention to see if she's asking for more.
So we're at flower stage. This girl is growing really well. She's almost as big as the white widow. Her stem system looks really good. I have no complains. I'm adding @advancednutrients to my grow. I gave her a feeding today (36) of just voodoo juice and Nirvana and pH to 5.9. I'll keep you guys posted during the week. Thanks to all the people that answer my questions especially @spinnergrow. He's an educated guy.
Day 37..... Gave her a feeding today of 2l with nutrients. I also gave her a haircut. I've been getting different answers about defoliating autos. So there you go I tried it. We'll see what happens. Day 38....not much to say about today but it doesn't seem like the defoliation harmed her. Last day of first week in flower day 42......thus plant is going to be a monster. I love it😁. I got some explosive growth with the last few days. She's growing really fast and nice.
Week 2 of flowers started, gave her a nutrients feeding. She's loving life. This plant is going to be much bigger than my first grow. I'm excited, I'm using half the amount of nutrients suggested on the bottles. I don't know if it's the breeder or the nutrients. But I'll continue doing what I'm doing. I'll post more pictures during the week. Why are the white hairs already starting to get brown?
Day44.....this plant keeps growing, I'm getting worried lol. She's actually 24inches tall and there are buds everywhere 😊. Day 46....seems like she eased up on the vertical growth. I guess it time to fatten up.
Day 47......thank God I didn't do 2 gsc plants. I would have definitely needed a dehumidifier. She's doing very well, I have no complains. I hope she will be ready to harvest in 3week because I will be going out of town for at least 4 days and she drinks at least a gallon in 2 days. Lat day of week 2 of flower day 48..... she's doing very well and keeps growing. Finished up this week with a nice fat feeding. Can't wait to see these buds swell up, I think I might end up having to support her buds.
Week 8 starts, she's doing well. She's all over the place and needs to be tamed lol. I will definitely do a trellis net on my next grow. Been looking at some videos with trellis nets and most of them are saying it's too late to do it. So I guess she'll be a wild out of control plant. I just hope that her stems won't break with the weight of her buds. Day 51... Cleaned her up a little, will shoot down to the supply store and pick up a few things to stabilize her buds a bit. Feed her today with lighter nutrients. Day 54..... she's doing well, this plant is already sticky as hell, she smells really good. Seems like she stop growing vertically, she's 35 inches tall. I also noticed that she's starting to fatten up a little. Trichomes are everywhere on this plant, I just love it. Day 56......looks like she got a little nutrient burn, the leaves tips are a brown. I will start off week 9 with a nice flush. There are also a few dull spots on some leaves, I'll have to do some research to find out what deficiency it is.
Is it too late to put in a trellis net in my tent?if so, is there anything I can do so my buds won't touch the light because it seems like this plant wants to touch it and she keeps growing. Will she ever stop growing vertically?
woah what an absolute beast , and this for gens reputed to be short and stocky. Next time you can SCROG but main thing is to watch that lamp to plant distance bro ! she's got legs on her though, i'll give you that ! I know this isn't the answer you're looking for but there's nothing you can do by now. One thing i will say about trellis nets is that i've seen plants basically not give a hoot and push forth like it was nothing, i'm trying to coat some metal chicken wire in some plastic coating , that's what i'll be using to thread my ladies through. I've seen folks get better yields SCROGing one plant than SOGing 6 so yeah looking forward to this, and for your next time, so should you ! Good news is that the GSCs stop growing end of week 8, you're at the end basically, she'll start to buff out and should be ready in 2 weeks ! Sorry for the tough answer, but it's the truth ! hope this helps ! 🚀
Week 9, day 57.... started this week with a feeding of pH 6.0 plain water. Hope she start to fatten up really soon. I'm going to take it a little light with the feeding this week because I gave her some nutrient burn.i also noticed some of her older leaves are getting a little yellow, is that something I should worry about? Day 58..... she's ok, took a few pictures of her leaves that has those dull spots. Hopefully someone can lead me in the right direction. I see very little progress with her buds swelling. I do have a heater in my tent which is right next to this plant(not facing or touching) and I was reading about heat stress, could it be that she's this tall because of it? I did switch around my 2 plants in the tent. I'll monitor and let you guys know in a few days. Day 59.....this plant is really big, she's taking up more than half of my tent. About the deficiency, I don't know exactly what it is but I tested the ppm runoff and it's about 3500 which is really high. I honestly never tested the ppm of my feedings. She's going to get a nice flush and I'll be monitoring my ppm from now on. He buds do seem to be fattening up slowly but it's noticable every day. Day 60.....well her leaves are looking better but you can see the nutrient burn on the tips. This plant looks very different from the rest of @fast_buds girl scout cookies. I just hope she swell up before she's ready to harvest. Day 61......took a look at her trichomes and to me they look milky. I don't know if her buds will get any bigger. 😥. Day 63......last day of week 9, gave her pH 6.0 plain water today. Took a macro shot of her trichomes, let me know what you guys think.
Week 10....day 64, she's doing well. Now she got the whole tent to herself. Feeding her a lot lighter nutrients. I notice that her buds are swelling up a bit which is a good thing. Her runoff pH is a 6.0 and her ppm runoff is about 1200. Seems like she's a sativa dominant so I'll let her live until her trichomes start turning amber. I'm in no rush.
Day 66.....she drinks one gallon of water every 2 day. The last day she got a watering was day 64 and today she started drooping down. Hope she looks better in a few hours. Day 68....gave her a small nutrients feeding of 800 ppm. To me it looks like she's gaining some weight. I don't know what to say about this plant, is it really a girl scout cookies or something else? I need answers 😭
Week 11.....on day 69 the temperature in the grow room went down to 27 degrees Fahrenheit (can't tell how long it stayed there). Woke up to the plant looking droopy. My heater failed and had to run to the hardware store for a new one. Got the temperature up slowly. But she's still good.
Day 75.....had another issue with the heat today, seems like the extension cord was the problem. Also took a few trichomes shots and I do see milky with some amber. Let me Know what you guys think.
Week 12. Day 78....well it's coming to an end for this girl. Cut off all nutrients and just feeding with plain pH 6.0 water since day 76. He leaves are starting to change colors. Ppm is down to low 800. I'll post more pictures during the week. Day 81....she got water today, I've been feeding her 2 gallons every 2days for the longest and she was happy with that. She also had freezing temps more than once and she's still doing well. Leaves are starting getting yellow and I also noticed some purpling of some of the upper leaves and stem. I've been busy lately but I promise my next grows I will be 💯. Day 83.....gave her another 2gallon feeding today of plain pH 5.8 tap water. A lot more leaves are getting yellow. I did notice some of her caylx are turning a little purple, this is excitement to me. I'll let her run a few more days and then it's chop down time. Curious to see how much she yield.
Week 13...day 85....this is definitely the last week for this girl. The whole plant is getting purple. My pictures don't do justice 😭. I might just chop her down during this week. Smell is amazing 😍👌
Day 88...... she'll be harvested tonight. She's all done. 😊
Day 89..... decided to chop her down, I'm using my tent to dry her because I really didn't like the diy drying box I made and besides this plant won't fit in there. Will be back in about a week with the dry weight, didn't want to do a wet weigh because there's a lot of stems. Besides that this was a fastbuds....girl scout cookies and I looks nothing like it, I'm still satisfied with the way this plant looks and smells. I'm still learning and hopefully my next grow would be better.
The growth was exactly how I expected it because fastbuds have some great reviews. But I wasn't expecting my buds to turn out this way. They look more like a Dr. Grinspoon strain.
Seed was soaked in plain tap water for about 18 hours, placed in damp paper towel then in ziplock bag. Germinated very quickly. First few days in Coco coir I had a little issue the growth was stunted. After the first week from germination this plant really took off. Started feed nutrients at about day 17 from germination then boy she started shooting for the sky. Growth was excellent but I noticed she kept growing, I always had to raise the grow light when I finally ran out of space. She was about 35 inches tall. I also noticed that her buds wasn't looking like the other girl scout cookies strains I've seen. She was chopped Dow at day 88 when her trichomes were 75/25 (milky/amber). I'll post more pictures during the week. 6 days of drying with temperature at 62°f and humidity was around 40% for the first 3 days, then I put a wet towel in the tent and it bumped up to 58%. She dried well. The smell is 100% noticable...and smells so good. I am very happy with this grow even though she's looking like a weirdo. Her total weight was 74.8 grams which isn't bad at all in my eyes. Tasted it today.....2 days cure in jar.... smells like sweet flowers but taste like cookie dough. Smoked .5 of a gram and boy it creeped up on me. Smooth burn and white ashed. Thanks fastbuds
I'm tempted to say that the best humidity range is around 58/62% in the jar ( based on the boveda humidity packs ) , don't know about the exact temps, just that you need to keep the jar in the dark and cool place. You open your jar daily during the 1st week ( 5-15min ) then every 2 or 3 days during the 2 next weeks then once a week during 5 min will be enough 😊
@Frosty_farm to answer the question its never to late to use the Scrog to hold plants down from the light. It is however to late to use it for the main purpose of creating individual colas and an even canopy for even growth. You can use a scrog right to lower the plant from the light to prevent problems, but your buds size wont be effected like in a typical scrog.
@Frosty_farm, sticks and ties is what i used to hold her up, trellis is to hold her down, some folks use netting to hold up the plant, but only because they're scrogging all wrong lol... what i can say right now though is that if you get some lights on all sides , she's liable to get mf fat and she'll need support for damn sure lol
@CRiSPrGrow, I do have about (4) cheap one foot square led panels that I can place around her. Maybe I'll try it out. I really do feel that I need to put a trellis on her to hold her up.
@Frosty_farm,It is a good reason to do it ! Can I qsk you what is your light and what is the side of your grow space ? I think that the result is really good , the plants stays shorts and bushy so the light seems to do the job and with that space I would try to scrog but it can be tricky to water after that
@OutForReal, I did defoliate some leaves about a week ago and it didn't seem to bother her. I was thinking to do a few more leaves because I would send down the humidity level a bit in the tent.
To answer your question:
You can put the trellis, but it will not help you at this point and yes there's something you can do: super cropping, that is taking a still pliable stem between your thumb and forefinger and firmly press until you hear/ feel a crunch; the skin will remain undamaged and you will be able to bend the branches / top in 90°. I've done it thorough flowering when facing similar issues. Good luck
@Frosty_farm, no it will not affect the plant or the yield. The plant will start righting itself after 4 to 5 days. Actually you will have to tie it down to hold it in a bent position.
@@Athos, if I do super crop, will it affect the plant? Because it's an autoflower. And also if I do super crop I would definitely need to put a trellis?
@Wicked_Stix, I honestly didn't have any issue with them. To me they work, they have to be a little higher your plants and it requires your growing temperature to be just a little bit hotter
@Frosty_farm, you got it bro, just never seen a GSC beast like this, never seen a GSC pheno like this, probably the lights kinda... f-ed it up somehow !
@CRiSPrGrow, looks like a Dr grinspoon strain. I will let her ride until her trichomes start getting amber since she has sativa characteristics. Then again I have no idea what I'm doing lol, so if anyone has advice feel free to message me on this so called girl scout cookies.
That looks like it has a lot of ruderalis in it also sativa oh, I'm going the same strain now and buds are very dense plant is short and stocky but with hybrid leaves more on the sativa side a little bit skinny good job demand it was a beast of a plan I would have lollipop to a little more and I don't know if you gave any microbes like recharge or great white to the soil with a couple on organic amendments with this plant does very well with this
@rypat1992, a few days into flower I realized that it wasn't going to be like the other gsc. I I also noticed that she was stretching fast, at least 35 inches tall. I didn't use microbes, all I used was floramicro, florabloom, and the advanced nutrients line for coco. She was a monster of a plant, good root and stalk. Just wish she buds were more compact because it was a bitch to trim. Looks like she is 100% sativa. The smell is amazing and and very sticky
Looking good man you're off to a great start I imagine she's going to start flowering for you anytime ! Sending her lots of positive vibes so she kicks ass and takes some names !!
-Happy Growing!
Your girls growing vry dense and the nodes are very close together, rise your light, so that they have to stretch, and the distances between the nodes will enlarge . In that stage its difficult to see anything and i wont tuck away any leave try first to give more distance from plant to light
my tent is only 63 inches high. I did put my grow light to the highest spot for about a week but she didn't stretch. I'm running a 300watt and a 600watt led in this little tent. I think these plants are too happy with the lights and they don't want to stretch.
Hey! Good luck with growing. I'm growing GSC too, with same nutrients, so you can check my diary for some information. Feel free to ask any question. Peace 👽.
those young girls are very sensitive. as Athos said, maybe you hurt her while planting the Seedin the soil. I think we will see changes in a few days. i hope to the better Side
hey Jaggie, it's okay to defoliate, but what may be just plucking some leaves for you for the plant it's actually HST, most of the time it's not necessary or worth it to defoliate because the plant simply needs those leaves to absorb light, plus you don't yet know which leaves will become branches during the flower stretch... I would definitely wait before defoliation maybe see if there are any small flower nodes down the branch that will stay small, if you remove those small flower nodes it will make the other flowers bigger but if you defoliate i guess it will only shock or stunt the plant. hope this helps ! 🚀
