My Secret Garden - GSC

CyberOtter420 Welcome Welcome.... For record though i would do a diary or two (albeit started a little late.) There will be another diary for the next grow (that will be interesting!!) but this is Girl Scout Cookies. Currently in Week 5 of flowering (Day 33) The grow areas are a bit of a work in progress. Learning along the way ive found i need to maximise head room which in a 1600 tent is no easy feat and so to acheive the most ammount of height ive had to switch from Oxypot DWCs to a custom temporary bucket after the last one finished with yet another new one for the next grow! This is actually the 3rd Grow in this area and by trial and error ive found my lights were giving an uneven distro causing an uneven canopy. This spilled over into this grow thats why she is a bit horky borky in canopy, but a new Omega light is in now, this should help with the next grow... For now ive angled it down a touch to try and reach into the back low spots. also added some suplimental Full Spec LED Bars for the lower foliage. I made a bit of a mistake with high PPFD not long after topping and it streched like one'o ... She's very agressive and has responded well to everything bar cloning, that said i have got a clone off of her it just took a hell of a long time to root. At Day 23 flower she was lollipopped having all but stopped stretching, and the home stretch is in sight now... she's fattening up by the day. The smell when disturbed is almost turkish delight in scent... rub her stems though and its a pungent musky old school skunk smell. cant wait to see her finished, never had this strain so looking forward to it. Overall a healthy looking lady not had many problems but im quite critical of the final product.

CyberOtter420 GSC Mid Week 6 Flower. (Day 40) Fatten up for daddy!!!! The odd degraded orange hair starting to appear. Trichome density is rising as it fattens up. Smells pretty consistent atm, a pronounced sweet scent. Temps daily running at 25-26c night around 19c with RH generally in the mid to late 50s. Noticed some calcium deficiency, nothing new in hydro around this time of flower so dosed a bit of CalMag in the feed, I’ll continue this for a few weeks at 1ml p/l or until I see it react/darken on the leaves, also increased the fan speed for more airflow. You can see clearly that I’m on the vertical limit with this grow. The new light is however amazing - Perfect light distribution, probably the best investment so far. It’s advertised at 200w but consumes almost 250w at 100%... That said, I’m running it at 75%, PPDF is on the limit, not seeing much in the way of bleaching or mass leaf curling. Back of the hand test feels fine. Healthy enough for the age, looking like she smells Sweet! More to follow, happy growing!

CyberOtter420 Another week gone and another week closer! Welcome to Week 7…. Some chemical changes to the terpenes over the past week and I can see why she gets her name. The sweet smell has gone completely and the area now smells creamy, and warm dough with a herby note. At day 47 she is slightly ahead of my projections. A trichome check puts me at 100% cloudy on the canopy, 95% cloudy in the mid-level and 90% cloudy (best guesses) maybe more on the extreme lower. There is also single amber dotted about on the odd sugar leaf, but not the calyxes yet. She looks about 2 weeks off… Mid swell with each cola around 2.5 - 3 inch wide. I have it at 19 days left on my planner with an ambition to hit 30% amber. Won’t be far off. Guidance for this strain is 55-60 days (from showing pistils, genes determined ofc) This thing has been a solid rocket throughout and glad I have a clone of her. Disturbed, the smell explodes of Lemon citrus notes to start then rounding off to both a citrus and I still keep saying “Rose Turkish Delight” but its not a 100% match – its reminiscent of it… more depth! Layers of flavour profiles coming through. Its very alluring and sweet. The purple continues to spread which is due to the night temps dropping to 17c, and more pistils have degraded to amber. I’ve included a photo of the lollipop, flush time will be relatively short which I have charted at Day 60 to the cut date of 65. My copilot mate reckons she may finish as soon as Day 62… Will try to get a trichome photo for the next update. I have a microscope but with bugger all image stabilization on it, its hit and miss as to seeing detail, but live I get a good enough glimpse. Not long now!
