GLOOKIES! NEW!

6/26/19 Hello and thank you for your interest! I am sooooo excited to try this strain out. It has the best of the both worlds; Gorilla Glue x Girl Scout Cookies Thin Mint. These strains are my favorites in the world of indicas. It is by Barney's Farm and I trust that their genetics are a top notch. THC is supposed to be 25% but we'll see. I germinated it today and sprinked Xtreme Mykos. They are the best and roots boost like no other. PLAN OF CARE: 1) I plan to vegetate this baby for about 2 months under a 250W (True Watt) COB/CREE. 2) During flower, I will transition her into a 450W (TW) COB/CREE. 3) She will ultimately be sitting under either 5 or 7 gallon air pot.

7/3/19 Slow week, not much to report. Just a little teddy bear for now. I've starting her with some light dose of b-52 by Advanced Nutrients to start feeding and promote root growth.

7/12/19 Glookie is doing well and she's very healthy. Gave her some fresh nutes today which included cal mag, micro and grow. I don't have much to report at this time.

7/21/19 Chill week, I topped her and then started LST. She looks kinda funny right now but I have a feeling she'll be a stretcher. The nodes are really thin and gapped. She's responding to LST very well so far and liking the nutrients I am giving her. I added a little bit of bloom this week 2ml/gal, because she does need some P. I've also noticed some pale leave on the bottom. I will watch that and see if it'll get any worse but so far they're not spreading. Today, I will transfer her to a 5 Gal airpot. That will be the final pot. Thank you all for taking interest in this grow. I will try to make it as interesting as possible.

7/27/19 Upped cal mag by an ml/gallon and that raised my ppm from 500 to 550. That's some heavy stuff right there but it seems that the plant may need it. I've transplanted her to a 5 gallon air pot and sprinkled 2 tsp of xtreme mycorrhizae on the 21st. I did not put any perlite. This pot has just straight up canna coco. Within several days, I've noticed that the roots were shooting out of the bottom. The roots grow really fast here but I'm not sure if it's necessary a good thing that they're shooting out of the bottom. I am not sure if it is because of the mycorrhizae but DAMN they grew like weeds (get it? :)) ) I will vegetate her for another 2-4 weeks before transitioning her into flowering. I've been having to readjust the LST ties every day to spread the main stems out more horizontally before I find it suitable for vertical growth.

8/5/19 She is looking more beautiful and sexy every day. The middle of the plant has caught up with the horizontal growth. So it's time for me to decide - should I flip it or should I let it grow some more??! I think I will let it grow for about another 2 weeks or so. Next week, I will use Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow Coco line instead of Micro, Grow, and Bloom. Other than that, she is doing amazing. Roots have grown more on the bottom and I think it's too much. Also, every time I water the plants, I find springtails lurking around the bottom. But they are not harmful and an indication of healthy ecosystem. They disappear once the bottom dries.

8/14/19 Welcome back folks! Since the last week, I've listened some of you and have defoliated the top and within a few days, new tops have caught up. I am watering/feeding this plant once every week and she drinks exactly 2 full gallons of liquid. I plan to flip her to flowering in about another week or so because my flowering tent is still full. But hey, this is a good practice because I am trying to get the most out of this plant. So far she's doing absolutely amazing and not much to report at this time. Thank you for all your interests and follows.

8/21/19 Finally switched to flowering! Here we go folks! I’m having to water this baby once every 4-5 days now. She is still taking in 2 full gallons and I get about a cup and half worth of drainage. I have this baby sitting under 2 x 240W COB by Hipargero. 480W true watts and they are kept so cool, my tent sits under 78 degrees when the lights are on and my house sits at 76F. It’s amazing. My grow tent is 4x5x8 and it’s sharing with 2 plants which will be taken down soon. I’ve switched my nutrient lining to AN Sensi Grow Coco. I will update on how this nutrient is but the science behind it is simply the reason why I use this. I understand why I need to use 2 parts; both grow and bloom. Especially in coco coir, npk ratio needs to be a little bit more specific. I apologize for the pictures this time, I had to use my iPhone XS.

8/30/19 Hello and thanks for your patience! This girl is doing ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. She thirsts for so much water, I am having to give 2 gallons of water twice a week and she just gulps through it. I think she's almost done stretching because I am seeing her pistils becoming more prominent. Man, I love how she grows and handles all the LSTs without any issues. She is definitely a bushy girl like Gorilla Glue strain. Be warned though, she loves calcium and magnesium, as I had trouble giving lack of it earlier this grow. I think I dialed the nutrients right in, fingers crossed. Also this week, Hurricane Dorian may come and impact us directly. It also means we will most likely have power outages which is detrimental for the plants. But overall our safety and our foundation. Good luck to the fellow growers out there with the similar situation, whether you live in the Bermuda Triangle area or near the Bahamas, and Florida. GOOD LUCK. Pray for us for safety.

9/10/19 Thanks for your patience.. it has been 11 days since the last update. So I am almost at week 4 of flowering. Man... This girl is BUSHY. I did not lollipop but I did defoliate slightly. She’s definitely a thirsty girl. She’s in her own tent now but that’ll be short lived. She’s under a 360 true watt hipargero COB. Really like their lights and keeps it very cool. Thank you all for your interest and I hope I continue to interest with this diary.

9/18/19 Hi and welcome. How do you guys like the progress so far? I’ve had nothing but good experiences with her so far. In fact, I think I will grow Glookies again but this time in DWC. This 5 gallon pot is too small for this baby. She gets totally dry within 3-4 days and even 2 gallons of water is not enough to have good drainage. Lesson learned. She is also super bushy. I’ve been constantly defoliating her to keep her in check and also have lollipopped slightly on the bottom but I feel that I should lollipop her a bit more aggressively this week. She thrives perfectly fine between 77-82F. However, my indoor temp reaches 81.3F sometimes and she holds on fine. I really like Glookies. She also demands nutrients a lot. I’m at 10ml/gallon right now; about 3/5 of recommended dose. I think she will be ready in a month... I hope.

9/25/19 What an insane plant. I am now giving her 3 gallons of feeding every 4 days. When I defoliate the bottom, I think I stressed the plant because one of the top bud’s color changed. I know it’s not light burn because the other bud sites did not do that. Other than that I’ve dropped her feeding to 8ml/gallon from 10ml/gallon. I am seeing some nute burns as well. She’s enjoying the 4x5x8 grow tent. I have 2 x 240W COBs on and the plant is sharing along with 2 x Glueberry OG by Dutch Passion and 2 x White Widow by RQS. I deleted the other diaries because I got too lazy and was too much for me to update them. I really appreciate every one’s support on this plant. Thank you.

10/3/19 Hello guys and welcome back. We are technically in week 6 of flowering. I can tell the buds are going to be thick and sticky when they are done. Not much of smell at this time unless you touch it, it has a smell of Sativa orange-ish? In the picture she look a bit droopy but I took the pictures right after giving her 3 gallons of feed. I’ve been feeding her twice a week, and I’m the first feeding I give her 2 gallons and then the second, 3 gallons. The buds are getting heavy enough to the point where the stems are bending out of the structure. This is kind of annoying because I can’t use a scrog net at this point so I’ve been tucking them in between the main sites. I can’t wait for this girl to be done. Thanks guys and see you next week!

10/9/19 Hello and welcome back. This week has been rough because many of the buds tipped over from getting too heavy. Due to this reason, I had to stick some bamboo sticks and got them supported with plant ties. It took me about 30 mins to get it all done. She smells like tangy citrus soda and it is very strong now. I’d definitely drink her if she was a drink haha. I think she will give me about 4-6oz total.

10/18 Where do I start....? THIS GIRL IS MASSIVE. Majority of the buds are almost the size of my fist. I have about 2 weeks left I believe. So she has more to bud up. She resembles nothing like GSC nor GG. But what it reminds me is Jack Herer. Her smell definitely reminds me of it. Her aroma is minimum unless you touch it and then she smells like some Sativa dominant bud. I am so impressed with this strain and grow. From now on, I will take high quality pictures for the last final weeks including harvest. Thank you so much for your views and likes guys. I really appreciate this. It makes me want to do better.

10/27/19 Flushed her yesterday with some FloraKleen and ph'd RO water. I will give her a week before chopping down. I am very excited for the end lol. I hope you guys enjoy the pictures. Cheers.

11/25/19 HELLO GUYS! The journey is finally over! Thank you all so much for taking interest in this diary by liking, following, and commenting throughout the grow. It has been a pleasure. I waited about 4 weeks before posting because I wanted to tell you how they are after drying for a week and curing for about 3 weeks. They smell extremely piney and feel very sticky. That is literally all I can say. Every time I smell it, I feel like I am out in a forest smelling fresh air. My yield was 129.9 grams. That is about 4.5 ounces which is the most I have gotten out of a single plant so far in my experience. I am very happy and proud to say that. I also have about another 60 grams of trim and I am also curing them for later purposes. What I have learned during this grow is that simplicity matters the most. I have learned to use very little amount of nutrients and with technicality too. I have concluded that growing one to two plants at a time and truly focusing on them makes them much bigger than growing many small plants in a limited space. This strain is very easy to grow and easy to train. Very very easy to train and therefore forgiving. I used to smoke by burning but now I only vaporize. It gave me too much coughing so I had to switch. But the taste is very potent and very piney. High is very potent, I mean I have been smoking for many years but damn this shit is potent. I need to stop smoking in the morning because I get so lazy, all I want to do is play Death Stranding or Call of Duty. Haha, thanks all and happy growing!
