I will update after cure and smoke. Looks freaking awesome...two phenos. Day 97...(end of week 14 tomorrow)...chopped all 4 day 94...last water with nutes day 87...went dark 48 hours before chop. Hanging in my grow cabinet minus the light...small clip fan low for circ. Good air exchange through passive lightbox with hepa filter, 4” inline and carbon filter runs 24/7. RH 43 temp 66F. Checked out roots during the first sunny afternoon in forever on the 3rd coast. They were root bound but no sign of root issues. I took a shot of all before hanging...all very frosty, sticky and smelly. Making a list of adjustments for grow #2.
Day 104 (end of week 15 tomorrow). 9 days drying in the grow cabinet (minus the light)...trim day. First grow...first harvest...first dry...first trim...first cure. Two main GSC phenos...purple round buds and longer green spears. I also got another pheno on the green which is bit fluffier but with a super thick covering of red hairs. Stats GSC 1A purple 38 grams; 1C purple 38 grams (both purple the same yield); 1B green 45 grams; 1D green “red hair” 37 grams...158 total grams...5.64 oz. plus about 2 grams tester bits and 33 grams sugar leaf...I will learn to make water hash soon. Trim was fun at this scale...but took the better part of the day. Had a good break and walk in the snow to test the scissor hash and bud crumbles. I can say its fantastic GSC. Purple sweet skunk smell with hash...green strong citrus skunk. The red hair pheno looks just like some primo Hawaiian Ive enjoyed. This is organic sticky...I am not disappointed with first grow. Next grow In the grow cabinet...Corleone Kush from Cali Connection. I will checklist my key learnings from grow #1. My target is to double my yield to 12 oz. minimum in 3x3 with CMH 315w.
Two weeks now fluffing buds loose in jars and burping daily about 5 minutes each. The purple pheno had a little hay smell and taste in the background, now more sweet. Test smoke improving on the purple...all phenos are strong.
Feb 27 all buds into smaller jars for storage with Boveda 62 packs. The redhair pheno is amazing. Starting grow 2 now.
The low relative humidity is going to make your plants transpire a lot more and thus make feedings a bit less efficient. Also when your root zone gets cold it can lock out nutrients (http://www.cannagardening.com/root_zone_temperature_and_plant_health)
ph can also play a part. At any rate it's not too bad and I still think the harvest will be great.
@Cr8grow,no problem man looks like great smoke good job I just started my gg by sensible seeds it's got the little seed helmet on just can out of the dirt the other is still germing not poped yet it is sweet zombie
@Crwfz1, Thanks for weighing in on harvest timing...in hindsight they probably could have gone another week. Three phenos, all strong medicine. I just started grow 2 The Cali Connection Corleone Kush. Able to buy six fem seeds locally, 4 for 4 germinated.
@Cr8grow,hell yeah man they look bad ass check back up on my grow bought a micro scrip also for my Android through usp works amazing check back up on mine I'll be updating now with pics havesting wedding cake in two weeks or so week into flush now
@Blueboy2019, Thanks for the comments. Im very happy with Nirvana GSC and will grow again. I just started grow 2, The Cali Connection Corleone Kush, bought 6 fem seeds locally...4 for 4 germinated.
Looking great 😎, good luck with your grow, all the best in your adventure 👍😉,keep doing what you are doing deficiency should iron itself out anywhere between 6.0 to 6.5 PH you should be good👌
@Cr8grow, Help anytime if I know the problem LOL😉, Good luck with your new grow👍 , I just put my seeds in paper towel , just waiting for germination , and then start new diaries 😁 whoo whoo LOL😎
@raptor65, Thanks for your early input on my first grow GSC, much appreciated. I just started grow #2 The Cali Connection Corleone Kush, will apply learning.
@SmokinGas, I did top all once and then LST to even out the canopy...both first GSC grow and 2nd Corleone Kush grow. I will not top my new auto grow, just some LST in a couple weeks.
@@Resin_Randy, Thanks for the feedback. Three phenos all very good, now cured and jarred. I just started grow 2, The Cali Connection Corleone Kush, learned a few things and hope to improve yield.
listen,I'm seeing the problem and trying to help you.None of those answers except mine has the true answer.adding any more nutrients to your feeding like they said will harm your plants more,be aware.problem is ph.things like worm casting and stuff causing irregular ph and this harms your plants.and bulb change is not fucking even a thing,do not even take it into consideration.people just dont know.they speak too general.every brown leaf tip is nutrient burn for them.because they havent experienced any issues like this in their grows.you have ph problem.when ph is off,plant wont absorb elements and show brown leaf tip signs just like overfeeding.but no,it just cant absorb them and this hurts it,thats why brown tips.you see the leaves are very pale green,right?if it was near the ending of flowering,it would be OK.but it is very early to be that pale.If it was the nutrient burn,leaves wouldn't be that pale,they would actually be darker.check the ph of your soil,there are some gears for it.check the runoff water ph right after feeding,tell us and will find a solution.Also,an EC meter would be useful.check also EC of the runoff water,if its way too higher than your solution EC,think about flushing.good luck
@Cr8grow, good to hear mate.I'm learning many new things as well as time passes with a grow under my hands.definitely much more addicting than smoking fruits :D 160g is a good yield hope it lasts until your actual one finishes.Hopefully I'm going to be starting a new grow with two plants (panama from ace seeds and peyote cookies from barneys) .
@HighRoller909, Going back through issues and comments from my first grow GSC, appreciate your help and learned a few things. I just started grow #2 The Cali Connection Corleone Kush.
@Cr8grow, not familiar with that brand but found some links that may be useful :

https://www.rollitup.org/t/ph-problems-with-roots-organics-poting-soil-straight-out-the-bag.348383/
they say it's not fully a soil mix.so ph depends on it a lot.
Thanks to sponsor Sweet Seeds and the Grow Diaries team...honored to be selected 1st place Newbie of the Month February. Learned a lot here...enjoying the GSC every day. Just started grow #2, a heavy indica.
@@HiddenColorado, I just started grow 2 The Cali Connection Corleone Kush. I will check out Co2 supplement options. Thanks for checking out my first grow.
@@HiddenColorado, thanks for the feedback. Crate is 3’ x 3’. I run the exhaust fan 24/7 and turn over air rapidly...didnt think co2 would remain in the air long enough to matter. I will consider one plant, but am concerned if one plant develops a serious issue the grow is ruined.
@TheMachinist, Appreciate the comments, harvest and results from first grow good based on limited expectations. Just started grow 2, The Cali Connection Corleone Kush.
@Kid_Colombia, Going back through Nirvana GSC grow diary #1, the harvest was good and the final results were better. Going into week 7 just flipped Corleone Kush for diary #2 here. Thanks for the earlier feedback KC.
@MaxwellSH, Thanks for the encouragement early grow 1 GSC...harvest was ok, about six oz cured and in jars from four short plants. I just started grow 2, The Cali Connection Corleone Kush...hope to apply learning to improve (double?) yield grow 2.
