2020-03-22 (day 3): Starting her off on a windowsill by day, under grow light by night. She’ll be indoors for roughly 2 months, I’ll take some cuts and I’ll put her outdoors at the start of June, she should have like 4 months of veg, roughly 2-2.5 months flowering time. Not yet sure if I’ll put her in big pots or directly in the ground yet.
2020-03-29
Stretched a bit, 24 hrs of light is required as my basement is too cool for these little seedlings and I’m using a 100w cfl to supply heat. Light being used is a Chinese “1000w” LED. Once my other plants are done drying I will be putting these in my 2.5*2.5 grow room under 18/6.
2020-04-05 (Day 17)
Moved her into my 2.5’*2.5’ grow room and now she’s reached her new temporary home in my 4*8 grow tent along with my other outdoor strains and some tomato seedlings. I will top and clip some clones and most likely do an outdoor mainline. This will be my second attempt at mainlining and first outdoors. I don’t need the massive trees I had last year, and I think I can maximize my yield and keep my plants a little shorter. May end up doing 1 monster but we’ll see. I introduced nutes this week and all the girls took them like champs! I'm now running my 2 600W Meizhi LED lights in my 4*4 space for all my girls. Stay tuned!
2020-04-15 (Day 28)
Unsure how but I’ll admit it I must have overwatered the girls. I find it weird because I’ve started them in solo cups before and used the same medium (promix hp), same drainage holes in the bottom and sides and same watering practices. I guess this time the medium retained too much water and didn’t fully dry out. It had to be my practices that caused the fuck up as all my other strains from various breeders suffered to various degrees. Delayed growth for about a week and lost the first set of true leaves, but they appear to be bouncing back. I repotted into 2 gal buckets.
Very shitty mistake but I’ll admit I made it. These girls are going to bounce back and I just can’t wait to get them in the ground under that sun!
2020-04-23 (Day 36)
All the girls have bounced back and began to grow with serious vigour! I topped her, cleaned up her lower growth and tied her down initiating the mainlining process yesterday. The two new mains were still quite small but man they exploded in growth in one day. I topped her twice at the same time and am attempting at cloning the two tops I pulled. This is my first attempt at cloning and we’ll see how they turn out. I plan on getting a ton of tops when this mainlined girl is set outside in my flower bed in June. Still 3.5 month of veg left and I want to try and keep her under 6ft tall, we’ll see how that turns out. Stay tuned!!
2020-04-30 (Day 43)
Of all my mainlined girl my GSC is doing the best. Her mainline is pretty much completely horizontal and she has perfectly symmetric nodes. Fingers are more than crossed as she has yet to show any deficiencies. She continues to grow vigorously and I've topped her again, she'll be topped a couple more times throughout her life as she still has 3 months of veg left. countdown is on and hopefully she'll be put in the dirt under the sun in 3 1/2 weeks!
2020-05-05 (Day 48)
She’s still doing the best. A couple more days and I’ll tie down her 4 new mains, couple days after that I’ll top them again. Deficiencies seem to be resolved. I began mixing the soil in her future home, a 22 gallon plastic pot. I used soil from my barnyard and some promix hp that I’ll mix up. For now I’m using ghe nutes and I think I’m going to go with Gaia Green once transplanted outside and too dress them throughout.
2020-05-12 (Day 55)
Tied her down some more and began to spread out the new mains. I’ll top the four symmetric mains in another week, growing them out a bit further to pull some clones from the tops. Growth slowed this week as temps plummeted as I was busy in the hospital having the greatest day of my life! Baby boy was born on The weekend!! He’s perfect and the best thing ever. I unplugged the heater before I left as I didn’t want to leave the fire hazard on. This is going to be quite the thick-stemmed bitch this summer. Canada Fuck Yeah🇨🇦🇨🇦
2020-05-19 (Day 62)
The big day has come! Transplanted on may 17th into her final home, the bottom half of a 55 gallon drum. Didn’t have a chance to pick up any Gaia Green 4-4-4 or Blood Meal yet but I will this week and top dress. The soil this year is a 50/50 mix of Promix HP and soil from the cows barnyard, kind of was worried about some burn from the mix being too hot but knock on wood everything looks good so far. Last year I solely used Promix HP and GHE nutes. It got quite cumbersome as the media dried up nearly every or every other day and I used so much nutes. I’m going to flush this week then transition to Gaia. This girl had a flawless transplant unlike 2 of her sisters. Temps are a little cool at night and frost is not 100% out of the question so I’m checking every night for the time being and I’ll cover if it’s in the forecast. Likely by the end of the week I’ll be topping again and I’ll be up to 16 new colas, I’ve never mainlined outdoors before but I’m thinking I’ll maintain 32 colas on one girl and try for 64 on another. Stay tuned and see what the sun can do!🌞🇨🇦
2020-05-25 (Day 68)
The Girl Scout Cookies 🍪 is loving this sun. Worries have shifted from frost to heat and water as we just went through a hot dry week and we have another week of +30C forecasted.
I’ve been watering daily with straight tap water. I went to my local hydro store (40 min drive) to get some Gaia Green to top dress and they were completely sold out of dry amendments. I really don’t want to use liquid nutes again as mixing up 10 gallons every 2-3 nights is extremely taxing and time consuming. I’m going to try and get some but in the mean time of a deficiency begins I will supplement with my liquid GHE nutes for the time being.
I topped her again yesterday and now we’re at 16 colas. Hopefully by the next update we’ll be at 32!
Some of the other strains I started at the same time as this girl (not diaried) are so tall. Next summer I hope to try and grow these bad boys with just a bit of LST and see how big and bushy they can get.
Stay tuned and watch this girl veg for a coupe more months!
2020-06-01 (Day 75)
This girl doesn’t look too impressive in her updates, but that’s about to change! By the end of the week she’ll have been used and abused, topped and cloned once a week for the last 6 weeks for a total of 63 toppings, and she’s ready! It’s soon ptime to start letting these colas grow, still 2.5 months to veg before flowering should start, so I’ll still likely have lots of defoliation, but I highly doubt I’ll try and top to 128 tops haha, you can still try and persuade me! This is the only strain I’m growing at the moment that hasn’t shown any signs of asymmetrical node spacing yet, currently making her my number one pic for mainline.
Still no nutes since put outdoors and knock on wood no noticeable deficiencies yet.
Drastic temp swings, +33 C and no rain for a week to 8 C and rain. Finally time to watch this girl explode in growth!!!!
2020-06-08 (Day 82)
A couple more days and we’ll be at 64 tops. This girl has consistently shown symmetric node spacing which is perfect for mainlining. Time between toppings is longer than it needs to be but that’s only because I’ve been letting them grow large enough that I can pull decent sized clones, this thing is a clone machine haha.
Beauty weather and beauty growing conditions, a little dry but I’ve only had to water a couple times so far, nature’s done the majority.
Still no nutes and no visible deficiencies. This plant is a true beauty!
2020-06-15 (Day 89)
We’ve got there, 64 tops! I think I’m going to treat this girl as the experiment since she consistently shows symmetric node spacing and we still have 2 months of veg left. Hopefully by my next update we’ll be at 128 new colas. If I can get to 256 by August 1 I will stop there. Imagine a field of 256 10”-18” tall, thick as fuck donkey dicks!
I will be implementing some dry nutes this week, ratios and types will be in next posting.
She keeps trucking along, grows enough to permit 1 round of topping every week or two. No visible deficiencies yet (knock knock). Stay tuned!!
Congestion of 256 colas.... our shitty unstable weather. Might be a Ontario botrytis accident waiting to happen. But with adequate spacing and separation through training and some luck weather wise. Could be a huge trim party waiting to happen.
2020-06-23 (Day 97)
It’s been a extremely hot, high 30s with humidity and zero rain. I’ve been watering every 2-3 days and finally introduced some dry nutes. Local brand 9.5-9.5-9.5 that are labelled as bloom nutes but with those ratios I’m using them for veg. Still at 64 tops and I’ll let veg for likely 2 more weeks now until I top for 128. I need the new mains to grow longer so that I can get adequate spacing to ensure my sea of colas have adequate spacing.
2020-06-30 (Day 104)
It hasn’t been quite as warm as it was during the last post, but heat and no rain in the forecast which the girls love (as long as they’re watered). She’s loving life and growing. I tied down more of her mains to open her up, I need to spread these colas out to prevent mold from the congestion later on down the road. Asymmetric node spacing has finally started so I think it’s safe to say we’re going to end this at 64 tops and not go further. I’d hate to waste all the work and this awesome strain by losing it to the elements.
Stay tuned and watch her grow now!!
2020-07-08 (Day 113)
Heat wave is back in full force, supposed to be near 40 C with e humidex the next couple days. I rarely need to water this girl and she has not once dropped from being under watered.
Came home from work yesterday to find her and the other two potted sisters drooping just begging for a drink. Gave them some straight tap water from the hose and within 15 minutes they perked right back up.
Did a major defoliation to reduce the congestion that would eventually form under the canopy come flower. Hard training is more or less done, most likely just some lst from here on out. She keeps praying and just stretching towards the sky.
She’s pretty darn flat for the amount of tops she’s got. So far would be killer for a secretive grow where height could be an issue.
2020-07-15 (Day 120)
We had a relief from the heat and dryness with a misty cooler weekend. Just enough rain all weekend to wet the ground so nothing major. The girls still needed water near every second day. Still nute free and showing no deficiencies.
I’m letting this girl do her thing from here on out, just may do more lollipopping and defoliating to promote air flow. I need to train like this in our climate do to our cold, wet falls and the fucking mold. Stay tuned this girl loves life! 🍪
2020-07-24 (Day 129)
This girl and her Bruce Banner sister have cow manure mixed in and this is the first week I’ve added nutes. Leaves weren’t yellowing but I felt that overall the plants were pale throughout, especially compared to her clone.
From here on out I’m more or less letting her do her thing. I’ll likely have to add supports once she starts bulking up with flowers. I’ll also have to move her and her BB3 sister in my yard once flowering initiates as the sun will be blocked more by my hedges come that time.
I’ve added a picture of her beside her untrained clone in a two gallon pot. This clone leads me to believe that left untrained this thing would grow into a massive tree!
It’s been sunny and warm with little rain, so far knock on wood an amazing summer for growing outdoor. Stay tuned, flowering is just around the corner!
2020-07-31 (Day 136)
She’s now on a water-water-feed schedule due to her developing a slight nitrogen deficiency. Leaves are darkening and she’s beginning to look super healthy. The amount of flowers that this thing is going to produce is insane!
I’ve spread all the girls out so they can get a bit more sun, this is where they will remain until their fateful end.
It’s August, flowering doesn’t seem as far away any more!
2020-08-06 (Day 142)
Not much to add, we’ve had a break from the dry heat and it rained a couple days this week. I feed this girl usually about once a week, the soil mix is really holding up and I’m impressed. This is the first of my outdoor photos to start flowering and it’s only the start of August! She’s flowering nicely and since I’ve seen what to expect from her clone currently in my tent, this thing will pack on the weight fast. Stay tuned guys and watch this thing pack on the weight!!!
2020-08-13 (Day 149)
Flowering and just beginning to stack up! Leaving for over a week but thank god this girl is in 50/50 promix HP/cow shit topsoil so I don’t have to worry as much as I do for my GG4 which is solely in Promix. None the less I pumped 2 shots of early flowering nutes to her. We’ll see how she looks next week!
2020-08-23 (Day 159)
Great week for the outdoor girls! As stated last week I was gone for a week and I had the girlfriend feed only water and everyone took it like a champ. You can see she’s a lighter shade of green, it’s been hard to keep up feeding with mixing liquid nutes constantly.
But the work trip was worth it, got some good overtime and on top of that, picked up a 20kg bag of Gaia Green 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 since no one near home carries it. As of posting this I gave all my outdoor girls 1.5 cups of each which should eliminate the need for feeding liquid nutes from here on out! Super stoked 🤟 to get these nutes! Referred to me by my bro’s @hellishjam and @GreenHouseLab 🇨🇦
We will see how mold resistant this strain is in a coupe weeks but she stands out as a clear winner so far due to how early she flowered and how fast her clone stacked up!
It’s been extremely humid lately and rainy, my indoor has began getting some powdery white mildew and I’m waiting for my outdoor to start. It’s bad in my area and I suffered last year on 1/2 of my outdoor strains. I’m hoping to pinpoint the most mold resistant strains so I know what to plant outdoors in the future on a larger scale.
Stay tuned, we’re in for an interesting fall!
2020-08-30 (Day 166)
She’s showing a bit of a nitrogen deficiency that I believe is from the delayed onset of the powdered nutes, I may give her one more shot with some higher nitrogen ratios before I eliminate using GHE on this grow.
Stacking up nicely and these will truly resemble the highly sought after donkey dick status.
It’s been a wet and cold end to August but the girls are still doing awesome!
2020-09-06 (Day 173)
Deficiencies have backed off as I believe the Gaia Green kicked in. Top dressed them for a second time and added some soil to fill the pots a bit more. I should mention as it’s still early flower the last 2 feedings (only times fed Gaia) were 1 1/2 cups mixed 50/50 of Gaia 4-4-4 and 2-8-5. Next feeding will be higher on the 2-8-4. Fall popped out of nowhere and it’s been cool and damp. Had 1 major windstorm and I just got the girls all tied up around 6 ft up. Not a lost branch!
She is by far the furthest Photo along!
Praying for dryer weather! ☀️
2020-09-15 (Day 182)
Bulking up and stinking up the backyard! It almost frosted last night and it’s cold in the forecast, hopefully weather turns in our favour. Stay tuned, we’re farming donkey dicks here in Canada 🇨🇦. 🤠
2020-09-22 (Day 189)
Bulking up even more and she’s been through 3 frosts this week. After each frost I blew her off with my leafblower. Weather has turned for the better and the last 2 nights were more mild with no dew. Rain ahead but I’m still hoping to push her until mid October. Little to no PWM on this strain and knock on wood no bud rot yet. She is a longer flowering strain but she started two weeks before any other outdoor strains I have. Trichs are cloudy so now we wait for amber!
2020-09-30 (Day 198)
Almost the absolute worst weather for our area for dope this time of year. 3 frosts and now a week of dampness and rain. All my girls have at least 90% cloudy trichs and either 10% amber or clear. My chopping schedule is now not trich related it’s based on who’s suffering from WPM the worst and who’s got the fattest colas more susceptible to rot. Therefore Dutch auto is in the midst of being chopped as it’s got the fattest colas and some WPM. Next will be BB3 as she’s getting hit hard by WPM. After that it’ll be GG4, which will suck balls as it is just a monster bush. Then either GSC or Purple Berry, both of which seem pretty resistant to the mildew. Purple Berry may be last since it is in the best spot for airflow.
2020-10-07 (Day 205)
Trimmed up my Girl Scout Cookies over the last couple days.
-I trimmed fan leaves while the plant was still intact,
-then cut branches and debudded them,
-Buds were then wet trimmed with a bowl trimmer
-Buds were then washed in 1cup H2O2 : 5 gallon water solution,
-Buds then rinsed off in pure water.
-put on drying rack in tent and humidity controlled at 55%-60% with dehumidifier, temp at 65F and two fans running,
-after about 4 days buds were put in air proof 5 gallon pale to cure.
Original Sensible Seeds’ Girl Scout Cookies is a great strain for our climate. Extremely WPM resistant and not one spot of bud rot. Mainlining was a great experience, resulted in some massive colas! This strain produces rock hard dense nugs that permit an easier trimming experience. 9/10 on the mold resistance scale as there was very minor WPM on some fans.
I trimmed and jarred 751g (dry) and am super happy with the yield. I already harvested one of her clones that was forced to flower earlier and have 1 more clone to harvest.
I will update taste and effects soon once cured for a bit. All in all this thing was the easy to grow, no broken mains and the mainline worked very well. I recommend growing this 100% Outdoors in our climate. I will update smell, taste and effects.
