2018 CLOSET GROW - GIRL SCOUT COOKIES - Autoflower (2018)
Growing under 2 - 300W Bloomspect LEDS, 1 - 135W BlackStar UFO LED, and 3 - 4' T5 HO (early veg & side-lighting during flower). Added a passive intake system that consists of a Suncourt 8" ThruWall Exhaust Fan (high in closet) and a 8" x 12" Air Intake Grille (low in closet). Also added a Holmes Twin Window Fan with Comfort Control Thermostat that has both intake and exhaust options for each fan. This set up will keep temperature and CO2 levels consistent. Growing in 3 gallon fabric grow pots filled with 60% Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil, 30% Perlite, and 10% Worm Castings. For waterings, added 1/2 teaspoon of SuperThrive to 3 gallons water aerated/bubbled for 24-48 hours. No other nutrients will be added until week 3.
GIRL SCOUT COOKIES
Winning multiple Cannabis Cup awards for its almost alien-like supreme quality, Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) has been a favorite for decades, attracting the likes of those who want to consume this amazing weed because of its aromatic, entrancing and earthy aroma. Its sweet, yet slightly minty flavor, reminds those who have tried this weed of the addicting Girl Scout Cookies they grew up consuming and loving. GSC launches you to euphoria’s top floor where full-body relaxation meets a time-bending cerebral space. Patients needing a strong dose of relief, however, may look to GSC for severe pain, nausea, and appetite loss.

Day 12 of organic grow and all is well. Seemed to have dialed in the conditions and able to keep good air movement, CO2 levels, and consistent temperatures/humidity with the ThruWall Closet Fan (Model TW108 ), and the Holmes Twin Exhaust/Intake Fan (Model HAWF-2041). Humidity is maintained with a Lovoit 6L Ultrasonic Programmable Cool Mist Humidifier (Model# LV600HH). Added a SCROG screen (just a cargo net) and bought the Sample Pack of organic nutrients from Nectar for the Gods (just pay shipping and they will send you the sample nutrients - check out the website). People say their line of nutrients make the buds smell and taste like no other! I have always been an organic Earth Juice nutrient guy, so I am going to experiment with combining the two.
Lights are on 24/0 and she has tight internodal spacing with good vertical growth. Room that closet is in is beginning to smell skunky at times, and like diesel at other times. Will begin light organic nutrients with next watering.
Day 13 - Watered today with very low strength nutrients added. - Zannabis7
Day 20 – The Girl Scout Cookies Autoflower grow continues to thrive in the current closet grow setup. She has doubled in height since the beginning of week 2. Have not added any nutrients other than Recharge (living soil microbe), Cal/Mag, and SuperThrive. Have been watering approximately every 3-4 days.
Side shoots are becoming abundant and will begin some leaf tucking in the coming week to expose these side shoots to more light, create more fully developed bud sites, and to promote a more even canopy. - Zannabis7
Day 21 - Set up an automatic watering/feeding system so that plants can be easily watered with SCROG net in place. This will also water/feed plants while traveling or away for longer durations. The watering system can be found on Amazon - STOH Micro Automatic Drip Irrigation Kit/Self Watering System with 30-Day Timer. Link follows:

Day 22 – Fed with Nectar for the Gods nutrients, Recharge (soil microbes), and SuperThrive. Aerated the mix with aquarium air pump (two stones) for approximately 15 minutes prior to feed.
Day 23 – Looking healthy enough to begin some defoliation and leaf tucking. Defoliation to remove some of the fan leaves to allow for some air movement/circulation as plant had such tight internodal spacing. Leaf tucking to assist with side flower exposure. Will start bending the main stem under the SCROG net in the coming days.
Day 26 - Fed with the same Nectar of the Gods based regimen but increased the Herculean Harvest. Added Bloom Khaos and a 1/2 teaspoon Recharge. Continued with some leaf tucking to expose flower sites. - Zannabis7
Day 28 – The Girl Scout Cookies growth has slowed a bit, but she is pushing out lots of side branches and flower sites. Have continued with some minor leaf tucking and have been directing the side branches into different squares of the SCROG net in an attempt to create a fairly even canopy. Added a G8LED 90 Watt Red Flower Booster UFO light to the closet to assist with the flowering stage. Lowered the 300 Watt Bloomspect LEDs and angled them slightly to mix with the two UFO (red) flowering LEDs.
Continuing to feed the Nectar of the Gods nutrients mixed with Recharge (soil microbes) and aerated with aquarium air pump (two stones) for approximately 15 minutes prior to feed. She is starting to drink more and have been watering/feeding approximately every 3 days. - Zannabis7
Day 29 - Fed Nectar of the Gods nutrients mixed with Recharge (soil microbes) and aerated with aquarium air pump (two stones) for approximately 15 minutes prior to feed. - Zannabis7
Day 31 - Starting to drink more. Light feeding of straight Recharge today. - Zannabis7
Day 33 - Fed Nectar for the Gods regimen with increased Herculean Harvest dosage. The plants are loving the organic CALCIUM based nutrients. Will update to week 6 tomorrow (02/04/2017) - Zannabis7
Day 35 – The Girl Scout Cookies is just starting to throw lots of pistols from the tops of her flowers. She gained about 4” in height this week and it seems vertical growth is continuing.
Continuing to feed the Nectar for the Gods nutrients and have added Triton’s Trawl (liquid fishbone meal that is rich in calcium from fish cartilage and is designed to deliver flavor, aroma and color to the finished product) and Aphrodite’s Extraction (a rich blend of sucrose, fructose, chelated nutrients, and organic acids necessary for enzymatic activity, and a complete balance of vitamins A, C, D, E, B1, B6 and B12, which are essential to a plants’ biological growth processes). These two additions are known to increases oil, resin, frost, and terpene production in flower. Continuing to add Recharge as a soil amendment to establish colonies of beneficial fungal and bacterial microbes.
Temperatures are consistently between 74° - 78° and humidity between 30% - 45%. Soil pH is 6.5 and PPMs at 321 which is perfect for the Nectar for the Gods nutrient line.
Added a homemade Co2 generator to boost carbon dioxide levels and to improve overall plant growth and health. – Zannabis7
Day 36 - Fed the Nectar of the Gods nutrients as indicated above and in photo. Added Recharge to the nutrient mix for microbes and to aid in the breakdown and uptake of nutrients. - Zannabis7
Day 39 - Fed the Nectar of the Gods nutrients as indicated above and in photo. Again added Recharge to the nutrient mix for microbes and to aid in the breakdown and uptake of nutrients. Also did some very light defoliation and more leaf tucking to expose flower sites - Zannabis7
Day 43 – The Girl Scout Cookies gained one inch in vertical growth as she is starting to throw her energy into flower development. She is pushing out some major trichomes and her flowers are pleasing to enjoy. The main cola is filling in nicely and should stack up and densify before harvest (see photo). Continuing to push the Nectar for the Gods CALCIUM with Recharge. The entire grow is starting to fill in the closet space and there is nearly a flower for each space in the scrog net.
Temperatures are consistently between 74° - 78° and humidity between 30% - 40%. Soil pH is 6.5 and PPMs at 347 which is perfect for the Nectar for the Gods nutrient line. – Zannabis7
Day 45 - Fed the Nectar of the Gods nutrients and added Recharge to the mix for microbes and to aid in the breakdown and uptake of nutrients. Continued with light defoliation and more leaf tucking to expose flower sites. - Zannabis7
Day 47 - Fed the Nectar of the Gods nutrients and added Recharge to the mix for microbes and to aid in the breakdown and uptake of nutrients. Continued with light defoliation and more leaf tucking to expose flower sites. - Zannabis7
Day 50 – The Girl Scout Cookies is truly starting to impress. While only 14" tall, her flowers are gorgeous and she is really stacking on the pistols, resins, and trichomes. With her tight internodal spacing, the colas are dense and weighty. Very few of the pistol hairs are turning orange, but she is maturing fast. She only gained about 1” in height this week, so vertical growth is slowing.
Continuing to feed the calcium based Nectar for the Gods nutrients with added Recharge as a soil amendment to establish colonies of beneficial fungal and bacterial microbes.
Temperatures are consistently between 74° - 78° and humidity between 30% - 40%. Soil pH is 6.5 and PPMs at 389 which remains within range for the Nectar for the Gods nutrient line. – Zannabis7
Day 51 - Watered with Recharge only to reset the soil and ready her for the final push of nutrients. - Zannabis7

@@frags, Great news! Welcome to the world of light-emitting diode! Was there a brand on the LEDs? I'd be interested to know the Chinese brand. I look forward to following your next grow. - Zannabis7
@Zannabis7,hello again dude, ordered some china leds 1000w its say dunno how true it is but will see how it will effect my grows. waiting some new seeds from FastBuds 2xGorillaGlue2xRhinoryder1xGSC. Have a good day bro🙏
@GreenZealand, Her's a nice tutorial on LST - http://www.growweedeasy.com/low-stress-training-lst
If you want a tutorial on Co2 generators, just google it on youtube. Best wishes friend...
I use the same window exact window fan in my bedroom to keep the air circulating.
Your girls are looking great! Excited to see what week 3/4 will bring.
Also, how is that CO2 generator working for you?
@ZackTaylor, Wow. That's interesting that you have the same window fan. Not sure the Co2 generator was doing much so I discontinued it. I am already past week 3/4 on the grow. I am in week 6. Thanks for looking in!
@BudKingsGrow, Thanks for the kind words. There's actually 7 lights running. 2- 300 watt LEDs, 2- UFO Flowering LEDs, and 3- T5 high output 4 ft florescents w/ mixed color spectrums. Check out the Pineapple Express update if you get a chance. She is developing some nice flowers.
@Jaindoh, Thank my GD friend! Stellar is not a word I have heard/seen used in GD posts yet. I like it! Thanks again for looking in and for your support!
Zannabis7, I gotta say.....beautiful journals!
I absolutely love the tent layout and nute photos you included.
Great work my man!
Once my grow room is finished construction I gotta spend some time and get my journals up to speed like yours! 👊🏼
@sleeve, A big time thanks for the kind words on the grow/journal/diary. Much appreciated. I will look forward to seeing you newly constructed grow room and reading your new and improved journals! Be cool if you would like my 7 grows 😎 Best wishes!
@ScotlandDrGreen420, The Glueberry I am growing comes from Expert Seeds. She looks very nice right now. She has really put on some flowers since week 6. I will update her tonight! It'll be interested to see how that barking dog smoke turns out! ha ha
@Zannabis7, glue berry will be a lovely smoke Bro , which breeder does that auto ?.... stardawg/chem strains seem to leading the way at the moment for the punch , a right good bit of dawg will have you melted the couch haha . My next grow is either going to be a photo grow of Zurple Punch X Purple Punch by In House Genetics or , some form of berry etc Auto , these little autos can take more stress than people make out man haha ... I've topped and bent the shit out my little dawg and I'm sure I heard it barking haha
@BudKingsGrow, Sure thing. I will water hard with nutrients before I leave tomorrow and then run straight water through the auto water system while away.
@BudKingsGrow, Thank again my GD friend. I harvest the Pineapple Express as she was where I wanted her with the trichomes. Will have to update when I return from a business trip. This is when the autowater system will come in handy! Fingers are crossed!
@@frags, It all depends on if the Pineapple Express finishes up in time for me to document the harvest. I have already started on it so I just need to add in the chop and harvest if she makes it!
Hi. I want to follow your diary about growing gsc. I really dont have idea about everything, just trying to grow hehe. I just want to ask how many watts of LED do i need? I dont live in the US, icant find the products u mentioned above. Today is my gsc’s first day. I hope u could help me so i could get that same result hehe Thank you!
@Zannabis7, hey! Thanks for ur response! My friend came here for vacation and he gave me 20seeds from the US. So i have 20 seeds and i dont know how to grow them 😂 Anyway, went to wilcon depot, home depot, and also went to the mall, they dont have grow light or any LED with more than 50w. Maybe ill try cfl for the mean time cos i still need to order it from there. How many watts of CFL do i need if i have 20 germinated seeds? Ur answer will be a big help sir. Thank you!
@UnoCstro, Hey there! If you are growing one plant, in my opinion, you can minimally get by with a 200 - 300 watt LED. You will have success with the one light, but please keep in mind that my grow has a combination of full spectrum LED lights, Red spectrum LED lights (for flowering) and T5 High Output lights with various spectrums. Happy to help with any other questions you might have.
@hawkeye_diesel66, Thanks for looking in. The automatic watering system can be found on Amazon for $40.00. Link follows:
