Friend left me with about 15 GSC seeds he found in an eighth of weed. Not sure of the genetics so let's figure this $%!^ out.

Left these in my tiny 1x1' tent while I was on vacation under a 100W Cob that I found from China. Came back 5 days later from Seattle Xmas Vacation to found they all had mostly popped.

This week I transplanted them into their final homes, 2 liter mountain dew bottles. I cut tiny holes 2" up from the bottom to create a reservoir. My plan is to fill a 2x2 tent with these 2liters. Next week I flip to 12/12. Plants are barely 6-7".

Changed the setup completely. Moved them into their new home, a 2x2 tent. For weeks 1-4 they will remain under a 150 Watt Mars Hydro LED. Created an automatic dripper system. Goes off twice, once an hr after lights on and another 5 hrs later, each watering lasts 1 minute.

UPDATE: 1-29-18 The GSC are definitely AUTOS. Just added a new fan. Bought a Spectrum King 140W and just moved it in as it's going to be my main FLOWER light.

Added the screen and I defoliated many of the plants. The GSCs are FINALLY beginning to flip. The Thin Mint, Alien Dawg, and Chernobyls are looking gewd. I tossed my Clementine clone as it was behaving oddly (leafs forming a single fan, weird bud formations, etc)

The GSCs grew into the screen just fine. They switched on different times though, oddly enough, but I'm still giving them the same feeding since they're all connected via the same dripper system. I'd call this week 1.5-2 for the GSCs.

Added my Spectrum King 140W and a 29W CFL to the party. So now we have a 145W Mars Hydro, and the two new lights. Next week I defoliate.

So far so good. Been getting lots of humidity as it's raining finally in southern California so it's been hard to stay below 65%. Plants are getting nice and fat. Going to remove the cheap Chinese light and stick with the Spectrum King for the last few weeks.

Flushing has begun. The flowers are doing great but we had a bit of ph shock because my ph reader needed to be recalibrated.

Nice SCROG. Some nice growth this week. Thanks for the update. Continued best wishes on the grow.

Hi @Zack Taylor Grows Keep your great work, your plants looks good. What do you think the Mars Light?
ZackTaylor
ZackTaylorcommented7 years ago
@Rubob, Honestly, I wouldn't switch! I love my lights. The Spectrum King LED is by far my best. The mars is okay but would be better if I converted it using growmaus cob method via his youtube tutorial.

@ZackTaylor, really loving your plants Mr. How do you find leds ? Im running two viparspectra's and loving them .
ZackTaylor
ZackTaylorcommented7 years ago
@smokevera, I love it! I typically only use it until buds start to show. Then I switch over to my Spectrum King that uses the same wattage but has better spectrum (comparable to a 200 HPS).

Gotta love Girl Scout Cookies. Grow is looking great. Best wishes...

@ZackTaylor, Agreed. And the taste with the Nectar for the Gods nutrients is extra-unparalleled! 😊
ZackTaylor
ZackTaylorcommented7 years ago
@Zannabis7, Thanks. I love GSC too for the most part. They just don't yield as much as other strains. The taste is unparalleled though.

@Frak_Toggleson, Thanks! Best of luck to you as well. Do you know the genetics?

Nice harvest 👌. I get about the same yield with my 300W COB setup.

Love your watering set up, Zack. I sometimes use water rings and enjoy the same efficiency of a system that can be set to a timer. I like how gentle your drip feed is. I am sure the plants roots appreciate it.👍

Hi bro is it the SK402 ? I have the 440+ and have found it takes a bit longer to flower than hps 👍 But the quality of buds is 😜

ZackTaylorcommentedweek 47 years ago
Currently using two 29Watt Florescent lights as I set up a new 2x2 tent for Flowering.
