It was my first ever Coco grow, so I had some mistakes. Also it was first grow with new grow tent and new lamp. I had some problems with tent, I'll talk about it it topics below. ***HOW IT GROWS*** ###VEGETATION Very nice germination, good root after 80h in water. 4 days after planting seed sprouted. First few weeks it was growing on average pace, and if we consider it's heavy indica phenotype, i would it was growing pretty good. And then i fucked up. I decided to use FIM technique, and fuck I missed... It slowed down growing, and I feel like plant was notthe same after it. Cal/Mag problems appeared few days after FIM, approximately on day 30, so i raised CalMag nutrients from 1ml/l to 1.5ml/l for the rest of grow. Removed some leaves of 5th week. LST or SCROG technique is a must for this strain. Also i would recommend removing leaves. ###FLOWERING On first week on flowering plant didn't stretch much, but gained a lot of leaves, that i removed on 2nd week. Used SCROG to give future buds as much lights as possible, considering a LOT of leaves and not much stretch, it was not easy. Then on 3rd week of flowering, i removed SCROG, as plant stopped growing, and left only LST. Next few weeks went great, all plant needed was nutrients and lights. Then on about 5th week of flowering, I spotted some white powder on coco, and I don't even do coke. It was mold(fungus)... As i think, it was caused by lack of air on the bottom of tent. I only used 1 little PC fan for intake on bottom. But it didn't cause any problem, no signs of mold on buds or any part of the plant. As you can see on photos, I kept removing leaves until final week of harvest. It surely stressed and prevented bud growing, but I had no other choice to give grow medium some lights to control mold. Overall this strain is growing pretty fast. If growing in coco, use 50% more CalMag than is written in charts, very CalMag hungry. I recommend doing LST and SCROG ASAP. From my experience with GSC, my advise is that you give more nutrients than usual, especially ones for blooming. Cookies love Phosphorus. Try to give buds a much light as you can by removing leaves, but don't cut as much and often as I did xD ###OVERALL Plant grew short, just 30cm. A lot of side branches full of buds. Strong and resistant to any problems. Very smelly, your neighbors gonna love it. ***HARVEST*** Harvested on day 120, after 64 days of flowering. 18 hours of darkness. Wet weight is 398g, got 18 grams of trim. Hang in my old grow tent for 5 days. Temperature and humidity were about the same every time I checked, 22c and 50%. After 5 days of drying, I got 46g of dry buds, 10g that I gave away and smoked, gives me 56 grams of top notch indica, but let's talk about it later. ***TASTE AND SMELL*** While growing smell was strong and reminded me GSC. Sour flowers xd. Buds smell like fresh mountain air, with citrus growing on it. Smoke is not harsh, but hard on lungs, makes you cough real quick. ***EFFECT*** Hits after 5 minutes, peak is coming very late, after 30 minutes, and keeps at peak for an hour. Strong indica couchlock stone. First your eyes are getting heavy, and suddenly you want to talk a lot. You feel happy. Then couchlock comes in, and you turn to stone. But you still talk a lot. Strong body effect. Very anti-social, don't recommend smoking it if you go out in public or have to talk to strangers. Music is great while on it. Also gaming is real fun, makes you real competitor. Makes you hungry, don't start eating if you can't stop. **********OVERALL********** 9/10. Would be 10/10 if plant stretched better during flowering. Good strain for newbies, easy growing and very resistant. Great for indica lovers, who like to smoke alone after long day, and just chill and relax. Peace.

Not much to say about it, but i'll try my best. All I got is 24 grams, no even an ounce. ***HOW IT GROWS*** It grew short and bushy. Started flowering very early. Smell is very strong but pleasant. From the start i wanted it to grow without LST or any training, but when i saw it growing very small, decided to train it. It was only way i could get some decent buds, and add a little bit more weight to harvest. # Also I think that I underwatered it in first 10-14 days, it affected harvest aswell. ***HARVEST*** 24 grams. Dried for 8 days.Cured in jars. ***EFFECT*** It hits you pretty fast, and first thing you feel is pure euphoria. All you wanna do is just laugh and talk about anything that comes to mind. Colors change, and music takes you to different dimension. As guitarist, Gelato made me more creative. Oh yeah, and don't forget about food, you'll get hungry real fast and serious. ***FINAL*** If not the weight, this strain is perfect 10/10. Maybe it was genetic problem, maybe it was my fault in early stage. It is what it is. Peace.

Finally have some time to write a review. Grows really fast. Gotta get lucky with genetics. I didnt get any good harvest weight, but i probably got the most beautiful plant i ever seen IRL, and i has very nice indica effect. ***HOW IT GROWS*** It grows very fast from day 1. Started nutrients from week 3. and plant took it like a champ. Very CalMag hungry. Go easy on Nitrogen. Stretches nicely after flowering start. I broke main stem on 39 day, and after that plant didnt really grow in height. That was my mistake, maybe harvest would be a lot better. ***HARVEST*** Now thats the saddest part of this diary. 41 grams. eh uh . Buds not densy, but very oily and full of trichomes. If they were dense, it would be a piece of art. But it is what it is, effects and good time this strain gave me and my friends, overlaps poor weight. ***EFFECT*** Now thats the best part of this diary. 3 minutes after smoking you feel euphoria,very nice and strong. Colors seem to change, sounds change, listening to music gives you eargasm, you become kind of dance guru. Then as classic you just want to laugh and talk with friends about everything. Gaming is also great. After about an hour, you turn to stone. You just sit, feel what is going on on every inch of your body, and you are just super super relaxed, tired and lazy AF. Just go to sleep ffs. Also this strain gives you serious munchies. ***FINAL*** For me as for indica lover, this strain is very good. Good balance of sativa, and great indica part. As for growing, i had great experience. From super fast growing from start, to beautiful buds in the end, i really enjoyed it. Wouldn't recommend for newbies and first time growers. Peace.

Oh boy it was a pleasure growing this strain. Very rapid grow from day 1. No the most smelliest strain ever, but it will make your room smell like pine forest with some lemon trees. ***HOW IT GROWS*** From day 1, plant was growing super fast. It loves light. Start with small amount of nutrients, an go full schedule after week 3-4. I recommend providing little nice fan breeze from first week, as stem is developing slower than leaves, sooner you strength it-better for everyone. LST, SCROG worked great. Plant develops a lot of side branches, and if they get good light, they wont disappoint you. ***HARVEST*** Harvested on day 85, after 10 hours of darkness. Dry weight before manicuring was 602 gr, 511gr after. Got about 1g of scissor hash, and 60 grams of trim. Dry bud weight is 88 grams, less than i expected, but i was my fault, i cut too much leaves too often. Day 1 - 21° 48%. Day 2 - 21.5°, 55%. Day 3 - 21.3°, 60% Day 4 - 22.1° , 60% Day 5 - 22.4° , 60% Day 6 - 21.8°, 50% Day 7 - 21.5°, 50% Day 8 - 22.3° , 60% Day 9 - 22.0° , 50% After 9 days of drying, curing started. Opened jars about 3-4 time a day, for 10 minutes. After 2 week opening jars 1 time a day for 10 minutes. ***TASTE and SMELL*** While growing, she had almost no smell until last week. After it she smelled earthy and piney, with spicy grapefruit notes when sniffed closely. Right after drying, smell was earthy, and turned piney when grinded. I was really surprised with smoke, it was very smooth, no harsh at all. No special taste. After almost a month of curing, buds started to smell like a real lemon, leaving sour aftertaste in mouth. After grinding it smells lemon with pine notes. Absolutely fantastic. ***EFFECT***(after month of curing) Effects creep in very slow, after about 5-10 minutes. As soon as you think that it will not get you high, you get slapped in the face. Everything starts with strong euphoria, colors change, sounds change. You feel rush of happiness, everything is just great. High comes in waves. stronger than previous. You think you have reached peak, but it just keeps getting stronger. After first few waves, you start to laugh your ass off. Also you become very talkative, nobody can stop you. Also it can change effects really fast. One minute you are laying on a couch ready to sleep, minute after you feel rush of energy and are ready for any physical activity. Greatest thing to do while high, is to listen to music and dance, its just something incredible. High lasts 1.30h. After it you feel sleepy. And if you have smoked for whole day, it will make you feel very tired, and you can sleep like a baby. But if you overcame that feeling, you can continue doing stuff. Doesn't make you feel hungry, but i you tried some food, you just cant stop. Overall, its good strain for smoking in company, in nature, evening walk, holidays, car cruising, listening or creating music. Would not recommend for serious meeting and stuff, as it will just make you giggly. ***FINAL*** Amazing strain, pleasure to deal with it , from grow to smoke. If you want to truly enjoy growing, this strain is for you. I'll give it 10/10, great job @FastBuds , the best for reason. Thanks to everyone who helped me and followed through grow. Grow dat shit, smoke dat shit. Dedicated to my boy NA, get free soon. Peace.
