Girl Scout Cookies - [GSC-OTM] 2x4x5 tent 400W HPS SCROG ORGANIC

[CaliforniaTHC]

Alright guys, sorry I have been lagging, we had a small blaze sesh with the vape and got unexpectedly baked. Anyways, the long awaited, pics.
Here is a pic of the area where I snapped a branch while trying to LST, I was being quite gentle so I was pretty surprised when it happened, I pushed it back up and have it basically propped up with a coat hanger, did not want to stress this baby(my akr ! ) anymore than it already has been but oh well, I have been LSTing all the branches, should have got a shot of the full plant, it would probably be about a foot tall but from LST its about 4 inches and it has huge branches going to the ends of the pots, it is growing horizontally almost completely. I will get a better shot next time.
Here is what I like to call a topshot of the girl scout cookies, you can see I put up the trellis, once its full I will flower this baby. Sadly I didnt take very many pictures of this girl, but she is already showing little white hairs in some spots, she is horned up. As you can see all of my topping and training has made it quite bushy, its almost perfectly healthy, I dont say perfect because of the orange spots on the lower area but it hasnt come back and I picked those leaves off. I have super cropped the top 3 branches, but I realize now that it was a bit too much stress on the girl, I should have just done 1 every other day or so. Live and learn, this is a keeper strain for life maybe
A nice topshot of the boss hogg, has some 7 blade leaves that are literally MASSIVE, I know for some it may be hard to believe these are indeed the same plants pictured previously, but alas they are!!
Node structure on the boss hogg, looks amazing, literally perfect, all the lower branches are reaching up to the top to form an even canopy by themselves, I have topped it already 3 times.
A nice comparison to size up one of the big leaves on the boss hogg and a close up shot of the top.
Bud sites forming on the AKR!

Thanks man! The girl scout is actually growing at a decent pace before all the super crops slowed it down. The boss Hogg has a perfect node structure, every node on the bottom comes out at. 45 angle every node and all of them even the bottom ones are stretching up and reaching the top of the canopy on its own, I think it's amazing and will be keeping this little girl(don't know if it's male or not yet) for a while for sure. It is easy to manage, requires little to no training(all I am doing is topping ) &the afghan kush Ryder stinks up the whole room already

Lookin back on my supercrop job all but one on top has come back, the one that hasnt has turned sort of brown on the bending point and it seems there is a rip(split open) in the fiber on the stem right there as well, not sure why.... I saw the same thing on a supercrop my roommate did for me on the lower branch that was growing into the AKR. I just cut it off, the whole branch was about 10 inches long, so I cut it in half and used it as two clones, set up my cloning station inside the room and boom bam bing, everything is rolling. I am going to clone the boss hogg when it hits the trellis, probably just use the branches I end up lollipoppin. I will take several bh clones, and flower one of them by itself under a lamp in my house, lmao. I am only doing so to tell the sex before I flower in my one tent.


I will probably only be vegging for the next week or two, I don't care really if I go over a 3 week veg, pretty sure I already am due to the stuntin I put on those bitches. I already have the whole next grow planned out as well. I am going to be using granulated rockwool in my current pots and be doing a semi hydroponic run. If you look up the definition of hydroponics its basically that you give your plants everything it needs through the waterings so TECHNICALLY it is hydro but yeah, lol. Sorry for the rambling guys, I just got some crazy ass cheese. I will use the general hydro nutes, flora series and utilize a drain to waste system along with a drip irrigation system. I plan to get a claber oasis drip machine for the drip irrigation. For drain to waste I will have the pots sitting in large bins or buckets with a rubber hose fitted on the bottom via a grommet. When the water fills up the bins I just suck on the hose once and get it flowing into a 10 gallon bucket and voila, simple and easy drain to waste. The most similar hydroponic system would probably be flood and drain and dwc.

GAH! Fucking spider mites! Little red buggers this time, had a different breed my first go around, in my basement. I soaked the shit out of the underside/topside of every leaf on every plant and poured my neem oil mixture spray(I made a revised version, its a bit stronger, 99% iso prop alcohol, Hydrogen Peroxide, Neem Oil, dish soap, and a little bit of superthrive in there as well for a bit of a bounce-back from the mites) in the pots around the stem to get any buggers in the soil as well.

Buying the hotshot no pest strips tommorow morning and getting some lady bugs as well, going to arse abuse these little mites before they fuck my plants up, I hate these little guys.


You guys think its cool to have the pest strip up with lady bugs in the tent?

Just read up on it, apparently not.... I will just hang up the no pest strip for about a week or maybe a week and a half then I will introduce the lady bugs.

Going to buy a pyrethum fogger tommorow and hit the tent, haven't seen a mite since the first spray and only one leaf seemingly is effected. I have been spraying with a mix I made up on my own while baked, its just a mixture of a bunch of shit I know/heard mites don't care for;
Neem oil
99%iso prop alcohol
hydrogen peroxide
the smallest possible amount of superthrive(less than a drop)
palmolive original concentrated dish soap non antibacterial
and a rooting solution that doubles as foliar feed

I add the superthrive and foliar feed to give them a little boost ya know, they got those little fuckers. I have been spraying in the mornings unfortunately lol, didn't know to spray at night but live and learn I guess. I am spraying every night from tonight for the next two weeks, strangely the leaves on the boss hogg are starting to curl down and in toward the stem, still looking dark green and healthy so I am not sure why, probably just gave it a little too much water on the last feed. I am so glad I saw them basically the moment they arrived, I think they came through the AC so I put my girlfriends panties inside the tube and sprayed it with some hotshot shit, got some of that pest strip oil on em and sprayed with the neem oil solution as well. Didnt tell my girl yet....hahahaha
Im glad I am not having too much of a problem however, I had just begun to think the neem oil I was spraying weekly was not nessecarily useless but not really required, about a week and a half after stopping the 3 day a week sprays I get bugs, learned my lesson there, the neem is a really good preventative. After a tip from a friend I found out you have to leave a sponge with water to feed the lady bugs I will probably just leave half of them outside the tent in the room, the mantis seemingly all left that I put outside, however I dont see any other bugs either so I don't know.

OK, so I am an idiot, the spray I used was pretty strong, I wanted it to kill those m*fckers* pretty quick but I was supposed to use it more lightly I guess every 3-5 days. I have used it 3 days in a row a total of 4 times, almost all of the leaves on the boss hogg are curling down from what I thought was over watering but I think its now the spray. So I won't hit it for another week and we will see how it is, when this is all said and done I will hit all the plants with either superthrive or some revive from AN. I was looking for the ingredients of ST and didn't find them on the bottle....sketchy?

God I hate myself for fucking with the boss hogg, she was so beautiful, I can rest easy knowing she will eventually bounce back as all plants do, I might give all these girls a 6 week veg, interestingly enough the girl scout's leaves seem softer and look darker green, everytime I bend a shoot under the net the next night one more pops up. So the gsc has hit it and should fill in the next two weeks.

Hello all! Its been a minute, I know, the afghan kush is still sufferring from the stress of the snapped branch and that spray, its outside in my yard. Both of the oscilating fans I had in there blew out, lol. I got a new fan that has a stand and I have it positioned in between the two plants blowing on them both. I ordered a bag of slow release co2 off ebay, should be here next week. Will be posting pic updates soon, the only reason I dont post too many pics is because I don't want you guys looking at the same shit over and over again, it seems alot more exciting to see half a foot of growth at a time in my opinion. The girl scout is starting to go from dark healthy looking green to having a few rusty looking leaves and some of the leaves seem to be fading to a lighter green color. I have only been using water this whole time so I figured that kelp meal is depleting, I read the bottle and decided to do half the dosage of what is listed as a general feeding, in this next week I might up it to half dosage of the heavy feeding.

I am moving to colorado soon(after summer shortly after harvest) so I am pretty psyched for that guys! Hoping to get a job working at a dispensary around those parts. I have been doing quite a bit of research and I know what my next grow room will be. I will be staying with my friend in his grandparents house(his grandparents are realtors and own a lot of property, they are letting my two friends and I stay in their 3 bed 4 bath house and we are all chippin in on the rent. I have already seen pics of the new house and I will utilize the walk in closet in the master. I am yet to get dimensions on the closet but already have it all planned out. I am going to build a false wall about 2 feet back in the closet, hang up one of those wooden bars/clothes bar and put some racks for storage on the fake wall, placing bongs and my stash on the racks(there is a reason for that, if ever discovered the person would think its just a stash spot and wouldnt ransack the whole closet, thinking they found the whole stash) put up a bunch of clothes on that wooden bar that I wont be wearing and put a large full body mirror (framed) on the fake wall with the trapdoor behind it, I am thinking I will use a simple lock with a thread leading somewhere in the closet or even outside the closet to pull/push and open it but not if you just pull or push on the door. Along with all of that, I would be putting a bookcase on hinges where the closet door is and have a dresser in the room, this way the closet/stash spot is hidden and if ever found they just think its a weed stash and not a grow room. Well I am done rambling just drop in any ideas if you have any!

Hey yall! And by yall at this point im probably only talking to KC, so whats up KC. I know its been a minute, a long minute, since I have been on here to provide an update, since before I harvested the akr. Well its not like i took off without reason, the NSA gave me quite a scare, anywho, im back at it.



the one on left is boss hogg the one on right is the girl scout cookies. They had a magnesium deficiency earlier on but its all fixed up now. These plants are about 2-4 weeks from harvest at most and I have got 2 outdoors that are just now going into flower as well. I had to mine a hole, (legitimately mine, I only had a flat shovel and a pickaxe and my dirt is filled with boulders so it took me about 3 hours to get a hole in the ground equivalent to about 80 gallons. So I dug two 80 gallon holes next to each other and filled them both half and half with some potting soil(that I stole from a construction site that has a pile of like 12 tons of potting soil laying around) then 1/4 happy frog in both and the rest is blood meal, bone meal, kelp meal, and manure. The girls outside are chernobyl and girl scout cookies(yeah I got another gsc) Funny enough the gsc is becoming very bushy because of all of the LST and super cropping I did to it as a clone, when it was about 8 inches tall I super cropped it, then the next day I LST'd the main stem to the side of the pot and then put it up in a tree, transplanted it before I went on vacation and it 4x in size. So this 80 gallon pot should at least double the size of them currently. I am trying to lst the branches of the gsc so it can get more even light distribution on the nugs, it will be a monstrous bush when its harvested it was enough dirt to fill a whole trash can basically in each hole. I am estimating about 5 ounces off each plant outside and 3-4 off each plant inside.
