Girl Scout Cookies - 2d Attempt - Hydroponic Grow

July-Nov 2024 Grow

Here’s the detailed base information for my Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) plant, written in the first person: Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) Plant Overview Strain: Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) Breeder: Irvine Seeds Company Lineage: OG Kush x Durban Poison Type: Indica Dominant Hybrid Sex: Feminized Flowering Time: 55-60 days Description: My Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) plant is a real gem, combining the best traits of its parents, OG Kush and Durban Poison. The aroma is sweet and earthy, just like freshly baked cookies, which always brings a sense of comfort and nostalgia. This strain strikes the perfect balance between euphoria and deep relaxation, making it great for unwinding after a long day or sharing with friends during a cozy gathering. I find it particularly helpful for alleviating anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, and it’s also great for stimulating appetite. Whether I’m looking to relax solo or with company, GSC is always up to the task, providing a warm, soothing embrace that’s ideal for evening use. Watering Schedule Frequency: I water every other day or whenever the soil appears dry. Duration: I make sure to thoroughly hydrate the root system, typically until water begins to drain from the bottom of the pot. Nutrient Feeding Schedule for GSC with Automatic Watering System Vegetative Stage: • Weeks 1-4: • FloraMicro (5-0-1): 5 ml per gallon • FloraGro (2-1-6): 10 ml per gallon • FloraBloom (0-5-4): 2.5 ml per gallon • CALiMAGic (1-0-0): 5 ml per gallon • BioRoot (0-1-1): 10 ml per gallon • Floralicious Plus (2-0.8-0.02): 1 ml per gallon (Optional) • Hydroguard (0-0-0.25): Adjust according to soil condition • Watering Schedule: I water every 3 days for 2-3 minutes, depending on the water output (adjust as needed). Flowering Stage: • Weeks 5+: • FloraMicro (5-0-1): 5 ml per gallon • FloraGro (2-1-6): 5 ml per gallon • FloraBloom (0-5-4): 10 ml per gallon • CALiMAGic (1-0-0): 5 ml per gallon • BioRoot (0-1-1): Optional • Floralicious Plus (2-0.8-0.02): 1 ml per gallon (Optional) • Hydroguard (0-0-0.25): Adjust according to soil condition • Watering Schedule: I stick to watering every 3 days for 2-3 minutes, adjusting based on the water output and plant needs. Additional Considerations: • Watering Time: I ensure the watering system runs during cooler parts of the day to prevent rapid evaporation. • pH Monitoring: I regularly check the pH of the nutrient solution to keep it within the optimal range for soil (6.0-6.8). • Manual Adjustments: I adjust the nutrient mixture and watering frequency based on how the plant responds and any environmental changes. Nutrients: • FloraMicro (5-0-1) • FloraGro (2-1-6) • FloraBloom (0-5-4) Supplements: • Cal-Mag (1-0-0) • Floralicious Plus (2-.8-.02) • BioRoot (1-0-0) • Silica Blast (0-0-0) • Clonex (1-.4-1) This detailed base information should cover all aspects of my GSC plant’s care. If I notice anything that needs tweaking or adjusting, I’ll update it accordingly.
