#6 Vulgar Display of Power

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.
