Before you start growing Girl Scout Cookies, remember it’s one of the moderately difficult strains to grow. It’s best to have a few grows under your belt before attempting to cultivate Girl Scout Cookies.
It’s traits make it a candidate for SOG (sea of green) indoors in either a soil or hydro system. The lower canopy should always be pruned to have consistent airflow and prevent mildew from forming. Finally, they’re always thirsty for calcium and magnesium so it’s important to pay attention to growth and signs of deficiencies.
Girl Scout Cookies don’t grow taller than 100cm and they spend an average of 9 weeks in flowering where they can possibly yield 40 to 99 grams of fresh buds per square meter.
This grow journal looks at an experienced growers approach in nurturing one Girl Scout Cookie indoors.
Grower: xave420
Location: NA
Yield: 73 grams
Seeds: Girl Scout Cookies
April 1st
This grow started out with one Girl Scout Cookie seed. After germinating, it was placed in Botanicare Coco Grow with some perlite mixed in. It’s currently in a 1-liter pot but will be eventually transplanted into its final 4-gallon pot.
A 45W full spectrum LED with 45W 5500 CFL and 92W 6500K CFL will be used during the veg stage but will switch to a 2700K for flower. The grow area isn’t air-cooled but is kept at 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Light watering is done once per day.
Here’s the seedling finally starting to pop through the soil.
April 3rd
Here’s the baby 2 days after she grew out of the soil. You can see she’s almost an inch tall.
April 4th
Today, she was watered with 4mL of Nectar for the Gods, 3mL of Medusa’s Magic, 4mL of Gaea Mania, 4mL of Zeus Juice and 10mL of Athenas Aminas. It was topped with 10mL of Microbe Life Hydroponics Foliar Spray and Root Dip pH-ed to 6.1 with Olympus pH Up per gallon of water. This grow will take an all-organic approach with the goal of having a better quality over quantity.
April 6th
She’s starting to grow her second true set of leave. She looks really appealing under this lighting.
April 12th
Today is Day 11. Soo far, she’s looking good. She’s receiving nothing other than water and light nutes.
April 14th
This young lady is enjoying her new home – a 4-gallon smart pot.
April 17th
She’s 16 days old today and she’s adjusting pretty well from the latest transplant. It looks like she can tolerate another light shining down on her. Soon, an additional 54W LED will be added to this setup.
She’s taking to the nutrients pretty well. pH is maintained at 6.0 and 6.1.
April 23rd
Today, GSC was topped before she showed any signs of flowering.
April 29th
Doing a little LST but the leaves are just going straight up because the leaves just love the LEDs. They’re already 28 days old. She could have been bigger with chemical nutrients but the organic route should produce a healthy plant will little to no deficiencies or nute burn.
Bloom Khaos was added at 1/3 strength. She’s already putting out a strong, dank smell.
May 8th
Here she is trying to get as wide as possible before she goes into any kind of stretch and flowering at Day 37. She’s exploding into her flowering stretch. A bunch of pistils are appearing.
May 16th
She finally got some flowering on! She’s at Day 45 and a little more than halfway there. Everything is going great. Despite being moderately difficult, choosing all-organic nutrients and growing just one plant makes this an easy grow. She’s loving the Nectar for the Gods.
May 22nd
A 216W UFO light was added to the setup. This light boost should her flowering. Here she is at approximately Day 51 with 2.5 weeks of flowering.
