How easy is it to grow two types of cannabis at once?
This grow journal records a grower’s attempt at growing two cannabis strains – Girl Scout Cookies and Gorilla Glue – at the same time. While this practice will produce more weed and give you the luxury of having different strains with different effects on hand.
Girl Scout Cookies, or GSC, is a hybrid cannabis whose reputation grew beyond the borders of its homeland in California. The amounts of THC in the Girl Scout Cookies has won it countless awards among smokers and growers.
GSC is moderately difficult to grow. It doesn’t grow taller than 0.75m thus making it ideal for an indoor cultivation. It flowers within 7 to 9 weeks and can produce 40 to 99 grams of usable cannabis per square meter.
Gorilla Glue is an evenly balanced hybrid which packs a crazy, powerful high which fuels your mind with a pretty high THC level. The high starts with a cerebral high that will leave you feeling happy yet totally hazy, unable to focus on anything or on any task.
It’s another moderately difficult strain to cultivate. You better have plenty of space in your grow area because this strain can reach higher than 2 meters in height. With its height also comes a productive yield. This strain can produce 100 to 250 grams of usable bud per square meter after a flowering period of 7 to 9 weeks.

June 2nd
This grow journal started with 6 different clones of 2 strains: 5 Girl Scout Cookies and 1 Gorilla Glue. They were cultivated indoors in Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil in 4 5-gallon pots and 2 3-gallon pots. Light is provided by 1 600HPS light which is on 18/6 light cycle.
So far the temperature is maintained around 78 degrees F. Room humidity hovers between 55% and 77%. PPM is around 400 to 700 PPM depending on which fans are running.
These 6 plants are watered every 3rd day. They’re also fed with ¼ dose of Flora Series Performance Pack starting from the end of week 3.
All 6 ladies are still in veg. They started outdoors for about 3 weeks while waiting for the indoor grow area to be completely setup. Now, they’re just a little over 3 weeks old and looking happy inside the 4’ x 4’ x 6’ grow tent which was fully sealed just recently. The grow tent also has an air scrubber hooked to the cooling automation.

The Gorilla Glue looks the healthiest and in the beginning it looked like it’s the most burnt. Unfortunately, all the plants’ bottom leaves are showing the same sign of light yellowing.
It seems like they’re not getting enough nutrients so an additional ¼ of feeding amount was added to 4 gallons of water.

The AC unit came in. With its dual port, it’s capable of pulling in air to cool the condenser and then recirculate the air in the grow tent. It doubles as a dehumidifier during the cooler times of the day.
Sad update: saw an aphid, a spider, and a teeny tiny black crawly. They were all removed but it’s not cool.
Here are updated photos of the ladies with the AC unit vs 3 days ago. You can see how much they have grown and became much greener.

Seems like the AC can only help to a certain extent so it was taken out and CO2 should compensate for the higher temperatures. Right now everything exhausts and there’s only 1 intake fan. This works to keep an even negative pressure and to add a nice flow to the tent.
Today the ladies got a good trim and were fed with water. They badly needed it because they’re growing a few inches every single day.

Iron deficiency seems to be an emerging concern in some of the plants. New leaves are pale green. pH is around 7.0. Here are some photos of the plants.
June 27th
Multiple leaves were removed multiple times the night before the flip to flowering light cycle. Here are some shots from the bottom and from the top. You can see all the plants are cleaned underneath.

Unfortunately, they have stunted because of a couple of factors. First is when they were outside for 3 weeks where they had a 12/12 light scenario. When they moved back into the tent, they were switched to 18/6. This move probably stressed the plants as they transitioned back to veg.
Second, they were doing great after the trim but they were subjected to a heat wave which caused a lot of dead growth. After a trim and a good feeding, the girls are stretching again but they’re less lively.
