First Grow: Mainline Girl Scout Cookies with Platinum LED P4-XML2

Sorry for the delay in updating. It's not been clear sailing, and the noob experiences have shamefully piled up. On the plus side, the pH has remained within range for the most part, resumed following the Fox Farms nute scheduling into flowering. As of yesterday, the low humidity issue has been resolved. The method to keep the buds raised were entirely out of necessity, ha ha ha...nothing fancy.

So, these pics were taken today...so almost 7 weeks into flowering.

Major problem was the unanticipated flowering stretch. My flowers grew into my lights by week 4/5, an I did not resolve it.

Bud/Flower Pics (Finally!!)

Thanks for sharing @Merton. How did the grow turn out?

It was my first grow, so overall it went OK. However, I could have done a lot better. Unfortunately I did not have much viable bud. I encountered many problems: I had 3 plants, one or two of them literally grew into the light, I forgot to flush, there was no curing...just poor amateur mistakes.

My second round is nearing completion. I may start a grow journal, or just continue it here.

All good man. Everyone's gotta start somewhere. Looking forward to see how the second grow turns out. Best of luck @Merton!

Thanks Tjohnson! I will try to get some pics of the new crop on here before the end of the week.

I feel you. Only thing for me my first run gave me 2.5 zips... my second barely a zip. I made the noob mistakes on my second one, lol

I feel you bro, my first grow was longest 90+ days but had a good harvest. 2+ oz per plant 6 autos , every grow after. that was worst than previous...

Thanks! Yeah, the training on those GSC worked great! I was really happy with how well those knuckles developed!

As for the light...it's still going strong. I am really pleased with it!

So, here is round 2. They are supposedly in their 8th week of flowering, however due to timer issues I think somehow they re-veged. I put them in 24 hour darkness to "remind" them to flower, along with double checking the damn timer every day. I also trimmed up some tiny little stems that began to grow out the top of each cola.

The most developed bud you see in the pics is currently being flushed (the two colas on the left side). Only one more week until harvest if they are still looking good.

Also, these are only 5 plants. Mixed genetics, I have a blackberry, a GSC, and an Aurora Indica or an AK-47.

Looking good @Merton...starting to fill out nicely. Tricomes are looking good. Appreciate the update!
