Batter up, Girl Scout Cookies extreme auto (GSCE)

[RagWeedDWC]

Drop the seed into soak, this morning.
Tote is ph adjusted 5.5 and has 8 mil RapidStart
Seed is soaking in lthe ittle bottle with same solution.
Next door neighbor is my Jack Herrer grow.

I wonder how GSCE compares to regular GSC, or if there is really a difference. Anyone have personal experience?

[RagWeedDWC]

Damn, love it when folks put their selves into the research. Great read

[RagWeedDWC]

I have had one heck of a time getting the seeds started, pretty sure one was mistaken for a bug, but the rest just thru a little tap root and died. My fourth attempt has finial shed its helmet. Fingers crossed.

[starramus]

@ RagWeedDWC Damn that's not a good batting average. ILGM seeds are quite pricey too. If third time is a charm what is 4th time? Good luck, and I hope you get your comparison.

[RagWeedDWC]

Batter up, Batter flopped, not sure what happened, came in this morning and seed looks like it was pulled out nearly to the end of the tap. I think my bug patrol (lizard) might of thought the helmet wiggling in the wind was a snack.
So, sending in a pinch hitter with a restart of a second GSCE, soaking as we type.

[LurkingInTheGrass]

Sorry for your loss?

mazhaltov, or whatever you say at a seed soaking

[s62]

Following along! Hope round 2 sprouts with no more reptilian interference!

[RagWeedDWC]

I have finialy succeeded in getting a seed to start, have never had a problem in the past. I can ignore the hel

met head, at least its above ground.

[RagWeedDWC]

Yep, think its a keeper, hopefully it is a little more predictable, well as much as ladies can be :-)

[JohnEmad]

As an old Italian lady once said to me, "You no treat em right...they no flower for you"

[starramus]

Well great..... finally. I have been away so wasn't aware of the good news. Here's hoping that girl scout delivers the extreme you are looking for.

[s62]

My GSC was a helmet head too! She’s wonderful now, but I did have to remove the shell. It was stuck on tight. When I got it off, I was glad I did, as one of the cotyledons was yellow and dead from being stuck in there.

[RagWeedDWC]

Woke up to roots growing out the bottom of the cup this morning, she is a keeper.
GSCE 12 days

GSCE Grow
Day 22
GH 1/2 Strength

Some of the leaves on the bottom kind of look funky, may reduce nutes to match what I'm doing with the Jack Herrer

[RagWeedDWC]

Still having funky leaves, have double checked PH, added a tad more cal mag, but during the trimming yesterday found lots of "Bad" leaves.
Going to switch out totes, have one ready to go that has been cleaned and disinfected. In the tumble weed tote I found lots of algae growing under the lid, almost the whole top. Nothing grew on the sides, thinking that may have been the problem. I painted the top and the bottom on the current tote, but its still looks like a PH problem to me, although the algae is no longer growing.
Stumped.
Thoughts?

Trimmed her up pretty good, probably a bit to much, but have already harvested enough to last us more than a year with the JH grow, so this is just finishing what I started. May grow a WW just to see if I can get another Large tumble weed.

I agree with you when my leaf looks like that I do a flush but i'm in soil. I love them cookies.

Still fighting the CalMag or PH issue everything but the leaves looks normal, eating and drinking strong...

Have raised PH up to 6.2 <>2, thinking CalMag may be locked out and the plant has responded better, still getting crispy leaves though.
Thoughts?

[SoOrbudgal]

Dang I think your doing everything you can to correct it at this point it's a wait and see. It happens to me in soil with that symptom I do the same flush soil and repot into fresh mix no nutes then gradually add, but that's in soil. I know it slows down plants growth, sorry for the problem.

[RagWeedDWC]

Wife thinks it Karma for having such good luck with the Tumble weed grow.

Still having a heck of a time controlling PH, but buds are still budding along

[JohnEmad]

Short or long it looks like you will have another fine harvest.

[RagWeedDWC]

Thank You

[FunkyButtLovin]

It looks like this one will be another big producer.

[RagWeedDWC]

GSCE is growing, but I'm still fighting PH issues, switched to RO, flushed, adjusted Nutrients, placed the air pump outside the grow box (Co2?) no help. I Have read where this is a problem with GH and going by my past grows seems to be the case (I'm always fighting PH).

But it is still dressing up for the sugar ball.
