The plants in the white pots were going to circle a 600w right next to big brother and begin flowering on day 35 of current run, but...

I had to put that on hold, due to some pollen sacks found on a few lower branches of a couple plants currently flowering so I'm not going to risk my whole op.

Until then I've been moving them daily to the hps room when it comes on and moving them back into the fluorescent when the lights go out, to supplement the rest of their 18hr day.

My 2 outdoor plants are also in the mix getting prepped to hit the sun.

And before I catch some slack on not covering that back wall with panda poly. I ran out after building 2, 5x5x6 wood frame tents.


I'll get around to it soon or later.

Looking good bro.. I swear at 3 week my gsc looks 1 1/2 - 2 behind what normal strains would like at the same stage ...

It will. She doesn't shoot her first pistols until the end of week 2. If your used growing anything with any weight behind it, this Gsc will keep you trippen.

I love the quality, flavor, and effect.

Other than that, her yield blows.

The whole grow you'll be waiting for some magical swell to come but 70 days later, it doesn't come.

I have also found that if you top to many times,
more than 3 max, you don't get colas. Lol just a shit load of quarter size nugs.

I was pretty experienced my 600w light and with my old purple urkle pheno pulled 460-480g every harvest. I couldn't get better than 320g with GSC.

I'm still dialing but we'll see what the 1k's brings me.

In my current flower I have 1 plant that developed a few (in Gsc terms) huge tops. I believe this is because this plant was only topped twice and I pinched the stalk a twice to try and slow it down some as it was a few days older than.

On these new plants in the white pots you see, I'm training to model that. Only going to top once and pinch once. See where that puts me.

It's all about learning your cut and how to maximize performance.

hand water 3x a day : x haha Looking good man. I'll be lurking around...


~mr. gt

Thanks Mr. gt

Ha hell yeah! It ain't no thing. 1hr in the morning, 10 mins at lunch 10 mins after dinner. 1hr 20mins in the garden everyday gives me a great connection to my garden.



I feed 25oz per plant per watering 3x a day. When I'm in 2 or 3 gal pots its 50oz per plant twice a day.

Yeah my GSC looked way behind the others but now on week 6 it is catching up. I'm also running 91 chem and interestingly that looks the most advanced despite the 9 to 10 week flower time. I think individual environmental factors can play a role, as well as nutrients, etc.

Sleeper, GSC is notoriously a crap yielder from what I'm told. Keep up the great work maybe this round will surprise you!

Yeah at about mid week 6 is when she starts to swell but its slow and it keeps you guessing.

I totally agree on the variables/style of the grower being the sole most determining factor on what it can produce. As with any strain.

This is just my second round with her so I'm still trying to figure her out. Due time my friend.
