I am so stoked right now 420 Mag Fam! Right before the GSC Comparative Grow was about to kick off, I worked with @BESTVA LED and they agreed to let me test out their Pro4000 !!! They agreed to send it to me early for the GSC Comparative Grow and I would showcase it for the next grow journal too.
For this introductory post, I will be introducing the genetics first. The next section will be about the lights!
Speaking of genetics...
I was fortunate to get a chance to test out some seeds!
Thank you @Herbies Seeds team!!!
After excellent communication with the Herbies Seeds team, they were confident that I would be beyond impressed with the Godzilla Cookies genetics and that I should have no issues with their cultivation. I am already chompin' at the bit to see those massive colas. They were confident that an auto newbie wouldn't have an issue with these! Thank you Herbies team for entrusting me with your genetics and I will do my best to showcase their potential.
I have to be honest and admit that I have been a very nervous about growing autos. So much tension and fears about certain practices that can cause negative results. It just plain spooked me. I can only relate to when I was scared about adding more exotic Alocasias to my plant collection. It just took some time to say screw it, throw some $ to the desire, and see what transpired.
After reading some recent autoflowering discussions here, my concern/anxiety about growing autos is slowly melting away.
I cannot preach enough how impressive and informative the Herbie's Seeds website is. I feel it is a great example of how informative pages should be for every cultivar. Excellent visuals and easy to understand from the newest of growers to the most advanced.
Grow Info: Appearance and Grow Tips
"Without much work, you’ll be able to produce big, dense buds the size of ping pong balls when growing Godzilla Cookies Auto. Expect absurd levels of trichome production – this strain is a great candidate for producing hash, cannabis oil, and other concentrates. Godzilla Cookies Auto is sought-after for beginners and commercial growers alike: it’s an easy grow that can produce up to 600g/m² (2oz/ft²). Our strain is also popular worldwide, as it can withstand common plant diseases and cold climates that usually cause mold and mildew."Growing Godzilla Cookies Auto is deceptively simple, but here’s a few tips to help you get the most out of your bud:
- Godzilla Cookies Auto grows monstrously fast, and can reach heights of 110cm (3’7”). Because of that, you’ll want to add support for heavy branches early in flowering.
- Tie the side branches down to help increase your yields during the flowering stage. When you do that, you’ll also increase the number of flowering sites.
- This strain is a pungent one (in a good way). It’s worth purchasing a carbon filter to prevent the lemon/fuel smell from filling your house!
These images were from my previous GSC grow. I thought it would be best to showcase how well it has already worked for me.
I anticipate more great output from this light!
And for the info that matters most!
I am going to trust myself and put my heart into the soil. I know that is not everyone's cup of tea. That's what is great about being here though. We can still admire, respect, and cheer each other on with our different methods.
I will be recycling the soil from the previous GSC grow. There are four 7 gallon containers with each holding roughly 5-6 gallons of soil. It was all topdressed with @GeoFlora Nutrients from start to finish. I know the soil is already pre-charged and ready to rock again!
It is loaded with life and A LOT more of this! This is an old pic but I love worms and soil!
I am at my wits end for this evening. It took me a very long time just to get this far and I feel like I haven't even got half of what's in my mind out.
I don't think I'll be tagging folks. Please don't be offended. I really do want to but it is a weird mental thing about doing it, forgetting people, tagging people that may not want to follow but then feel compelled to follow because of guilt... Just trust me...
I'm going to just let it grow organically and let it flow how it may. If you follow along I'd be honored.
Peace and blessings to you all. I really do mean that. This beautiful plant brings me peace and blessings. Seeing all of you grow your plants brings me the same.
My evening journal companion which I'm SUPER pissed at! Anyone want a spoiled brat?!
