Love the boring grows. Great looking plants Bob. Excited to see what you think of the produce.
Boring is good through flower. I haven’t seen my plants in a few days…hopefully still boring when I check in later today. I pulled two nanners off the fat purple bud early, not much excitement other than the bulk and frost factors. Cheers
You did a fantastic job with your GSC plants @bobrown14 . You are a true herbal artist with mad skills.

Any discernible aromas on any plants?

Most all smell like dank soil with a little cat piss in there for effect. lol
2 of the plants had a slight berry smell. This should improve with the curing process.
I've found anything possible during cure.
A friend of mine and me banged out the trim yesterday. Full 8 hours x 2 people was a good time. I found listening to Channel One Sound System to help with motivation. Highly recommended = old school Jamaican Sound System, 2 guys + sound machine + turntables and DUB.
No weights yet.... still a little moist. The stash in jars without lids.
Edit - smells more like berries today than dank. Estimated haul 14-16 zips trimmed in the cans.

Bobrown, with you on the cure transformation. My GSC odor was extremely foul and equally frosty…simmered down to skunky pine with some citrus funk. This is pre-cure…testers have me floored. Cheers

Testers for me were also great. A little wait time to kick in after 5 minutes boom.

In the jars and curing.
Put lids on the jars yesterday.
So I consider it dried and now the best part starts. Curing. Woot
Here's my rundown with the numbers.
Summary of how this run went.
Seeds = @Weed Seeds Express Girl Scout Cookies Feminized. No issues with these seeds. The breeder worked this line and I could tell by the quality and consistency of the plants. No herms which for GSC any other breeder I've used always had herms. Not these plants. So shout out to Weed Seeds Express for quality and constancy. I'm impressed with them. Thank you very much.

Lighting = @Mars Hydro FC-E6500 650W LED light bar Pro lamp with Blue and red/far red spectrum + full spectrum. Highly recommend this lamp. I've been completely happy with the result and performance and I'm impressed with the quality and yield.

NEW Mars Hydro FC-E6500 650W Commercial LED Grow Light For Indoor Plants
Soil = Coots mix fresh 1st run in 4 gal automated watering system.
Amendments = other than Coots mix which is already water only I supplemented with top dress @GeoFlora Nutrients VEG and FLOWER 3 x in VEG and 3 x in flower 3/4 cup of each in all the pots. Normally in a 4 gal pot start to finish without Geoflora my plants usually run out of steam. Coots mix is should be used in min 7gal containers if going start to finish. So VERY happy with GeoFlora. I've also been using this outside for sun grown and my plants LOVE it.

Gotta give another shout out to @Mars Hydro for the discount on the 5x5 tent I used. VERY VERY good quality tent HIGHLY recommend this one.
Link for tent:
Mars Hydro 5'x5' Indoor Grow Tent Plant Room 100%Reflective Mylar Home Box 600740983153 | eBay
Sale on now! Grab one HIGH-LY recommend.
Setup:
Normal setup with 5x5 Mars-Hydro tent fans on plants and extraction fan. My AC system is set up with filters that tco the weed smell. Only time I could smell plants was 15 minutes after lights out for about 10 minutes and it wasn't bad at all. Even in the room with the tent closed.
Organically grown - no pesticides no mildicides no special sauces nothing but water and no training or topping. I like to run seed I've never grown before all natural with minimum input from me. I'd run these again the exact same way. Maybe increase yield with a larger container. That wood be my only change, move to a 7.5gal coots mix up-can before flip to double yield.
Rundown with the numbers:
GSC #1 - 114g in the can dried
GSC #2 - 108g in the can dried
GSC #3 - 84g in the can dried
GSC #4 - 91g in the can dried
GSC #5 - 80g in the can dried - Lost about 20g to mold on the top cola.*
Grow totals = 477g total or 17 zips in the can plus some laf we puff while trimming.
1 pound + 1zip in a 5x5 @650w.
Quality is there in spades - more to come with a smoke report.
Note:
* We went away for a week vacation. Before we left RH in the grow room was low at around 50% rh - while we were in Canada the remnants of a hurricane came thru and dumped 10" of rain while we were away.
I had turned off my de-humidifier due to low humidity.
Came home soon as I walked in the door I could feel the humidity even with AC running. RH was +70%. GSC #5 was in the back corner with not a lot of air flow. Prolly all I needed to do was turn on the de-humidifier to avoid and do a wetable sulfur foliar in VEG to avoid the mold. All good cut it out toss and burn.
Thank you to all the sponsors

Congrats on the harvest. My initial big jar cure is almost ready for the weigh in. Enjoy bobrown14. Cheers
Excellent job, Bo. Your flowers look and sound great. You do have me a little worried about mould though. I don't think my plants have experienced an RH lower than 80% for their entire lives lol. It's the time of year and I can do little about it other than keep my fingers crossed.
Good job buddy.

What a fantastic show Bo, as usual. Job well done brother! 
Two things for sure, you grow some great cannabis and take excellent pictures.
That haul is impressive, gonna have to get some pointers when the time comes for me to grow.
Keep up the great work my friend, hope to be part of your next adventure as well
