420 Magazine's Official Girl Scout Cookies Comparative Grow By BooWho2

:thumb: Growing nicely Boo.
 
Happy Tuesday all! :ciao: Just a small update with a couple of questions for the gallery....
GSC#1, which I am growing solo in my 2x4 tent, is 60 days old today.

She's almost 3 feet tall (from the bottom of the grow bag to her top) and has been topped once. I feel like maybe it's time to think about flipping her to 12/12?

I yanked that stray branch on the left over and secured it to maintain the "rectangle".
I started hardening #3 and #4 yesterday and brought #2 in on the fun today (along with two little autos - Amnesia and CBD). #s 3 and 4 are 39 and 37 days old. GSC #2 is 60 days old just like #1.:cheesygrinsmiley:

I really feel like I should top #3 soon, she’s pretty tall. Thoughts?

GSC #4 is in the front right in this pic. She’s reallystarting to burst with growth. GSC #2 is right behind her.

Once they've been outside I don't want them back in the Playhouse so they are going to hang on the deck overnight. The deer have been ravaging all of my flowers, our tomatoes, the Rose of Sharon Plants, the hops, etc. They’ve been coming right up to the front door and having a buffet. :straightface: It pisses me off. I'm seriously afraid they will go after the MJ plants too. Hell, we had a bear in the back yard last week (about 100 feet from the Playhouse) who waltzed right up to a bird feeder and pulled it down - in broad daylight! We suspect a bear was on our deck a few nights ago too since Joe went nuts during the middle of the night and the next morning a huge planter with a bird feeder anchored in it was knocked down and the feeder gone. I'm not sure what's going on, but it's got me looking over my shoulder! Anyway...back to the update...
I think I FIMed my FIM because it looks like just one cola growing up. I did that to GSC #2. She's a beautiful plant.

I'm thinking of topping her. Too soon?
That’s it for now. :peace: :love:

Should probably re-name those to "bear feeders".... :rolleyes:

I thought you might have went just a smidgen too high on your FIM, but I wasn't sure since I've only done it once, by accident...I'd top that one and the other one (#3), while you've got the clippers out.....

All your plants are looking fantastic, not that there was ever any doubt!
 
I have to keep my outside plants on a table to keep the rabbits and javelinas from eating them. We have deer too but they don’t usually come right up to our house - just out in my big desert mountain yard. Your plants all look great! Looks like you might run out of height space with your inside plant after your flip I heard it doubles in height.
 
Boo, you are clearly over the edge with this grow thing. You're wondering about whether you FIMed and FIM with a friggin' bear around that likes to lounge on your deck! :lot-o-toke:

BTW, your plants look great! And, yes, I think it's time to top flip the one in the 2x4, just in case she decides to go into beast mode.:Rasta:
 
Hi Websissy! :ciao: Yeahhh….the deer. We have a bit of a sanctuary around here for them but eating my beautiful flowers and potentially my weed ain’t gonna cut it around here.:straightface:

Yep! I’ve been seeing that around here so that’s why I mentioned it! :cheesygrinsmiley: I can do 6’ but that’s pushing it!

She already has been topped. :cheesygrinsmiley: That’s #1. I was asking about the forked up FIMed plant #2 and also the maniac #3 which you pointed out earlier. :laughtwo:

Most GSC growers seem to be flipping to flowering around 40 to 45 days so I think 60 days is definitely overdue.

I was told by someone (@InTheShed ?) that they usually top their outside plants between the 7th and 9th node.

I did the same thing, Boo with my GSC3. I thought I had Fimmed it correctly but @Freak Brothers pointed out that I hadn't so I topped it this morning.

That was me! BeezLuiz tops lower but he also tops more than once to get his enormous bushes. His plants are much bigger than mine at harvest in his 20 gallon pots!
 
They are looking fantastic! Great job on all of them. I got a little behind but all caught up now. I have one outside now too but I'm not sure when to top her. She's already at node 7 but super short and stocky. I want to at least get a full 6 feet of height out of her if possible.
 
OMG those are beautiful plants!

I'm not sure I've seen any thinner leafed GSCs in the Comparative....but I'm sure there are some!

beez0404 has one thin-leafed of his four, seen here!

Flip time for sure!

FIMs don't seem to be easy to do considering they're supposed to be when you fuck up! I gave up trying. 🤷

Considering a) it's outside, and b) you have many variations growing of different shapes and sizes, I'd say leave it alone and grow a freakin' tree! :thumb:

Oops. I meant to say "flip" the one in the 2x4. I edited my comment to ease my pain. :straightface:

LoL. Ridiculous! I need to put some restraints on her first. Maybe by weeks end. ;). Thank you!
 
Happy Wednesday! Thank you all for the input on the plants. I’m going to strap the branches tightly on #1 and will flip maybe on Friday. I will also top #s 2 and 3. I would like to take some clones but I dont have anything specific for cloning. I do have some clone powder stuff, but that’s about it. The totes on both 2 and 3 are gorgeous. Are those good parts to try and clone or should I take branches? :thanks:
 
I do better with branch ends but occasionally I can get a top to root.

Are you going to try @Virgin Ground's perlite/water method? Seems simplest to me.

I wanted to but she uses rinsed perlite I believe. I don't have that but maybe the Ace hardware will?
 
Rinsed perlite is just perlite you rinse! For solo cups a colander will do just fine.
