Some shots of my Girl Scout Cookies from Fast Buds, grown in Coco under a 450w LED, a 300w LED, a sad red and blue LED I got with my Tent and a 130w CFL. The Tent is 1m x 1m x 2m. The pots are 20lt and I am using Coco with about 30% expanded Clay Balls, I also put a 3cm layer of sand about halfway down the pot and again at the bottom. The idea being to replicate the strata of natural soils. I give them about 2lt of water/nutrients every day and then leave them to dry out every 7th day. The temperature is kept in check by a 4in intake and a 4in outtake fan, the outtake fan has a Carbon Filter to keep smells out of my garage. I have managed to get all that stuff for about $500 AUD. They are probably 3 weeks from finish, or more if they need it. They popped at different times, so the oldest - plant at the front - is 10 days older than the youngest - back, on the right. I attempted to 'fim' them, but somehow didn't do it right on the oldest plant, but not to worry, I can compare yields with the two 'finmed' plants for future reference. Really happy with the grow so far, the plants have survived extreme cold - it was down to -6°c on one night - terrible condensation, I had no intake/outtake fans at the time and my complete lack of experience in growing Cannabis plants. This is my first grow and its been a real joy, I must give credit to all the good people on this Forum who have helped me get from seeds to plants.
 
I was never expecting to get results like this, I thought I would bumble through probably 4 or 5 grows before I got proper frosty buds and crazy fat colas ! The girls are really loving the way I am doing things. My goal was to get about 100g all in on my first grow, now I can't even guess what the final weigh in will be. I am guessing the big girl at the front might do that herself. She has probably 8 fat colas with big buds spreading up them around the big main one, the two I did fim properly look like they will have maybe 4 main colas each and about 8 around the 4 main colas. I am dead set amazed ! I cannot take much credit, I learnt almost everything here, added to my years of growing and breeding my own Chillies, I have ended up with these fantastic plants. I have 3 more following them, I have a Sour Crinkle, Blue Toof and Auto Cush from Mephisto Genetics growing in the tent too, they are about two weeks old, I can't wait to see them develop as they all have seriously mad frosty buds - thats why I ordered them. I ordered the Blue Toof and Sour Crinkle, the Auto Cush came free, its their version of Green Crack - that should be awesome.
 
So after round 2 of growing this King Tut Autoflower turned out much better, better buds and they feel and look dense, rock hard, however I expect that to change as it dries.

Here she is before chopping and the aftermath...

She was hung to dry last night. Final manicure will happen before she goes into jars to cure!

Anyone wanna take a stab at how much she will weigh when dry? I am guessing half ounce but I suck at judgement

Thank you EastCoastGhost, I hope they medicate well! 2.25 ounces, I like that number!!


They are beautiful looking buds. I am going to go with 100g weighed up.

100g weighed up dried?? Holy smokes! I hope you are right haha Thank you, buds look nice and she just flat out stinks!!

Went to bed last night and the wife told me today she though I brought the plant to bed...told her next time I will haha
 
I would sleep in my Tent if I could fit I could sit and watch my plants all day. They are really starting to get fat and stinky. Every time I water the plants I end up covered in sticky stinky resin. I have to go and wash my self before my Wife and Mum - she is here for a visit for a few weeks - get their noses homed in my secret garden

My Girl Scout Cookies from Fast Buds, the oldest plant is 73 days today, that one is front and centre, I have her under a 300w LED, the two in the back are 66 days and 63 days old. They are under a 450w LED. Oddly, the biggest cola is on the youngest plant, she is going mad ! I messed up fimming the oldest plant - how I managed that I do not know - the other two have really responded well to the fimming, they have loads of huge colas, I guess I will see how well they responded when I finally cut them down and weigh up the buds.

Its my first proper grow (a couple of shitty bagseed capers 25 years ago aren't counted !) I can't believe how they have grown !

You should be proud of your girls. You have really been doing a great grow.
