Gandalf's Girl Scout Cookies[First Grow]

GandalfTheGreen Under a makeshift humidity dome. First attempt inside my newly constructed grow wardrobe, no teething issues yet.

GandalfTheGreen Over watering early on has stunted the growth considerably. Pictures are 14 days after previous diary entry. I waited to keep it true to 2 weeks. Each diary will be weekly now. If growth doesn't pic up I will have to consider starting again with better water

GandalfTheGreen Finally starting to bounce back after some really slow beginnings. Some of the first few leaves came through warped. Probably due to PH issues which I (wrongfully but successfully) fixed with an overdose of nitric acid. I now have access to Reverse Osmosis water which should make a huge difference.

GandalfTheGreen Very bunched up growth, looking forward to flowering and perhaps a bit of stretch! Course I'm growing with LEDs so should expect a 'shrubbier' plant Growth still slower than expected. These nutrients were tailored for my local tap water so will try them with that again or buy some new ones to use with RO water

GandalfTheGreen A lot more growth between the nodes, not the best thing when they are so bunched up.. Leaves frequently 'drooped' but no other symptoms of overwatering. Im Hoping the roots are okay!

GandalfTheGreen Flowering is really starting to take off, but not really seeing much of a stretch! Over-watered a bit which has faded the lower fan leaves but she recovered quick. Leaves have been 'canoeing' so have the fan blowing directly across this one's canopy at the moment.

GandalfTheGreen Plant looking happy after a nice flush. Flowering is really kicking in but no sign of stretch. I removed a couple of battered leaves (from under-watering and nutes split on them) but seems to be without any real shock. Fair bit of sugar leaf appearing on this, will make some nice extract!

GandalfTheGreen Really starting to look frosty! Tied a few branches down to allow a little more light to the budsite. The mainstem has really shot up, looking like it could be a great set of buds.

GandalfTheGreen Buds are coming together and making one nice big cola up the main stem. Branches really strong on this one. Smell is wonderful, very much like some Cookies Kush I had recently! Not sure how much longer until harvest, I'm hoping not long!

GandalfTheGreen The cola on the mainstem are pretty much at capacity! The buds surrounding still have a bit to go. Will start a flush in the next couple of days in preparation for harvest! This plant looks like it will be a statement of quality over quantity.

GandalfTheGreen Pistrils starting to turn brown and the majority of trichrome heads are looking cloudy. Most of surrounding kolas look like they could do with a little more fattening up but I will probably harvest within the week. Going to put her on a flush from here on out!

GandalfTheGreen 8g - Sugar leaf 6g - popcorn/airy buds 43g - Quality Buds I haven't included the sugar leaf In my final total, but I will update this comment once I have processed it into wax extract. Smallest bit of bud rot after a couple of days drying, though it is likely to have appeared during the grow and not discovered. Only lost maybe a gram or two. The plant did keep quite small, but yeilded well considering it was my first proper grow. Great fun growing it not sure if I'll be doing this exact strain again, but I know I will be trying in the 420 fastbuds range!
