Looks tasty @Purple-N-Hairy
I’m with you bro…gsc has been a favorite of mine for years. Never gets old and soo many phenotypes
Thanks, @Stevie1durr & @anon81143130. Anyone who knows me well here on OG knows that I’ve been working with this girl for a couple of years. As I’ve said before, this is easily the best plant I’ve ever grown. Still, it’s a great feeling to see others appreciate her, so thanks again!
5 months later!
I thought about starting a new thread for this grow show, but I think it’s fits nicely in this thread.
OK, so here’s what’s going on. I originally planned to test 5 slightly different ebb & flow buckets to see which one was the most productive. I had these 5 GSC clones growing in preparation, but the trolley wheels in my LightRail failed 2 weeks ago. So while I was waiting for the parts to be delivered, the plants got too big for my test. Instead, we’re making:
GIANT COOKIES!!
This is what they looked like the day I wanted to start my test…
And this is what they looked like 5 days ago…
Yeah, they’re crowded, but still happy. And they’re even happier now that they each have a room of their own…
So 12/12 started last night. The can take anywhere from 69 to 80+ days to finish. The first few weeks will be pretty mundane, but I’ll keep updating to show how much they stretch.
Any guesses on my final weight? I’ve grown some pretty big plants in these 5 gallon buckets, so don’t be afraid to guess BIG!
Are you currently running DWC or aero? Your grows are always beautiful. I wish I had a spare shower
That tub is aero. It’s basically a 50 gallon version of my cloning/seedling bucket.
Aw, thanks @anon20530495!
roll out the cookies!
One month later…
Not much stretch, but boy did they fill out nicely. Lookin’ happy and healthy, and really starting to pack it on.
The great thing about trimming buds like this…
…is that you get trim that looks like this:
And there’s about 170 grams of it…
Based on what I typically get from my GSC trim being processed into RSO, I should get almost 19 grams of super-potent RSO.
That was a great tutorial you did on the RSO
One question: what’s your source for those 5 gallon coffee filters?
Cheers

Thanks, @Gpaw!
I believe I got my current supply from ebay, but you can probably find them on Amazon or a number of commercial restaurant supply outlets. The brand I have is Bunn. Not cheap, so buy in bulk to save a little $$.

Like most of you who trim by hand, I HATE TRIM PRISON!! But I must be a glutton for punishment, because when I trim my buds, I always do it twice . How many of you do the same thing?
Here’s my process (using Fiskars Pruning Snips like these):
So I start with a bud that looks like this:
And after my first round of trimming, it looks like this:
After I trim the 2nd time, I end up with this:
And these:
Truth be told, I’m not really a glutton for punishment - there’s a method to my madness. I’m looking for the best quality trim possible…like this:
With this, I can make an excellent quality RSO. I used to make bubble hash with my trim, but I got rid of my bags before I started growing this specific GSC. I’m guessing that I could make some decent bubble hash with this trim, too, because as I’ve show in my RSO tutorial thread, I get about an 11% return (by weight) with this trim.
The GSC is soon beautiful. I had some Forum Cut grown by Koma couple years back, I couldn’t stop toking it, the cookie dough dankness. Yours is so lovely with the colors.
Beautiful buds as always!
My trimming looks more like your first trim. I grow more for family and friends than myself, so if they want a better trim job they can do it.
@Purple-N-Hairy Was that a rhetorical question!?
Indeed!! We want’em cookies!! Damn!
Amazing garden!! Kudos!
