Any specifics on your grow or how the GSC grew; like needs lots of pruning, gets root bound easily, sensitivity to nutrients/soils, yields, and I guess overall value IYO. I have heard rumors from smokers and growers as well as related research and the GSC is said to be a short or low yielding strain. Some say it is finicky. There are many rappers like Berner who are always rapping about it. So not sure if the hype is real or if the "rumors" are just to keep people from "mocking" or trying to cross their own as the real thing. Thanks.
The GSC grew alongside a Blue Dream (started sold), and a GSC-family strain called Sherbet. The Blue Dream took off & god tall-smells great-very frosty. The Sherbet had the fastest root and veg growth. I tied them all over and down. The GSC was the slowest but has thick branches and it's dense with tight, small leaves. There was some light pollution from starting too fast after not being able to grow two years+. The GSC scared me like it was gonna hermie, got removed, is fine & in bud. it's the slowest budding of them. It seemed like it needed no light pollution to really set into bud. Not strip-light LED's..just not sealed well at first. I use Happy Frog, water, no nutrients. Often i recover & re-use water. The GSC stayed squat & does need time to veg. It's going to take longest to bud as well. They've been crowded, too hot, but temps are in low 70's at most. no leaf issues, others got some nitrogen burn just from a little added fertilizer in a 3 gallon-their soil is as strong as most plants can take. i usually add perlite. I did not pruning of any plants. I tie the branches down. On seeded plants I top unless i want to see how a new strain naturally grows without topping. The buds are weeks behind Sherbet and Blue Dream in settling into bud-mode. Key Lime Pie is another one more like Sherbet but scrawnier. GSC is what i look at as awesome weed to stunt on people with, which i enjoy. Having better weed, having weed you can legally grow in CA, that rivals or exceeds club weed is one bonus and a reason i grow variety & experiment over a run of identical clones. Clones are for speed and just producing good weed, guaranteed, and crossing to create new stuff that's fun and awesome and unique. I cloned GSC & Sherbet. And home-made Urkle OG i have not ever bloomed yet but is certain to be good. Plus mother plant is almost a four footer with another experimental mother strain the same size, un-topped, well-branched under HPS, and somewhat similar in aspects except smell. Reason is that both fathers of two very different mother plants had the same father's in SFVOG Kush x ChemdawgIV. Sherbet and Alien OG grow awesome; Blue Dream too, just lots of stretch. All resinous.
