Trying to find a good/real GSC Clone. It all started when I picked up a Girl Scout cookie clone from Drs Order a cutting from the company Real California Clones (could find no information about them online) I learned here that dark heart nursery has the platinum cookies. So I picked up two of those at River City Phoenix in Sacramento. It didn't stop there; Berkley's patient group had a GSC clone from a company Queen Bee. I figured pit all three against each other and choose a winner.
First impressions:
Real California Clones (RCC)-
Got this clone from doctors orders. Bud Tender was rude and unknowledgeable which wasn't surprising. He was unable to tell me anything about the clone except the company they got it from and that it was Girl Scout Cookies. I wasn't aloud to touch the clones so I just told him pick one with a good amount of roots. As I was walking out I immediately noticed signs of pest infestation. When I got home I gave it a neem treatment And another 3 days later and one more tonight. it was also sprayed with habanero spray twice during that time. Today it was transplanted in a larger pot and the roots looked well established. The roots are far more developed than its counterparts to be fair the clone is a few days older
Dark Heart Nursery(DHN)-
I got two of the DHN GSC clones from rcp I also grabbed several other strains but that will be separate log. These clones are from the "heartlet" line. All that means is they are smaller than the "premium" line. Although they are the smaller version these clones are about the same size as the other company. Pretty standared as far as clones go. The root development was average/below average. Nice healthy clones for the most part no bugs or disease. Fan leafs are a little droopy but overall I can't complain.
Purple City Genetics(PCG)-
Probably the best looking clone of the bunch. Leaves pointing straight up to the lights just like any hungry happy plant. The roots where about the same as dark heart maybe 20% more. I like the looks of this guy.. It seems to have more modes closer together but with clones there isnt much to go on so i cant really compare structure yet.
THE GAME PLAN-
Clone each plant as soon as possible. Once clones are fully rooted plant in 6"x 6" square pots put them directly under 1000 watt metal halide in the veg/mom room for a week. After a week of root development and adjusting to new pots they will go directly to the flower room under a 1000 watt hps light. 60-70 days later harvest. I will cure for one week (although the full cure will be 3 weeks) before choosing the winner.
Nutrient Regiment
General hydroponics flora nova bloom with calmag to supplement the RO water. Also biweekly feedings of molasses and vermifire tea. No other additives with be used. I don't believe in overloading a new strain with additives until it's been grown at least once.
Pest prevention:
Weekly neem oil sprays combined with thoroughly inspecting twice a week. More aggressive if needed.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!
