Growing Girl Scout Cookies can be an incredibly rewarding experience for any new grower. In order to have success with the plant, the soil mix is one of the most important tasks when it comes to growing and harvesting your crop.
The best soil mix to use depends on the stage of growth that the plant is in. For germinating seeds and the first week of growth, a light and airy soil is needed to encourage growth and vigor. A light soil mix of equal parts peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite works best during this early stage. It should also be noted that this soil mix needs to be kept moist and not completely saturated.
For the vegetative stage, an amended soil will provide the root zone with plenty of nutrients and water to sustain healthy and vigorous growth. A soil mix composed of organic potting soil, some well-aged manure, and either perlite or vermiculite would be the best mix to use.
Finally, for the flowering stage of Girl Scout Cookies, you’ll want to focus on providing enough nutrition to the plant and root zone to induce blooming and production of resin. Before planting your cannabis plants, pre-soak your soil with a mild solution of liquid Kelp/Seaweed fertilizer to help promote optimal health for your plants. In terms of soil mix, a combination of one part compost, one part potting soil, and one part worm castings should be used. This combination helps to provide plenty of oxygen, nutrition and water to the root zone. The pH of your soil should also be checked regularly during the flowering stage and should remain between 6.0 and 7.5 for optimal growth.
Common mistakes when growing Girl Scout Cookies can range from watering too much or too little to failing to check on the pH of the soil. It is important to remember that cannabis is more sensitive to over-watering than under-watering and if the soil becomes too damp for too long, the roots of the cannabis plant may end up rotting. It is also important to make sure that your pH levels are monitored regularly and that they remain between 6.0 and 7.5 during the flowering stage. A lot of new growers also tend to forget to use liquid nutrients or supplements when growing Girl Scout Cookies. This type of plant requires a large amount of nutrients in order to grow properly and having the right nutrients in the soil mix is essential to its success. Finally, it is important to make sure that your plants are receiving enough light and air during their growth cycle. If the plants aren’t receiving enough light and air, then they won’t be able to reach their full potential and won’t produce the desired yields of Girl Scout Cookies.
In conclusion, soil mix is one of the most important factors when it comes to growing Girl Scout Cookies. Knowing which soil mix to use during the different stages of growth and making sure the pH remains within the correct range is essential to success. Additionally, new growers should be aware of the common mistakes associated with growing cannabis such as forgetting to water properly, not using liquid nutrients, and not providing enough light and air. By keeping all of these factors in mind, new growers will be sure to have success with their Girl Scout Cookies crop!
