ILGM Girl Scout Cookies Extreme Autoflowers (4 Trees)
Day 24
This is my first serious attempt to grow a crop in my new tent. I’ve grown one crop in it to completion already but I have been working on stabilizing the temperature, RH, etc.
Last night I did the first LST on the girls.
Environment
- Region: Southern California
- Indoors: Garage 20’ x 30’ with three grow tents
