Compact Plants
Girl Scout Cookies Auto grows into a compact plant that is easy to manage even with tight spaces. These cannabis plants have a one centrally placed cola that carries other thin side branches. They have tight internodal spaces that will result in tightly packed nugs growing at each node. Typically, the plants reach an average height of 90cm (about 35 inches) indoors and outdoors thanks to the Indica dominant genetics.
Resilient Growth
Thanks to the plant’s resilience, it does well in different setups. It goes through hot summer months with amazing ease and adapts to the winter months with some support. This versatility makes it suitable for growing throughout the year.
Fast Flowering
Our GSC Auto is a fully feminized strain. Additionally, the strain offers its autoflowering traits thanks to the addition of ruderalis genetics. Indoors, the plants start early at just three weeks and finish by the tenth week. Outdoors, you should expect to see the beautiful cookie delights forming by the 28th day of transplanting. From seed to harvest, Girl Scout Cookies Autoflower plants mature in just 70 days.

Common Challenges and Solutions
As already stated, GSC Auto is hardy. However, with prolonged unfavorable conditions, here are some challenges that you may face growing this strain.
Pests and Diseases
GSC Autoflowering may be prone to spider mites and powdery mildew attacks especially when the conditions are too dry and dusty or with poor air circulation. Regular monitoring is important to identify any signs early enough. Also, keep the humidity levels around 40-60% with a proper air circulation system.
Nutrient Deficiencies
Just like any ruderalis genetics, GSC Auto grows vigorously and nutrient deficiency may be a challenge. Watch out for nitrogen deficiency as the plants go through the vegetative stage. Here are the visual symptoms
- General leaf discoloration to pale green or yellow
- Early leaf shedding as they die
- Stunted growth and reduced leaf size
A well balanced nutrition program easily evades these challenges. Also, check for the pH of your growing medium as this impacts the rate of nutrient uptake.
Pro Grow Tip : Temperature is important when growing GSC. Keep it between 70 to 80F and humidity at about 40%.
Trimming
With their bushy stature, Girl Scout Cookies Auto plants are a candidate for trimming. The condensed structure and tight internodes may result in light deprivation for some buds which may affect the yields. Trim the lower fan leaves when the foliage becomes too heavy. This lets the plant focus its resources on developing thick resin coated buds.
Harvesting and Curing
Girl Scout Cookies Autoflower is a prolific strain. Indoors, growers can expect an impressive harvest of up to 450 g/m² (1.5 oz per square foot). Outdoors, this beautiful girl yields up to 700 grams per plant.
So how do you know when to harvest GSC Auto buds? Here are the harvesting and curing tips you need.
- Timing– Timing your harvest ensures that you don’t harvest too early before maturity and not too late to lose the precious resin. Inspect the trichomes with the help of a magnifying glass and harvest your buds when they turn cloudy with the pistils turning amber or brown. The leaves are often curly at this stage.
- Harvesting– During harvesting only use a sharp pair of scissors or knife, start with pruning any excess foliage blocking hidden buds. Carefully cut and handle the buds without damaging the trichomes.
- Drying– After harvesting, hang the buds upside down in a cool dark area with good airflow. Dry the buds for about 7-10 days or until the stems snap cleanly.
- Curing– Curing helps develop the strain’s flavour and potency. The dried buds should be placed in airtight jars and opened (burping) daily in the first week to release any moisture. The burping reduces in the second week through the fourth week. The longer you cure your buds, the better their taste and hit.
