Day 53 and she's almost done. Can't wait any longer,I took down the 3590 light and put up a couple RW-150's to finish her. I wanted to put the 3590 light over another GG#4 that is 10 days into flower and not wait for next light to be done,my COBs are coming Monday.

As you can see,the other GG#4... is a beast and has out of control growth, major prune job coming soon.
What is your philosophy or methodology for pruning/trimming, if you don't mind my asking? I've read so many different approaches, and there seems to be a wide spectrum of methods that "work". No doubt what you're doing is working.

My philosophy is cannabis is a amazing plant and tough as nails. I know some people have procedures for how much to take and when. I know people that treat it like a china doll and are afraid to cut anything off. When happy and healthy it will take almost any amount of abuse and doesn't seem to miss a beat even after a very heavy prune. I try to avoid heavy pruning after two weeks into flower but that's about it,other than that I do what ever is necessary to make her fit my grow.

Looks great Cappy. Mine is at day 64 today. Hairs receded, Fox tailed but trichs are only milky. Not one amber trich
With the Glue it's a matter of taste,most take her between 56 and 70. I usually don't let her go past 63 using 730 nm unless I just don't have time to chop. People have tested her at different intervals and say she has her highest THC at 56 days and the flavor changes the longer you go. I would take a sample now to dry and you can compare to a later chop if that's your plan.

I just want to do it right. Plus I want the heads to be fully developed for ice wax. If you harvest early most heads end up in the 25u bag. I chopped a lower tiny secondary lateral branch at day 56 and it tasted amazing. I just did tat because I didn't have any smoke.

I think it's just going to take multiple runs at trial and error.


I also have 2 of same plants in flower now mint chocolate chip. One under the cob panel and one under the inda gro. The one under the amare cob panel seems to be developing a little faster. It's more frosty too. But I am running the floro uv-b bulb on that panel too. So my gg4 under the inda gro at day 64 could be like yours at day 56 or around that.

Eventually I want to replace everything with cobs.

I'm interested in hearing more about how you use your fluorescent UVB lamp?

Its part of the panel. The bulb came with it. I run it the same 12/12 since it's a good distance. I don't even know if it has any effect considering it's distance from the canopy. The UVB has its own driver / plug too.

Eventually I'd like to upgrade the cobs to cxb 3070. They're cxa 2035 I think.

GG#1 and GG#4 are clone only and from the same batch of seeds,GG#1 x GG#4 = GG#5. There are a ton of cross out there,not sure if Joesy is releasing seeds for GG#5 but I can find out. The Chaos BX2's are tester seeds from the breeder.
