@HydroRed It took that long because "Mom" (HPK) was in real bad shape, had ended up as a "hostage" of a "newb". Long, sad, story. Rescued from an abusive relationship, the kids were in the worst condition imaginable and had a pretty nasty case of pm (took the first year to cuts healthy enough to fight it off). It was a damn chore, but worked out in the end.

It doesn't look like a gorilla glue #4 to me
although it is Branchy like my gorilla glue the bud structure does not look the same
Mine grows kind a like a pinecone and all different directions The butt is some of the stickiest I have ever seen even if you try to dry trim it smells like a son of a bitch also lol
Yours does look like a good strain it just doesn't look like a gorilla glued to me not number for anyways sorry I'm using talk to text so some of my words might be a little messed up maybe you have gorilla glue number one or number three I believe they did away with number 2

Is the last shot of GG4 as well ?? Never seen it purple up

GG4 brought it home from Seattle. I don't have any doubt about the lineage of this cut. The only reason I asked the thread for help identifying the strain. I brought back 6 cuts of 2 different kinds of trees. 3 cuts from top dawg DUD and 3 from GG4 just 4 of the six cuts never rooted. The 2 that made it were GG4. Just wanted to make sure I didn't switch things up so I asked the community for help verifying. But I appreciate your opinion happy growing

Yes the last shot is also from the GG 4 it does purple up some more than others a guy at the local grow store Was showing me his because I had questioned the pump as well and the guys was the same mine was a bit more purple though. I didn't mean any offense about your plants they look great and as I take a better look it does look pineconishly lol A+ + stain I love the way it smokes the taste is great and it's very strong, takes a little longer for drying but curing takes way less time and when you smoke a joint you can see all the oil just oozing out, so sticky, so smelly, so good!!

She's a good plant not my favorite tbh but she's growing on me. I enjoy OGs and sour diesel flavors. No offense taken we all love this plant. Happy growing

All of the photos on this page look like my GG has looked at various stages.
Crippykeeper's photos look how mine used to look when i first got it. I first got my cut around 3 years ago and it would grow like that almost regardless of conditions, for myself & friends alike. I got pretty decent with it in RDWC and was hitting 1gpw with ease in small, crammed sealed rooms. I didn't keep up on the 'dud' topic but definitely took lower clones and eventually ended up with nothing but GG dud stock. It's been 8 months since it first hit hard. It used to produce extremely dank buds right up to the reflector glass even with leaf/bud temps approaching 90 degrees; now it's super light sensitive and foxtails/throws white hairs repeatedly in the brightest areas. It used to taste like straight chem in a blunt, now I've got to use a rice paper to even get a hint of taste.
By no means am I putting down your guys' plants but, Norcali & Johnhorror, i see things that i saw in my own GGs as they degraded over time.
Healthy, legit, bug/pest/disease-free GG in my experience will not:
-throw off tiny single green leaves that aren't covered in frost
-continue to throw off white hairs after others have turned
-produce foxtails that aren't very dense, especially long ones with a bunch of new white hairs on the end
-produce re-veg looking growth well into the flower cycle. basically that bright green new growth is a bad sign.
I've had a rough while figuring out what went wrong exactly. After 3 horrible monocrops and a few more with other strains that turned out well, I was left second guessing myself and my abilities. I searched endlessly for bugs, eventually concluded that it was more than likely the genetics. That's not to say that I didn't have micromites or RAs or something at some point, just never found any evidence despite lots of scoping. I remember a run where none of the GGs I took rooted on schedule; I left them in the tray for an extra couple of weeks and they eventually they made it. Looking back they never had the same vigor.
Chitosan, aspirin and other stuff have made it so most of the crop still turns out decent but the light sensitivity hasn't gone away. Slowly but surely my glue degraded into a shadow of its former self. My advice to you guys is start looking for another keeper if your GG isn't the most awesome performing cut in your garden.

Well I've already harvested my GG4 and I have to say after a bout a month and a half of cure the bud was phenomenal everybody like that I just wish that I would have kept a mother plant because I have no more seeds. in my experience the strand is so sure I only have to take a couple puffs before I feel pretty high in this is coming from someone who smokes a lot lol. right now I'm working on growing some other strains such as bubblegum another call twilight a mother called Motown chunk another call berry bomb another called Acapulco gold and one more call the great white shark oh yeah one more call superskunk. although I do have a Dutch treat in the oven as we speak

I need to pop in here more often. I'll drop a pic since its been a while and I'm still loving on this strain. Im at 48 days in the pic so I'll be hitting the swell and foxtail soon. Been running the same momma for over 1.5 yrs and shes as frosty, smelly, flavorful and potent as the day I brought her home.

due to the dud issues with the gg4 ive made a mom from my original cutting so hopefully I wont have dud offspring.

Thanks Crippy! I've been seeing a lot of crosses, but am still partial to the original. I ran her a little longer than I normally do and found that strong choco flavor I've heard so much about.
Real GG4 is a clone only strain. If you grew your purple GG from seed, it was either a BX or an S1. As purple as your last pic of your glue was I'd suspect that it was a "X" of some sort (GG4 X ??). Nice flowers none the less!

Actually it was a clone, as far as the purple I'm kind of stumped.... it definitely wasn't due to temperature because my temps where actually high around 88-90 degrees for a couple weeks. If it was a GG4 X it would be really strange to me as it had all the characteristics of GG4, not that I have ruled that out. Anyways the smoke as I said before was awesome, I only wish I cloned it... infact I thought I did, guess I was just high that week lol
