ok people, what am I doing wrong here besides being lazy. This is my first gg4, I tossed the clone in with another run, so it only vegged a week, it also had to live with what I was feeding at the time and the LED lights were dialed up. The clone was sourced at Archive Seed in Portland. The rest of the run was Primal Punch (a GG#4 x Banana Punch cross) which do great with the specs below.
I currently grow in 3 gal pots with coco.
Feeding Jacks 321 (3.6/2.4/1.4 grams/gal) and various rooting stuff like mycos. In flower they are feed three times a day Lights on at 7, feed at 8a 12p and 4pm lights off at 7p (I'm thinking of dropping the noon feeding)
my water is well water with a initial PPM (0.500 scale) of about 130, my total value is 1040 PPM and 5.8ish on PH
Lighting is LED strips (PLC version, Samsung 301B and CREE XP-E Photo Red) 630 watts at the wall. Plants were not closer than 16 inches at the worst. This is my first run with the strips, I'm coming from 1000x HPS lighting in the 5x5.
a 5x5 tent extended to 8 feet high and a few fans, ok a lot of fans.
Temps 77 to 86, Humidity 30 to 50% (that low end temp is rare, I was dialing in a new mini split)
The photo is from about day 60 (day 70 is next weekend) Fox tails are rock hard and a tester smoke harvested at 50ish days was a lively GG4.
The consensus here seems to be harvest at day 63 but it doesn't look ready to me, So I'm going to wait until day 70, the rest of the run beside this clone will last until maybe 14 weeks (Sativa goodness) and the Primal punch was harvested a few weeks ago.
I know fox tailing is not unheard of with GG4 but really? I have heard it could be from a high EC? I have gg4 clones started and I'm thinking they will be my next run, how do I avoid the fox tails and add a bit of bulk?
