Just an update been on the look out for some good old school landrace genetics to cross back to the GG4 ladies I have lined up. First 3 plants are 6 weeks from turn and have stopped stretching and stacking, they are hardening up and getting heavy enough I have to put a girdle on them to keep tops at same height. Tops on stretchy plant are handball size and have stacked nearly full 8-9 nodes down. A squeeze is like velvet covered styrofoam and leaves a visible coating of resin on fingers like glue if you blow it dry. I have only grown GG twice, and one batch I had to cut at 8 weeks and was a little early. Other went 9+ and got a late boost that puffed them up.
Tops on two super crop plants are a bit smaller and will be perfect Ping pong ball nugget size and a consistent cure. Each one has around 30 tops, first time doing a SOG. Here are a few new pics

My fourth grow.4th strain GG. first 3 were between 8 & 9 weeks. This is looking like 10+ possibly. Did you mean SCROG? SOG is single stem Thai type thing.

Yes but I avoid the screen, like to have access around it and am a clutz I just shape and top them young And bend the leading tops and try and have them in a dead heat at the top like a shaved hedge. They are gonna go 10 plus I’ll bet, have 6 big tops on the natural plant that I will take early and let the lower popcorn ripen another week if needed.

My popcorn is gonna screw my schedule. Guess the house stinks while I dry in mini greenhouse in the basement. Only have a week before I need the grow space. I need to do a rare double harvest this time.

They are probably flowering different since they're from seed. With seeds you can get multiple phenotypes.

All clones accept the latest. From seed.

Day 58 for the first 3 homely clippings from that wayward mother. Got total of 17 out of 100 from chopping her up, she was 7’ tall. Just planted 7 rooted clones from the best of the 3. I am growing through them on a 3 week harvest schedule to find Miss Universe. I am looking for that chocolate, sour diesel with a hint of grape smell. Have taken a few mid buds for scoping and check my curing procedures ( running out of bud too...lol). Here’s a peek

Well tomorrow is day 64 for the first 3 GG4’s. I have been pulling a bud from each plant daily to check trichs. The tall plant has just started to show a few ambers and a few clear left I will pull that plant tomorrow #2 on Wednesday and #3 next weekend so I have a 64-70 day spread for testing. The range of scents in this mutts genetics that every day cure testing is a new bouquet and tasteToday the sample had a very blackberry backend and the jet fuel initial hit is smoothing out. Starting to get a little hint of molcha from one plant also.
