Looking for some experts to chime in here. Kinda wondering if these are really gg#4 I'm only getting the reg musk smell and a little bit of chem smell when I'm moving branches around checking them out. Stems seems to be lanky and the leaves do twist at first but I'm not smelling what I smoked before.
End of week 5 week 1 flower. 12-12 light still struggling on hot days to keep the temp in the 80s. Started tiger bloom with the other nuts at half strength. Did some trimming on the underside to ease watering.
Sunday July 15th first pistols but looking like a nute deficiency only a handful of leaves gonna do a spray/wipe down of h2o2 and increase calmag to half dose.
End of week 7 week 3 flower they seem to be doing good even though I had to take the support trellis down and move them to a 8 foot L x 2 foot W x 8 foot T area the first box started burning leafs with the lights maxed out. Plants are way taller then I thought at about 5 feet tall.
End of week 8 week 4 flower 12-12 flip. All lights are now LED 570 actual watts (I may cut it back to 300ish since they are only taking up 4x2 space) lots of leaners so been tieing them when they start leaning. 10ml big bloom, 5ml tiger bloom twice a week. 15ml grow big, 5ml cal/mag, 5ml grandma's blackstrap molasses each watering. babies are doing good under the old CFL light also.
End of week 9 week 5 of flower 12-12 flip. Think I had a lockout so I flushed or it was just a slow couple of days (girls still looking okay ether way)
Starting to look tasty
End of week 11 week 7 flower 12-12 flip.
Quit using nutrients started 2.5ml blackstrap molasses and compost tea each 3 days
New batch put into flower about a week also.
End of week 12 week 8 of 12-12 flip. Only feeding molasses and tea. Bottom leaves are drying up and buds are stacking nicely I think they are doing the end of life push. From everything I have been reading gg4 is pulled from 52 days to 70+ so I feel they are on schedule. Will be pulling the first branch on day 52 then a couple on day 62 waiting for all the signs for the rest.
New batch looking good.
Second off schedule update
Temps hitting 100°F outside again and my budget constructed equipment is failing to keep it cool.
Already had 8 2 litre soda bottles frozen so those got placed inside around the pots to keep the roots cool. Went out and bought 6 1 gallon jugs of water in the freezer as I'm typing.
You're a lot better at the closeup pics than I am - by the time I snap the picture I've shifted the camera and everything is out of focus. Looking good! Sorry to hear about the temperatures - I struggled with that the last two weeks of my grow. Crossing my fingers for you...
@Cali Cajun yeah couple temp spikes but never wilted thankfully. Tallest branch is just over 6 foot lol. Only training was to bend them over in veg and tried to top/fim one time but messed up so I just let them go.
These girls I topped 1 time and put into flower at about 3-4 weeks old. These are the same age as the last ones but still in veg (I hope) on the right I've topped a few times trying to keep it shorter on the left is my experiment plant I've topped, fimmed, LST, even super cropped it and she has taken it all in stride only a couple leafs look bad but it's from me damaging them doing everything else to her but she actually looks happier then her sis on the right.
Week 13 week 9 of flower 12-12 flip. Only feeding molasses 2 times a week now and watering daily with the fabric pots on risers seems to dry out much quicker then anything else I've grown in. Buds are stacking up tricones still look mostly clear with some cloudy and a handful of amber (amber only on the sugar leafs) pistols are I'd say about 30-40% brown with new white still shooting out.
