Any experience with Gorilla Glue #4?

Dr. Who said:

You all need to realize some things:

1: The difference in environments that the plant grows in. Can be a big part of any longer or shorter run time,
A: The environment that the breeder did his work in. IS different then yours!

2: The use of any different feed, additive or supplement. Can drastically alter the run time's by just what is fed, how it's feed and in what amounts. (Look at what I said to jarvild. Take that to heart)

The plant has NO "set" sch. it has to meet on a daily basis! So many things can create a change in any recommended or better put estimated run time in days!
I see so many of you coming into this post and saying firmly "X" amount of days......It just won't work that way! Grower to grower variables make any call of "days to finish" as rather a broad shot in the dark.

The real key is to find how to look at plants and "know" what "done" is!
To many variables to say your time, will be someone else's time... THIS is what I'm trying to say...

Want to shoot for potentials?
Learn how to run longer without yellowing your plant out! Learn to drop the N and K properly, and the same for supplements and when to up the P and to some point Ca.....
You'll get better results.....And there kiddies, is a whole growing style unto it's self....

Getting off the nutrient makers sch. and into doing what the plant (and even strain) really wants, and needs. Is the true "art" of growing.....Get off the train. Get out of the pack. Leave the herd!

LEARN what the plant wants, and push her to do it!

NOW you all understand why I say,,,,"I don't keep track of time in bloom." You know I finally, after years of not having one. I put up a calendar in my grow building!

But,,,guess why? Not for timing bloom! It's for the work I'm doing in experimenting with TM-7 and Fe/Mn for THC manipulation....Gotta count those days accurately...

Now go forth and find out what "works best for you!"

ANY estimate to finish by a breeder is a 2 week swing either way..maybe more! You'll figure that out one day....trust me...

No disagreement on what your saying but coming on here and telling people about their faults in growing without knowing their parameters is hypocritical.

What your doing (feeding wise) is not, and was not a "fault" being "pointed out!"

I'm truely sorry if you feel/felt that way... It was not intended to be such. Simply an observation upon our differing growing practice and an explanation of why/how plants can finish at greatly differing times.

YOU grow very well and I respect that!
I owe you that, because I may have never commented on your skill before. NOT because I think you were hurt by a comment I made!

I apologize for those comments made yesterday. Was having a bad day with my wife's health issues.
Much Respect!

Hello I recently got a cut of some GG#4. The guy swore it was legit. I don't know much about the strain but I do know that it stretched more than any other I have ever grew in the first 2 weeks of flower. I'm wondering how long does this strain flower for? I'm use to 8 weeks but it seems like it's not progressing very fast. I have 6 in my room that are just into week 2 and they have very small buds.....normal. My buddy has 1 in his room that is day 26 and the buds are bigger but not very impressive so itbhas me worried because I'm only 12 days or so behind him. He has 6 strains in his room and the gorilla glue has the smallest buds and seems almost a week behind. The resin production is great though. I included a few pics. The first pic is a overall view of the plant. The next is a close up. Then the 3rd pic is just another strain in the room for size comparison. Any info on gorilla glue or input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I run it constantly. Yours does look like #4. But, looks can be......

It does run long, at least I run it real long. Say 10+ weeks and then longer if need be.
For both of you. Your budding is right along sched. It seriously increases after week 4 to 6 and then at 6-7 it begins to bulk.
You will need support for the branching! The buds get quit big and real dense. That will have the branching bending to the ground.
I got lax on a plant this last run and lost a main and 3 lower branch's to "break off". It actually cracked so hard it would not recover - totally my fault, as I went on vac. and my helper tried to straighten it, and it should have stayed "down" to "heal" like a super crop.

Be aware that this strain (a pure cutting) - for me. Falls into that land of "not ambering" at the finish. One of the ways it tells me it's done.....is by complete change to cloudy tric's and some (good type) foxtailing.

Here are 2 pics. First is a year + old. it was the first run in an isolation area to be sure the clone was virus/etc. free. It ran in a high N/slow release soil that I use for "first run" plants and LONG running Sativa's. It was warm in the tent also. That is why the Fox tails are so pronounced.

The second pic is from June of this year and show 2 plants at ? weeks(I don't count - meaningless to me. They are done when they are done....). Considering that it was taken on the 16th and that I began harvesting it just about 2 weeks ago (the second tier harvest of the lower budding, now about ripe. Will be completed this monday) - So you can figure that I gave the lowers about another 14-16 days to finish. The pic was 5 weeks from harvest.

Keep in mind this plant is a heavy feeder! Tolerant of high NPK values and responds well to elevated K levels - like 6% over normal. Really bulks her up...

This was taken from a harvest in Feb.

I can not stress to you enough to run this long - Longer then you think! Or your final potency will suffer....

This also really stands strong with a proper long cure of at least 6 weeks after drying properly. Mine gets 8....

If you run it right, dry and cure it right. You'll be amazed - if it's real #4!

The one I got is one bad ass bitch!

I'd keep those out longer unless weather demands you harvest. Weeks left still.
