Hey HydroRed, beautiful plants! I tried to send a PM but couldn't directly to you. Was wondering if you could help validate my cut. Pretty sure it's legit, has all the signs after reading this thread. But let me know what you think. Thanks in advance. View attachment 4300748 View attachment 4300751
Thank Mike667! The veg shot....most definitely looks legit. Purple striping in the main, purple petioles, and the infamous leaf twist.

Thanks for the reply man! First post and that was my first grow. The pics in flower are all the same strain. Ran 4 in varying pot sizes, seeing what I liked for the size tent I have. I'm stoked to have a legit cut! Thanks for all the great info, hope to have plants like yours one day.

Good morning. I purchased the GG#4 S1 seeds from dark horse genetics from attitude seedbank but I cannot tell if it is the real deal or did attitude mix up my seeds. Any ideas?
Its probably the right seeds, its just with S1's you will find some variation of the original that was reversed. Not all the S1's will be a perfect representation of the momma so you'll likely have to hunt some beans to find one.

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?

86f is to hot, try to back off to around 80f. she can be finicky if your off by 100ppm up or down so id back off to around 800ppm next run. Also run her to 70 days, ive had her since 2014 and done all different finish dates and 70 is best all around. i also stop feeding around 8th week but im in HP/FFOF.

Oh yeah forgot to mention, I did stop feeding (except cal-mag for a total of 310 ppm) about 12 days ago (day 50) - they do not look hungry at all.. Temp huh? I rarely get to 86 but it did peak that high or maybe higher when I was running the old ac - it was all on or all off, thats why I bought the new mini (which I love so far!) right now it's 80 and should stay closer to that until winter. I was thinking maybe the N was too high - I didn't know a good way to back it off without loosing calcium since I use cal-nit for N but I will start my next run a bit lower thanks! I'll try backing off the Epsom and Cal-Nit then add Cal-Mag back.

Thanks!

Dont look at these traits too tight.... am have Fake GG#4 that was confirmed by Grizz as real one tough he
changed his mind later and i was think guy plays with mine mind and joke with me.. so we haved little non-understanding
situation where i was confused and i belive he was too,some harsh words was fall... LOL

When guy that actually owns those cut can made mistake than those traits you looking for
can also decive you or anybody else... you can made mistake if you tight in confirming her in vegetative..

Kind regards HydroRed

P.S.---- This strain is a Headbanger F2 X Fake GG#4... personal cross with cut that tricked Joesy Whales...
if you look progeny that is mixed with HB you can still sees traits that you think are crucial for confirming
Real GG#4 cut..
