The 9th bodhi seed has germinated; lions milk! Snow leopard is our last one to go!
hello.... this is not to be mean in anyway... but 12 inches from a 1000watt HPS will give u loads of problems, try going down to a 600watt or even a 400watt.

This chart is meant for minimum distances, but heat is another factor. I would not want higher than 82F at canopy top, under bulb -

Also, truereligion, did you know that GG4 does best with very lite feedings?? Starting around 300 PPM or .6 EC and not going higher than 600 PPM or 1.2 EC. Should be able to harvest at 60 days, but some run 70 to 75.
Seems like your plants are way too young for 1000 watts. Most GG4 growers put under t5's once the root system is somewhat established. A CFL is used for rooting into rockwool, and until it starts growing a little. GG4 is going to really stretch as soon as flipped to flower, at least 2 times, sometimes 3 times. It needs to be scrogged or supported some other way, or branches will break.
You could use CFL for cloning and young, T5 for veg, and 1000 for flowering. I am not familiar with how your other strains grow, but you could have them finishing at different times. Some strains can take up to 85 days.
Thank you for the info, for the different strains I plan on running 12 plants max, all 12 under the same 1000W and when it comes to flower cycle out six plants per twelve hours to maximize light
You must be tight on space. That is going to be a pain in balls. GG4 will hermie easily if you can not switch plants out like clockwork. I have to worry about blowing circuits and attracting attention using too much electric. I have two tents set to run on alternating schedules. I have seen people use tomato cages on GG4, to prevent the branches from breaking, if not scrogged. Remember GG4 stretches tremendously when going into flower. Most also remove all lower branches at day 21 of flower, to produce bigger top buds and avoid crappy little buds on bottom.
If you have enough room, a light mover could be used, and would not have to worry about canopy temperature as much since the light is moving.
Just some suggestions. I have been listening to GG4 growers for over 2 years.
@Harry Hesticals, does my gg4 look like its growing like a real gg4? I don't trust any of the dispenseraries in so cal anymore the good ones all shut down its still a huge clone war given its settled a little since 2013. Thus I ordered bodhi seeds, but yeah thoughts homie?
From the thin fan blades, that not too Sativa or Indica shape if that makes any sense at all. I'd have to say yup, you could definitely have the real deal GG4. Some of THE dankest plants I've ever grown. Amazing chocolate diesel funk and not kushy to me at all. It has its own category of dank. Tremendous resin content!!!!
