SFV and GG4 Training Update

SFV and GG4 Training Update

Going with a roller coaster method here for lst, I move it up a node daily since she grows at least that.she manages to maintain her shape too! SFV has made a full recover you were probably thinking earlier wow that looks over watered and overdosed. You were correct I had diagnosed that as well and brought her back to vigorous growth

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.

GrowDoc

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.

Upgraded the camera and topped gg4 for a main line with a free clone out of it!

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.

Yeah haha i only have one room to work with its 10x10x10. I plan on doing scrog for all of the plant and plan to do an 11/13 cycle so I have enough time to not hermie them

Sweet Thanks Satan

All of the strains have sprouted my favorite so far is snow leopard, she's the least developed but has a pink purple stem unlike all the other strains!


Looks pretty special to me what do you guys think?
The real test is when it comes to harvest!

She's really taken off after being transplanted I added some activated carbon into the soil as well

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!!!!
