GROW #14 GG4 auto

Weird germination process: I germinated two GG4's and although both germinated, one never sprouted. Germinated using the wet towel method, then planted with michoryzae powder as added boost. Not my first experience with GG4, the first time was actually on. my very first grow: I admit it was an experience and a learning curve, so the results were below standards, but somehow I noticed that GG4 came across quite delicate and volatile to feed and climate. This time it seems all is good and I have an healthy seedling..

Second grow week for the tent: the GG4 have literally started doubling in size each 5 days. Currently the secondment vigorous development in the tent on par with the MOBY DICK. unlike my first experience with GG4, I expect much better results with this attempt. This week I introduced a sprinkle of MONSTERGROW (ONCE A WEEK) from grotek just to kickstart them, and hopefully I will incorporate as a combo Superthrive as from next week: in my humble experience they work brilliantly together.

Steady, exponential growth throughout since last week. I am considering tieing the main cola down to promote lateral and side branches growth. The light schedule was changed from 24/0 to 20/4 as I felt that I don't know my new led lights well enough to try this out as a first time. They are 6 times more powerful (allegedly) from my previous three small ones combined and I do look forward to seethe difference density and product once used at 100% capacity.

great week: the lady doubled or tripled in size and girth. Did apply both light LST and super cropped and tied the main cola to encourage side development. The light intensity was increased from 4 to 6/10 directly proportional to the slightly hotter feed solution. Still not applying any major LST across; let s see next week.

Things are gearing up in the tent. All the ladies have doubled again in size. My OCD took over common sense and past promises and I started LST the whole tent. Every plant has been worked on, all side branches tied down and minor defoliation done. All pictures are before and after for each plant.

Well Well Well, So much to say, so little time to say it. Fist things first: we are now in a 8 x 8, which is a landmark upgrade in my path to learning all I can about cannabis. Larger growing space allows you to work freely, comfortably even. It was about time and long overdue. Within 48 hours from being moved to the 8x8 each and every plant started to grow exponentially: starting with the main fact that while LST'ing I snapped in 2 the main cola: that was a bummer. I think that was a catalyst and trigger for the plant to go into overdrive as she tripled in size and grew many side colas many time thicker than the main stem. I LST'ed any bendable branch to develop as many bud sites as ;possible. Looking forward to preflower week next week. So far they are all responding well to the hot feeding regime. Now bathed in light by on all angles and with room to explode, I look forward to she how she does

Alright, it seems I am falling behind my updates here. So much to say, so little time to say it. I had few issues with humidity and temperatures which were solved by implementing the following: - extra hour of darkness, without any temperature fluctuation - added a big ass dehumidifier which actually improved electricity consumption by adding warm air (so little to no more heating), lowered humidity drastically keeping it at a constant 55/60% (saving on fan extractor now activating very sporadically) and last but not least I am developing a great closed loop irrigation system. I can now recycle up to 85% of the water I use for feeding by connecting the dehumidifier to my water reservoir, also assisting on a constant supply of ppm neutral water to use daily. I lowered solution ppm, but added an extra feeding during the day (6 hours prior lights out) She somehow went into hyperdrive on week 5 and never stopped beefing up and stretching. Explosion!!! second one in the tent that went from veg to full bloom in a single week. Preflower lasted mere days and she pretty much doubled in size. The main cola had to be supercropped to manage the canopy otherwise she would be 180cm plus. she seemed to have recovered almost immediately. Terpenes: funny how one can begin guessing the strain by the terps profile only by smelling. One wife of her and you bang on would guess GG4, what a piece of simian ass! all in all I am very happy of the developments. From next week I will start using my canon camera to better capture how glorious she is growing.

🌿 **Gorilla Glue #4 Auto Grow Week 9 Update: Harvest Time Nears!** 🌱 Greetings, fellow growers! It's time for an exhilarating update on the progress of our Gorilla Glue #4 Auto journey as we reach Week 9 of the grow cycle. With excitement building and buds maturing, let's delve into the latest developments: 🌟 **Vibrant Bud Development**: At Week 9, our Gorilla Glue #4 Auto marvels are truly showcasing their potential, with buds swelling and resin production reaching its zenith. The once-petite flowers have transformed into dense, resinous nuggets, promising a plentiful harvest in the near future. Trichomes abound, indicating peak cannabinoid potency and aromatic complexity. 📏 **Final Stage of Flowering**: As we embark on the final stage of the flowering phase, our focus remains on maximizing bud development while ensuring optimal ripening conditions. By meticulously managing environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and airflow, we're creating the ideal microclimate for our plants to thrive and express their full potential. 🍃 **Leaf Maturation and Nutrient Management**: As expected in the late flowering stage, some leaves may show signs of maturation as the plant reallocates its energy towards bud production. This natural process serves as a signal that the plant is approaching maturity. Meanwhile, our nutrient regimen remains finely tuned, providing the essential elements necessary to support robust flowering without compromising balance or nutrition. 🔍 **Monitoring Trichome Ripeness**: With harvest on the horizon, we're closely monitoring trichome development to gauge the optimal time for harvest. Using magnification tools like jeweler's loupes or digital microscopes, we're scrutinizing trichomes for signs of ripeness, aiming for a mix of cloudy and amber trichomes to achieve the desired balance of cannabinoids, as well as flavor and aroma profiles. 🌞 **Preparation for Harvest**: As we prepare for harvest day, our checklist includes gathering essential tools such as trimming shears, drying racks, and storage containers, as well as ensuring a clean and organized workspace to maintain the integrity of our precious buds. Proper post-harvest care and curing techniques will be employed to preserve terpene profiles and enhance overall quality. In summary, Week 9 marks a pivotal moment in our Gorilla Glue #4 Auto grow adventure, where patience and precision converge in anticipation of the imminent harvest of our prized buds. Stay tuned for the forthcoming update as we celebrate the culmination of months of dedicated cultivation, yielding a bounty of premium-grade cannabis ready for enjoyment and sharing. Happy growing! 🌿✨
