Gorilla Glue #4 2019

I put the plant into 48 hours of darkness to kick start the flowering. I was amazed by how much the plant grew in the black. Afterwards I put the light schedule on 12/12 and noticed the plant's growth rate really picking up it's pace. There is an inner circle of branches complimenting the outer circle from the stalk. They look REALLY good and cause visions of a bumper crop. But I've learned, they won't make it. Once I cut the strings, they all will point inward rather than upward. Which causes an airflow issue for the rest of the plant, and in turn, contributes to a mold issue for the flowers growing in that center space. Once I rebuild the losses from the flood, I intend to get a large wire grid to replace the need for using string. Using the string as a method to tie down causes tension and the plant will react by putting its focus on strengthening the stalk. You'll end up with a really cool looking plant, but the flowers produced will be thin and see thru. All of the plants resources went to the stalk rather than the flower. So I will cut the strings and set Pinocchio free 😝
