Pretty much top notch genetics. Really energetic Gorilla Glue crossed with GSC Thin Mints, a heavy hitting pheno with Kush genetics. It will put the most experienced smokers out of commission.

The trio is easy to use for a new grower. I would find a basic feeding chart and use 1/4 of the recommended amount.

My first harvest exceed expectations several times over. I was hoping to break even for the initial investment in lights and tent, but ended with over 6 ounces of medicine. After drying for a week, the hay smell is receding to cool, earthy pine. When crushed, she gives off a pronounced sweetness that one could derive from a basket of mandarin and mint. The smell is intoxicating. She smokes really smooth from low nutes, and a week long flush. The sensation is more for experienced smokers. Let me try to explain:: On the come up, the sativa driven Gorilla delivers an energetic rush of euphoria and clarity. He appears to be in a panic, because he brought with him a gift of wild thin mints that quickly dissolves all forms of anxiety. The Indica leaning GSC pheno induces a healing wave of sleepiness that is characteristic of its most powerful Kush ancestors. See you space cowboy.

Should I grow 12 colas in a 2x4 space with 300W equivalent LEDs? Nodes 1 3 5?

I think it would be better to try to keep the size around 2x3 to make sure you get enough light intensity to all the buds. The bud density will suffer if there isn't enough light. You would probably have to add a second light to supplement your 300 watt to get enough light to do a 2x4.

Do you guys know any tricks to get my plant to grow taller? Goal is to increase space in between nodes. I've tried raising the LEDs to 30 inches for a few days. Also tried leaving it in complete darkness for 24 hours.

Hi @NASATrainer! What makes plants stretch: 1/ dark cycles, you can increase your night duration up to 14 hours with 10 hours of light, 2/ nitrogen, you could add some more Nitrogen during the stretch phase, but be careful not to over-do, a plant stunted with Nitrogen during flowering will result in weird buds or 'the claw'. 3/ plant-to-lamp distance, increasing this value should result in vertical growth, as the plant will look for more light. Hope this will help, keep us updated and happy growing! 👊

Any ideas what is causing some pistils to turn brown and crisp on my lower bud sites? Especially the ones in the middle of the crater. Taller bud sites not affected, and leaves are healthy.

Hi there @NASATrainer your plants are fine the browning off of pistils is a completely normal occurence and will continue as the buds mature. If they were all to suddenly change colour then you could have experienced pollination but I don't beleive it's the case with your your plants. Best of luck with the grow Mate

Purple leaves -- copper deficiency due to pH falling below 5.0 for a few days? Or natural color coming out due to light and age? Thoughts?

I think she is beautiful! Looks like she is reaching the end of her life cycle fading out nicely. The leaves are heavy on nitrogen though. I would cut all of the nitrogen out of the feed if you havent already. Looks like she is close and going to be some killer smoke.

@Sweet_Seeds, You're right, still a lot of glassy trichomes. Looking like 10 weeks and some. It will give more time for the gorilla to come out. Cheers!

can always add some CFL lights - may help - lowering your lamp should help as well - the closer the LEDs are - the more intense the light is - up to a point

@NASATrainer wrote “Cannabis prohibition has been largely good in advancing these indoor growing techniques. Thank the gov for your manifold” And for your microwave, cell phone, gps, Netflix, self driving cars and on and on! If not for military and NASA R&D in the 1960s we’d have none of that. And I’m a liberal, but I know what’s what. It’s not rocket science! Oh wait - yes it is! Enjoy your harvest!

She's Marvellous! I just embarked on a journey with this very same strain...I hope to enjoy this poetry of colors too! With this mainly Sativa strains you harvest a bit earlier, with few clear trichomes for a more Sativa's high (psychedelic, euphoric), the later you harvest the more of a body stone, couch-lock effect you get. Bet ya knew it already...but maybe someone passing by will like the hint. Lovely jobbly! She's AMMMMAzing!!!! I'm drooling worse than my LAb, LOL! Enjoy, you deserved it!

@DaGroa, Final 3 weeks she gave off a mild smell, nothing skunky as others have reported. I made a DIY filter with 2 sized mesh cups, sock, and some aquarium carbon. My 4" inline + DIY filter did contain the smell, but didn't push enough air so it raised RH to the 70s. I opened the tent a bit, left a crack in the window, and used a draft stopper on the door.

@NASATrainer, Whao! I looked at your lady...she's gorgeous! Compliments for the results! I wanted to ask...is it smelly during flower? Ordinary Carbon filter would do or should I think about some extraordinary anti-smell option?! Good work, indeed!👋
NASATrainer
NASATrainer
@DaGroa, You're right, for this strain you're gonna want mostly clear and milky. The thin mints has great Kush genetics, so a more Sativa lean is welcomed. Just smoked some earlier and the hybrid sensation is highly desirable. Happy growing!

Looking very nice 🤩👍🏻. The Mars 600 true wattage is 260w. I have 4 of them. They seem to work fine for me. Silent, not hot and covers a good area. My 1st grow I did burn a couple of buds as I vegged too long and things turned into the Amazon. However these buds were touching the light. I eventually super cropped the plants. 2 x GG4 and 2 x Durban Poison. My week 1 this diary the last photos are of my 1st grow. GG4 was an easy and resilient plant. Not resilient against spider mite though. I bought some Cannacure to spray my plants weekly. Grow well 🌱😎✌️🏼

@Puffer_Bill, Would you still recommend what their website says for Bloom: 12"-16". I'm limited to a grow tent so she might reach as close as 12" to the lights. The LEDs are super intense, I def felt a burning sensation on my hand after being too close.

Hi, this is so exciting! The seedling is stretching just a bit, but it’s okay. Do you have clay balls or perlite? You can bury the stem above the rockwool. The buried portion will eventually grow roots too. Also, you can shorten the light distance. What light are you using for the seedling?

@NASATrainer, alright. I’m following this. Seems it’s going to be interesting. Don’t forget to fill up the netcup later. It’ll stabilize the stem, as well as provide more rooting sites. I recommend hydroton (clay balls), but it’s up to you.

@NASATrainer, i love it. There's been some really exciting cannabis cooking coming out lately. I'm not brave enough to try it out...but all it takes are some seriously creative risk taking enthusiasts to come up with some incredible stuff. I wonder how it doesn't get you high though...i mean the leaves are being heated and decarboxylated right? Or are they cbd leaves? Very cool though, I think he's right about the boost of restaurants in the future.

@Experimentgreen, This guy is doing it in LA: https://www.lonelyplanet.com/news/2018/06/13/shibumi-cannabis-leaf-restaurant/ His leaves don't have THC, though. I've decided to take matters into my own hands.
