Genetics courtesy of i49 seed bank. The GG#4 grew quite well. It was highly resistant to fluctuating environment and was easy to grow. Didn't really have any issues with these genetics and I'm a newbie, so I wouldn't be opposed to growing it again or recommending it to another new grower. High potency strain w/ breeder notes mirroring tastes, smells and THC quantity. Product was exactly as advertised. The quantity was low, but that was due to the techniques I implemented, not the strain/genetics itself. Would like to grow again just to bring the plant to it's full potential and see where I can improve.

Reviews. Nutrient
GHE flora grow series worked very well for me and was very easy to use as a new grower. Clear instructions and applications. 'Old Faithful' indeed. Will be using again for future grows. PH down is rated lower due to price. Using a different brand now, 4 times as much, twice the strength at about the same price (Future Harvest)
Great product. Ran into a cal-mag deficiency, thinking the flora grow micro nutrients would be enough of a supplement when it turned out not too be. Picked this up, applied and the condition cleared up immediately. Worth the cost.
Didn't know much about flawless finish until the end of my grow but it sure did do a fine job of clearing away any residual salts left behind in my soil during the flush. Used a total of three times and pulled nice low ppm's in the final days of flush. Product is clean and clear of any 'left-overs'.

πππQuick shout out to the following: @Mrs_Larimar, @Suicidal, @ROM101, @BeanswithPork, @BuddingBudda, @Visions, @Girlybudz, @ghostface00132, @Weedawan and @Cbalderson60. Whether you gave me advice, well wishes and/or support, I am more then grateful to have all of you rooting for the success of this grow and your moral support as a newbie to growing. It can be intimidating not knowing what to expect your first grow, but after finding growdiaries.com and all of you, I know I will have continued success in the future. So! Thank you again and thanks to GrowDiaries.com for providing such a great journaling site and for helping connect passionate growers in one place.
Also, a personal thank you to i49 seed bank for their incredibly good customer service, great genetics, free seeds and overall great grow support. They have done nothing but impress me and I am looking forward to continue growing through them. THANKS i49!!!!
The numbers:
GG#4, plant #1 - 23 Grams ( .82 ounce)
GG#4, plant #2 - 26 Grams ( .92 ounce)
GG#4, plant #3 - 26 Grams ( .92 ounce)
GG#4, plant #1, 2 and 3 popcorn nuggets- 36 grams (1.28 ounce)
GG#4, plant #1, 2 and 3 shake/milled flower for concentrates- 79 grams (2.8 ounce)
Total Whole Bud - 111 Grams (3.96 Ounce)
Total, All together- 190 Grams (6.7 Ounce)
Average of total product PER plant - 63.33 Grams ( 2.26 ounce)
Hey! Pretty under-whelming numbers in terms of yield but the quality is certainly there (haven't done a THC/CBD test yet but I see I did not hit the breeders projected 27%. Feels much more like a 20/21%. Will test near future). I see all the little things/techniques I can implement in my next grow to increase these numbers. With these girls I did hardly any pruning or defoliating throughout, using only LST and topping. This resulted in many, many tops with low quantities of product on each. Estimated 14-18 tops per plant and would like to lollipop/prune/train for a max of 8-10 main tops per plant, while also taking much more undergrowth away with it in an attempt to focus the girls energy on fewer tops with larger yields rather then many tops with lower yields. (Note: I guess I got complacent and I am missing pictures of GG#4, plant 1. This includes the undergrowth basket, chop down, stem and stock....Not sure how I missed that, but she exists! Trust me!)
All Shake and the majority of popcorn nuggets are going in for oil and/or canni-budder to store and/or use as needed. I have no idea what I'm doing but I have a close friend that is going to teach me the process' in making concentrates! Pretty excited to do some baking, it's been years! Remaining popcorn nuggets and whole bud will be for smoke and nothing else:
So, long story short, I am very happy. The yield could certainly be higher but all I really wanted, at the end of the day, was to propagate a successful crop. I feel like I've done that and the quality and potency of the crop is there.... just not that much of it, hahaha. I am more then excited to continue growing and refining the practice of growing and have already started 3 new strains (4 plants). These strains are Northern Lights, Blue Cookies and Do Si Dos. Their diaries will begin tomorrow as their nearing 5 days old.
Thanks again for everyone/anyone that reads this, has followed this grow, has given advice or just sent a kind word here and there. It's greatly appreciated and I'm happy to be apart of this community. I'm a dude that has ZERO social media accounts but this site, this community, is incredible.

"Survey Says!". Wrapping this grow up and germinating my new crop the same day as these girls get cut down (gotta keep it legalπ). My question is Blue cookies, fem or NL fem. If you've grown them please weigh in!!! I'm torn on what to pick, for reals.

I5s a question on how challenging you like it^^ and if you are a stativa or aindica person. Bluecookies May be more challenging/ ( blue family) but you will have a nice tasting harvest very fruity ( more sativa)..... Northern light is such agood to grow classy strain with more indica and a nice lemony smell and taste. I dont know which you choose both are great

@JinksyGrows, that's it man, when you recognise there's always something new to learn, ways to improve to make yourself a better version of whatever the endeavour is, rather than sit on one way thinking its as good as it gets π
Then you will always have room to improve
Its a good thing to have to use your time on, a grow, you need mental and physical stimulation or you have to long to dwell on the negative
I actually tried to grow another bag seed gg4 at the start of this grow but there was something badly wrong from the get go, and I let it go, I had more than enough for my space anyway, and also the gorilla zkittlez
but that's basically the only plant I've lost, and it wasn't through mistake, soil seems fairly forgiving which is useful
I think it's always worth having a gorilla in the tent in some form or another
Peace mon

And GG!?! Ummm, I want to try a lot of strains, but after this first grow w/ GG, I keep feeling like I want to do a full 4 plant run of them. I loved it man. It does a lot for me and it was really depressing when I ran out. Can't find it anywhere either! So, going to grow it again and stock pile a large amountπ(Grow #4...maybe). And lucky you finding a stray GG. Gift from the cannabis God's.π

@JinksyGrows, I too have had alcohol issues. Been sober coming up on Four yrs. Thats the same amount of time Iβve done in jail because of drinking throughout my life. Weed has helped immensely with my chronic pain, anxiety, sleep, appetite and cravings. Never lost friends, wife, jobs, driverβs license, freedom and respect due to weed. Wish I could say the same about booze. Better late then never but wish my Father, Mother and brother lived to see me get sober but wasnβt to be. Congrats to you. Never an easy task. My private chat is always here to talk if or when things get trying.

@JinksyGrows, yes, it is indeed frustrating. The demonization of cannabis is one of the biggest tragedies of mankind. And while there is some progress meanwhile, it is hard to stay patient. Sooner or later I will be running out of (life-)time. I'm waiting for legalization since almost 40 years now. And I'm a bit angry about myself that I started growing only lately. But better late than never. At least now there is no more stress with organizing the supply π
