1. GG is officially in flower! She is developing some nice little buds.
2. I haven't been happy with my veg. nutes for a long time. My plants start showing deficiencies due ProMix having no nutritional value. I add nutes at 25% and they seem to negatively affect the plant. This only happens with some strains, but overall my veg. feeding game is sub-par.
3. Therefore, I'm switching to an organic line that should take care of some of the deficiencies I'm seeing in a few of the strains I've grown. I've used NFtG before. It resulted in flavorful, aromatic buds. However, yields were small and there are a lot of ingredients to their line. Right now I'm more interested in giving the plants the best environment I can and this is the best I can do at this time.
4. Otherwise she is looking pretty good. GG is a big on the small side. Most of my autos are almost 3 ft.
Thanks! I like how this plant is turning out. I was looking for a bigger plant though. a few other people I know have grown this strain from the same breeder and their plants were closer to 3ft.
Its looking good, like u say a littlr crispy on the edges, but looking good.
May i give just one opinion? Not a tip because im not a expert, but have you tried using bottled water with the right ph instead of using ph up and down? Its only because i belive the more you add the more the ppm of minerals, it might be hurting her, i would try just keeping the ph up and down out of question for now and using a low mineral ppm bottled water with a tiny bit of Recharge added. Just so you can see if they start to solve the crispyness.
And gg is my favourite strain of all times, i can't wait for you to have that resinous bud going to your lungs it is always amazing.
If u want to stop by at my diary feel free to leave ur opinion as well.

@DoDrugs420, Thanks for the opinion. I've had trouble in early veg with several plants. I don't use pH up or down.
The nutrient line I'm using is pH balanced. I do PPM/pH tests periodically. I also do slurry tests if I think there is a problem. I'm leaning towards the nutrient line missing some component that I haven't determined. It usually goes away around late veg. It is certainly gone during flowering. This has only been an issue using AN. I have an auto using Remo and it doesn't exhibit any of the crispiness.
@Bigfaddy76, I didn't have any problems growing this strain. I switched nutes during early flower and it didn't seem to matter to her. Of course I'm growing an auto strain and if you are taking cuttings, you are probably growing photos. Do you have several cutting of the same strain and only 1 is not looking good? If so, maybe take a few more cuttings.
@Quexos, Just curious if you had issues growing this strain. I have a rooted cut and she looks like she’s in dire need of water. I probably let it go a day to long because I was repotting and feeding the following day. All the other cuts look good and not thirty. However this cut looks like it’s still thirsty but soil is plenty moist. If read it can be a difficult strain to grow.
