End of 3rd week. Good genetics, just wondering about dr.seeds reputation.
Hoping they are really a strain of gorilla glue.
4 days for seeds to pop. Planted into 4 inch pots. After 1 week transplanted to 5 gallon pots.
First journal but 45 yrs worth of experience. About my 40th grow indoors
Went from 600 ppm (Hanna scale) 1.2 ec To 700 1.4 Plants loving it.
I use the growboss nutrient monitoring system.
Plants are fed once a week and watered once in that week as well.
Plants are gonna want higher by next week. Will increase to 800.
One big humidifier, one small. Having a hard time keeping above 50% humidity with this cold dry weather were having.
I run a whole home air exchanger in my room so co2 levels would be the same as outdoors pretty much. Only downfall is it sucks the humidity out of the room when it is cold and dry.
When put into flower I will run some extra c02 by using the vinegar and baking soda trick.(slow drip from the vinegar into a pie plate with baking soda).
All in all a very vigorous grower and definitely a sativa strain with the giant leaves. Always found with giant leaves comes giant buds.
Going into the 5th, week.
Upped ppm to 750-1.5 ec.
Plants growth is fast. 24 inches on the tallest 22, 15 and 15 inches.
Runoff ph is 6.0 after feeding today. Runoff ec levels are at 1.6.
Still running light at 750w.
All looks good so far.
Big girl grew so fast she got to close to the sun at the beginning of the week and took a couple of bleach spots on two sets of leaves. Recovered fine.
Big girl is at 30 inches next is 27 inches and the two others are at 21 inches. Switching to 12/12 tomorrow so will increase floranova up to 800 ppm their next feed.
Trouble free grow, just the way I like it.
Upped the girls to their max for stretch.
Next feed will be half bloom, half grow at 600ppm, 1.2 ec.
Everything went smooth in their second week of 12/12
Button size buds on all the girls now.
I expect the next 3 weeks to be very explosive bud growth.
For gorilla glue#4 there sure wasn't much stretch going on, not what I expected. I will let the girls get a lot bigger the next go round.
Big girl went from 30 inches from the start of 12/12 to 39 inches
Next big girl went from 27 to 35 inches.
Next two went from 21 to 28 inches.
All their energy is now switching to bud formation.
June 18th, girls are doing amazing now. Girls are taking up 6 feet of a 6x8 foot area Buds stacking up very well with the floranova bloom, and Massive bloom formulation. It's great to see amazing results with the KISS method, The gmslave way, with minimal work and effort comes bigger results.
Sunday- Tomorrow will be third week into 12/12 done, girls have one week of budding done. Things are going very good, no problems so far. Girls are filling in nice. Ph at 6.2 going in and 6.2 coming out. 1.2 ec gonna go to 1.3 their next feed. Buds are forming very fast. Everything is going as expected and planned.
June 16th everything is rocking
Watered girls this morning 6.1 ph going in 6.1 ph coming out.
680 ppm 1.36 ec coming out.
Using Floranova bloom for the first time, seems to be working well alongside the massive bloom formulation.
Things going as expected so far...
Smell seems to have backed off a little
June 17, Trichs starting, buds are in overdrive. Buds are stacking and fattening very quickly. First time for floranova bloom and so far I'm impressed.

June 19th and the girls are rocking. Going to up their feed tonight. Going to push it up to 1.4 ec 700 ppm.
450 ppm 0.9ec floranova bloom and 250 ppm 0.5 ec of Massive bloom formulation for the total of 700 ppm or 1.4 ec
Getting some yellowing leaves, so, I start nutes low 600 ppm when going into flower nutes, normally I can stay there till later flowering. Now I cant say it's the floranova bloom not as effective as the canna terra flores because I have never grown this strain before and gg#4 is suppose to be a little heavier feeder.
But by the leaves turning a little yellow means they want more food but I don't want to overfeed so I go up 50ppm each time. I seen they need more after the water in between feed day. Waiting till feed day, which is today. I'm thinking I may go up 100 ppm today to 1.5 ec. We'll see.
I did up the nutes to 1.5 ec See how that goes for the week.
Growboss screwed up last night. Took it apart and was able to fix it,,,,thank god
Girls are finished 2 weeks of budding now. Buds are rocking so dont come knocking.
Little premature yellowing due to low feeding. Increased ec to 1.5 750ppm and they have slowed yellowing. Higher nute run the the next ladies in veg.
All in all things are going as smoothly. Should be nice huge nuggies when their finished. 4 to 6 weeks to go.
June 22nd girls are starting to fill out now, but still putting on length. All is good.
June 23rd ladies are looking real good. Would have been better with a little extra nutes when I first went into 12/12 cycle., but a new strain to me and she likes her food.
June 23rd Watering day. PH 6.3 in and 6.3 out.
Last feed was at 1.5 ec 750 ppm The runoff ec came out today at 1.0 ec 500 ppm.
I'm starving my girls, should have skipped watering and did another feed. They are lapping up the nutes at an alarming rate. Never seen the runoff come out 250 ppm lower than fed. At least I know there isn't any salts building.
1.6 their next feed..
June 25th
Fed the ladies at 6.1 ph and 800 ppm 1.6 ec 550 ppm of floramnova bloom and 250 ppm of Massive bloom formulation. Runoff came out at 6.0 ph and 600 ppm. Thinking these ladies want even higher but increasing feed by the week.
Time spent in the room today got my eyes burning it is getting do dank.
THE REAL STORY ON LIGHTING FOR CANNABIS AND HOW IT MANDATES EVERYTHING ELSE.... MOST IMPORTANT VIDEO FOR KNOWING THE FACTS
https://youtu.be/ID9rE5JewVg
Today finishes the 5th week of 12/12 and 3 weeks of actual flower.
Girls are looking real good. Gone on to feed, feed, water for the next week or 2.
Fed the girls today at 800 ppm 1.6 ec the ph was 6.1 going in and coming out was 6.1 The runoff ec was 700 ppm 1.4 ec. Buds are still putting on lenght but their going to start swelling good soon. Their starting now. Length should slow now and bud swelling should take over.
Going into the room actually burns your eyes from the dankness.... Can't wait.
June 30th
Girls are changing to put on bulk and weight now. Grabbed a lower bud for density check. Buds are pretty sticky and very hard. Going to be some good weight coming in the next 3 weeks. Wife came into visit the girls last night and went back out 2 minutes later saying her eyes were burning. Said, welcome to my world...
July 1st
Watering day for the girls. Ph 6.2 in and 6.1 coming out.
Last feed was 800 ppm, 1.6 ec, Runoff ec after watering was 500 ppm, 1.0 ec
These girls are asking for more food please and I will respond with 900 ppm, 1.8 ec next feed.. after the week of 1.8ec I will start lowering feed for the ripening process. Girls are putting on weight before my eyes now. Thinking my smallest girl will bring at least 5 oz dried. Branches are heavy already.
Yes, bud swelling time, my favourite time.
Girls took 1.7 ex today 850 ppm. Today is the first day I fed and the runoff came out higher, finally. Reached their limit on nutes and time to draw back.
Runoff came out at 2.0
Very dank in there now. Having a hard time trying to get humidity down under 42. Dehumidifier is running 24/7 Turned lights down to 750 watts to battle the heat were having.
All in all I am not very impressed with these girls, looking to replace my old strain and the trich development doesnt even come close to my KK I had the priviledge to grow the last 4 years. Not saying that GG4 wouldn't be good enough, I just dont believe these are them or a strain worth growing. I know I will never buy beans from Dr.seeds again.
July 8th
Watering day. Last feed couple days ago was at 850ppm 600 ppm of floranova bloom and 200ppm Massive bloom formulation. Ph was 6.3 in out was 6.2. Runoff ppm was 2.1
Runoff today was 600ppm 1.2 ec and ph in was 6.3 and runoff was 6.2
Girls are loving their feed using it up very quickly. Problem is I usually start dialing down now but so much new growth with only a few hairs turning colour, I'm not sure I should yet. Flowers are getting longer and thicker everyday. Want this run to finish sooner than later but like Heinz ketchup she making me wait....
Girls are putting on some good weight now. Were getting near their end soon. Rapid new growth, calyxes swelling, beautiful things happening now.
Girls got what may be their last feed today.
Runoff ppm last watering was 1.2 ec, fed today at 1.2 ec and runoff was 1.6
Its stinky in there. Dank ass stuff, very sticky on the fingers
July 14th the girls are putting on size before my eyes now.
July 16th Watering day for the girls today. 6.3 ph in 6.1 out. Girls when last fed runoff was 1.6ec runoff after water today was 1.0ec
Thinking their going to get another feed in a few days. Lots of white hairs still, no ambering trichs.
2 weeks to go, stripping the girls down, 2 to go, buds are doing great things now. Calyxes swelling new one's a popping.
Took some bud from the lower branches for a little taster. First couple puffs of the joint you can almost tastes like a diesel fuel but smooth and come in after smoking one and I think you can even smell like a diesel fuel. Weird, definitely buying pot of gold for the next run.
July21st
Girls are looking pretty good.
Fed at 750 ppm 1.5ec yesterday, ph in 6.2 ph out 6.1
Ec in 1.5 ec out 1.5
July 25th
Girls are on the last legs. Watered at 6.3 ph runoff came out at 6.2
Ec came out at 1.0
In the next week they will receive 2 more waterings and they should be down to my well water ppm of 100, 0.2 ec and down the girs come.
Branches are so heavy now some have folded. Been a good grow.
Last week for the girls. Their sitting on death row. Branches breaking their so heavy. This time next week I will be in trim mode. Only part I dont like.
Give thanks to all my followers and your kind words throughout this grow. Hope I made the diary good enough for any that wanted to know how I grow with results like this. It is the KISS method. Keep It Simple Stupid. The results dont lie. Cheers to all my friends. See ya in the harvest.
July 27th
Watered the girls this morning. 0.2 going in, well waters tds. 0.3 coming out.
Had a close look at the trichs today, about 5% ambered already. Should be at the 30% mark by Sunday harvest day.
July 30th
Took down the smallest girl a little over 1 1/2 pounds wet thinking 5 to 6 oz dry.
Definitely a GG#4 Strain. Literally have to clean trimmers every 5 minutes. Pain in the butt and back. Danny danky, wife says it smells like a skunk sprayed.
For me all day stuff but I am chronic. Anyone else definitely night time stuff.
I will have thc and cbd tests done on this in the coming weeks. Will post the results. Reason for the 3 stars is they burned me with 3 obviously bad seeds. I need glasses to read anything yet I seen the bad seeds with my naked eyes., so whoever's packaged them obviously seen the bad seeds as well. When you charge over 10 bucks a seed, c-mon, have 100% quality control people...
Wife gone visiting for the harvest.
Buds are very dense. Some tops weighing 5 ounces.
Very easy grow, no problems.
Took 1 plant down last week, 6 ounces dry from the small girl.
Took 2 plants today 3 1/2 to 4 lbs wet. 1 plant left to trim and has more on it than the first two I done today.
No buds small enough to use for extracts.
Very sticky and stinking things out right now.
TIME TO SIT BACK AND SMOKE ONE.
Cheers to all my friends that followed. And hope your harvest tops mine. Thanks for all the kind words, your all great people. Will update when finished tomorrow and when all is dried and jarred.
CHEERS
June 7th. Girls got 300 ppm 0.6ec of floranova grow, 200ppm 0.4ec of floranova bloom and 100ppm 0.2ec of Massive bloom formulation for a total of 600 ppm 1.2ec this morning. All looks good.
Next feed will be 350 ppm 0.7 ec of floranova bloom, and 250 ppm 0.5 ec of Massive bloom formulation for total ppm of 600 ec of 1.2
June 13th. Feeding day today. 400 ppm of floranova bloom, 250 ppm of Massive bloom formulation for a total of 650 ppm 1.3 ec.
Ph going in 6.1 ph coming out 6.1
650 ppm 1.3ec going in 640 ppm 1280 ec coming out.
I'm pretty sure I have this strain dialed right in so far. Looking forward to watching the buds react to the Massive bloom formulation over the next few weeks.
June 10th Water day for the girls. Ph going in 6.2
Ph coming out 6.2
Ppm coming out 650. 1.3 ec
Next feed day will be 400 ppm 0.8 ec of Floranova bloom and 250 ppm 0.5 ec of Massive bloom formulation for a total of 650 ppm 1.3 ec.
Everything is going smooth so far.
June 5th. Changed out the hortilux MH light for a hortilux super HPS. Took out the sunmaster MH and gave her a wipe down and reinstalled.
Change is happening fast now. Slight tip burn happening after hormone change, will back off the nutes by 50ppm next run of this strain.
All in all very easy to grow, they like lots of food in veg with my setup.
Looking forward to the next 3 weeks of rapid bud growth.
June 4th. Watering day today. 1 1/2 gallons per lady ph at 5.8.
Last feed upped ppm to 900ppm, 1.8 ec. and runoff came out at 1000ppm, 2.0 ec.
My GG#4 I have reached the max veg ec. for these ladies.
Runoff from watering this morning came out at 700ppm.
Button size buds forming now.
Next feed will be floranova bloom at 400 ppm 0.8ec and Massive bloom formulation at 200ppm, 0.4ec. Total ppm 600, 1.2ec.
This has been a trouble free grow.....I'm liking it.
Today was feeding day for the girls.
Noticed a little red in the stems of the leaves so my ladies were telling me they want a little more food.
Last feed day was 800 ppm 1.6 ec. Today I upped the feed to 800 ppm, 1.6 ec, of the grow formula and added 100 ppm 0.2 ec of the bloom formula. Brings my total ec to 1.8, 900ppm
Plants are just starting to go into bud 9 days into 12/12.
Evey thing is going very smooth. Ordered and received Floranova bloom, and a jug of Massive bloom formulation. Use to use canna terra flores along with Massive but canna is very pricey for the weak nutes and doesn't go near as far as it should for the money. I have been using the same jug of floranova grow for a year and a half now. That thick shit rocks....
So checking the 3 plants from the remaining 3 seeds I gave to my buddy, low and behold, one definite Male.
I ordered 10 seeds feminized GG#4 3 noticeably bad seeds and a Male plant as well, so 6 seeds for 120 bucks. What a scam... wonder if their even the strain they said. I will be checking the thc levels on the finished product.
Anyways, they lost my buisiness
Tues. May26th increased ec to 1.6 and turned on second light. Increased watts to 2000 from 750 for the vigorous stretch.
Light cycle was 5am until 11pm in veg. Switched to 7pm until 7am when I switched them.
Plants don't seem to stretch as bad when you switch over the way I just explained. They get one day of an extra 6 hours of light before they go into 7pm till 7am routine. Plus the intense wattage being thrown at them.
Will increase ppm to 900 1.8 ec their next feed If I see any need.
Smooth sailing so far
May 19th my big girl got a little to close to the sun and took some bleaching on 4 leaves. She is growing so fast that I had to raise the light little higher than normal. Today she has 2 sets of leaves above the bleached leaves. All looking good.
Big girl is now at 29 inches 2nd girl is at 27 inches and the other 2 are now at 20 inches.
I received the seeds from dr.seeds on April the 9th and seeds were planted on the 12th. They will be going into their 6th week from seed so their actually in their 5th week now. All in all I got some good genetics from them. Just would have been nice to get all the seeds I paid for. There were 3 obvious bad seeds that i could see before I even put my glasses on. I won't order from them again. I need 100% quality control when they price them at 100 times the weight of gold.
@GMSgrows, much appreciated as I'm sure I'll have lots of questions. You've been a great help! I love having someone I can trust to ask and know I'm getting good advice.
@GeOMaTTiCMy review was wrote for my followers and they already seen all the info I wrote about Dr.seeds in my diary. Also put into my review that they were 3 obviously bad seeds. So with their name attached to the GG#4 They werent getting a good review and I made that clear to dr.seeds when I contacted them. Like I said, same strain in the Kiss method no dr.seeds mentioned, so great review. 9 stars
@GMSgrows,The more you talk, the more you prove just how much of a chode you are. Your ignorance was pointed out, and yet you try to justify it, failing miserably I might add.

@GMSgrows, Okay bro. Previously, grass was illegal, but now it is a business industry. It's good that you have the opportunity to grow legally, we still have a long way to go!😉😅
@AstroBoy, still smoking from this batch. Found a jar I stuck on the shelf and got covered by some clothes last week, so it was a nice treat for a while, from the outdoor GG4. It was real good too, but not that nice taste that you get from indoor...
@Nor_Cal_Kannabliss, Thanks bro...I have never neglected plants so much with all the company here, yet they still thrive. Strong strains. 4 come down next Saturday and and the remaining 6 the next Saturday.
