What's happening RIU? I'm growing 4 GG#4 clones in hempy buckets under a 600w HPS. I'm at day 45 of flower and am concerned my flowers aren't as large as they should be, but I have never grown GG#4 before.
I still have 23 days until my target chop date, so they still have a lot of time left to swell up. If you've grown gg#4 before please give me your no bullshit assessment on how my plants look for 45 days into flower. Are they where they should be in your experience with gg#4? The buds are very dense and covered in trichomes. I so far am very impressed with the strain and will continue growing it. I'm using Jack's 5-12-26 with calcium nitrate and epsom salt for my fertilizer regimen. Good stuff.
Also, I haven't grown in a few years and I'm a little rusty. I forgot to peel off all that sparse vegetation beneath the canopy and I got a bunch of spindly bullshit branches that couldn't even support their own weight that were pushing out tiny flowers wasting my plant's energy. I got tired of them getting in my way of watering so I just ripped them off the other day on one plant. There were a few very small flowers on them. I dried them and just smoked it with low to very low expectations considering it was really garbage for the most part. I smoked a chillum of it and I'm smiley face baked. I am excited to the tits to smoke an actual bud of this stuff when it's all dried and ready. On with the pictures...

I think I need to dial down my calcium nitrate for the rest of the grow. I've heard a lot of people running jack's either eliminate it completely at a certain point or reduce by 50% while increasing the jack's base or adding mono-potassium phosphate and mono-ammonium phosphate to assist with bulking while maintaining the same ppm's. I don't like the idea of eliminating the calcium nitrate completely, because I have no calcium replacement and jack's base has zero calcium. Good eye on the green leaves. I will reduce my calcium nitrate to 50% and either increase the jack's base or add some MKP. I'll have to read up a bit more before I decide.
