Gorilla Glue #4 Community Journal

These peat pucks seem pretty simple. Success rate im sure isnt as good as what you all are doing but its my first try. I only need 1 out of 4 to work to hopefully be receiving one of these auto cloning chamber setups for Christmas, lol. My wife loves smoking the good weed ive been learning to grow. God, i wish she was into growing. Alot of yall feel me on this, i know. It sucks to make a significant ability leap and all i get for my efforts are, "That's nice dear". The 2 old friends who do know are mindblown by the fact im using an LED light and have "kind bud" to smoke with them. Thanks to all! For the tips, pics and just the conversation. Nobody at here home gets that growers mindset. Yall ground me.

Ah okay Jiffy. @curious2garden uses those for seedlings. I think planting them in your medium is smart, stop them from drying out.

I’ve gotten some amazing flower from ILGM . Are there better genetics out there ? Absolutely - but I can tell you their gorilla glue photos are excellent .
I grew one plant from them last year outdoors - didn’t take care of it from June - September , and chopped it - no nutrients , no water. Just in good dirt in the ground and got what the lord gave it - yielded 3/4 of a lbs and it tested out at 23% thc ! I won a homegrown contest for 4 straight weeks with it at a local dispensary and got beat by the last week of the competition by a cafe racer that was a ridiculous 29% !

I havent grown any ILGM Photos. My bashing was with an eye winked. Ive grown 16 of their GG4 autos and 20 WW autos. I fell for the 10+10 for $150+ shipping spiel. Their autos are basically all F1's and every plant looked/smelled/buzzed different as another strain. I realize that most major seed brokers do similarly which is why i switched to Mephisto. At least their F1's are freebies, at least the ones i get. I will say that out of those 16, I had 4-5 that were pretty dang nice. Big fat buds and really good buzz. 3 or 4 WW were nice too. The hard thing was getting feeding right since every plant acted totally different. They at least grew and got me plenty of practice. Im grateful to have found those 4 GG beans because I can run them under 12/12 later with no worries. I misspoke. I dont dread smoking ILGM. I dread that Ill fk up my photos somehow and have nothing but those ILGM autos to smoke. I try to keep multiple strains, at least some of each so I have the right medicine for the moment. I am spoiled. I mostly smoke Indica leaning strains. The wife likes sativas. I keep some of both usually.

I read a couple articles that showed where people set 12 expanded peat pucks in a 2 inch deep tray and surrounded them with fresh soil. I used straight FFOF so that enough nutrients hopefully should get in. I watered with a little bit of Grow Big and some recharge. Ive forced the wife to look at em lol. Right now im good cause theyre still standing straight. To her im looking smart vs buying that $30 sheet of rockwool. I hope it works out. 2 weeks and theyre still standing then ill be happy. Just hope that mother flowers under 12/12 or i may be cloning garbage. But, at least im getting practice. Im liking the idea of putting seedlings in those pucks. I didnt know they existed till the other day.

I failed a bunch at cloning until I landed on a process that works for me. Very simple but I get near 100%

Yeah I’m an indica guy myself , I get anxiety from heavy sativa dominant strains .

I grabbed several seeds last year from ILGM for an outdoor grow . Ended up having someone rip them out of 100 gallon pots and make off with them . I had 13 plants all 5 foot tall and 3-5 foot wide , that had been topped and vegged indoor from March 1st to may 6th . I did dole out clones to a few buddies though of about 5 different strains and everyone of them came back , telling me it was the best smoke they’ve ever grown . Granted they’re hobby growers , but I saw the end product of a neglected gorilla glue photo and it was insanely impressive . In fact I had several high end genetics also and preferred that one GG plant from ILGM, over everything else - but I’m also an old school “skunky , lemony, gassy earthy guy . I’ve never been a fan of candy strains .
I really wish I could get my hands on the old skunk genetics . I haven’t seen it in 15 years , but nothing nowadays compares .. literally smelled like you got sprayed by a skunk with an 1/8th in your pocket

Yeah, i miss the real Skunk too. Also, Christmas tree and authentic NL#5. I remember getting those bags where everybody in the room smells the 1/8 you slipped and brought in your pocket. I dont hate on ILGM. I just dont have a desire to pay for 20 seeds of any 1 strain, and thats the only deal they have. When I buy beans now, ive been doing it from boutique breeders that offer unique strains and also give alot of freebies. I paid over $160 to get 20 F1 seeds from Bergman. Last order I made to Mephisto, I got 6 F6 beans + the promotional 6 pack of F1 crosses plus 2 freebies for spending the $48+ shipping. 14 for $55 of 3 strains vs 20 of 1 for $160. Im glad you had good luck with their photos. I believe they are just doing autos because theyre trending. I mean i only had a few plants i was just disappointed in but these days, I couldnt afford to buy beans at all. But for a friends help and the few leftovers i found, I wouldnt be growing shit. Hey sometimes you can get some great phenos from seed vendors like ILGM. Im sure hoping these last 4 are good ones. Im really hoping those Blueberry Hashplant photos do well where i dont have to depend on those autos though.

It would water your eyes sometimes. Like that Christmas Tree would have me smelling like i had been cutting Pine trees. God, I miss those bags. I dont care if it was 15-16% thc. That stuff smoked great and trashed us.

I think CSI has that Christmas bud you speak of huf

Ive heard that from a few people. CSI calls it Christmas '79 bud. Ive checked before. Someday...... Ive got several strains of photos with big credentials to run first. I really loved the old loud strains, but , ive got to be smell quiet right now. Too many visitors and stuff after the wreck. CSI has several old school strains that supposedly theyve been running for decades.
