that plant in veg looks nothing like the gg4 I have. maybe a different pheno? heres a pic of my gg4 end of week 3. gg4 is a nitrogen hog.
There's only one pheno of gorilla glue #4, you could possibly have an s1 seed version, where did ya get it from? Also, sometimes a strain will look different in a different garden, so ya never know 8-)

I got the cut in the bay area.
Same here, elemental wellness I believe

Im doing a sea of green my next crop. 90 plants in 2 gallon pots under 6, 1,000 watt hps. would you run the gurilla glue over purple berry?
Awesome! I've not run berry bubble before so I can't comment there, but the glue does take up most of my garden at the moment, it's a huge yielder and just pretty dank, so it's worth it for right now

Have you done a sea of green with glue before? If so, any idea on the stretch when flowered at 12" or so and how she grows untopped? I'm just winging it for my glue sog. I'll be flowering in 2 days and can't find anything about glue sogs.

I think its a great yielder too. the nugs are fat and dense. I know that when I flowered mine they barley stretched. I think I'm going to veg for 10 day in 2 gallon pots maybe top them once. I want to flower at 12 inches as well but a stalky 12 inch plant.

right now I'm paying 1200 dollars for 180 gg4 clones. I know how to clone and I think it is a easy strain to clone because the guy allways has them over the other strains. Do you think this would work... get a clear plastic tote from walmart and attache a 2 foot 4 bulb t5 to the inside top of it. put it over a bunch of clones trays as a humidome?

It's an incredibly easy plant to clone, roots in 5 days and plantable in 10 days with massive roots (in my aero cloner anyway) I think it roots in about 2 weeks to plantable size in root plugs.

Do you want to veg in the tote or just root cuttings in the tote? I think it would work well to root cuttings, just drill out some air holes to control humidity and such, put a little temp/rh meter in there to see how it is, spray the lid once a day or so, and good to go imo

I want to use the tote just as a dome. i will drill holes in the top and instead of spray i will just thro a wet towel over the top. thats what i do in the smaller domes. I just want to be able to take larger cuttings and put more trays in one area

That will work just fine then. You might not even need 4 bulbs. I use 1 50w t5 bulb about a foot away from the clones to root, that's about all ya need. The only thing I can think of is the humidity affecting the electrical at some point in the light since it is going to be in a Hella humid atmosphere. Other than that I can't think of any negatives

I usually run one 54 watt t5 bulb per clone tray of 50 rapid rooters. I want to put like 5 trays under the 4 bulb so it would be less bulbs actually. I have allways ran the bulb thru the inside of my domes just never hooked up the whole fixture inside of one. never thought of the electrical that may be an issue

Glue sog - 22 plants. Most were 12". 2 were runts at 8" - a few have been topped. Will do a double trellis. They had a very rough veg with getting over watered. II was flooding them every 4 hours and the roots got messed up and the plants suffered. I switched to flooding every 8 hrs and they started pulling out of their funk.

Day 1 flower

Moral of the story is, I think glue is root sensitive to water in hydroponics. l Had always got lockout at transplant, but since I've switched to flooding every 8 hrs with this batch for like 80% of their veg, they haven't locked out and are growing great for day 9 of veg

Here's a pic of the glue with out the green light. The green light makes things look funky 8-) they look very similar to yours sticky scissors, I think we have the same cut

8 full weeks. It's basically just a lot of buds. They really fill in quick this time which I like.

Feeding 1ec and started water top offs only for the final week. Dense dense dense. Did I say dense? I'm happy with these. I think if I ran all glue this round that I'd hit 2lbs a light, but there's only 8 glue and 12 plants. I could have fit 14. Very big yielder this round which is usual for most people.

Sog at 7 days. The clones are just meh, they were overwatered and just starting to grow new roots. I was going to throw them out instead of flowering them, but I figured I'd give them 2 weeks. They almost hit the first trellis, so sort of looking like I'll keep them but they are pretty brutal.

850ppm
5.5ph
50/50 mix maxibloom and maxigrow
Calmag to 250ppm with my tap water.
Was flooding 2x for first week (8pm and 4am), just added one more cycle so I'm flooding at 8pm,2am and 8am

Not really sure what else to say except they are fugly right now whether I like it or not and just hoping for the best.
