Not sure what you're trying to say. What do you mean mild high only effective for a week? GG4 is supposed to be a pretty potent strain. And if you're asking how many times I've grown it this is the first. No I won't get a lot since it's a tiny plant,
brother what I’m getting at is the fact that we have different tolerances. Meaning that gg4 may be fine with you, and smokes just great. However, in my circumstances, it is a very mild and unpleasantly stinky plant. In fact stinky is what I call it.
I have ready many post where growers admit that they do not like the taste of gg4, and neither do I. On that note, the plant is mainly used as a breeder’s tool to increase terpenes level and add heft to a cross. And since it does that very well, it has become very popular.
You do know that plants are popular for different reasons. Good smoke is rarely the reason that commercial - for profit strains are popular. Terps and the volume of its yields is gg4 main purpose.
Knowing a cross purpose is where many a user, grower, breeder fail. They will buy into a cross, hoping that its popularity is because it has great smoke when in reality, it is profitably.
As for as its terps, there are better options available. Poor breeding practices of commercial breeders, made gg4 also dominant for its horrible smell and taste. Meaning that it will be rather difficult for a breeder to compensate for it, in future crosses.
And since it also have lackluster high, and poor rooting performance, adding it to a cross, becomes more of headache. Which is why many breeders will choose to pass by it.
With that said bro, never make excuses for a plants performance. Its genetics is that which dictates what you get.
Given what I see, the plant that you have, looks more like an auto cross to me. The way that is stacking and the width of its laterals, both point to it being an auto flower. You say that you lst’d the plant, however I don’t see any signs of lst since the laterals are elongated and it is growing from a central location.
Besides that, gg4 hides the middle blade on its fan leaves. And since your plant isn’t showing such trait, it is very hard for me to believe that it is in fact a gg4 clone. Or even a cross of gg4.
Like I said, your plant’s bud stacking and wide spread structure, has auto flower written all over it.
Which makes the post that you “didn’t read past a couple of sentences”, very real.
Peace to you brother. And remember, the more that you grow, the more you will know.
