Be careful with gg4 she will stretch into the 3rd week of flower. Get 3-4 times bigger in flower. So don't over veg her. Gg4 doesn't need as much veg time as other plants
I find only half of that to be true in my experience...she is a stretchy lanky strain for sure, but without a lot of tops from multi-toppings/ extended veg and a lot of bud-sites, she doesn't yield very well.

Well in my case it's very true. Topping does shorten the length between nodes and lengthen veg time by a couple weeks.. But in flower it takes off like no other. Mine went from 2 feet tall to over 6 feet tall and scrogged late and now takes up a 4x4 on its own. It has 50 tops.

MMMM I can smell her from here! The longer I have had her in the garden, the more the smell has grown on me. Stanks so much! And so much resin.

My bubbas are coming down this weekend too but mine came out completely purple this time too and has never done that before. It usually stays pretty green. I've never had purple leaves on it before either. I think it just faded out fast. The one under the cobs is more purple than the one under the induction.

Cob lighting seems to make them race towards the end a little quicker IMO.

I'm kinda excited to flower in sips and only be spraying for the most part. Lol
These bubbas are in regular 10 gals not sips. My first sip's are a little over 3 weeks into flower. The bubbas are the last of regular top fed plants.

Sip's grow monsters. Everything gets bigger faster in them. I love it.

JD...have you ordered pschadelic spores online before? If so, where would one go to find?
Pap, back in the day I used a few sources....The Hawks Eye seems to
have morphed into something else, so I'd have to recommend Spore Works.

But your best best would be to just let me mail you a spore print.

It is hit-and-miss if you have to use a Still Air Box to try to make
and cleanly inoculate some grain spawn. Feel free to ask me about it in my thread.

What's the cost for a replacement bulb on the induction light ?

She is a wide lady.. (Fat bottom girls) by Queen is playing in my mind ;-)

Love to hear how much dried flower you get off her? I'm thinking about running one outside to see if it will bump up yield plus it would be interesting how a outdoor bud would look like since I believe there is no light for indoor use that can mimick the sun..

Well, some just don't yield as much.... Lol. But holy frosty nugs Batman! I'll have a weight soon from the one plant. Prob 2zipz. The quantum I have from hy produces really well. So does the bubba and blue dream I have too. Srs would go big also.

I prettY much use mine for veg.. When I want to flower I'll stick it outside or under the 300w led along with the indagro..
Was just wondering about the price..
Thank u



QUOTE="hyroot, post: 12434111, member: 319672"]I don't know. If it failed it would be replaced under the warranty. My inda gros have a 10 year warranty. I got bigger buds under than the cobs though. I'd guess around $300 maybe.+/-[/QUOTE]

Ok. All set up w lighting and have the circuits upgraded to 20amp. Will finish up tomorrow and get the plants vegging in there while I transplant and build sips over the course of the next week or.so. :-). This round is gonna rock! Not that the last one was bad. But.I am looking to up my yield. Here is what is in there:

2*600w hps on the right. On the left 700w of led and a 400w hps in an open og hood.

Woot!

Lined w weed fabric and filled wick with peet. Then regular mix on top.

it shows lining with "weed fabric",, what is the porpose of this?, thanks man

i saw weed fabric in one of the videos I watched, they put it in the keep the roots out of the res, i see some wick auto waters with the guys keeping roots up in the soil and out of the res,, then there are the octopots where they seem to want them in there,
i guess they work either way,
in capts autopot he ads nutes to the res, but I am more interested in the water only idea

are your roots able to go thru the weed fabric then,,, i have never worked with the stuff, i am guessing guys using soil all the way down into the wick baskets are not lining them?,,, hyroot says the roots do fine down in the water,, even no rot because no nutes in the water,,,

correct. roots can grow through weed fabric. just like fabric pots. :-) I doubt there will be rot due to not adding salts etc... to the water.
