I have never seen buds like this

Its foxtailing. Hows your temps? Though, gg4 can have a somewhat foxtailed structure to the buds.

temps are around 73-80. never seen foxtails this bad lol. That's why I didn't think it was. The other plants in the same area are fine. Very odd. Can't raise my light any higher and its not really hot at the canopy. Around 75-76.

This can happen from light stress too .... IF you can power down slightly , then try that.
A big indicator is the unusual shape the bud takes on.

Do you have any light leaks?

I mean the tent def does have some light leaks but a very small pin hole here and there. when the lights go out no one goes in that room until i go to bed. My main question how do I get it to stop and finish already lol. I already harvested one that no foxtailing and I am harvesting another sunday that also has zero fox tailing and is gorgeous purple. These are all in the same tent. ALTHOUGH the two foxtailing are closer to the light. The back right plant is the one coming down Sunday, no fox tailing at all.

Stopping light leaks helps.

I was wrong, its actually one plant doing it. I thought some of the branches were also apart of another plant but its not. Only 1 out of 4 is fox tailing, so odd. I know its not light because even t he smaller buds below the canopy away from the light are doing it, so def not light or heat or humidity (45rh). Only thing it COULD be if not genetic, is possible light leaks, but than not sure why none of the other plants are doing it.

I've heard of multiple stress factors causing this foxtailing, but I was always unclear on what did and didn't truely cause it. I know that heat/light stress can trigger it, but can things such as light leaks cause it as well? In any event, some strains are more prone to this behaviour and I've heard of GG strains being one of them. My primary 6x6 tent has lots of itty bitty needle size holes along the zippers and I've never had a hermie or foxtailing, but perhaps I've simply gotten lucky between strain selection and good phenotypes. I think that's why you're getting 1 plant doing it Jtrizzy. Does that one plant happen to have slightly different characteristics than the other 3?

How so? They all grew the same. Just the one fox tailing now looks very different from the others that have finished and some are still finishing.

Even with one particular strain, you may get different phenotypes. For the most part, it's harmless differences in appearance like height or even the buds looking a bit different. But there can also be differences in heat, light, and nutrient toleration from phenotype to phenotype. It just means that you have to pay a little extra attention if you have one that starts showing different preferences. And sometimes it isn't from phenotypes, but rather, one plant just not being as healthy and strong and doesn't tolerate stress as well. I hope your harvest goes well buddy

I feel a strong need to drop in and say that pinhole or otherwise tiny light leaks will not ruin your plants. I've tested this... a lot.
If it were true, any natural lighting source in nature during nighttime would be "stressing" the plants (lightning, moonlight). That's not to say you shouldn't try to avoid light leaks as good practice, ofc. My .02, I'm sure someone thinks I'm bizarrely incorrect.

My tent has dozens of little pin-pricks going all along the zipper of my tent, and have never had problems myself either. Not to say it may not cause problems in other grows, just not in the one's I've done thus far.

Ran the legit gg4 for a long time...
How far along is it in flowering? Looks over ripe to me.

I actually brought everything down yesterday. All cloudy with a few Amber which is they way I like and prefer. Took 2 people and 6 hrs to trim but everything is hanging nicely. Some huge ass colas on these plants.
Hopefully this is my last grow for awhile as I should enough to last me well into the fall, winter. Should be between 12oz-16oz total off 4 plants. Hoping anyway. The first plant I harvested about 11 days ago yielded out to 3.5oz/98g so hoping the rest yield the same or more.
