A new grow, GG#4/WW/BW

[GreenState]

We've been lucky here, a pretty sunny,dry summer this year........But, summer is rapidly coming to an end, in the 40's this morning and losing 2-3 mins.of daylight per day now.
Seems to go quick this time of the year!

Haha growing well is she? We got 1/2" rain here also mine are not nearly as far along though and faired well with the rain. But did move my little autos to there greenhouse for couple days and out they are now. I set up the e-z up quick canopy when I know the rainy season is started hopefully we get at least another month of lots of sunshine days. Good luck GreenState.

[GreenState]

Hopefully she'll continue to do so. Reading back in this thread I saw I started running into leaf problems at week 5 of flowering and nanners showed up about week 8 on the mother plant which produced the seed for this one. We'll see, at this point she thinks it's mid to late Sept. being on a 12/12 schedule, yet still getting strong sunlight and so far liking it. My worry is she gets wider and won't fit through the closet door! (ha)

shes stacking up great for 3 weeks in bloom

[s62]

Makes sense! I wasn’t sure if there was some other reason, like rain causing damage to the plants, knocking off trichomes, etc.

[GreenState]

Rain stopped and outside she goes. Best of both worlds (lol)
Now I need to get out and be productive!

[GreenState]

Even though plant spends 12 hours a day out on the deck, I wouldn't call it an outdoor plant, as 12 hrs are spent inside in a closet(g).
I trained it to be portable, moving it in and out twice a day. Had thoughts of eventually leaving her out towards the end of flowering, but why risk it as long as it stay portable. Remember the original reasoning was to force it into flowering earlier than mother nature would
have. Since it didn't need to be outside being pounded with rain, figured I'd leave her inside today. Probably more light inside than out right now...raining hard here

[s62]

Looking great! I’ve never grown outdoors... are you supposed to bring in plants when it rains? Why?

[GreenState]

So here we are at day 21 since going to a 12/12 schedule. Thunderstorms here this morning so I guess the young lady will stay inside today.
Used the flash so as to show the budding progression a bit better. I'm pleased for 3 weeks since flip.

I remember one year in Maine we had a tunnel for a front walkway,it would of been easier to walk out the second floor lol ,I hope the skidoo is visible to others so they get a WTF moment

oldjarhead100 Thanks OJH, really pleased with the structure I got from all the topping. I was shooting for 20 main stems/colas, which I have, plus some secondary ones making it to the outer canopy. This GG4 isn't big bud stuff, but the buds are dense like marbles (lol). I've been watching your green house grow, looks like you have your defoliating work ahead of you.
Sure looks like a full house you have there!.
Have to charge up some batteries and get ready for work, closing in on wrapping up another job.
Busy work season this year........The leaves are sure changing rapidly here...yuck!

[oldjarhead100]

shes looking great ,good idea with the tape

[GreenState]

Made a few changes. First I decided to wrap white tape around my container to help reflect the sunlight...damn container was getting really hot, so the roots were very hot as well.
Secondly, she's been looking a little droopy the last few days so decided to give her a shot of veg(some nitrogen) nutes and she seems to have perked up nicely. This morning she looked much happier, like she was ready for some sunshine. Day 12 since forcing her to flower with 12/12

[GreenState]

Looks like storms coming OJH, batten down the hatches!
A couple of pistils starting to show, 7 days after forced flowering. I'm going real easy on nutes this go around, if you remember I had trouble with the GG4 late in flower growing indoors with fox farm soil. Same soil less nutes this go, we'll see.
So far stretch has only been a few inches in height, but she's getting wider...19" tall X 24" inches wide (lol)
Did some defoliating the other day. 20 fan leaves trimmed
