60-62 days on the GG4 is what I have always done. Always was finished at that point. But this was in commercial grows, and you are on a set schedule.

WOW, Orange Goji and Amnesia Haze still making big Bud at day 60!! HMMMMMM
The one in the Octopot WILL NOT be seeded, nor the 2 others in the small pots, only the one plant gonna get hit. They can come down when they need to with no issues.
Do not assume(???) that waiting till week 4, then hitting her, and running it out to 70 days will make any difference for the seed run??? DO YOU @GrowHard

Just do it twice. One time between 17 and 20 days and then again between 28 and 30. For a 10 week seed run that would be a good schedule if they are not in a separate area with the male for a few days.

The pollen is in my freezer. The plant to be hit is in a 1/2 gallon pot. She will be pulled outside to get hit, washed off, then brought back inside. SO, could easily do that.
@GrowHard any difference doing it that way, or just waiting till day 28 or so ???

I have had good results doing this. Never done a side by side with any scientific method behind it. When I dust at week 3 I always notice some new white hairs and growth later, so I go back in again. I have never waited til week 4 to start, so this is uncharted territory for me.
I made a box that I can sit in my grow room if I am doing whole plants. It’s just 2 clear storage bins stacked on top of each other and sealed together. Just added a computer fan and some HVAC filters over some ventilation holes. The box is about 30" tall with a 18" x 30" footprint. I just pop the male in with some some females and let em get weird for about a week. Pull em out and spray em with water, and back with the others they go.

Thanks man! Everyone is extremely happy. The red stems on the GG4 are no longer red 
but proper green now. She LIKES Texas Vegetable Feed , just like all the others, lol.
NOT gonna “push” the flower this run fishy…1st run with the new Jacks Flower nutes so gonna play nice this 1st time.
Gonna go 1/3/2 weeks 3 and 4…1/3/3 weeks 5 and 6…1/2/5 weeks 7, 8 . Back to 1/3/3 week 9, week 10 1/3/3 but really really really low PPM’s. PPM @ 520 weeks 1-5, crank up to 800 PPM for weeks 6-9, then 300 PPM to bring 'em home on week 10.
That is my plan.
GG4 is doing REALLY WELL HERE!!! IF she fills in her long node spacing, she will produce much Bud it appears.
@GrowHard told me she is a nute hog, and likes to be fed, but when I saw the red stems go away with 2 weeks of TVF, I knew I had her right where she wants to be. Unless I see signs, she is gonna get the same as what I brought home OG and AH in the last run with.
Have 2 others in 1/2 gallon pots, maybe will try and push one of them a bit, but from what I am seeing of the one in the Octopot,
Orange Goji and OHGA are throwing massive fan leafs, massive!!! No tip burn, no leaf curl, they are PERFECTLY set to flower.
SO…will see IF Jack’s has the goods or not. Could not set them up any better, and OHGA looks to me like she is gonna throw a “football” for a top Cola. IF they do not go nuclear and BIG like last run, IT IS ON THE JACK’s, not me!!!
I have a feeling the Jacks will work just fine, but dying to see. Will change rez nutes sometime next week, so will not be long before I KNOW!!!

Back to 1/3/3 week 9 ? , why not just stick with the 1/2/5 and just push k for the finish but at a low ppm like you say ?
W3-4 1/3/2
W5-7 1/3/3
W8-10 1/2/5

OK, I CAN do that.
You like the lower PPM @ 1/2/5 better than back to the 1/3/3 ??? for the later weeks???
1 Like
Yes , summer = push pk
Fall= Push k and reduce ppm till end
Because we are only pushing k at that stage the plant can’t to do anything else but finish

lol, yes i know, but weeks 9/10 are like winter not fall, lol.
I will do as you suggest. Using your guidelines last run the harvest was stupid good. The difference in the quality/density of the Buds had to be seen in person to be believed. I have never had tighter stinkier Buds than those, and it was only my 1st run with those NPK #'s. There is more to gain , lol

If I can repeat last run, I will be a very happy camper.
The Orange Goji reeks so bad I cannot take it anywhere in public
The Amnesia Haze tastes/smells so good, I find myself smacking my lips when I smoke her!!
The RPP…damn, rotten stinky feet and it is a great high too.
Then there is the Silver Fields…14 ounces of beautiful looking but SHIT BUD!!! lol!!! Or maybe it just pales compared to AH, OG and RPP…LMAO! I do not smoke it, not sure what to do with it…

Hash it out…

Not sure I would even like the Hash. Have 3-4 ounces of Hash now, 14 ounces of Bud would give me a shit load more Hash, not trying to be the hash king, lol.
Maybe make Bubble and then turn that into Rosin. Trouble is I rarely smoke the Rosin, it is more for party times and such, not lunch breaks.
Tired of edibles, I hate it when I grow WEED I DO NOT LIKE!!! Does not happen too often thankfully.
