quick update from my cell
The pet hair is pissing me off ( i know its my fault but the grow spaces are in my room, and i have 2 dogs and 3 cats so its pretty impossible to manage) do you guys manage pet hair during trimming or when?

I am a bit bummed out. I had wrongly planned to chop all autos this weekend. I chopped one and after taking another look with the loupe I realized that plant still had a week or two to go.
I aborted all the others, so 3 plants are still on the tent. it feels so dumb to chop early even if it was one.

Trimming looks fine mate, don’t be so hard on yourself.
With the dryness put it all in a sealed jar/container and throw in some lettuce or kale leaves for 20 to 30 min then see how it feels. If it’s still too dry just leave them in there longer but don’t forget to take them out and just make sure there’s no water on leaf before putting them in.
The GG’s are looking great

yeah im more mad about the early cut. the autos seem to be lacking potency, don’t know if it has to do with the fact that I cut them early or if its true autos are just not there yet in terms of genetics. Im already running the second batch of autos, we’ll see what comes out.
thanks man! hopefully theyll survive and be ready for you to try!

I’ve never grown any autos so can’t comment on that but I do know they are constantly improving and a lot of people on OG advocate growing them… they’ve definitely come a long way in the last 10 years. Was your scope good enough to check the trichome development?
Once you have your flowers at a nice level of dryness try to get some Boveda packs to throw in your jars to keep them at the optimal humidity level.
That would be epic bro, we fly out in a little over 7 weeks can’t wait!

Update from the GG4s
Week 4 of flower - Do you guys count flowering weeks from the day you flipped or from the day you see pistils?

personally, from the flip day.

It only makes sense to me from the day you flip! In any case different strains would always react differently, one would have to have a measuring system which would not depend on the development of the plant. My 2 cents!

Quick update, I had to prune a small puny branch and instead of throwing it away I decided to dry and smoke the little tic tac buds, and it was surprisingly good.
This is how the rest of the plant is doing on average 
a lil nitrogen excess and heat… but doing very well.

Some of the GG4 had to be cut early because a fan fell over a plant and I had to remove all the affected branches.
This is some of that dried.

its the second time it happens hahaha so it was on me. the fan is really secured now tho.
so the smell is the only thing im not a big a fan. Even while growing, for a moment it seemed like it was going to smell sweet, but it turned to a strong dirt with a lil mint 
Ive read a lot that this s1-s smell gets better after curing, so we;ll have to see. but i dont have high hopes in terms of smell really. On the other hand, I smoked it fresh and it hit hard even the larfy stuff¡

I have some s1s as well I’m gonna be starting hopefully sooner than later. I was wondering how they will turn out myself. Smells are a big deal for me so I’m remaining hopeful! Let us know!!
I imagine that fan won’t be a problem anymore!

Ok so I can tell you after 2 week cure that smell does improve vastly (or I got accustomed to it). The earthy smell that was pungent and consistent through out the grow, slowly subdued after drying and during curing. It turns into an earthy/sweet when in jar and earthy/fuel when grinded.
I kinda like it but its not a popular aroma, its more of an acquired taste… and that was true for all phenos, one pheno had a tad more fuel smell, but they were all very consistent - which is funny because the S1 of a hermie failed experiment (as the story goes with gg4) should not be that consistent as far as I suppose… anyway, hope that helps!
