Hydroponic Gorilla Glue #4 Grow With The Flow (ebb)

[AlphaPhase]

Day 42 ebb buckets. This batch will be flowered for 10 weeks, so 4 weeks to go. Nothing out of the ordinary and nothing really special about this run besides the canopy is much better than usual.



Day 9ish - this batch I'm excited about. They are already bigger than the last sog and have filled in so much better. Straight beasting in the tray 1100ppm of the usual nute mix. Roots are good, no issues I can't imagine what they'll look like in 4 more weeks or so, I know there's 2x as many tops this run though, so it'll get interesting. They are also the same height as the last sog plants were at harvest time think I nailed the perfect amount of plants, toppings and flower height woot!

Just harvested the glue ebb buckets at 70 days of flower. Look to be a decent bounty. I used Kool bloom powder for 1 week while dropping the ppm of the base nutes. Not much different really that I can tell, maybe a little heavier. 3 day of 400ppm nutes, 2 weeks of lowering the ppm to 400. The smell is really strong, very pungent.


Week 5 of the glue sea of green. Buds aren't as big as last sea of green grow, but much more dense. No heat stress this time. Looking to be going well. 1100-1150 ppm and have switched to bloom nutes at week 4 this run. Much more healthy imo that last run, can't wait to see what it looks like in a few weeks.

Think I missed the week 9 and 8 update

On your personal reasons and experience when you flush I notice you flush at 400 ppm's vs just plain ph'h water....is that how you always done your flushing?

Yeah, I just lower the nutrient ppm slowly over a week or two, so if I'm running a 10 week strain, at 8 full weeks I'm at about 1000ppm or so and I walk it down about 150ppm every 3 says, mainly to rinse out my system a bit and still give the plants nutrients. I don't believe in the whole water only flush, because plants do need nutes in their final days, just not nearly as much as early and mid flower when they are growing extremely fast. I find that once the stretch is over and buds are setting, around week 5 or 6, they need less nutrients, especially nitrogen, so I like to minimize the nitrogen levels as much as I can, especially by the time I harvest, but I like to keep the p, k, mg and ca levels available

Thanks man. I have about 14-17 days left with my super lemon haze and raredarkness. I think I'll try out your recipe...

Right on, he was probably growing the clone only cut, just one pheno, or an s1 seed form. It is some fire! Bummer he moved before ya got some cuts of it

Prety5y sure all clones where from seed mother. Yeah its a dummer for sure he moved. Always had good results with his clones and i can always use his advise and experience.

No problem bro, give it a shot and let me know what ya think they'll start fading about 5-7 days after the start of lowering the ppm so don't panic lol, it's normal, it may take longer to fade depending how much nitrogen is stored

Thanks for all of the posts Alpha. Im currently running GG#4 myself in 5 gal hydroton drip systems. Bummer about the first crop getting cut short. Im glad to see you got back up quickly and it looks like you are settling in just fine now haha. Plants look great!

Alpha with your 400 ppm flush are you adding cal-mag to your nutrients or not? I've been using it through my whole run with no problem and now I've read mix views on flushing with cal mag. So I decided to not include it in my flush.....

I only add calmag when I make up a fresh res, and I might add like 1tbs a month, other than that I don't add anymore calmag. My tap water is 80-120ppm - - so when I'm doing my nutrient strength walk down, I do not add Cal mag, just tap water to top up the res and lower the ppm

Damn cat how many threads you run? Shit came out great.

Thanks bro, just this one and my journal, I've just been posting my different glue grows here but there's only 4 weeks left of glue so this one will be ending soon

The final tally for the glue ebb bucket grow is around 2.5 units for 11/15 plants (11 of the 15 plants were glue). Not bad I suppose. At 10 weeks harvest the smell is a bit different and the high is more narcotic. The smell is still a Chem funk but with mocha undertones and the taste is kind of like a Cologne, similar to the 8 and 9 week harvests but a little different that I can't put my finger on.


Here's the glue sea of green at 6 full weeks (this Sunday will be 7 full weeks) and I will be adding koolbloom powder at 1/4tsp a gallon and adjusting the ppm to 900-1000. I'll be harvesting them at 9 full weeks. Everything seems to be going OK. Buds are dense now and very frosty.

Well, this thread is nearing it's end (i know, hold the applause) -

This is the last batch of glue, at least for a long time. I'm glued out

Glue sea of green at 7 full weeks. Two weeks to go. I like this round better than the last sea of green, the buds are smaller but more more dense. They are staying nice and healthy using the maxi. I'm happy the last grow will Come out pretty good.

Slowly lowering ppm from 1100 downwards now.

Glued out, I know the feeling. But damn it's so hard to say goodbye to a good thing.
(so I'm keeping one going) lol.
