Gorilla Glue #4, Godzilla Glue #4, Cherry Bomb, and Lemon OG x Fire Alien Haze

Hi everyone!
This year I'm growing one old favourite, and 3 strains that are new to me.
Starting off with my old favourite...

Cherry Bomb
Feminised photoperiod
50% indica/50% sativa
Big Bomb x "Fruity Mother"
THC: 17-22%
CBD: 0%
Flowering: 8-10 weeks, late Sept-Early Oct outdoors
Effect: Head high into a relaxing body stone
Taste: Cherry, fruity, with skunk undertones

Next we have two strains from Herbies, the first of which was a freebie

Gorilla Glue #4
Feminised photoperiod
50% indica/50% sativa
Chem Sis x Sour Dubb x Chocolate Diesel
THC: 25-30%
CBD: 0%
Flowering: 60-65 days
Effects: Body high, relaxing, sedative
Taste: Coffee, chocolate, diesel

Godzilla Glue #4
Feminised photoperiod
50% indica/50% sativa
Chem Sis x Sour Diesel x Chocolate Thai
THC: 29%
CBD: 0%
Flowering: 55-65 days
Effects: Relaxing, medicinal, euphoric
Taste: Pine, lemon, chocolate

Lemon OG x Fire Alien Haze
I have zero info on this one. I got the seeds from a friend who said they're sativa dominant, and quick flowering. That could be Fire OG x Alien Haze, or Fire Alien x Haze.

I'm planning to grow these girls outdoors, Cherry Bomb in the ground, Godzilla Glue #4 in a SIP, and the other two in 7 gallon pots.
The girls in pots and the SIP will be fed Mega Crop, and I have cal-mag, mag nitrate, and Epsom salts standing by in case they're needed.

Everyone is welcome to follow, and questions and comments are welcome!

Whoops!
I meant to add some pics!
I started them inside a while ago (not sure what day) so they're close to going outdoors into their final pots.
They've all been topped, and I'll be spreading them out soon.

30⁰C out there today! What a start to the outdoor season.

I'm always so happy to see threads that are about photoperiod plants. It didn't even used to be a thing to distinguish, but now, with all the auto flowering "stuff" around and all the pollen chucking happening, I fear that a lot of real (photoperiod) marijuana may disappear one day in the (hopefully distant) future. Nice plants...Good job!

Thanks!

So do you see it kind of like how landraces/heirloom strains are disappearing?
Or how most strains are an indica/sativa hybrid, even if it's a low percentage?

Kinda both. Indica and Sativa are both photoperiod species so, when they are combined, they still grow the same way. Cannabis ruderalis is a completely different species of plant and it has a completely different way of growing and it's not potent. I can't find a good reason for using it, recreationally, anymore than I can find a reason to use industrial hemp, recreationally.

They're all in their final pots, and I'm continuing to stretch them out to the sides.

Lots of rain recently. They don't mind too much, but the top shoots of Gorilla Glue #4 were almost broken off the other day. The stem grew after the training hooks were set, and they ended up lower than the points where the branches connect to the stem.
I removed the hooks, but I may have to take the top node off to prevent apical dominance.
