Having problems rooting glue cuts would make sense if the pics you posted had the 'dud' syndrome going on, but they don't.

A heads up with the glue, replace mommas often, and try to only take cuts up high on the plant. It's bulshit I know, but gg4 can all of a sudden start throwing dud branches. If you end up using one of those fucked up cuts as a momma, you might as well ditch the strain. The dud is real, and it fucking sucks. Beleive me.

I'm glad you came and spoke about this cus I forgot all about this. :clap:

Interesting....what would tip me off on a dud? Kinda sounding like a pretty unstable stain so far lol

It's not that's it's unstable it's just there are dud cuts of it going around. It's more info about this over ICmag and Aero and let us know more about it because I know he experienced it before but I've never experienced it and hope to never experience it. You will know dud branches when they're flowering not frosty no smell looks mediocre.

My cut was healthy as can be, and then started doing the dud crap around 4-5 months after first getting it. It's still there waiting to come back, but I'm doing things to keep it at bay. It sucks, because I don't wanna throw this cut away. I'm def not done with it yet :-)

When I originaly got the dozen cuts I remember throwing away 2 of them because i saw that shit in them. I've experienced that dud bulshit before in a couple other strains, so I know whT to look for. It would be nice to know exactly what it is. I would like to know 100% if it actually is the stem nematode. It does sort of fit the bill though. Either way, there's no cure for ths alfalpha stem nematode if thats what it is, and that sucks :-(

So I managed to get some good roots from one of the GG4! Its been VERY slow going getting roots from it but they are finally coming out of the bottom of the 6" net pot and shes showing new growth. I gave up on all the others a few days ago that just would not root. I will say that momma is doing well in flower and is stretching a bit and showing flowers. I found a couple of frosty calyx from where I cut clones and picked em off to smell.....WOW, it was like straight cocoa. If this is only the start then I'm really gonna like this.

I just rooted some GG#4 in rockwool cubes. Took about 12 days... Surprised at how long they took.

I got almost a month into this bitch haha

HydroRed · Apr 11, 2016

Twisty leaves and new roots. I fed her some nutes now that shes establishing good and it was too hot for her so I dailed it back. I got me a new momma finally. These pics are from the other day so the roots are really starting to jump off now.

Here's "Old Momma" in like week 2-ish of 12/12 under the 1K HPS
She reminds me of a "popcorn bud" kinda strain so far the way shes developing.

popcorn bud isn't what I would use to describe the gg4 cut I had, more like massive long beastly colas that are dripping in resin and smell STRONG of chem/diesel. Also the cut I had roots really fast for clones , 7-10 days max.

Give your cut a couple more weeks to stretch and bud up, you will see some HUGE buds.

I wish I could say it was me that was the problem with the clones not rooting well, but I just ain't comfortable in saying that truthfully.
Your 100% right about how early it is so I'll still be optimistic for some Yodaweed :joint:

.

There are a lot of flower sites on her though -and I'm cool with that haha. I really didn't plan to even flower her. I had been grooming her in veg for a minute since she was going to be a Momma. She's had 13 cuttings taken from her and she's still bushy as hell.

If its the same as I had, you are in for a real treat, turns from bushy to stretchy and big buds, lots of resin, lots of smell, thing is a rosin producer too, squirts big amounts. One of the best cuts I have run, gotta be patient, your cut looks VERY similar to mine, it explodes in flower, stretch first little bud sites then the weight comes and it doesn't stop until its finished, also makes so much resin it gets ridiculous.

I do like my bubble hash....

I hope you have the cut I had than, the amount and quality of the hash is astounding, it has become my measuring stick for other strains, if they can come close to this plants yield on rosin I consider them really good quality.

Heres a quick set of pics for those hanging out for the finish
Its really difficult to get a good pic with my phone under the 1K watt hps. She's loving it though and showing a ton of bud sites.

akhiymjames said:
That's is mos def her. She has a look that you can notice a mile away when you see her and yea the color on stalks is here no matter what. Stem rub in veg gives you hat coco/chocolate/coffee/mocha smell with hints of diesel and in flower she freaks of chem and diesel till after 10+ weeks the chocolate comes out more.

Here she is close to being finished

GG#4

Man you hit right on the head with the chocolate coco smells. Im really smelling this now 20 days into flower but have been smelling it for a cpl weeks.

The GG#4 at my local dispensary gives me headaches. Why?

Just wait till the buds really form and start to get bigger she will be very stanky very loud of Chem and Diesel. The longer she goes the more the mocha type smell. Enjoy her she's good

Man, I hate to say it dude, but that doesn't look like GG #4 to me. The leaves don't look right, and the structure is way off. Nothing "bushy" about the glue. Super viney and stretchy, with long gaps between nodes.

I guess the proof will be in the smoke, but I'm thinkin that's something other than glue. Just my opinion... hope I'm wrong.

I think it may be kinda bushy for him cus it was his mom and took lots of cuts from her before she was flipped. I hope it's real too looked right when I looked at pics few pages back but your a right about it not being bushy very viney sucky node spacing but it does have that early frost trait. I'll be some pics of my cut in here

akhiymjames · Apr 15, 2016

GG#4 in veg

GG#4 in flower outdoor

Indoor

Not proper runs on both either. Still haven't had a stellar run with her always root bound and eats up everything. Run coming up with her will be superb

Could it be the massive amount of nutes most growers use, the pesticides or some mold?
