Looking good @KushMan707 really wana c them gorillas banging ! Can I give alil of my input? I'd try to get my temp a bit higher, up around 78 maybe even 80 with lights on, and no less than 68 lights off, you don't want the medium to get cold which will equal cold root system and plants will be come dormit, red streaks and very slow growing. Space saver heaters work great.
Just my option

Thanks man. I def agree with you on the temps and thats what they are usually are (75-78) I took a pic of the thermometer when the tent was open which let all that nice warm air out. I am also now keeping my nighttime temps within a similar range with the help of my dehumidifier. I hope to see nice growth now my temps are getting closer to dialed. Thanks for your input grower4life, always appreciated.

So I noticed the stalks on my plants have become really thick but not much top growth besides some stretch. There is also some twisting going on with the leaves as well as some burn on the top new growth. I lowered my ppm to 700 w/ ph 5.9 and watered again today. They seem to be kicking into gear as the new growth is starting to look nice and full. Hopefully this adjustment will ease the burn, if not it looks like the plants will grow right through it anyway. I'm always terrible with transplanting and early veg and I don't know what it is I'm doing. If anyone could give me advice on that it would be great. I'm going to flip the girls over to flower in about 10 days or so. I decided that I'm going to use AN Big Bud instead of kushie kush since gg#4 isn't a kush specific strain. So far Im thinking I'm going to do the following bloom feeding schedule:
  1. _________________ week 1 week 2 week 3 week 4 week 5 week 6 week 7 week 8
  2. Sensi bloom a+b*apx ppm 650___700 ____ 750____800____850____600____600____000
  3. cal mag *apx ppm 120____120____120____120____120_____120____120____000
  5. roots excelurator*ml per gl 1.1____000____000____000____000____000____000____000
  6. hygrozyme *ml per gl 10____10______10_____12_____12_____10______10_____000
  7. nirvana*ml per gl 1_____1_______4______4______4_____4______000____000
  8. rhino skin *ml per gl 2_____2_______2______2______2_____2_______2_____000
  9. bud candy*ml per gl 2_____2 _______2_____3_______3_____2_______2_____1
  10. big bud*ml per gl 000____2_______4_____4______000___000_____000____000
  12. bud factor x *ml per gl 4______2______000___000_____4_____000_____000____000
  13. overdrive *ml per gl 000____000_____000___000____000_____3_______5_____000
  14. clearex*ml per gl 4 ml per gl week 9
This is the basic layout of my former bloom feeding schedule which I lost so I will be learning a lot from this run. I will make adjustments as needed as to what my plants are telling me. Any tips on using the nutrients I'm using would be appreciated!

When I went in my grow room today I noticed my plants are showing a lot more signs of burn. I really don't think what I fed them was overdoing it by any means (730-770 ppm) so I decided to pull my lights back up a bit. The lights are now apx. 36"above the canopy. Anyway I'll post some pics and maybe someone will be able to tell me whats going on.

What up @KushMan707 I'm not sure what the GG is a cross of but I do no that
my Cookie Monster does the leaf twisting and a tad bit of burning hear and no matter what until they really get going, i can tell from the pics ur GGs aren't locked up and growing.
U leached them a few days ago at a young age and then fed again that could bthe culprit rite there, I would say if the burning starts showing up on more new leafs then there is an issue, if all new growth looks health from now on dont worry about it.
What type of ph pen u using? Have u re calibrated it lately? U should do that at least every 2 to 3 weeks, RO water or tap water?
What's water temp at when feeding? It's winter if it gets below 68 that can start to cause uptake issue.

Again honestly I think the leaching and then feed at early age cause alil bit of quick uptake and a tad of burning

Thanks for the feedback bro. I had no idea that leaching them then feeding them would cause such a dramatic intake. Im using a tall boy de-chlorinator and sediment filter. my water comes out at about 30 ppm. My water temp when feeding has been about *61 which I know isnt optimal but my water heating wand isnt working so well right now. I figured since my room is apx. 78* it would warm up the water in my pots quickly. I use a bluelab combo meter and I always make sure to calibrate it once a week. I never want to ruin my harvest off something as silly as not calibrating my meter. I was thinking of watering my plants at 350 ppm today, just water in 2 days then just backing up my ppm to about 650 for the next week.

Hey so here another quick update. The other day I did as I said I was going to and watered my plants @ 320ppm/5.8 ph. Everything is looking much better except for 6 or 7 of the plants that look really stunted due to the burn. I am going to be topping most of the ladies tonight and I figured I would let the stunted ones just grow out as they normally would. I want to try and create as even of a canopy as I can. Other than that I will be watering them with straight water tomorrow and then a nutrient blend @ 650 ppm/ 5.8-6.0 ph the next day. I plan to flip them around the 27th or so. Ill have some updated pictures shortly.

I watered my plants the other day with just water. I noticed something quite odd though. Usually my water comes out of my filter at 30 ppm. Yesterday my water was coming out of my filter at 100 ppm. I have new filters so I figure thats not the issue. Has this happened to anyone else? Could it just be my city water fluctuating? Anyway everything is looking good except for a few that are stunted from the burn. Here are some current pics..

so I guess I wasnt really paying attention before, but when I was looking at my plants today and I noticed that the new growth still seems to be burning. I just watered them with plain water yesterday and was thinking I should continue to water them with plain water until I flip them into flower in 5-7 days. does this sound like a good idea? Im really surprised as to how sensitive this strain is. From what I've seen so far with this grow im going to start my bloom nutes much lighter than planned and probably finish very low as well. has anyone else had experience with plants that burn at such low ppm's?

What I have noticed about my glue is she doesn't eat like my gee's so I feed her on the lighter side like the cookies!

Gorilla Glue #4 is definitely a light feeder. Ive only been watering with plain water the past few days and they still have plenty of nutes to keep on growing and putting out dark foliage just fine. I've never grown cookies but I have grown og and they were just fine getting the same amount of nutes as im using now. I guess I just didnt really know that you could feed plants such low ppms with them being just finel,

So I was planning on watering with plain water until I flip them in to flower but the new growth was starting to look really light green so I decided to feed my plants today. Im still having a funny situation going on with my water bc now my ppm is 140 out of my filter. Im starting to think its the city water bc it comes out the faucet only 5 ppm higher than the filter. Im just going with the flow for now and will adjust nute ppm to however my water ppm fluctuates. heres what I fed with today:

base water 40 gal/ ppm 140
cal mag 65 ml/75 ppm
liquid karma 150 ml/57 ppm
sensi grow a&b 215 ml/383 ppm
total ppm 655 @ ph 5.8
water temp 69*

heres some updated pics

so after the last feeding my plants were still looking a bit light green. Today I fed them with again with a bit higher ppm(712). I added water to the reservoir today which was at 665 ppm and brought it down to 552ppm. I then added 13 ppm of cal mag and 147 of sensi a&b for a total of 712 ppm. Thats a 57 ppm increase from the last feeding. I hope this will get them green like I want and growing faster. A lot of my new growth has a yellow look to it as well as some what burnt. Im guessing this is a nutrient deficiency?

you seem to have alot of shiny dots on top of the leaves what are they?
Have you scoped them?

What pic do you see the white dots in? I haven't looked at the undersides of the leaves for a minute but I'm thinking it may be sulphur your seeing.

Ahh ok
Never used sulphur so not sure about that.

Last set of pics 3rd pic down.

Checked the leaves top and bottom today and there aren't any pests. Maybe it's just the light reflecting off the leaf weird in the pic.

I fed my plants again today with a higher ppm (862ppm). I feel like what I fed them yesterday (712ppm) made them a bit greener but not giving them everything they need. That's why I raised my nutrients to 862ppm plus the fact my water is coming out of my filter at 140ppm. I hope they will become lush and green with this adjustment. I'm having a lot more trouble getting these gals on there feet than I had expected but I guess thats just a part of starting all over again.
