Gorilla Glue #4 - Part II

[negative37dBA]

Have you ever washed her? I imagine she’s yield well.

Not a full run but bits and pieces. It does yield well. I press a good bit of mine into rosin.

The smell is insane and the yield is higher than most cultivars. The Glue is hella greasy!
Have a sweet day. Peace, negative.

Frosty the snowman.....GG4 clone only in full white out mode.

I wondered if anyone had real GG4 anymore with everyone calling seeds GG4, but this has the leaf twist. Really miss it, and regret buying online clones that wiped out everything I had and wasted 2 years.

Yeah, same. But not online in my case, it was a local friend of mine. Passed me a GDP cut, which I hadn't even asked for... isolated for a couple weeks, all seemed fine. A month later, start finding spider mites. Those particular fuckers were next to impossible to kill. Ended up losing like 30-40 elite cuts that I had spent years putting together.

I do miss running the GG4. My wife's favorite, ever, and in my top 5 or so. Always yielded buckets, always tastes great, always uber potent. But I'm just so hesitant to get it back from anyone now. I've been running all seed runs the past couple years. Finding some special things, but I still miss my old favorites.

I tried everything on those little bastards, but they have 20 day life cycle, and have been exposed to everything over years in warehouse grows, so evolve to be resistant to everything. At the end put 2 no pest strips which should kill anything in 5 x 5 tent sealed for 3 days. Looked under scope and they were running around like meth heads. That caused botrytis and everything died. After removing everything bug bombed 4 times a week apart, and took 6 months off, leaving a regular light bulb on 24/7. With short light or no light they go into hibernation for upto a year, which is why many get them back again.

A huge difference between the borg and spider mites you might get from outdoors that never saw pesticides.

I wasn't aware of the no light/short light dormancy issue. Good shit.
But yeah, these fuckers were the very definition of The Borg. Abermectin did almost nothing, which blew my mind, as that was my last resort at the time (or so I thought). I did end up figuring out/finding a recipe for a home made insecticide that did kill them pretty well. Just had to do it almost daily for a couple weeks. But I threw in the towel after I had already lost half of my shit. Let the rest go, and the room has been dormant for two years+ now. Just moved my cacti in there for the winter.

This is what chat gpt says. Might be good to put sacrificial plants in suspected area to see if they get infected.

Spider mites, like the two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae), can enter a state known as diapause, which is similar to hibernation. Diapause allows them to survive unfavorable conditions, such as cold temperatures or a lack of food, by pausing their development and lowering their metabolic activity. Several factors enable spider mites to enter diapause:

1. Photoperiod (Day Length): As days grow shorter in autumn, spider mites detect the decreasing daylight and use it as a signal to enter diapause.
2. Temperature: Cooler temperatures in combination with shorter days signal mites to start preparing for diapause. However, if the environment remains warm, spider mites can continue their active life cycle without entering diapause.
3. Hormonal Changes: Similar to many other insects, spider mites experience hormonal shifts that trigger diapause when environmental cues indicate that unfavorable conditions are coming.

During diapause, spider mites may gather in protected areas, such as under leaves, in soil, or near structures, until conditions become favorable again for feeding and reproduction. This adaptation helps them survive through seasons when host plants are scarce or environmental conditions are harsh.
