Update day 61 flowering(71 days since flip): The Gorillas have all now escaped the jungle !!!.
I have now taken the last 2 girls out for their 48 hours dark period and they look absolutely amazing. The 2 smaller girls are dried and harvested with a dissapointing yield but they were a small pheno and i need to dial in this room better for coverage too. The 2nd two will bring their overall yield to a more acceptable result. Rhe finished buds on the dried ones are a great example of the strain and very gritty to crumble in. I will uodate yield and harvest info once these girls are finished totally. i expect a 10 day dry hopefully to get the best flavour and potency. I have pushed these final 2 past wjat i would normally dare do. They are amazing to touch and smell . i expect they wont lose much in actual bud sizes as they dry due to their denseness.
UPDATE:Day 64 flowering (78 since flip) All the Gorillas are now finished and awaiting final trim and harvest dried. The Nugs on the second pair are solid and hopefully won't shrink too much. I hope she keeps their beautiful colours too. Hopefully a slow dry now before a final tally and harvest report. Then its on to the Fast Buds bonanza , followed by a run from Original Sensible Seeds. All getting exciting in the farm now again.
@Silky_smooth, why thankyou ma'am. lol am so close to the end now. Gd needs a more regular option for updates. so much can change in a week. They are glistening now and trichs are starting to cloud. only got 6 days left so should be bang on time of 56-63 days. rock solid buds too. Always a pleasure Silky
@Ganjagrandaddy,yeah i dont mean no Harm but the gorilla glue #4 by anesia seeds they come pretty close to the original one and she is a strong one she only in very late flower(quad-main-or flux set up) needs Some support because when you train your branches automaticly are stronger to support the weight by themselfs
Since i train i almost never have to use support except for the last one(it was a behind the sences grow) future #1 by anesia seeds that really rocked my world 2 weeks of veg and she gave me close to 190gram of dryed herb under a 120w quantumboard i had 3 trained and 1 untrained under it and pulled 386 grams of herb out of it so more then worth it😱😱🙏🙏
@Silky_smooth,Why thank you madam. lol. very nice comment much appreciated Silky. I love the original Gorilla Glue which we only saw occasionally here in the uk. Had to try this Barneys version . They are great to grow if not a bit floppy with their thin secondaries. i hoped the quadlines would encourage them to support themselves better than "au natural" seems to. See so many gorilla varieties with similar issues of looking like "marionette" Cannabis shows.lol Will
e ruining their look with supports soon.lol
Always a pleasure Smooth
@Silky_smooth, Thank you. I am happy with the results they have shown from pushing them for longer. The ripeness of them compared to any of the past 5 years grows is obvious. i usually scope them for.amber trichs then harvest but decided different this time and it paid off i think.The 2 i harvested already are very nice to smoke so i expect these will be headbangers with more time to amber the inner bud too.
I am very happy to see the way you record and describe your videos. Moreover, you grow the same strain as mine and you are in advance of a couple of weeks, which is really helpful as it is my first grow. Thank you for sharing these pics and videos of your flowers, they are very nice and beautiful. Congrats
@Hasard,Wow thank you buddy. very nice of you to say.
I will come and join the fun too. Do love this strain to grow now and will be coming back to it again in the future. You may need to consider support canes before you actually need to do them. The buds get very dense and heavy towards the end and will fall over at some point. to avoid damage to the stems i would support them earlier next time.
It does seem to depend in which Phenotype of the strain you get as well. i seem to have 2 different ones at opposite ends of the scale.lol
good luck. will see you at your journal.
@GrowDutch, i am hoping to get a personal best. The no1 is a beasty and has been from seed stage. hoping they wont do the flop when they get heavier. dont like yo-yo's much.lol fingers crossed. thanks for the comments mate
@Cultus, welcome aboard mate. Have a feeling this could be my best harvest to date with how well the quadlines have all formed. Once those colas start building , should hold some nice weight. cannot wait to finish the stretch now though , need to defol again badly .lol. Update tomorrow yeeha. Thanks for the company mate. started seeing tumbleweed building up. lol
