Small but mighty plant, same size as the kushy but she definately benefited from the light upgrade and the extra time. I'm anxious to see what the dry weight is because the buds are quite dense. The smell is strong of skunk and pine right now but I'm hoping that that cheesey funk comes out more with a proper cure. As I said previously, I like to wash my buds before I trim and I like to trim them wet. I have included a before and after close up of the main cola for anyone out there that is concerned about losing trichomes. If you are going to wash just be careful not to bash them off the side of your water containers and they will be fine. I use doc bud brix method if you want to look it up. I first cut off the branches and remove fan leaves and small leaves and tips that don't have any trichomes on them. Then i wash them, shake them out a bit and then trim off all the goodies for extracts and edibles. That way I know all the material I will be using is clean.
Didn't get very big but I'm pretty happy with how easy it was to look after this one. No signs of any problems through the entire grow. I will follow up with weights and smoke report as soon as it's ready, and I can't wait!!
This one definately has the strongest smell by far. Even days after the chop she still has that great skunky sort of smell, not even a hint of that fresh cut grass smell you get with most plants. The buds are also beautiful to look at. I can see why this one is such a classic.
Smoked some at 2 weeks of curing and I couldn't be happier with the results. The smoke was smooth and tasty and the buzz was fantastic. I will be growing a lot more of this one.
At day 76 for flowering and still not ripe, is this normal for cheese and gorilla strains in soil? Or am I counting wrong? Do I start counting from the flip? Or from when you start seeing pistils?
Every grow is different and like all strains there are different pheno types so it's always best to use a jeweller loupe to verify and find out for sure.
Hi! Start count when flip to 12/12. It's normal phenotype differences.. Some might get ready bit earlier. Hope this helps out. Happy harvest! Hehe I'm sure it's gonna be looks good 👌
Hi @indoorontario! 10 week into flowering is a common thing, and many environmental factors could impact the duration of the late flowering stage. They are close from being ready, but you don't want to rush anything. As always with home growing, patience is the key 😎 You did a great job, keep us updated on the harvest and happy growing! 👊
