This space to be completed in detail after curing and testing. :-D She looks good and smells great. Harvest and trim were easy and while she's still waiting for her final cut and totals, she has been a very satisfying grow and a lot of fun.
Day 73 - Today she got the chop! (Well, the first chop) - Weights will be updated when everything is dry to be as accurate as possible. She's got a nice, sweet/sour smell and was a breeze to trim. She's a little small but she was also the first girl to finish. Updates on the second harvest, in a week or so, will be edited in.
Day 78 - Final chop is done! Her final overall wet weight is 627.7 grams, or 22.14 ounces. Her projected dry weight is 132.49 grams, or 4.67 ounces. She was a comparatively small girl but she was super thick and that seems like a totally satisfactory... total.
The Triple Threat answer - The original point of this grow was to compare the results of a single strain between three different grow methods. Soil, coco, and DWC. There is still more to be harvested from the coco, and the soil girl has at least another week to grow, but the answer is clear, for *this particular strain* - Under identical lighting, with identical nutrients, apart from accounting for the differences in medium, coco seems to be the best way to grow a Gold Glue girl. This DWC girl did great, but didn't grow like a freak in DWC. The soil girl is going to be *Maybe* a solid two and a half ounces. MAYBE three? The coco girl looks like she's going to give me something close to seven ounces.
Whichever way they turn out, growing is fun!
@Hexus, I had one with similar leaf issues on my FB Blackberry grow and have seen it in at least 6 other grows on GD. I think it may be TMV (Tobacco mosaic virus) but without actually testing for it I can't be sure. Some peoples plants grew faster than the issue would show itself. The leaves still were showing some slight signs of it but not extensive. If I run into it again I'm going to spring for a test kit and take a sample to my local university agricultural lab to satisfy my curiosity. I could be wrong!
@Philindicus, The Coco and DWC Gold Glues both had weird, really slow growing, wrinkly leaves, and they seem to have sort of straightened themselves out. The Soil Gold Glue was a three time non-starter. The fourth seed came out looking like a regular old plant and seems to be doing fine. *Shrug* I'm calling genetics just because of the variety of mediums and the consistency of the problems with ONLY this strain in the grow.
