69 / 35 Days - Bracts are doing their oompa loompa impression well.
70 / 36 Days - Start paying attention to leaves. Some symptoms on others, and these aren’t perfect either. GB is looking far ahead of the others, but rather not have a damaged canopy.
71 / 37 Days - Bulbous heads, tall stalks and not glassy. She’s looking good - quality-wise. The freebie is the best of the bunch so far. Lots of time left. Canopy is nice and strong heading into 6 complete weeks.
72 / 38 Days - If this one isn’t ~14-18 days away I’m crazy. Looks like an 8-week variety. Lots of plumping to do, but it looks like the last 2+ weeks. Geez, the more expensive seeds better pack on the snow soon, or they’ll be left in the dust by this plant.
73 / 39 Days - Got elevated part b dose.
75 / 41 - It is the East, and Gorilla Blue is the sun. Arise, fair Gorilla Blue, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick with pale grief. She speaks, yet she says nothing. What of that? Her trichomes discourses. I will answer it. To twinkle in their spheres till they return… What Shakespeare was really writing about (chopped up a bit, but got there).
But seriously, another week of excellent development. Trichomes look awesome. Some amber seen in any location scoped. I'll keep watching just in case it’s a genetic freak and finishes quickly Relative to my garden’s environment, this plant looks fucking amazing. Another 10-14 days unless it packs on a new layer of growth, which is looking less likely by the day. All four got an elevated N top-fed. F#1 will continue on that mix. GB has not shown any major N-def while losing a nominal amount of lower leaf material.
Smell test today -- Cannot place it. Guess there’s a hint of blueberry. Bit of an unusual funk like other gorilla strain I grew; expect it to come through in a spicy taste later. My plants don’t smell much until I chop them to pieces. By the time I got to this one, my nose was mixed up and fingers were stinking of previous attempts - different fingers still impacting overall smell.
Crossing my fingers she tastes good. I'm a fan of gorilla strain potency, but not the typical gorilla taste.
Man it´s incredible the way you weigh the drying buds every day. I personally never thought of that and never saw anyone do it, thanks for that! Also, the genetics seem pretty good. Peace.
