👉This is a Gorilla Glue #4 freebie seed from Herbies Headshop. The jar aroma is a nice light citrus, with hints of that subtle intoxicating aromatic induced sensation when sniffing one of the colas before harvest. When pinching off a bit to load into a bong, the frostiness makes it sticky, and the stronger pleasant aroma of a stanky citrus is released. I am a low dose stoner and I take only one or two hits, this Gorilla definitely passed the one hit test. The hit was smooth and the taste at exhale was sort of generic, yet lightly sweet and unique. I think the uniqueness will be easier to describe after a month or two. It’s a nice happy citrus flavor sensation. I get a slight instant buzz after a hit, nice uplifting and it makes me smile as I think…I grew this! Settling into surfing the net or watching a movie or a college football game, the buzz creeps in slowly, subtly for the next 20-30 minutes till I suddenly notice that I am flying, super focused on the activity and slightly confused at the same time. This intense buzz lasts for a long time. Super munchies seems to be a side effect.

Grew some good big buds. Minimal heat with good footprint. Adjusting the output is not difficult, but isnt convienient and hard to find the adjustment pot. Overall its a a great step up from the blurple lights I used previously.

Going on two years with zero durability issues. Zipper is holding up with no signs of wear.

👉The time finally arrived for the harvest, mostly cloudy trichomes with scant few amber, very few white pistols, and the leaves had either faded or were fading. The run-off pH would quickly plummet and the run-off EC would spike. This may be an indicator that the plant is ready but that only would be conjecture on my part. The overall look of the plant to me said it was ready. The aroma was super strong citrusy and intoxicating. THe leaves were fading and there were virtually no white pistols. 👉I harvested bottom to top. I hung each cola on alphabetized clothes pins with gardening wire attached for hanging on the rack. The buds are dense and shaped like pine cones. I trimmed it semi-tight, but left some of the smaller frosty sugar leaves. The buds and sugar leaves are very frosty but it wasn’t as scissor freezing as the Gorrila Glue I grew last year. I measured the post trim wet weight on a self-calibrating digital scale. I checked the accuracy of the scale with a set of scale calibration weights and it was accurate at all weight ranges. I logged each colas trimmed wet weight and hung on the rack. I have a 42” tower fan. For first 12 hours I ran it at its medium setting, then reduced to lowest speed. I rotated the side facing the fan after 24hrs. Then after another 24 hrs I placed them in paper sacks with to top open. I left the buds on the clothes pin hanger and clipped the bag to that. After another 24 hours I closed the tops. Another 24 hrs and I test weighed a couple of colas. I monitored for another couple of days until the weights averaged 20-25% reduced from the initial wet weight. I then cataloged the weight of each cola and placed each into its own jar, most got one of those small cheap hygrometers. These hygrometers have been calibration tested and I know the drift of each. My target humidity is 62%. I would open the jars for brief periods of time during the next couple of days until the humidity stabilized at 62%. Once stable I placed 62% humidity packs in the jars. I took out most of the hygrometers for the next plants cure, but leave some of them with the best buds. The Queen cola was 20g when placed in the jar. That is about 24% remaining weight from trim. 24% is a little on the high side of the humidity target range. The jar the Queen cola is in, is a wide mouth counter jar and I will be toking that bud primarily and it will dry out the fastest. I have compensated the weight I entered on the dry weight spec to reflect about 20g more of humidity loss and another 30 for the stems that are left on the bigger buds. The final weight of the buds going into the jars was 254g (not including the larf at 23gdry). 200g of plump sticky pine cones for the final weight is pretty nice for a 1 gallon pot. 👉I wrote this review at 3 weeks before the 6 week cure mark. In my short experience of being weed rich, its been interesting to take note of how the flower continues to ‘cure’ as time goes on. I have found that 6 weeks isn’t a given for when its ‘cured’. I have observed that as weed ages it changes. I have not noticed much difference with 2-3 week old buds at 62% humidity when compared to 6 weeks from jarring. But I do notice significant difference around 6 months of age. The flavor is enhanced and the buzz is stronger. It maintains this level then 8-12 months it has leveled off and all strains are becoming more ‘couch lock’ inducing. My observations are not scientific by any means. This is just my 8th plant in the 2 years that cannabis became legal for home grow in my area. But I still have each of the plants and rotate which one I consume. 👉I loved growing this plant, and hopefully gained more knowledge. It fox-tailed a bit at the end. I think my frequent fertigation techniques contributed to most of the issues I had. I think I was a little too conservative with nutrient mix and irrigation volume and frequency. I used only 10% expanded clay pebbles in the coco mix as opposed to the standard 30%. This was slightly problematic at first before the roots filled the pot. Fertigation events would cause erosion and caution had to be taken around the seedling. I placed a layer of hyrdoton pebbles across the surface and the issue was solved. Once the pot was filled with roots it took 10+ minutes to give the plant 2L of solution. The pot was packed hard with roots. This may have been a contributing factor to some of the possible nutrient issues I had. I dont think the nutrient issues I saw had much impact on the final outcome. To get 200g from a 1 gallon pot is wonderful.

I was using coco and getting a little green agae once in a while, treated with h2o2 and it went away. Does your air flow around the pots seem to be sufficient? I'm guessing here, but I had a lot of air flowing around my pots which might have dried the outside up immediately not giving much chance to form algae..?? There was a little green, but mostly the white chalky dust of the dried nutrients that I'd flush out with clean water once in a while. I'd immediately start nutes again after I rinsed. Like I said, just a guess.

@horrifiedonlooker, I do have a floor level oscilating fan that blows on the pots. I get pretty decent circulation around the tent. I have upped the concentration of H2O2. Its already looking better.

Bud_Good, Looks like it's really gaining traction now and overall looks really good. You're doing everything you can for this girl and I'm sure she appreciates it. When I grew my blueberry it was also short, stocky and dense making it difficult to water as well as LST or even HST. The branches got thick quickly and were short. However, it later spread out but the bushiness of all the branches and leaves often got in the way of flowers. I'm curious how yours is going to behave and how you deal with it. My next grow of blueberry I think I'm going to get more aggressive sooner in its growth cycle to try to spread it out more, if that's even possible. The branches were tight to the stalk. It still did fine and put out a lot of buds but I think it's got more potential as the lower ones were smaller. I'm sure this one will reward you later with lots of buds too. Keep up the great work!!

@horrifiedonlooker, Thanks for checking it out and sharing your thoughts. I dont plan on any lst or hst, I will do some lolly pop later for the lower and inner areas which are mega shaded. The structure of this plant right now just as you described your blueberry, compact and dense. Which is perfect and hope it grows some good big buds.

@BloodSweatBeers, Thanks, I got everything from Walmart, lol! I mix in 2.5 gallon drink dispensing jugs. I use a plant watering jug with a long spout, one 1.5l and one 5l. I use Kitchen shelving racks for the plant stands, white dish pans for the run off (which are designed to work with the racks) and have extras so I can do a quick swap to retrieve the runoff for measuring, then rinse (with an H2O2 solution in a pressurized tank, then wipe dry). I bought a couple dozen white wash clothes and use a fresh one everyday. I put the used ones on a rack to dry. When its time to wash I wash them with bleach. I pour the run-off in a graduated clear bucket to measure volume, pH and EC. I then pour it in a 3L plastic bottle ( I have 5 that fit snug in a metal dish pan, and have a funnel to guide the liquid. When the jugs of run-off are full, I take them to my patio garden and pour into my peppers, herbs, and tomato plants (the plants LOVE it!). I have giant basil plants! LOL! Thanks for the opportunity to over explain...lol! Fueled by My last grow...Cream Auto...😎

I'd say you've done a wonderful job on these plants! They're big, lush and full of very nice size cones that are stacking up. Anyone who reads your reports can appreciate what you've done and what you're experiencing during this grow. Nice descriptions all around. On my next grow I'll try some of your techniques and can only hope I do as well. I'd be happy with that. Good luck on the harvest and please report how it turns out. They look and sound tasty.

@horrifiedonlooker, Thanks! Its really become a dense dome of leaves. I just started pruning some lower/inner shaded leaves and secondary branches. Its really drinking alot too! its doing the flower stretch nicely, I didnt top it but its hard to distinguish the main cola from the rest of the buds.

I use Kryptonite soil, and never get green algae.... but I use another pox mix for other plants/veg, and I do see a little bit on that soil.... Must be the type of soil causing this....

@Crawlndog, I'm using Coco Coir. It stays moist due to the frequency of the irrigation. Just a byproduct of the methodology. It's not a major concern, just annoying to me.

Hey Bud, it's been a while since I looked around and noticed your new grow. I'm interested in this strain myself. I also noticed your issues with the solution running off when poured too fast. I didn't see all the details, but did you also put in some perlite? That really helped mine for providing air and moisture retention and drainage. I put a lot in my mix of coco. I'm sure it will all work out fine. I wish you well on this grow and hope it works out for you and look forward to your results. I tried an outdoor grow and the rabbits ate my plants the first night. Lesson learned for my backyard. Take care.

@horrifiedonlooker, Happy you checked out my Gorilla Glue. I am using expanded clay pebble in place of per-lite. I normally mix it 2/3 coco 1/3 pebbles. I have had excellent result using it. I was hoping to find out if there is a better mix ratio. I am adjusting the ratio to Coco 10:1. I also lined the bottom with a layer of pebbles. Just after this week 3 entry I added a layer of pebble across the top. This has eliminated the ruts and channeling holes when not adding solution slow enough. Once the roots fill the pot the surface will not rut as easily, and the pebbles will help prevent erosion. Sorry the rabbits ate your weed. Such a treat to grow indoors!
