There is no more stretch. The buds are now fattening up and getting stickier. The Gorilla is a smaller plant than the Strawberry. But the buds are much fatter. Still only looks like 1.5oz on it. The Strawberry could give 2oz. It has more bud sites but they have some weight to put on.
The smells are really coming on too. The Gorilla has a spicy diesel smell. The Strawberry really is starting to smell like sweet creamy strawberry. Literally. It is, as promised, covered in trichomes already. Even the bud stems are covered and they go all the way out to the end of a lot of leaves.
Trichomes on both are significantly cloudy with a lot still clear and almost no amber.
With the last grow running out yesterday, the biggest problem is letting them both go to full term and curing. Lockdown and Christmas aye. Went through it too quickly. I’ll be cropping as little as possible this time. Maybe just the Strawberry, which officially should take a week or two less than the Gorilla.
UPDATE: Made cannabutter out of a discarded bag of trim from the last grow (Two Tents). Baked peanut cookies a day later. Had a test today. So stoned! Enough for a week or two for my wife’s needs. That will get me close enough to the projected end for the Strawberry at 9 weeks. I’ve only fed it water the last feed. I’ll just keep flushing it now. Sorted.
