Hi community, my first post here and actually just started looking at here although I am on my second year, third growth at the moment.
Pics are from 1 single Royal gorilla.
Environment:
150x150x200cm tent, 1000w full spectrum samsung diodes led as main lamp, 2x90cm UV, 2x90 deep red and 2x90 IR add ons, under canopy full spectrum 150w bars. Side lights.
Tent is fully closed, CO2 is injected through sensor connected to solenoid valve, tent also has a dedicated full climate control keeping temperature and humidity as set. Everything is controlled by the the same software as I run almost everything from the same brand ecosystem.
I am on day 42 of flower and she is still building, smell exploded a few days ago, I was thinking about 62 or 63 days but she may well go beyond 70 or 80. I am using this plant for concentrate extraction so I'll keep an eye on those trichome heads. Today I took some 200x pics and they are yet 20 to 30% cloudy, most glassy and almost no amber but she is already frosty. Last year I grew mimosas and I had colas the size of an arm but no frost. Made a big switch in approach, nuts and genetics and so far it seems this gorilla will hit hard.
Hope you like the photos as much as I like the babes, I spend most of my free time and some of the not free but who cares around them,.it's a case of mad deep love.

Edit: apologize if this is not the correct place for this post, I would ask the senior members help or the admin to move to the proper place.

Hello and welcome to the Farm! ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพ๐ŸŒฟ

You seem to be a very ambitious grower, with a lot of interests and I can tell ya, your on the best forum you can be! Lots of very long time grower, knowledge in every kind and very good people to help y grow even better weed or make extracts.
May I ask which extracts you're looking for?
Your system just on the third grow seem to be very effective and dialed in!
Love seeing grows like that and I hope you enjoy the extracts you get outta this horrible(they should be potent af).

One thing for checking trichomes is to only check the buds never the leafs, they ripe very fast.
In your case the buds are not really present so you wait until the shaped.
Most of the trichomes on the leafs will be all amber when the buds are mostly milky.
Hairs should be ~80% brown before pull.
 
Welcome to the Farm! New look and all!๐Ÿ˜† (just got updated)

there are some great threads started on extracts. member/admin GNick55 is a master hasher and has awesome tutorial videos and instructions on a few threads along with theres an activeโ€™ish thread on pressing rosin : ) just get in there and start chatting and members will join in for sure!

awesome job on the grow, looking really nice!โœŒ๏ธ
 
Thank you so much, I will take some time this weekend to browse through the forum and get to know the ways a bit better.
I am very proud of this test pilot, I am pushing this beast, She always looked healthy, and in flower always just the tip burn, used the help of two AI's then my own feel of things.
I am using 3 tents, one small for clones, small tent, small light, small heater, big humidifier, been taking 10/10 each time I cloned which only happened twice.
Second tent is a 70x140x200, use if for mothers and pre-flower. Medium lamp, no extras in small and medium tent, just the basics.
My flower tent I already spoke about it.
I want to make hash. I am Portuguese, been smoking Morocco shร—ร— far too long. I am an engineer so I took my grow as I do with everything else I dedicate myself, have a hard time stopping myself sometimes. But I did studied a lot, seen lots of videos, tried to distinguish bro science from real science so Dr. BUGSBEE rules, and learned to extract with Frenchy Canoli videos and made a first serious grow attempt and approach a year ago, stopped, re-equipped and here I am.
I have a good semi-pro stainless steel ice water machine extraction system with water recirculation and a few goodies and a small freeze dryer still packaged waiting for a first serious wash which I hope this gorilla will provide.
Once this monster is washed I Intend to instead of having a huge 50+ heads plant going for 3x3 inside the flower tent having this way 3 plants ready to wash, 3 in middle flower and 3 starting to flower, it is possible and it may allow me to have new stuff every month.
I am having the fun of my life buiding the setup and now seeing them all working.
Just a quick shot of the other two tents.
Thank you all, I look forward getting to know some of you a bit better and learn as I lack the experience.

I apologize but I just read the intro for new members and general forum rules so I will just introduce myself and take my grow to other thread in the proper space.
So, 52 yrs old IT engineer, had easy access to cheap powerful hash all my life, started smoking this shxx very young, as my tolerance is sky-high I started looking to make my own. So here I am, looking to learn and to share learned lessons, looking to grow enough to provide for own use.
