I totally agree on everything you said there Bro. My wife and I were talking about how involved it really is and here I thought just plunk some seeds in dirt and water.I'M right ahead of you, also on my 1st grow. Mid wk 9 of flower. I Have been keeping up on your experience. Boy what a learning curve, huh !!!!??? I never would've imagined that growing a darn week would be so.....involved/tasking. Anyway, forget about trichs on leaves. Irrelevant from what I've read. Only look at buds themselves. I did buy the handheld scope like you and also got the digital one that uses your phone as the viewing screen. It's more precise at up to 2k times magnification, but difficult to use. Good with "trial bud" on desk, but hard to hold over plant, focus and not knock off phone from scrog "frame". I had to chop one of mine early 'cuzz i prolonged watering one time around 5th wk of flower. All leaves died but i let it go till wk 7 because it was still alive. Got 5 oz. Off it but it's cbd weed (ac/dc). Good to learn on anyway. 1 more of those and a white widow survived. Waiting for some cooper trichs now. It went from almost all clear to almost all white/cloudy in 24-36 hrs. That surprised me ! Your plants look great ! I stRed mine i think, outta fear of burnin' them up. Many lessons learned. Goid luck, you got it made now. Don't chop early, it happens fast ! Now we gotta learn drying and curing !!!! IT'S FUN THOUGH, I AIN'T COMPLAINING !!!
Yes, it's a lot more involved than tossing seeds into the dirt and adding water ... Regardless, it's worth the time and effort.I totally agree on everything you said there Bro. My wife and I were talking about how involved it really is and here I thought just plunk some seeds in dirt and water.
Dang I was hoping to get 4oz per plant, 5 is stellar even under great conditions and you did it in less than great. Nice work!
Indeed it's been fun. I'll be watching you as you finish yours!
Thanks Bro and I have seen your photos which are impressive.I'm far from an expert my friend but maybe someday.
That's a trip. I know these were some lower larfy buds so maybe they will be like yours. I just know I didn't see anything resembling a nanner. I may pop open a couple of the bigger tops tomorrow to see what is inside them before I cure.I had a hermie my last run and tried to pick all the nanners off. It sucks but what can you do? Luckily, I only wound up with a few slightly seeded lower buds but nothing too out of hand.
Looking frosty af!! I’m Forsure gonna check out the roots organics bloom booster too this next ripUpdate- Wednesday 8/18/21
Today marks day one of week 10 of my grow! According to the breeder, the Gorilla Glue #4 finish in 8-9 weeks. Two of the plants finished and were ready 3 days into week 9 but the other two are still going strong and putting on weight. I started a new job so I have not had as much time to document this grow but things are chugging right along.
I harvested the two that were ready and did a wet trim on them. They are hanging with a fan circulating the air. I did not get as much as I had hoped for as far as my estimates, but we'll see when they finish drying and I have had a chance to weigh them up. I am guessing I will get around 2 oz per plant. A bit disappointing mainly because I am making myself a cancer treatment and I need about a pound to make that much RSO. That said, I am pretty pleased for my first grow and now knowing how much goes into cultivating these beautiful flowers.

Anyhow, giving the remainder two plants plain water with some molasses. They don't look to be finishing anytime soon, my guess is they are leaning toward the Sativa side of the hybrid and just going to take a week or two longer. One of them is getting some real nice fall colors, but it also looks like some foxtails forming??? I am not sure but from what I know, that's not a terrible thing. Thoughts?

Thanks Bro and also for all your help and encouragement!Looking frosty af!! I’m Forsure gonna check out the roots organics bloom booster too this next rip
Interesting, yea it would have had to be on one of the lower flowers because the upper flowers I have kept a good eye on. The buds that had seeds are lower buds too, and I did break up one of the upper buds, not a main top, and it was seed free! Once everything is dry I will check a main flower and see what's inside.Probly had nanners few weeks ago and they got engulfed in swollen bud since then. Ive had a few do that with the lower buds. Didn't know till I busted bud up to smoke and the nanners smack dab in the middle.
Still looks awesome tho bud!
Thanks man, means the world to me!Grats on the completion of your grow, my friend. Glad it made some quality meds for you and that the timing worked out.
Also, fuck cancer.
