Looking good! I finally got my last bunch going but had a 50-50 male/female ratio... and that was using 2 feminized seeds. The other seeds were all male sans one and I have no idea which is which anymore. I had a beutiful sativa that I was sure was a female until it grew a foot in 3 days during the stretch. *sigh* The remaining girls are enjoying the extra room, though.
I know it's been forever since I posted... my health is good, I just didn't have a lot to say and have been shying away from chat groups, etc.
It's good to be back!

May 2nd update, My 2 Gorilla twins are done..I cut, washed and hung yesterday. More amber trich's in the plant I left in the dark for 60 hrs than the one I let have more light. I'm not sure what that is going to mean for taste yet. I was skeptical of the dark period making a difference but there is more blood red trich's / amber than the one I gave 48hrs more light.At least on the samples buds pics I took .
I transplant my 5 of 6 Gorilla clones into 5 gal pots, I still have to take enough cuttings off before I flip. I'd like to give them another week or 2 but it's already going to be July before they're done...Hot, humid & a bad time for big buds to be maturing. No options now though too late I may need a new tool lol...Air conditioner on my equipment list now.
I have 3 more Gorilla's trees to chop but after washing the first 2 plants I got very little debris ( I guess my attempt to improve cleanliness helped) I just trim these cut and hang them.

It smokes and burns better, without a snap crackle pop I've had without washing. My environment isn't sterile ( I wish it was) so dust and other contaminants can end up on my plants..After the last wash of 2 there wasn't a lot of debris so I'm thinking I'll skip washing the last 3....but then again washing has always given me smoother smoke so fk I think I just talked myself into washing the last 3 now.....Gee's thanks....more work to do..Do you generally notice a difference in teaste or anything between the washed and unwashed buds

Seconding the effectiveness of bud washing! I do a triple rinse of room temp water with baking soda, then 115 degree water, then ice water. The first gets the physical contaminants off, the second weakens the cellulose structure in the buds and leaves to pull out chlorophyll, the third ensures that the structure doesn't get more damaged than intended.

I use 500ml peroxide & cold water in the 1st 5 gallon pot.........1 cup baking soda & 1plastic squeeze lemon and warmer water in the second then just cold water in the 3rd.....Dip and shake in the water 8-10 seconds - shake off before re-emerging in the second pot for 8-10 seconds - shake off excess water then dip stir and shake in the water. Then hang to dry with an osculating fan for 2-3 hrs until there is no water dripping off them...then dry normallythanks , just out of curiosity I know guys used different methods of washing mind me asking what do you use in the buckets and at what ratio's Thanks

I just picked it up last year as well, I had bugs ( mites at harvest ) washing cleaned them off, it'll also deals with powdery mildew on the leaves if its not too bad. Once a washer always a washer I've been told and I'll keep washing. It smokes great afterwards.last fall was the first time i ever seen growers washing plants , how long have growers been doing this ? i would be afraid of washing trichomes off in cold water , interesting .

i come from an era and an area where growing in corn fields was a huge thing and no one ever washed. im kind of surprised it didnt become a thing back then, i can understand with mites i had infestation once gross wish i had seen this long agoI just picked it up last year as well, I had bugs ( mites at harvest ) washing cleaned them off, it'll also deals with powdery mildew on the leaves if its not too bad. Once a washer always a washer I've been told and I'll keep washing. It smokes great afterwards.
