Here’s a flower off of Royal Gorilla. Those Gorilla glue genetics certainly showed through in trimming. Did that thing where you push your fingers together and the skin stretches before they pop apart. Note a strong gassy smell.
Here’s a Fruit Spirit nug. Looks similar but definitely didn’t glue the fingers as powerfully as the above. Had a vaguely fruity aroma.
I also did a couple unruly buds from Mother Gorilla. Wasn’t a lot but she was already gluing the fingers like her cousin. Kind of a musky note if I recall correctly. Will double check that on the more comprehensive trim.
Still have a substantial amount of Fruit Spirit and almost all of Mother Gorilla to go. Trimming is rough but making progress!
My being busy lately actually makes Cookies Gelato straggling a nice hiccup. Spreads out the neverending trim phase without anyone getting too overripe.
One day, I will be a very very happy owner of a trim machine. 
It’s nice handling the pretty flowers and I love me some scissor hash but omg, so many hours get sunk into this phase.

As promised, here’s a pic of cookies gelato to go with the others
3/25/25
It’s been a busy morning so I forgot pictures but this part isn’t crazy exciting as far as pictures go anyway.
Cleaned the tent and all the implements.
Readied next grow soil.
Used a large bag of ocean forest and a tiny bit I had left over in another bag. It was bigger than 12qt, so maybe 1.5 cubic feet? Felt like 30-40 pounds so that’s probably it.
Also used 1 - 8oz bag perlite, 2 - 8 oz bags peat moss. Mixed all that together. (in 4 pots) Then dug out a V and topped them with 12 qt happy frog.
This all leveled off nicely at the top of the 4 - 5 gallon fabric pots.
I then scooped out a V of the happy frog and filled little 8oz (I think) plastic cups I had earlier stabbed a bunch of times with a pin in the bottoms.
The cup was then nestled into the V I dug out and they were all brought in to their spots and trays in the tent.
Next, germination!
This round we are running 4 cultivars again!

Each seed was processed like last time. 1/4 of a half paper towel, folded, wet, wrung and then seed folded up inside. After that, into a paint cup. I labeled all the cups and put them into a light proof container and into the tent to germinate.
Soon we’ll have things kicked off!

Inside 24 hours and Sour Diesel started to pop! She’s in the soil and we await the others!
It also occurred to me that I left out a fair amount of info.
Harvest went as well as it could. Cookies Gelato was just crossing the finish line come that weekend.
No signs of mold or anything from harvest or drying. Everything has begun curing now.
There was apparently a brand new invasion of mealybugs. Spotted a couple on stems but only 1 bud had an infestation. Seems like they arrived just in time to be removed. Lucky break I suppose as long as the buggers don’t crop up anywhere. So far so good.
Yield seems similar to last time. I’m thinking I might’ve overtrained considering they’re only in 5 gallon pots so I think I’ll try 8 tops this time and see how it goes. If not a greater yield it’ll grow a bit faster so I’m optimistic.
In any case I’m sure we’ll get a pleasant bunch of flowers by the end.

Checked before work and Chocolate Haze has popped! She’s now in the soil.
No action out of Durban Poison yet but it looked like Girl Scout Cookies Extreme was starting to crack open. Expecting to have her popped and sown by the time I’m back home from work!

As expected, GSCE is sown now.
Moistened Durban Poison a bit more. Now we wait for her to pop and everyone else to break ground.

Durban Poison popped yesterday.
She’s been sown and we await her rise!
All 3 of the others have officially broken ground though!

Still rocking the humidity domes for the moment.
I sampled Royal Gorilla a few minutes ago too!
Taste is still kinda planty so curing continues. Effects are very clear, uplifting, kinda mellow but not couch locked at all.
I like it, all the good without the impediments of heavier strains. A very good cultivar for when one is active.

It’s been around a week since our last girl popped and everyone is above ground!
Chocolate Haze is doing well.
GSC Extreme looked like she fell over some and righted her top already. I stood her back up.
Sour Diesel is still leading the charge in growth.
Durban Poison is still small but she’s working on it! Ironic she has potential to be the biggest soon.
Temp is in the mid - high 70s. Humidity hovering at 50%. I give water around the edges of the cups then I mist the soil around the cup in the pot. Also mist the sides of the pots, in the now unused humidity cups and some on the floor. Also running humidifier on it’s gentler setting.
All of this to raise the humidity for at least the early part of their day. They seem good with that.
Eagerly awaiting transplant.
Mykos at the ready. Maybe next week or so I’ll give them a heavier watering with some fish sh!t or great white.
Pre humidifying and watering.

3 days later and a wild hair snuck up on me! Got me the way they do. 
The three bigger plants have been transplanted!
It was… Not my best work but I don’t think anyone got hurt. Perhaps a bit disheveled is all.

Durban Poison still chilling in her cup for now but was more root growth than I expected.
Mixed Mykos into the transplant site and watered a bit more than usual. May give them more later depending on how they act.
Expecting light transplant shock. However I don’t want to over water them before they anchor themselves into their new holes. I’ll play it by ear.
Misting conditions and water administration for Durban Poison are unchanged.

Transplants 1-3 we’re successful! No one looks particularly perturbed!
Now we’re just waiting for little Ms. Durban Poison to catch up and another set of two of leaves on the others to begin training!

Last weekend I transplanted Durban Poison(wlmykos ofc) and topped the other 3. I then promptly forgot to do my update.
Everyone is looking great!

I’m now splitting a gallon of PH’d water between them every 3 days or so. I’m pretty sure they’re big enough to be less dainty and they seem to be responding well.
I forgot to add Fish Sh!t so I put it next to the pH adjusters. Hopefully remember next time. I’d like to alternate Fish Sh!t and Great white while they’re eating the soil.
Then I’ll probably stop with them when we start doing foods and such.
In other news, here’s notes on the previous harvest’s yield!
Royal Gorilla - Clear, uplifting, a little giddy. Not heavy on body. Could be mistaken for weak if not for a notable rise. Great one if doing stuff and need to stay sharp.
Mother Gorilla - Pleasant mental stone. Relaxing mentally, slight giddyness. Mellow body not couch locked. Took a few minutes to set in. Nice to chill out mentally without getting too weighed down.
Cookies Gelato - Sweet with a gassy darkness. Spacey, uplifting mentally. Relaxing and fuzzy physically. Probably could couchlock with enough. Therapeutic for the body. Great for relaxing.
Fruit Spirit - Mild earthy spice with a touch of fruityness. Balanced effects. Head has a good rise, typical of most herbs. Can feel shoulders relax a bit. Could probably inspire couchlock but isn’t after a couple puffs. Stone feels more cloudy than heavy but there is a weight to it. Probably a very ‘stoned’ high with more. Another great one to relax with.
