I read alot about how to make stems thicker. But mine seem to be very thick even the ones going into the buds. Just wondering if it can be detrimental. I would be pretty pissed if I brought bud with stems this thick in em :shock:
Excuse blurple pics was just lots easier with them on and I figured color dosent really matter for this..

Is it an auto? sometimes the ruderalis gene makes some pretty thick stems ..I also had a lemon headband strain and it had thick stems
Doh I should have said.. it's a photo been on 12/12 for 6 weeks. Strain is gg#4 from seed so as I've been reading probs not a true gg#4

Looks normal from a gorilla preferred grower. They get thick quick.

No it's not the true GG4. The real deal is a clone only strain. But your plants look great. Nothing wrong with thick stems.

Big healthy stems usually grow the biggest buds.
Little buds with big stems would be a bummer. My mains have the largest stems, secondary growth is smaller

Buds seem to be decent. Getting bigger not sure how much more they will stack but it's my first indoor so trail and error.

So will the stems just be massive in the buds after it's cured? Cheers for the reply dude
[/QUOTEIf it is true gorilla stock it will have a moderately thick main stem and dense bud stacking with almost no stem material. You need pure light pictures of the upper leaves and buds to guess. Your pictures lend no help to an identification.

Seems something is wrong with you. You should talk to a professional and sort out whatever your problem is....

People should have to prove than can grow a chia pet before they can be an expert. 30+ yrs and I'm still learning.
