Can stems be TOO thick.

Lpt · Feb 24, 2020

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..

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

Nope, thick stems are a good sign. My outdoor stems get thicker than a soda can.

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.

So will the stems just be massive in the buds after it's cured? Cheers for the reply dude

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

Mine is from Amsterdam coffee shop bud to go bag seed. 100% legit. Domestic seeds are not true. Just an FYI.

Just chop off buds from the main stem when you are done drying.

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.

[/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.

Well if it came from a seed, then it's not the original GG4. However it may be pretty close.

I was gonna talk to you in private. But how many grows, strains, years and other plants have you done?

MICHI-CAN · Feb 24, 2020

You boob, and googlies giggles have nothing on down and dirty trials a tribulations over decades mostly resulting in disappointment and wasted time and money. Your not helping anyone parroting the internet.

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.
