You obviously never grew Gorilla Glue #4
the buds are like rocks
No strain in the world can create rock Hard
Wrong time of day, another 8 hours of dark , I rarely put my grow on-line
But trust me it isn't my skill that makes that cut do that
Maybe you over exaggerating with the 'rock hard' part.. It's not possible that the bud will be so hard even if it's the most dense dank strain there is.. If it hasn't been squashed there is still somewhat of a squishy Ness

Other than the first Pic.. They look like they starting to foxtail.. Maybe harvest time has past.. Is this the infamous rock hard gorilla?

starting to foxtail? lol gg4 foxtails like a mofo, its the nature of the beast. harvested at the first sign of any amber trichomes (9 wks). its up in the tops are far as density that ive grown but not as dense or "rock hard" as PGR buds.

You seem doubtful ? If it makes you feel better , while they really are like stones, they are tiny in size
My cut hasn't fox tailed on me but it might be environment

I don’t squeeze , smash or do unnecessary shit. Pics don’t make the buds better or fire.

Genetics play more into it. I’ve had different buds depending on grow .
Small nugs , big colas , spear shaped , chunk , even fox tailed. Meant nothing.

Especially if it’s for your consumption..... why trim picture perfect if you are gonna be the one blazing it ? If you squeeze or compress , you destroy triches.

Had “ hard “ nugs but really don’t give it much thought ..... other than deeper terp smells when you crack that bitch open.

OP you’re looking at vacum sealed nugs I struggled with that too when I first started. The bugs are squashed you can grownsuper dense rock hard nugs but they won’t look like that unless u a vacum seal them

Agree 100%. That’s one thing I wish I learned earlier. Don’t waste too much time trimming cause it’s still gonna be just as good.

Thank you for the response. I want a nug that looks tighter. The pictures below look real tight. They aren’t mine. I’m wondering if some people are squeezing them. When my bud comes out of drying they don’t have that pretty tight look like the dispensaries have.
Those buds aren't dense from vacuum seal, anyone who says that's what makes them dense has never grown hard bud.
I've never been in a dispensary that stores their bud in vacuum sealed bags, and if they did it wouldn't be to increase density.
Vacuum sealing is for long term storage, or transportation.
It adds density, but it also makes the buds look flat/squished...

You can get that look by curing lots of bud close compact in jar (not compressed or squashed)

Those buds are just packet closely in a jar.. Are you sure they are rock hard.. Cause rock hard is not good.. Is it very crispy too? Yum.. Lol jokes aside I know density and its never that hard.. I've broken cheap scissors on bud before bud it's wasn't like a stone.. Just very dense and sticky

Rock hard? I can't press Sap out of rocks. I said hard bud, Not ROCK hard:wall:
Curing in a jar is not like being squished flat by a vacuum sealer:dunce:

I said rock hard, maybe it is just semantics
At any rate I apologize if it caused confusion but for some reason you seem to be looking more for confrontation than help ...so I will steer clear

No totally opposite mate.. Just trying to use my years of experience to remove the stigma from people's minds.. Nothing said here is intended to be personal, just debate about the truth
