What do you think? Will she pack on the weight or nah? 26F Gorilla Bomb tops are getting leggy

Hey guys, long time no grow. Just to make things harder for myself I am doing everything completely different than my old methods. Time and these new tricks has made me feel a bit rusty.

Here's a photo of my Gorilla Bomb, in the photo she's at day 26 flowering and 61 from seed.
The main colas on it have stretched out a bit more than the rest of the plants leaving these gaps between the bud sites. My other plants have closer spacing, do you guys think that this bud will be less dense or does she actually have the capability to fill up that top?

Thanks guys, you are my favorite growing community!


 
Thanks for the input, puts my mind a little at ease. I was feeling a bit worried after someone else posted their "3 weeks flowering" photos and the buds looked nearly finished! I think some people don't start counting flowering days until they actually see flowers whereas I start on day 1 of 12/12

Different strains bulk up at different times. Grow style & nutrient profile can also have an effect on how quickly a plant buds up. I've read a few grow reports of gorilla bomb & most have said it's a leggy & stretches a bit.
As long as she is healthy & you're environment is dialled in you are all good.
The 26F in the title. If that was meant to be 26c temp wise you could do with warming the grow space up to at least 27c when growing with led.

haha ah crap that is pretty confusing and cryptic isn't it.
I was trying to imply the 26th day of flowering without making my title too long. My actual environment temp just happens to be 27c though. 27 doesn't even register as an indoor temperature to me in 'murican units.

That's not a bad idea actually, looking at other people's gorilla bomb grow journals, thanks for the tip!

Got 2 fem gorrila bomb vegging .
What kind off light do u use pink blurple?
I use citezen 1212 gen 5 3000k 90cri

I am using ultra cheap pink "full spectrum" COBs as an experiment right now, I don't know if I can personally recommend them over 3000k - 3500k Warm White, which is the gold standard for flowering. Waiting for harvest to determine total effectiveness.

So far that young gorilla bomb plant looks pretty much like mine did, expect major stretching near the end of week 2 flower, at least my popped pheno stretched, kind of annoying but it's filling in nicely.

I feel ya-I have a couple of 'leggy' ladies on this run, Blueberry Cheesecake and Peyote Cookie. After two weeks in flower they are finally starting to fill in.
