@Humpie 91 grams of bud taken down to the bone (ie no twigs) so far from the top 4-6 inches of each cola, plants on the top shelf under the quantum boards. I will post total for the top shelf once it's all harvested and dry. Seems to be heading in the right direction. Next run should be better once running all strips and the quantum boards get removed. I maxed out what the plants could take at 300 watts.

One of the phenotypes is more sativa dominant with bud formation, the other is as indica as it gets fat solid nugs, both phenotypes actual plant structure is pretty uniform, branching etc. They can handle the weight of their buds if trained from the start. The more sativa looking buds have a real nice sweet smell with some fuel. The more indica buds now have a pine and strong diesel smell to them and are smooth to smoke with a throat hit of diesel and maybe a little spicy. Will no for sure once they get a proper cure but either way Dinafem have a fine hybrid with this.
Just popped some Dinafem Purps#1 and Remo Chemo to veg up for next years mayhem.

Dinafem Gorilla Day 72 Chop Day

I though I better take a few images of the last girl from the top shelf before them pesky scissors finished their job. As said in earlier post the tops had already been cut dried and deboned. So I just give the middle and lower buds a few more days to fill out and that they have and or now being chopped up. As you will be able to see in the photos below what is left on the plant is good solid nugs and should dry rock solid like the tops have. I think the next grow I may let them go longer maybe 80 days to get the purple colour and more amber trichomes.

So that will be the end of the diary for the top shelf girls, what I have learned this grow I will apply to the next and get a smoother run.

The sog plants are not ready yet and may just let them go to 80 days for a more knockout narcotic effect for a bedtime smoke when the muscles spasm etc go mad all night. I will update the sog plants progress and take some more pics as they ripen up.

Thanks to all that have followed the diary, and have commented and enjoyed the ride.

So here is the pics.

Dinafem - Gorilla Sog Plants Tops Harvested And Trimmed

During lights on last night I spotted a suspect bud in the back right corner of the grow cab, so pulled the plant out and bang top buds have got mold. Not really a big surprise as the corner has very little air circulation. So I have chopped off the tops first 2-4 inches just to be on the safe side. Trimmed them this morning and glad to say they are not infected. I will look into sorting better airflow in that corner when harvest is complete and before next grow. The tops I have taken are hard as bricks and feel like little grenades. Some pics below.

Well it's time to update the final harvest from this grow and I am a happy camper with 28.3 ounces of solid nugs covered in frost, a couple a ounces of larf not included in total. Best yield came from the Samsung strips using 285 watts from start to finish and using 285-300 watts on the quantums, the quantums needed turned down as they where just a little to powerful at the distance to the canopy. There is certainly more to be gained in this cab once I have all Samsung Strip Lights installed and a little more juice to play with.
It's been fun and thanks to all that gave advise and those that followed along with interest to see how this turned. Big thanks to @diyleduk for letting me test out the Samsung Strips and show what can be done with them in a low height grow space.

That's this diary closed.
Cheers

Wats up @zypheruk , I've got the RQS version of the Gorrilla.
Done from seed. I'm on my 3rd run of it now.
Strong as feck smoke and low odour... compared to some other stains ive done
Good for a stealth grow :D
Loving yer OCD scrog, as per.
Hope this latest run goes well for ya.
For a low height grow I can highly recommend the Sensi Star, I've one pheno that's a short squat plant that produces loads.
The Gorrilla on the other hand needs taming! Lol
what are the most stinky and whats the strongest you have grown from seed ?
