Gorilla Glue #4 during vegetative stage
With all the great growth my cannabis plants have been putting on, I figured it would be a good time to grab my camera and get some macro shots while they are still mostly in their vegetative state. During this period of their growth they are putting out leaves and forming strong branches.. As soon the buds will form and they need all the help they can get leaf wise.

One of the plants is further ahead than the rest, it has a nice bud site forming while the others have shown their sex with their pre-flowers. This one appears to be already forming flowers.
The branches below we can see the side branches are working their way up and soon will be within the netting helping to support the buds as they form.
Undersides of leaves is where bugs hide, it is also where the plant breaths from. All looks good.
These are the pre-flowers, these tentacle looking things.
I see many pre-flowers, pretty sure I got all females at this point.
Soon we will see buds form on the others as well I think.
It is good to see all the new leaves "praying" upwards, they like the light.
An extra up close look:
Using my macro lens I can really get close to the leaves and pre-flowers.
Here we can see can see they are females.
A really healthy looking stem too.. I forget they are furry.
Soon we will be seeing many more hairs.
So far two have reached the first level of netting, one of them is about to breach making a third soon. The forth has lots of growth to put on, figured when I switch out the bulb it will stretch more.
Really glad this grow is going better than my last few, the new dirt really made a difference.
Soon they will reach the second level of netting, and then will be time to just raise the grow light until they reach full height.. This tends to happen a month into flowering.
Glad I am getting pictures now, as soon as I switch the bulb it casts a harsh yellow color. The plants love it but makes the pictures look bad.
The next time I will get good pictures is with the tent light off and using a flood light during pictures to get shots.
But for now we have pretty light and I can get pictures using just the grow lights and not extras. Really love this last shot, so green.. so happy.
pure perfection!
It sure is, they seem quite happy.
Wow, it has a really nice Plant, even though I haven't seen it for a few days, but now it has produced branches that look very fertile, I hope it is in accordance with your wishes, friend.❤️
It sure is, been lots of fun growing them.
Hehehe, hopefully you get the results you want as expected my brother ❤️
That’s some solid growth for these plants
I don't know but I can tell they're happy 😂
That last shot is just pure green joy.
I think so too, they have what they need right now.
Looking good!
Sure is
Good afternoon dear friend @solominer
The plants look good, their leaves look healthy, I hope they have good growth and form many buds
Great that everything is going well and the plants are all female, I hope nothing happens in the way of growth
I appreciate you sharing this update on your cannabis plants
Have a great day
Hey there @jlufer
Yeah I think they are really coming along now, looking forward to the buds forming soon.
Hope you have a great day too.
Very significant growth my friend, your cannabis plant this time is really perfect, congratulations on the achievement of your sweat, always a success my friend 💪😊
Ah thanks, I think its doing great this time around too.
Looking beautiful
thank you
Excellent images @solominer, you know I tagged you in my content of the plants in my garden so you can see them, I think you didn't even go through the post.
Cheers crack and very healthy cannabis !!! 😉😉🫡
Ah yeah sometimes I miss other peoples posts, I also forget about peoples comments.. Not the best on my part, it is what it is.
thanks
Great photos. The macro detail really shows the health and beauty of the plants in their vegetative phase. Oh, and it's great to see them growing so strong and green. It will be interesting to see how they develop as they enter the flowering phase.
I do like how green they are looking now.
Cheers feom Venezuela

The greenish color of the leaves of the plant indicates its good condition.
I think so too
How beautiful and interesting, is it legal to grow marijuana in your country? Is this flower banned in our country? In what country do you live?
Yep sure is, I can grow four plants legally.
I live in the United States, in the state of Virginia where it was legalized.
Wow, your cannabis plants have grown big, and I see that your leaves are really very, the color of the leaves is really good, I hope it is fine until I really want see the flowering time later
Me too, looking forward to seeing their buds too.
your shots are cool bro👍 the details are so clear. the plants look healthy and well, hopefully the results will be as expected.
Thanks, yeah they are coming along the way I want them to.
Beautiful photos of a beautiful plant. It really is quite fascinating to watch plants grow day by day. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks very much.. I like them a lot too.
I'm so glad the new soil made a difference and your seedlings are female. You put in a lot of effort. Finally, you got what you wanted, great.
Yeah this new soil by Foxfarm seems really good.. its costly but I think worth it.
So far so good.
Okay now please forgive my ignorance @solominer but I have always wanted to know if all plants can be either male or female or just some, I have never really done my research here. But in this post you say that judging from the pre-flowers you think you have got all female plants, what is it about those flowers that confirm the sex of the plant?
Can I ask once the plants have provided the 'fruit' what will you do with the cannabis, or is that a silly question? Do you mix up anything for medicinal purposes or not?
All of these plants are looking very healthy by the way, very vibrant looking at this stage.

At the point the plant starts producing pre-flowers. I can tell if they are males based on them having more bell shaped formations. But with females you get more long stringy appendages.
There we can see how they look different.
Once I grow the buds I will harvest them, dry them and then cure them. Which takes around three months in time. After that I can smoke them, vape them or cook with them. I can make a really strong canna-butter with the buds or even from the trimmings.
This is some of the healthiest cannabis I've ever seen. Great work bro, lookin' good.
Thanks man, I think the fox farm soil is really helping.
