Flodica, AI, and Bubble Gum finishing up

[Tokudai]

Just nearing up on day 50-ish for these beauties. Serious Seeds Bubblegum, DJ Short Flodica, and Nirvana Aurora Indica - gonna be the last harvest for awhile, so I'm just stocking up the medicine cabinet... had to make up for the long running sativas I have going now :) Started flushing a few days ago, I'll likely give em a week or so and let the trichs tell me when

This is the first time I've run the Flodica, doesn't seem to be the highest yielding plant, but it stinks more than all the others combined. Really strong, almost sickeningly sweet catpiss/rotten fruit smell, its overpowering everything in the bloomroom - although the BG never has much of a scent in flower, it seems to come out in the cure. I've run the BG a few times, don't really care for the flavor too much, but it makes great hash and I had a request for it. The AI I've done reviews on, real happy with it for a stony indica.

The last week+ is always the loooooooongest to wait

How does the Aurora Indica compare to the SS bubblegum as far as yeild, ease of growing and high?
Nice plants!!!:D

Heya - thanks for all the nice comments. Wish I could have a sesh with all of ya!

Evertking - AI vs BG, ease of growing is a tie, I never have problems with either. The AI clones way easier and seems to be a bit chunkier, and I would guess will yield a little more - don't really grow for yield though, so its hard for me to say. I can take pics of them side by side tonight when the lights come on. When I pick a pheno for a keeper, taste and potency edge out yield in my process.

Both of them (BG & AI) have a great body high and sedative qualities, but for tops I choose the AI again - the cotton candyish flavor of the BG gets old pretty quick for me, I prefer the hashy kieflike flavor of the AI. The BG is a better functional bud, more up and cerebral - perhaps more sativa in its lineage? The AI I don't like to smoke before noon, burns me out and then its naptime. If you are making hash or cash cropping, the BG is awesome - bag appeal and smell are more "attractive" to most than the stanky AI - you can see how far out the trim leaves the trichs go, so the hash yield is great from BG.

I'm excited about trying the Flodica myself, I have heard a lot about DJ's strains, but the blueberry I tried, well.. lets just say it didn't deserve all the hype I read about it - plus the prices are fairly outrageous, I think Flodica goes for $200-ish for 10 seeds or something stupid like that! I hope it lives up to its billing, but honestly, can it be 10x better than my $15 AI seeds? Or twice as good as the ~$100 BG? It's a clone from a proven mom, so at least I don't have to worry about sorting a pheno..

From the pics the left is the AI, middle is BG, and right is flodica.. In the group shot, BG is to the far left, and flodica to the far right, 2 AI's in the middle. The AIs are in a bit larger pot, but the BG is in a 2.5 gallon, should be adequate for its size. I ran out of trashcans lol

WeedHound - I hope you have the same luck in phenos with your AI as I did! I know a lot of people seem to bash on nirvana cause of price, but even putting price aside, they are one of the better all-around strains I've grown out. Kinda like the C6 Corvette Z06 of the bud world, it destroys a lot of much higher priced and fancier hardware... I'll be watching your posts so treat them well and LMK if I can help with anything!

[Fissle]

make sure you post some pics right before you harvest!

L to R AI, BG, Flo

Closeups L Flo R AI

BG and Flo on day 56, AI on day 53

The AI has a lot knottier, chunky structure/ knotty bud pattern, where the BG and flo are both longer, skinnier pointed-type buds. Sativa heritage? The Flo is much more compact then both of them, not as much branching.

Gonna wait it out a few more days, but the axe is being sharpened...
