Bubblelicious and Blueberry first grow

[bombdiggity]

Quick summary - so I dont ramble too much.

Ordered 10 bubblelicious seeds from Nirvana - and 1 (haha) feminised blueberry seed. Bubblelicious seeds germinated on 3/20, and the blueberry germed 3/29. Using scotts seed starter mix in small pots for now, the Blueberry is in the party cup.

I'm gonna try to add some pics, we'll see if they show up.

Do you guys notice a weird greyish color or am I just freaking out???

I should add that I'm using a T5 setup with 10,000 lumens, and its about 3-4" from the plants. Temps are about 82-85 degrees, and I'm on 24/0. I'll post some pics of my setup here in a couple minutes.

[stinkyattic]

Try to get your temps down about 5 degrees if you can. That greying might be strain related. The plants in the orange pots look great so far. Nice carpet. I had the same stuff in my living room, but in 'harvest gold'. :D Mmmm 70s textured short shag... mmm

[bombdiggity]

Here's my growbox. Its kinda ghetto for now, I've already dumped a lot of money into it, and I'm kinda tapped out for the moment.

I have panda film or whatever u call it lining the inside of the box. The larger fan is my exhaust and the smaller fan mounted outside the box is my intake. And yes, there's only 3 screws holding it in instead of 4. I also have that little metal fan that I bought from target for 7 bucks thats blowing on the plants. The back of that fan feels warm though, and I'm suspicious that its just adding more heat. Any thoughts?

And also - my girlfriend and I still have some of our clothes in the closet, so dont mind the high heels and pink robes - I swear I'm not a cross-dresser :D :D

Yeah, I'm brainstorming on the temps. During the day though, when I run my A/C unit that is in the living room and leave the closet doors open the temps stay below 82. At night though it seems to be warmer because I can't really justify running my A/C 24/7.

Yeah, gotta love the carpet. My apartment is all about the 70's. Thats LA county for ya, everything is so old!

[bombdiggity]

oh and thanks for stopping by my log stinky, just having someone who knows what they're doing checkin my shit out makes me feel soooo much better.

[daihashi]

is it possible to put a fan as big as your exhaust or slightly smaller?(flowing as many cfm's as your exhaust fan... Not anything higher though).

You could probably lower your temps if you equalized the air flow in this particular situation since your grow space is kind of small.

Good luck.

:thumbsup:

[bombdiggity]

Maybe, I'm not sure though. Do you think adding a passive intake would help?

Thanks for stoppin by

[daihashi]

well you already have an intake.. I think adding another fan or equalizing the air flow would help.

How big is the exhaust fan? Do you have a pic of it?

[bombdiggity]

pic one is the exhaust

pic two is the intake, which is mounted outside the box.

pic three is a view of the intake fan from outside the box.

Exhaust fan measures 4 1/2", intake fan is 3 1/4"

not sure of the cfm rating on the exhaust

intake is rated at 31CFM.

The 70's were awesome. I wish I hadn't of been zero years old and caught more than the last few months tail end of it.. lol

I'm all about 70's stuff too.. really all retro stuff.

[daihashi]

the exhaust fan is on the left wall of the box, you can kinda see it in one of the pictures.

Exhaust fan measures 4 1/2", intake fan is 3 1/4"

not sure of the cfm rating on the exhaust

intake is rated at 31CFM.

That looks like a 120mm computer fan. Probably anywhere from 91-141cfm.

Look up Honeywell Turbo fan. I'd say it's about 9" in diameter but would probably work well in your room for both intake/exhaust.. and fully adjustable.

If you can find a smaller similar fan then those would probably be better for your particular space. Something more like 7" or so.

[bombdiggity]

blah. thanks alot for your advice but I really dont think I'm ready to modify the box that much, again. I think I'm going to order another intake fan, same one that I have and just put it right next to it.

Also I never completely cut out my hole for the intake, so I'll go do that now and maybe it'll help a little

temps are 81.7 right now, but I guess thats just cuz its early and still cool in my apartment.

[stinkyattic]

If your intake fan is not moving as much air as the exhaust, it's REDUCING efficiency. You'd be better off using BOTH fans in your exhaust and opening the intake to make it passive, while still allowing no light leaks.

I dig the retro stuff big time. My living room is all done up in Tiki Lounge Stylee. It's crap-tacular.

Just wanted to add for the no light leaks... you can get louvered vents from home depot that are perfect for helping to block light leaks from outside the cabinet.

I have alot of authentic Mid Century Modern stuff in my place. Talk about expensive. That stuff really get's pricey, but I love the way it looks. I feel like my house should feel like I'm on vacation when I come inside from a long day at the office. So I spare no expense (within my means) on retro stuff.

It makes me feel warm and happy inside. I think I was born in the wrong era :hippy:

[bombdiggity]

Just to make sure you mean to turn my intake fan around and use it as exhaust as well as my current exhaust fan? if I do that how big would my intake hole have to be for that to work?

I've got a couple lamps and a very sweet daybed, but not enough to do an entire room quite yet. That's coming one of these days. Especially since IKEA knockoffs can fill in the missing pieces until I scavenge some real stuff. My attorney has a SICK collection at his office including some Saarinen pieces... lol... he's kinda hot too. Makes the business at hand less depressing.
You gotta post up pics. All mine is in storage until I finish renovating my house :(

That's a good question for someone who paid attention in physics class, lol. The key is to minimize how restrictive of air flow it is. You could just lose the active intake fan entirely and see if your temps stay in range with just the hole. The body of the fan itself blocks air flow.

[bombdiggity]

Yeah, i just recently put that active fan in, and originally had a passive intake. If you look right next to my intake fan you see a little patch of black plastic, thats where I covered up my previous passive intake.

So, should I just uncover that hole and keep my intake fan?

Sorry if I'm having trouble understanding this - but I assure you I'm trying to hardest :thumbsup:

My camera is sort've on the fritz (I dropped it. I'm horrible with handling digi's. Never let me handle a camera or it'll be it's doom)

I'll get some pic links of what I have and post it up in a thread in cannabis lounge (so we don't whore this guys thread) for you just so you can check out some pieces I've bought over time.

Luckily for me I live in a very "indie" part of town and there are so many thrift shops I can go to. Some of the stuff I've bought is fully restored and some of it was done by me (very shoddily).

I wish my attorney was a hot female. Instead my attorney looks like he could be a stunt double for Gimili from Lord of the rings, but my god he's an amazing lawyer. A good lawyer is worth his weight in gold, unfortunately for me my lawyer is very heavy. ;)

[bombdiggity]

Big changes to the grow box!!

Transplanted the 4 older plants (bubblelicious) to new larger pots, with new soil (a mix that my hydro store makes), and FoxFarm Grow Big 6-4-4. Transplanting was such a pain in the ass, I wish I had just planted in these pots to begin with.

So I gave them 1/2 tsp / gallon at time of transplant, because I have no rooting hormone or superthrive like suggested in the threads I read. Hopefully this is okay. Any thoughts?

Here are some pics about 2 hours after transplant. I coated the top of the soil with perlite for light reflection and moisture control. They seem to be pretty happy for now, except for one of them.

[bombdiggity]

So i came home from work today and noticed that the perlite that I have layering the top of the soil looks like its turning yellowish. Is this normal? Maybe its from the nutes?

I liked the nice clean-white finish it had :(

[the image reaper]

you're doing well, stay on top of it ... lay off the nutes for a few days, when you transplant, and don't water as much ... that will encourage the roots to seek out moisture and food, (plus, some nutrients slow rooting, in favor of other needs) ... looks like you keep a nice clean area, too (not like my usual mess) jealousy :D

[bombdiggity]

thx man - yeah i think i jumped the gun a bit on the nutes but i only gave them 1/2 tsp to the gallon and I used half a gallon for 4 plants. Here's a couple pictures :D

PS. Thanks for understanding the rep situation


Pic 1) Some kush I picked up last night
2) My normal after work routine :)
3) Updated pic of plant after transplant.. looks the same
4) Perlite discoloration?

[daihashi]

4) Perlite discoloration?

It's getting stained from the soil. It's common for perlite to turn yellow, orange, or brown. :thumbsup:

[bombdiggity]

phew! haha im such a noob :)

[stinkyattic]

Perlite can get algae on it too but that's also nothing to really worry about. Your plants look great. Transplanting may be a pain, but you get enough benefits from 'refreshing' the soil every month or 2 to make it totally worthwhile- read the thread in the FAQs for more info.

Daihashi, you made my sig. lol. Attorney worth his weight in gold. heh heh.

[bombdiggity]

Is it a bad idea to wait for the plant to show me that it needs water before I actually water it? I plan on giving it just water with no nutes for the next 2 times, and then starting again with the GrowBig.

[bombdiggity]

Got a quick update for anyone who cares

I've got 3 healthy plants, and 1 thats got yellowing on the bottom leaves.. but other than that its healthy. The upper leaves on the plant are fine, but the lower ones are yellowing and kinda crispy feeling. I gave them just water since the last post, I think I've watered twice. Do you guys think its time to throw in some nutes? I have GrowBig.

Here's some pics.

[daihashi]

No give the plants at least 3-4 weeks or until alternating nodes appear. Which ever happens first :thumbsup:

[bombdiggity]

hmmm well in that case maybe I would just wait till flower to give them nutes.. I want to keep them short so I was going to flower as early as possible.

[bombdiggity]

Plants are starting to smell already. Shit!

Started nutes today. Gonna feed with GrowBig every 2/3 feedings with 1/3 being straight water. I've read that some people use the GrowBig along with the BigBloom and TigerBloom even during veg, is this correct? If so I might go to my hydro store and pick up the bloom parts.

[bombdiggity]

just some pictures of the new growth. check it out. let me know what u think.

[bombdiggity]

more pics

[bombdiggity]

I know I'm being OCD about this, but look at what a difference 12 hours makes!

[bombdiggity]

Should I fill the pots the rest of the way with perlite, since it has compacted since I transplanted? I originally had them filled almost to the brim, but I guess from watering the soil has sunk down a bit. Will roots grow into the perlite?

[bombdiggity]

Back for another daily update. Seems like nobody is watching my grow - maybe I should talk to the mods to try to get it moved to the grow log section. Is this possible?

:yeahright:

Anyway, here's some pics. I started full strength grow big this morning, and tonight it is looking like they are loving it!

Pics 1-5: Bubblelicious at day 20-ish of veg (maybe wrong)
Pics 6 & 7: Blueberry at day 11-ish

[bombdiggity]

feminised blueberry (9 days behind the BL)

[bombdiggity]

Well here we are, another day, another update. I'd say they grew about 4 inches while I was at work LOL.

[hydrocannabis]

I know how U feelen about noone commenting on UR grow.

I would have commented by now but I just saw this grow log.

anyway I think U R doing a great job for sure.
looks like a nice setup U have there.

looking forword on seeing UR plants flower some nice buds.

heres to good luck bro.

[BBoyShotty]

^^
ditto.
Im curious how itll turn out, because i too am starting my first grow soon (also bubblicious). I just got to wait until im finished moving into my new place.

cheers.
keep us updated

[bombdiggity]

Great! Thanks to whoever moved my thread, and thanks for the comments guys! I'll post some pictures tomorrow, I did a FIM today (haha) chopped off a branch accidentally. I left the other 3 alone. I also transplanted the blueberry seedling. Hopefully I can finish the plants in these pots, the hydro store guy said I should be able to but he did mention something about having to adjust nutes to compensate for the rootbound.

[sublime27]

Great looking setup, plants look healthy. I just finished a single fem blueberry not too long ago, turned out great. Not a hundred percent bean free but a great smoke, and heavy high. Keep it up!
:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks sublime! I'm looking forward to 12/12 switch. Coming pretty soon, just gotta wait for the BB to catch up to the BL.

:D

[bombdiggity]

Got some new pics. The youngest plant is blueberry, older 4 are bubblelicious.

[bombdiggity]

blueberry has yellow bottom leaves and weird spots, anyone know whats going on? see pics below :( :( :(

[Shovelhandle]

I might guess that the Blueberry requires less nutes, that's what little I've read about it.
I've grown lots of Bubblegum (Bubblicious) and that strain can take pretty strong nutes (although, I reached that point with my present grow, including the yellowing leaves. I flushed the pots and continued without the strong nutes, the plants came right back.
I am going to try and get some Blueberry seeds for my next grow.

Bombdiggity, I used bubblelicious seeds from Nirvana aswell for my 1st grow a while ago.. Really nice plant to grow. I got 5 fems out of 10 which was pretty good.. She's a lovely light green colour and get real frosty..:D

Only down part about it is the smell is real strong, so Id get a good ventalation set up..

Apart from that its all good, especially the smoke and taste...

Good luck :thumbsup:

thanks Shovel! As far as the Blueberry goes, I have given it 0 nutes, and as far as I know the soil I have does not have any added nutes either. Not sure whats goin on there, but I did transplant a few days ago so maybe its still recovering from that.

Thanks for stopping by and giving advice! Dont be stranger :pimp:

Uh-oh strong smell! I'm going to be getting a carbon scrubber and hang it in my closet above the cab. SO it wont be built into the ventilation system, but should still keep it under control.

I can't wait flower these bitches!

[smok3y]

yeah defo get some thing for the smell, cause when they start to flower the smell get stronger.. I never had a decent vent set up and the whole house stank like fck..lol..

Forgot to mention, your plant are lookin real good man.. Ill bookmark this and keep watchin...:thumbsup:

:jointsmile:

[fenderninja]

wow plants are lookin great, consider me subscribed!

[bombdiggity]

sweet thanks guys! I feel so loved over here in the grow log section :)

blueberry still isnt doing shit. I'm just gonna stop frettin on it and let it do its thing. We'll see what happens.

LST starting in the next couple of days, I waited a little longer than I wanted to before starting it. Can I continue to do LST early into flowering or will that create too much stress?

[Shovelhandle]

Bomb is the trainer. So however you picture how your plant should look dictates how you train it. As the plant flowers you will want to continue to train the plant to expose the maximum foliage to the light source.

[Cede2Weed]

Looking great :thumbsup:

subscribed

From everything I have read on scrogging, training continues well into flowering. Hopefully someone will confirm this.

[bombdiggity]

alright I took the plunge and tied em down. I'll take pics later tonight. Also I fed them 1 1/4tsp of growbig after learning that this strain can handle heavy feeding.

Thanks for the input guys, glad to have you on board. Lets see how this goes :)

[bombdiggity]

pics 3 hours or so after LST. The leaves have already turned back up towards the light. Amazing!

[Cede2Weed]

They look great to me. Can't wait to see them in a few days. :thumbsup:

[hudson88]

Looking real nice!

[bombdiggity]

Really quick update before work. Just some pictures. Plants are responding really well to the LST, I tried to capture the main stem in some of the photos.

Blueberry is slowly progressing, with almost dead bottom leaves and healthy new growth (?)

[bombdiggity]

just a couple more pics

[daihashi]

plants are looking great. How many days old are they now?

[bombdiggity]

plants are looking great. How many days old are they now?

Thanks! They germed on 3/20 I think, not sure how many days it is. About 3 weeks ~21days. I'll start counting days when I go into flower :D

[Cede2Weed]

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[smok3y]

Looking sweet man...

Did u manage to get some thing sorted for the smell?

[bombdiggity]

I'm going to be ordering a carbon scrubber from HTG like next week or the week after - but definetly before flower!

Here's an update, I'll post one with a view of the main stem on my best LST subject. Shits CRAZY how much developement takes place as soon as you start tying them down.

[LiGhT420]

nice plants man goodluck with your grow im a first time grower im about to make a grow log to nice log by tha way to :thumbsup:

[hydrocannabis]

damm they look real nice.

[bombdiggity]

damm they look real nice.

why thank you! i'm almost scared because things are going so smoothly for me on my first grow. I guess its still early but I feel blessed that I'm not dealing with very many problems lately.

I re-did my passive intake. I used 4" duct, about 24" of it and snaked it in a S shape to trap light. I think I still might have to cover it with panda film, gonna have to wait till tonight to see if its actually light proof. The good news is though this lowered my temps to 76-77 with my room temp being 75.5. I'm fuckin stoked about that and now I can get my lights much closer to my plants. Temps were about 82-86 before.

Now I just need to figure out a way to lightproof my exhaust, which is just a computer fan and I think its slightly larger than 4". I might just try attaching the duct to the outside of my box around the fan - centered as much as possible and see how it goes. So right now other than my duct my box is 98% air tight.

YES! :D:D:D:D:D

(Will post pics late tonight my girlfriend has the cam right now)

[bombdiggity]

Well I managed to duct tape my exhaust duct to the outside of the computer fan, and my temps are still below 80 so all is well! I'm concerned though, because a little bit of light can be seen coming out of the ducts, both the intake and the exhaust - I even have it bent in 2 90' angles. Any suggestions??

:question:

[bombdiggity]

Well, I took some pics like 5 min ago. First couple are of what looks to me to be pistils.. Can someone confirm this?
Other pictures are of the Blueberry showing great new growth, with a very bright green color, and my new cab modifications that I did today.

Someone please check those pistils for me I'm noob

[bombdiggity]

few more pics.. i know the exhaust needs work but I have it temporarily functional.

[bombdiggity]

okay last post tonight.. this is what i've got for 4/20. Its LA Confidential. Its pretty tastey and smells great, the high is low key and mellow though. Not really my style but its still great.

Hey, plants look great. Looks to me like it's not showing sex yet and shouldn't until you induce flowering (12/12). I have some plants that are about a week older and I'll try to post some pics to give you an idea of what to look for.:thumbsup:

[bombdiggity]

ah I thought preflowers could show up in veg. thanks for clearing that up for me

[SnSstealth]

i always wait to flower till i see pre-flowers....look for a little ball/hershey kiss shaped thing where your branches go off the main stem...while you may not get actual sex, you will get pre-flowers in veg...I never call a sex till i see pistils, or nuts, and sometimes females will look like males when you only have a few on there.
so wait for white hairs (pistils) coming out of the hershey kiss(calyx) or a little grape looking cluster (nuts, balls,...dude)
good luck!

lol okay I'll wait till 12/12 before I start worrying about it. Thanks for stopping by and helping guys!

[bombdiggity]

Well I'm going away for 3 days for a b-day trip with my girlfriend. We're gonna go see the kottonmouth kings show tomorrow (4/20) and we have a hotel room near the show. Gonna be so fun!!!! I'm gonna raise my light up a couple inches and tie them down real good to make sure they dont grow into the light while I'm gone. A heavy feeding right before we leave and they should be good to go.

[fenderninja]

oh boy, theyre gonna have so damn much fun now that your gone.

Theyll invite a bunch of other plants over and the housell be fucked when you get back... empty nute bottles, soil on the walls...

[bombdiggity]

thats so going in my sig

Thanks WT! Its crazy how that main stem grew horizontal like that. It seems like thats as long as the main stem will get, where I topped it its now just splitting into 2-3 smaller stems. I'm starting to run out of places / ways to tie down all these new "main" stems. I feel like the plant is suffocating itself!


Hot diggity, Bomb! Perhaps we should all go away from our grows for a few days. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Yes, Perhaps! ;)

[hudson88]

Them plants are looking pretty damn sweet
Great job bomb, keep it up!

[bombdiggity]

well I took a bunch of pictures.. plants are lookin great to me. I tossed one of the bubblelicous because honestly I was running out of room. I need to hurry and flower these so I can toss out the males. I think I can fit 2 flowering plants in this thing. Anyway here's the pics. I took And underside and overhead pic of each plant, too stoned to label them all. Peace! :rastasmoke:

here's what i'm smokin on now.. i like taking pictures lol

[bombdiggity]

Ordered a carbon scrubber, 8"x8" square pots (3), and "Age Old Liquid Bloom" (1qt). Has anyone ever used Age Old products before?

Flowering shall begin as soon as I receive these items.

Also, do I start feeding bloom ferts the same day I switch to 12/12 or am I suppose to wait a while?

Thanks guys :D

[hudson88]

Hey bomb I use bio bizz so I don't know if you're supposed to use age old any different but I use grow in veg and flower and start with bloom the day I switch to 12/12

Nice looking buds btw, what is that stuff?

[bombdiggity]

thanks man, that is some strain of kush from la county.

[bombdiggity]

Okay, last night was the first night of darkness for my babies. I now only have 2 bubblelicious and 1 blueberry due to the plants outgrowing that space. They are giant bushes now. I will have pics later today, the lights are about to turn on any minute now.

[bombdiggity]

Day 2 12/12 Pictures

Plants look great - I'm seeing ball like formations though with a couple hairs growing out. I took a few close up pics of that.

[bombdiggity]

blueberry pics. plant is streching a bit, I will LST probably tomorrow. this one came from a feminised seed so does that mean its going to be female for sure?

[bombdiggity]

should i cut off yellowed dead looking leaves at the bottom?

someone chime in please!!!

[Shovelhandle]

<G> If you'd like to cut them off, leave a little bit on the stem rather than ripping the leaf from the branch. Or, wait until it falls and pick it up. <G>

Shov

[bombdiggity]

ah shit i took the whole stem already haha. it came off real easy though, almost like it was about to come off anyway.

hopefully i didnt add too much stress.

thanks for stopping by :D

i always tug lightly on a leaf that looks dead/dying..if i gives easy, it wont stress the plant, it was on its way off anyway..if it resists, leave it till it comes off easy...IMHO
lookin good other wise! get that girl sideways!

[bombdiggity]

yea i actually LST'd the blueberry last night I'll take pics and put them up here in like 10min.

[bombdiggity]

here are some pics. i took a few closeups of what i hope to be sex starting to show.

[bombdiggity]

here is the closeup.. the other ones i took didn't really come out well.

[bombdiggity]

i snapped a pic of my new box setup. I have panda velcro'd to the front to cover light there, and i also have the exhaust and intake duct installed.

[bombdiggity]

day 5 12/12.. still trying to determine sex

[bombdiggity]

day 5 continued. (better pics hopefully)

i'm 75% sure that I see pistils. but i need a 2nd 3rd and 4th opinion :)

[greenatik]

looks female to me :thumbsup:

nice lst-ing by the way, looks great

here's a pic of an outdoor completely horizontal lst im doing right now, hope you don't mind me sharing this :jointsmile::jointsmile:

[attachment=o187517]

thanks greenatik! That LST u have looks nice too, I wish I had started that way I need more vertical clearance in my grow. My main stem is FIM'd so I could only keep it growing horizontal till the end of the main stem, then it just starts branching off everywhere like crazy.

I'm so fucking glad that I have atleast 1 female bubblelicious. I was really afraid that when I threw those other 3 out that it was quite possible I was throwing my only females out. The blueberry is feminised so I shouldn't have to worry about that one - but its not quite mature enough to show sex yet so we shall see.

Thanks for stopping by, and sharing your pics. Sharing is always welcome here - especially if its some bud cuz I am fucking OUT! yikes!

[bombdiggity]

No pictures yet, but I have confirmed that both bubblelicious are FEMALE!!!! :thumbsup: I'm also starting to see preflowers on the blueberry, and new nodes popping out everywhere - not just alternating. :cool:.

They are growing like crazy ever since I flipped to 12/12, its hard to keep them short. I can only really let them grow another 12-18" vertically so this will be a challenge.

[bombdiggity]

pictures from day 6

i'll probably stop doing day-by-day pics after this, I'm only doing it now because I've been watching for sex to show. Seems now that i have 100% females (3/3).

Pic 1 - My T5 setup with flowering bulbs in. 10k lumens - we'll see how it does.

Pic 2 - My current exhaust - 120mm pc fan. I'm going to be upgrading to a vortex 4" inline fan in the next week or so.

Pic 3 - Blueberry - freshly LST'd

Pic 4 - oh, How I love the ladies

Pic 5 - Bubblelicious 1 & 2

[iriebowl]

Also, do I start feeding bloom ferts the same day I switch to 12/12 or am I suppose to wait a while?

Thanks guys :D

I keep feeding my plants vegging nutes for 1-2 weeks into flowering (depends on strain) then start my bloom nutes after that. My plants seem to like that more, instead of the light/nute changes once I switch to 12/12. Gives the girls an easier time to adjust to the flowering schedule

nice setup and plants, looking forward to that blueberry you got :thumbsup:



stay irie

[bombdiggity]

Just adding some more pictures for my future reference.

Still from day 6.

[anbesol]

Damn Bro. Your Plants Are Looking Mighty Healthy! You Should Take Clones!!!

[bombdiggity]

Thanks dude! I would if I had a seperate area for clones. I really wish I did. Maybe next time! I still have 5 more bubblelicious beans - so maybe on the next grow.

[bombdiggity]

Well today officially starts *week 2* flower. Day 8. I see pistils everywhere its great. Only problem is I think I also see male flowers but I'm not 100% sure.

Here are the pics.

Pic 1 - Bubblelicious #1
Pic 2 - Bubblelicious #2
Pic 3 - Blueberry
Pic 4 - Close-up (dont mind my nute burn)
Pic 5 - Close-up showing what I'm worried about. Pistils on the top, and looks like ball clusters on the node below.


HELP!!!! :(:(:(:(

[bombdiggity]

stupid pictures didnt show up let me try that again...

[bombdiggity]

here's a quick group photo. Can someone check those pics in my post above (previous page) and tell me if they think I have a hermi on my hands? If so what should I do with it?

Thanks guys !

[muordeeb]

here's a quick group photo. Can someone check those pics in my post above (previous page) and tell me if they think I have a hermi on my hands? If so what should I do with it?

Thanks guys !

Yes, the plant has male parts. I would get rid of it immediately. Even if you use that hermi to breed with mostly all of the offspring will hermie. Believe me I had a hermied afghani #1 and pollinated a white russian female, I planted 6 seeds and they all hermied except 1. But besides all that, very nice grow.:rastasmoke:

[bombdiggity]

K, I ditched the hermi.

thanks for the quick response.

[hudson88]

Looking great bomb, can't wait to see them buds grow!

[SnSstealth]

yes bomb...them be balls matey!!!....lookin good otherwise:thumbsup:
whiskeytango

[bombdiggity]

Here we are... down to 2 females. Hopefully I can keep it that way. I figure if my last bubblelicious hermies I'll just pick off all the male flowers as I see them. And the blueberry is feminised, and I've heard that these are kinda prone to going hermie as well, is this correct?

well, either way - here's some pics. Notice how many budsites are on this lady

[bombdiggity]

Looking great bomb, can't wait to see them buds grow!

thanks, me neither!


yes bomb...them be balls matey!!!....lookin good otherwise:thumbsup:
whiskeytango

fucking balls! haha i'm over it though and thanks for the compliment!

[bombdiggity]

just some pics from day 11

blueberry is very sluggish considering its only 9 days younger than the bubblelicious.

[Cede2Weed]

Damn, Bomb. Hate it about the Hermie. I am dealing with the same thing, contemplating picking the balls out. Just in denial. But your remaining girls look great. Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:

[bombdiggity]

thanks cede! yeah, hermie is a bummer. I was pretty sad until my girls started budding out and shit.

my blueberry is going through a growth spurt right now, and its weird because its actually flowering on the very top, but nowhere else... not on any of the other nodes. In fact, pistils started popping out before I even saw alternating nodes.

I'll have pics probably tomorrow.

peace, and good growin!

[bombdiggity]

Today is the first day of week 2! Maybe the stretching will stop soon then! hah.. this thing is growin like crazy. the budsites are exploding man its crazy. check it out!

[Shovelhandle]

Going nicely. Stretching? I think they haven't started stretching. lol Wait until next week!

[bombdiggity]

continued

[bombdiggity]

haha dont say that!! i only have like 8-10 more inches of headroom, maybe a little more. I'll just have to keep tying them down over and over again. Maybe next time I should try lowrider :)

[zebulon]

Hey m8...nice work so far, healthy looking plants.....can't wait to see the finish and some nice frosty buds....:thumbsup:

[Cede2Weed]

That Bubble is a very beautiful plant. The Blueberry looks very healthy as well.

Doesn't look like you could have kept more than 2 in there. You may have to put a pseudo screen in there.

Excellent grow :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[bombdiggity]

word thanks cede.. i was thinking about the screen idea but at this point I'm just gonna try to let them finish. I've been tying them down so much every other day and I'm getting tired of it - as I'm sure they are too. I'm going to screw my light fixture to the top of my box and just let them grow. Should be plenty of space. Doing that should give them about 12-16" more to grow vertically before they come dangerously too close to the light.

[whoreable]

Hey Bomb, when you started seeing sex in the first first first part, you had a football shaped object correct?

but this football shaped object was somewhat split and not enclosed right?

because I have a single plant with what looks like your earlier sex pics and im not sure what Im getting, I have a log going so if you could share your opinion, although I dont really have updated pics of the sex part today.

Anyways, great stuff you should be so happy :D I would :)

++

[bombdiggity]

yeah it was like a cluster of tiny footballs. hope this helps

thanks for stopping by :cool:

[bombdiggity]

Day 17 Flowering

Nutes: Been using AgeOld Bloom at 2tsp / Gal every other watering. Waterings take place every 2-3 days. During veg I used GrowBig at 1tbsp / Gal, and used plain water every 3rd feeding.

Light: Still using ONLY my 2' T5 setup with 2 3000k bulbs putting out 10,000 lumens, while using 110W of power.

Vent: I will be installing my 4" vortex tomorrow (when it arrives), but up to this point I have been using a 120mm computer fan for exhaust, duct taped to 4" ducting.

And now - for some pics.

[zebulon]

Still beautiful looking plants m8...:thumbsup:
Are you planning to transplant the BB into a bigger pot??
If you have money and some time, i think the plants would benefit from a few more cfls, they would become more resinous and it would improve the final yield too....

[bombdiggity]

I'm going to just use this light setup for this grow - to see how it can do. 10k lumens is theoretically enough for my 2'x1'x3' cabinet. (WxDxH)

The buds are growing fast and big too :thumbsup:

Oh and the BB.. yeah I probably should transplant into one of my square pots but I'm so afraid to shock it during flowering. I was thinking about finishing it in that container as it was pretty small when flipped to 12/12.

[bombdiggity]

Vortex fans are fucking LOUD!!!!

I finally got mine yesterday and spent about 4 hours redoing my exhaust and intake ducts, and permanently installing my carbon filter. I have it at the end of my exhaust line and its working great! Yesterday my temp maxed at like 78, and my house temp was 75. Finally no more prepping for dark cycles every day.

Also I transplanted the blueberry - it was starting to look horribly rootbound. After about 10 hours of light it was looking better already - I cant wait to see how its doing after last nights dark cycle.

I'll have pictures soon, the batteries in my camera died.. gotta go pick up some AA's.

[bombdiggity]

Day 20 Pics. Fed 3tsp / gal AgeOld bloom today. blueberry is looking better. Bubblelicious is lookin amazing.

[iriebowl]

theyre looking great :thumbsup: gonna get some solid nugs off them girls.

stay irie

[bombdiggity]

thanks i hope so! :jointsmile:

[bombdiggity]

Day 24 of Flowering. If you're just joining us, the larger plant is "Bubblelicious" from Nirvana, and the smaller plant is "Blueberry" from (i think) dutch passion.

Feeding has remained the same. Any nute burn you see is from veg.

Trichs have started appearing everywhere. When you touch the buds and smell your fingers, it smells sweet and fruity, but not really anything like bubblegum as claimed by the breeder.

[bombdiggity]

big storm coming through my town.. i hope to god i dont lose power. thunder is shaking my apartment.

[jessejames12345]

Plants are starting to fill in nicly, well done ...Im at about the same point with my flowering, now is when we both get to see them really plump up :)

[bombdiggity]

Thanks for droppin in man. Yeah I cant wait to look at these things every morning... I find myself checking my watch over and over again waiting for 10:53am when the light cycle starts so I can see them lol.

[jessejames12345]

hehe , your lucky you have your lights on durring the day you can check on them whenever you want :)

My lights run at night so I have to wait ALL day, well untill 8pm anyways ;)

[bombdiggity]

Pic 1 - Overall view (I cant believe how short I've kept the bubblelicious)

Pic 2 - Secondary growth on the blueberry. Notice the main stem.

Pic 3 - Main cola on the blueberry

Pic 4 - Side shot of bubblelicious

Pic 5 - Bud shot on the Bubblelicious.

[bombdiggity]

Can anyone tell me if it is too late to remove some fan leaves that are blocking light? I want to do it without stressing the plant... dont want any seeds! There are a bunch of budsites that could potentially add more yield but are being blocked by the fan leaves of the surrounding colas, as you can see in the pictures above.

[bombdiggity]

bump*

[anbesol]

no clue bro. im always scared of prunning. i would say if possible maybe tie some leaves together with a little nylon rope. your plants look great. i hope my new plants will look that good under my t-5's i got ny city diesels

[Shovelhandle]

I wouldn't, others would (Jerry Garcia, maybe?) If you have fan leaves with stems you can try and push them behind the branches or buds.

[SnSstealth]

i cut off the last 40% of the leaflets...barely stresses the plants that way...
WT

[jessejames12345]

try bamboo skewers (just from the grocery store) they work well to hold leaves where you want them.

Im no expert for sure , but I just chopped some leaves on mine early last week, just to move more air through the canopy and expose more sites,

I know JGarcia2007 chops almost all his, and his results were amazing, but his plants were all so a lot larger...

[bombdiggity]

thanks for the input guys. in the morning when the lights come on I will try tying back as many as I can and see how that goes.

i just gotta be careful to not fuck up airflow too bad

[greenatik]

looking bomb, bomb :jointsmile:

love LST'd plants, they just look happier with more nodes :thumbsup:

[anbesol]

I want to see new pics. we both use t-5's on your grow with them how have you liked them? and are you using the bloom bulbs from HTG 2?

[bombdiggity]

I want to see new pics. we both use t-5's on your grow with them how have you liked them? and are you using the bloom bulbs from HTG 2?

Hy anbesol thanks for following along.

I have the 2' 2 Bulb T5 System from HTG... got it for $69.95, and yeah I'm using the 3000k bulbs for flower. About a week before I flipped to 12/12 I was using one grow and one bloom bulb, then switched to two blooms. I'm really happy with the performance, considering the price and power usage. My buds on the top seem firm frosty, and I'm only in my 5th week. During veg I had like no stretch. Anyone who wants to talk trash about t5's can just browse though this log and see how well they do perform - atleast in small confined areas.


I will take pictures in about 30 minutes - gotta eat first!

[Shovelhandle]

T-5 HOs and other high output flo tubes can really perform. Stuff enough of them in a space and anything can happen. They have very good efficiency numbers (90% to CFLs 65%) the trick is getting all the light near all the grow. Every inch of tube should have vegitation within 2-3 inches. Probably perfect for scrog.

[bombdiggity]

Day 30 Flower

Things are going great! I'm going to test a little popcorn nug from the bottom underneath the canopy. I know its probably a bad idea, but I've been out for a couple days now and I'm really jones'n

[hydrocannabis]

damm mr. B. thouse look beautiful as hell.

have a hi5 to this one.:D :thumbsup:

[anbesol]

They Look Great Bro! How Did She Taste?

[anbesol]

If you can pick up the July 08 Issue of High times, on page 83, you should see the nice buds this guy is growing with 16 T-5's

[bombdiggity]

She tasted bad i dried in the microwave :(

the high was short lived but nice. its only a little more than half way done so i imagine the final product being excellent :thumbsup:

i'll try to get that copy sounds sweet!

thanks for the great compliments everyone!

[iriebowl]

I keep feeding veg nutes for the first 1 week of flower then half/half the second week and then full flower nutes from week 3 til harvest. Also I like to give a full 24-36 hour dark time before putting them under 12/12. Seems to jump start the plants into flower so you arent waiting to see preflowers.

great looking plants


stay irie

[bombdiggity]

Day 34

Last day of Week 5. I need to get a microscope :wtf::wtf::wtf:

Its been getting hot here recently but temps are staying relatively low in the grow cab. I haven't seen it go above 83F since I installed my vortex. And despite the cheap carbon scrubber I have, there is no smell coming out of my cabinet. I do, however, smell the carbon filter a little bit. Smells a little musty.

[bombdiggity]

Here's a closeup of the blueberry. The pics in the last post are all of the bubblelicious.

[zebulon]

Nice...they look super yummy...good work so far....:thumbsup:

[bombdiggity]

Nice...they look super yummy...good work so far....:thumbsup:

thanks! they look a hell of a lot better in person :jointsmile:

[anbesol]

How Much Longer do You think?

[bombdiggity]

2-3 weeks on the bubble, 3-4 weeks on the blueberry.

I'm going to feed nutes only 1 more time to the bubble, then straight water till finish. I'll probably give the blueberry nutes 2 or 3 more times.

[bombdiggity]

Day 38 12/12

I stripped the lower growth on the blueberry, it wasn't doing anything and honestly it looked pitiful. I know this will probably decrease my yield, stress the plant, blah blah, but I did it like 3 days ago and haven't noticed a single sign of stress. They are really starting to put on weight, especially the bubble.

[hudson88]

Sweet looking buds bomb, love that 2nd pic, gotta be happy with a field of buds like that!

[Shovelhandle]

clearing out the undergrowth won't hurt it. Very nice.

[smokestoomuch]

Looks beautiful mate............. HEAVEN! :)


I want some...............


enjoy blood :thumbsup:


keep toking, keep smiling, keep burning :rastasmoke:

[bombdiggity]

thanks a bunch guys!

and thanks shov for clearing that up for me, I was really worried that I might have stressed the plant to be a tranny.

although I am satisfied with this T5 setup, I would love to see the results if I switched it with a 150w HPS. Also, I would like to know if there is a difference in heat between my 110W T5 and the 150W HPS.

any insights?

[SnSstealth]

lookin yummy bomb!!! good job..
whiskeytango

[bombdiggity]

thanks WT :thumbsup:

[jessejames12345]

Yea I do image that going to HID would add a bit of heat, those things are HOT. but you could always add another small fan blowing between the plants and the light , directly towords and exhaust port, and you'd be totaly fine.

They look good man, nice fat buds always do...

I think Im going to give mine a bit of a hair cut this weekend too ( im the same as you , about 40 days flowering )

Peace

JJ

[bombdiggity]

yeah, i've noticed dramatic bud growth on all those top buds ever since I trimmed the bottom stuff on the bubble (the larger one), and I just pruned the blueberry like 5 days ago I think so it might be still recovering, although it has put on a little weight.

I have another question.

Is there a way to tell when to harvest other than a microscope? Can I just harvest on the suggested day from the breeder?

[SnSstealth]

a digital camera will zoom in enough to see amber trichs...believe me, the buds will look done when they still have 2-3 weeks....patience is a virtue......

Pic #4 on my last update (day 38) is about as close as i can get without it being blurry. and thats in macro mode.

you still think I'll be able to see the amber trichs, judging from that pic?

[jessejames12345]

i just found a cheap ass magnify loupe at my local hardaware store for like 3$, might make you life easier :)

peace
jj

[bombdiggity]

yeah i might just go to radio shack next week and buy one. no point is investing all this time and $$$ and then chopping too early!

thanks

[GreenDestiny]

The bubblelicious looks so good!

[Shovelhandle]

first, the HPS is warmer than the t5 a small fan should do the trick if the ambient temp isn't over 72º or so.

Second, a suggestion with the little microscopes. You can buy lithium batteries in AAA, which will give the best service. Otherwise the light gets dim very quickly and then the scope doesn't work for shtt. I discovered that using a mini flashlight with AA batteries (which I have plenty including rechargables) works great, even better than fresh batteries in the microscope. Lay the flashlight on a folded handkerchief or cloth on the table so it points right on the leaf you want to look at. Just use the scope with the flashlight. ramble ramble....

really nice job bomb, and not just for a first grow, kudos to you!

as a CFL'er myself, it's really nice to see results like yours, and with only 110 watts, good stuff man!

LOL i love chuckie

thanks everyone ;)

[bombdiggity]

We're getting close! About 2 weeks till harvest. Bubblegum has been flushed and will only get water till finish. Blueberry I anticipate taking a little longer, and will be fed nutes one more time, in a few days.

I took a pic with flash and one without, as I think the flash is kinda cheating. Seems to reflect off all the crystals lol :thumbsup:

[jessejames12345]

NICE :jointsmile: .... They are ripening nicly indeed ....Looks like we'll both be harvesting around the same time have to have a cerimonial :jointsmile:

[iriebowl]

looks great man. I got 1 day ahead of you in flower but yours look really dense and heavy. Good job

stay irie

[bombdiggity]

NICE :jointsmile: .... They are ripening nicly indeed ....Looks like we'll both be harvesting around the same time have to have a cerimonial :jointsmile:

Yeah I'm hoping to have my bud smokable by July 4th. Gonna be some "fire""works!


looks great man. I got 1 day ahead of you in flower but yours look really dense and heavy. Good job

Day 47

Buds are starting to harden up. Both are on plain water only.

:jawdropper: Nice :thumbsup:

[bombdiggity]

thanks!

I got a 30x magnifier today. trichs are clear. 30x doesnt make them very big though its still hard to see. I'll def be able to see amber but i dont know about cloudy.

[Shovelhandle]

Bomb, I use a 30-100X mini-microscope and I usually use just 30X and see everything. The light on mine is not very bright, especially after using the batteries for a few minutes, so I use a little flashlight to shine more light on the leaves. I cut a little piece of leaf and lay it on a piece of white paper. I lay the flashlight down shining on the leaf and I can see things much better. I hope this can help you.



Good luck on your harvest. Don't be in too much of a hurry, let 'em ripen up good, man. I have the one hermie curing now so I'll have smoke for the 4th fosho. Today is day 60 (Sunday) and I will pick the rest on Tuesday.

Shov

[justanotherbozo]

thanks!

don't worry bomb, you'll know cloudy when you see it.
they get to looking like they're filled with watery milk

like shovel said, the 30x is the shit, any stronger and you just can't get it to stay still enough to see anything

[bombdiggity]

thanks shov and bozo. I'm gonna cut a piece of leaf and check it out on a white background just to be sure. good tip shov

i wont rush it, just hoping that I can have some dried bud for the holiday :)

[anbesol]

Holy Shit BombD. They look so good, i wish i could try them when they were finished. Hey check out my new grow when you get a chance. How do They Smell??

[camoxnhx]

man those look soooooooooooooooo dank! nice greenthumb!

[Shovelhandle]

So, how are those BG & BBs doing? Any new tric color? I've got my plants in the dark and will chop tomorrow.

Holy Shit BombD. They look so good, i wish i could try them when they were finished. Hey check out my new grow when you get a chance. How do They Smell??

Hey anbesol thanks for following along man! They dont really smell that much unless you squeeze the buds. When you do that it smells like shitty fruit if that makes any sense. (but in a good way)


man those look soooooooooooooooo dank! nice greenthumb!

paging dr. greenthumb~~~

haha thanks man!


So, how are those BG & BBs doing? Any new tric color? I've got my plants in the dark and will chop tomorrow.

Shov

The BG is doing pretty good, I haven't seen any noticable bud growth in a little while though. I have spotted a few amber trichs, but still mostly clear. The BB has a much better smell, and just flat out looks better. More calyx / leaf ratio, sooooo many trics, and an amazing smell. The BG is a monster for such a small pot / light. I must say I'm pretty satisfied with my first grow (knock on wood). I still probably have a week or so left.

Good luck on your harvest, Shov, and thanks for following my grow log.


lookin good bomb!
WT

Thanks WT~~~!!!~~~

[bombdiggity]

Day 52 (Week 8)

Still waiting for trics to change. I have seen only a few amber still.

Argh, I'm so anxious!!! Anyway, here's some pics. They are still on plain water, and they are showin it!

[zebulon]

Those look sooo good....:food10: I'm drooling like crazy....Nice job Chuckie....:D

[camoxnhx]

Yea so i just caught myself in awe staring at that those pics exspecialy the last pic out of the four! so im with zeb..... Drooling. Only if you could post a scratch and sniff of the BB on fourms so i could enjoy the aroma of BB. LOL

[bombdiggity]

:thumbsup:

The BB does smell incredible. Need some smellovision.

Thanks guys!

[bombdiggity]

I harvested about 25% of the BG yesterday, hung the buds for abouut 36-48 hours (they dried quick), and cured them overnight. I'm now smoking on my own homegrown.

I'm so excited about it. And the bud is really good too. Maybe a tad immature, but there was like 20% amber and alot clear, not too many cloudy. Seems like a weird ratio to me so I harvested just the branches that looked like that. The larger ones are still pluggin away and will be harvested soon.

BB is taking a little longer than expected, but should come around here any day now.

[bombdiggity]

Here's some pics of the bud I harvested. This is only like 1/10th of my total yield. Bubblelicious.

The smoke is nice. Its clear and long lasting.. I catch myself daydreaming alot. I'm sure it will be better when I harvest the rest, cuz I'm gonna let them go like 9 weeks.

[GreenDestiny]

looks great!

Just don't smoke it all too soon...lol Let it cure for another couple of weeks and then see how much better it gets ;)

[anbesol]

how much does it weigh?

[hudson88]

Wow bomb them nugs look primo, covered in crystals. Top job mate :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

The buds in that pic is about an 1/8th or so.


Wow bomb them nugs look primo, covered in crystals. Top job mate :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

thanks hudson!

[camoxnhx]

This was for sure a awsome grow log. i learned a few things which is the best part about reading others grow logs. As far as your harvest how has it been and how is the smoke of the BB?

[bombdiggity]

thanks man! I'm glad you were able to learn a few things.

the BB is AMAZING. Its not cured, just dried and it tastes and smells amazing. I just started curing last night so we'll see what happens. The smoke is extremely potent, keeps up with the local kush here in OC. I'd say its better but I think my opinion is biased

Yield on BB: 9~ grams or so :mad:

It was a tiny little one cola plant so I'm not suprised

The rest of the BG is still growing, the harvested part is OK. Doesn't compare to the BB, but is still decent.

I will post a final yield and smoke report in a week or so.


Thanks for reading :)

OC eh!? i use to live there and the IE. lol Well 9 grams.. a little but a lot in potency.. awesome! well i think my next grow is gonna be BB because your grow has gotten me enthusiastic about growing BB. thanks for all the info in your grow! help me expand my little greenthumb into something a little better then before :)

[painretreat]

Anxiously waiting to hear and vicariously enjoy your smoke reports!!! And remainder of your curing, etc.

am trying to learn all I can form your thread and ones like it. Soon, to get my feet wet!:thumbsup:

[jakezking]

bombdiggity, I've lurked in your thread for some time now without a reply. And, I have to attribute my shyness to the fact that Chuck Norris is an intimidating son-of-a-very nice and beautifully, saintly woman (just in case Chuck reads this thread or it is otherwise reported to Chuck).

I envy you the time you will spend using your mason jars full of incredibud as goggles while you hopelessly try to focus on your TV after becoming interested in the monkey sounds from the Discovery Channel.

Aloha

HAHAHAHAHA

Thanks for the good laugh - and the new sig.

I will report with pics and a smoke report of the cured bud in a week or so - I've been super busy with work.

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask them in here, I check in daily.

[greenatik]

very impressive turnout bro! :jointsmile: looks delicious :food10:

[bombdiggity]

thank you, sir! :rastasmoke:

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

the BG nugs look very tasty bomb, did your blueberry ever get the hint of blue towards harvest? And please be sure to capture some cured nugs for our viewing pleasure :D I'm going to guess in about a week or 2 they'll be nice and ready

nice work

[bombdiggity]

Yeah, about a week or two. The blueberry does kinda smell "blue" but not till just these past couple days curing.

Thanks buddy!

[bombdiggity]

Here it is - THE FINAL HARVEST

This is the remainder of the BG plant. I already harvested about 10grams or so about a week ago. This looks like a little under an ounce, could be less. I'm happy with the yield, consider the light used, and space restrictions.

Pics right before harvest & after trimming.

[jakezking]

bombdiggity, I'm glad you got a laugh out of my reply the other night - I was pretty fairly lit, and I am glad I didn't offend anyone with my strange sense of humor. I was happy to wake up the next morning and find that I was not banned!

Those buds are awesome looking, and I can imagine they taste and smell even better. The trimmed up banzai BG is an amazingly cool sight. I look forward to the smoke report, and I imagine you really will be able to smell colors after a few puffs of it, eh?

Be good out there, my friend!

[bombdiggity]

Buds finally dried and are now in jars. I dumped all of the bubblegum out of the jars for a final picture. I'm very happy with how this plant turned out. Its way more potent than the first batch that I harvested a couple weeks ago.

I'm guessing that I have just under an ounce here, and keep in mind I had already harvested about 10 grams on this same plant, and then let the plant go another 2 weeks.

Unfornately, I dont have a digital scale but I can "guestimate" that I got around 50g total. Not too shabby for 110W of T5, and two plants.

Well, here are the pics, and the end of this grow log. Its been real, and its been fun. But it has NOT been real fun.

hahah :thumbsup:

[jakezking]

bombdiggity, that is not a bad haul at all, especially for having grown under T5's the whole way. Just for ease of set up, I have always thought my first indoor setup will be under T-5's, and you have darn near sealed the deal on such an idea with your amazing results!

I will definitely go back and review your log for future use, my friend! Thanks for sharing your grow, and I wish you many months of smoke on your harvest! Be good out there!

[anbesol]

Its been real, and its been fun. But it has NOT been real fun.

hahah :thumbsup:

Why hasnt it been real fun? haha. Yo congrats on the bounty! are you happy with the burn and flavor?

Thanks alot jakezking, I'm glad that my grow has inspired you. If you want the ones that I used (the cheapest ones out there - but yet seem to put out more lumens than the competition) you can pm me for the link. I dont want to break any rules here.

Hahahah, that was just a joke. Its a saying, ya know? I had a blast growing this bud, as well as sharing and discussing it here. I want to thank you, and EVERYONE else who has visited my grow log and provided words of encouragement. Stoners love stoners, man - it's awesome.

This place is an amazing resource. Anybody can grow the best weed in their city just by reading and learning here at cannabis.com. :thumbsup: :jointsmile:

Hopefully this all makes sense to me later, because I'm FLYING on some bubblegum :)

[anbesol]

yeah bomb, you never told us (well maybe u have, im just stoned and cant search for past info) what the flavor of these babys are when smoked or how the high is. Im really interested. and yes, what will be the next strain to for you? I already know what i want to grow next! (ice cream feminized. or Romulan)

[Mr.GoodMorning02]

wow bomb, those last pics before harvest really show how resinous those ladies became. enjoy toking on those beautiful buds, very nice log and a job well done :jointsmile:. the reps are also appreciated. take care man

[Shovelhandle]

Awesome buds, Bub!

[painretreat]

So, totally encouraging. Now, I want to get some good seed for my 1st grow and go for it! But, from other reads, I know better and will start with my 'freebies!"

This has been an excellent and extremely informative read. As soon as I figure out how to hook up a printer yours and a few others will be my guide's--so I don't get too confused. I reallylike the simpiciity. You have no clue how much. I am pretty simple :jointsmile: My comprehension isn't so good,:stoned: so the pixs and details are excellent. I can tell a few others may have the same problem!

Looks like you should be going well again soon! I hope to taste what 'blue taste's like also!' I know I will, when I gro the same seed with your instructions! I know there are things you can taste when medicated or it is so good, your palate tingle's-can't explain it, just know it!

SO VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOU! pr

(what is pm?-I'd ask a few dumb ?'s, but don't want to jack your log, as I read a lot of!)

[bombdiggity]

good shit bomb!!! whens the next grow startin?

thanks WT - next grow hopefully will be in a couple weeks. I'm going to do LR2 x Trainwreck - I hear they finish in 9 weeks from seed. This is my only option because I am going away for 1-2 weeks in October.

Blueberry Smoke Report: Taste is excellent, smell is fruity and spicy. Its like the really good shit that you got "that one day"... the stuff that you brag about having long after the bag you bought is gone. I hope that makes a little sense LOL. The high is great - very strong head-rush feeling that lasts like 20min followed by euphoric numbness for 2+ hours. I LOVE this strain and WILL be growing it again in the future.


Bubblegum Smoke Report: Taste is OK, smell is great when you break it up - but it hasn't been curing as long as the blueberry. The buds are way lighter than the blueberry bud was. The high, however, is amazing on this one. Its more sativa influenced than the blueberry, so you have that energetic buzz if you are up and moving, or if you are just chilling you have that couchlock goodness.


wow bomb, those last pics before harvest really show how resinous those ladies became. enjoy toking on those beautiful buds, very nice log and a job well done :jointsmile:. the reps are also appreciated. take care man


Awesome buds, Bub!

Thanks Shov :thumbsup:

Thanks for the kind words :) Sorry PM means Private Message but I just realized that they dont have PM system here. Go ahead an ask any questions that you need to - I'd love to help. That goes for everyone.

[anbesol]

Yeah, You answered my question BombD. I think i may consider a Blueberry strain as my next. However, Mr. Nice seems to be a close winner. Good Luck on the LR2XTrainreck. Please post a grow for that 2
