Thanks Canuck. The figurine is one given to me long ago by one of my baby sisters. (they're all grown up now) They used to give me little trinkets like that and I still have 'em. His friend "the worm" fell out of the pot and busted.
Seeds, well, as the thread is titled "Shov's Bubblegum Grow" I'd guess that it's..........BUBBLEGUM, an old New England strain.

Can I blame the early hour? ... I was sober as a judge so I guess I'll just have to take my lumps on that one. Sorry for the dumb-ass question. :jointsmile:
So Canuck...where you be from, anyways? LOL
Now we're even.
Shov
lol, beautiful British Columbia man. How about you? It was fucking gorgeous out today I hiked up a mountain and blazed a couple joints with some friends. Good times! :jointsmile:
Looking good my man, i'd love to smoke some of that with you.
I'm about 50 miles south of Montreal. 45° lat
I would smoke some with you all but there seems to be some travel issues. <G>
Shov
I'm enjoying reading the log!! :jointsmile: Bree
Buds are fattening up and getting stinky. The "Big One" is really shakey to move around with that top cola so heavy. Runt and the three in a boat are doing the same. He's a pic of a couple of the "Boat Buds"

Dude that is hot!
Ha ha, yeah it's a bit far for me too! I go to Ontario and sometimes Montreal now and then though.Quote:

Damn they look nice. I'd love to sample some of that.
Ha ha yeah you know what I mean then! Maybe we will when we plan to harvest just to test it out but we'll see. Most likely we'll just chop it and sample it then! :jointsmile:
Hey, Shov. Nice thread, man. I've been keeping my eye on this one, seeing as the JOURNAL might include a little BG action in the near future. Looks like you're on your way! Good luck, man.
The Fog :rastasmoke:
yes sir, thanks!
I'm really anxious to get going on something different. I've only done BG for four years, maybe but it seems like 10! <G>

First images are of a couple of the "Big One" buds. They are hard and all the hairs are red. No new bud growth or fresh white pistels. Trics are still mostly clear.
[attachment=o118079] [attachment=o118080]
These plants are different pheno than the Big One, with less branching and more compact bud sites. They are having a growth spurt this week with lots of new white pistels.
[attachment=o118081] [attachment=o118082]
I have trained the Big One's cola to the same height as the Runt and the 3 girls in the boat and lowered the T8 fixture to within an inch or two of the tops of all these plants. I have flushed the Big One but am continuing with topmax and molasses for the other plants. Discontinued P/K suppliment and nutes.
So, about two weeks left, more or less...
Shov
Here's the Runt. Very healthy and happy! Having itself a nice growth spurt. Sorry the camera angle and frame isn't the best.
[attachment=o118094]
Shov
Lookin' good man! Looks like lots of pistils per calyx as well on the plants in pics 3 & 4. That bitch is trying hard to get laid! :jointsmile:
Looks great Shov - sick grow man!
I don't like this new grow log area though, I keep forgeting you and Canuck are up here, tucked away under the staircase. :p
Thank you, man. It is looking pretty good. These BG buds never have grown as dense and rich as this.
Well, where are the other grow logs then, Doco?
Shov
I guess I'm thinking of Indoors/Cab-Closet/Hydro/Outdoors - those have been the traditional ones and then they put this new Grow Log one a few months back but thy buried it in the Grow Lounge, which I only occasionally visit. It shouldn't be a sub forum, it should be its own, out there with the rest. But thats just my two cents. I just gotta go with the flow and try to remember to get up here more often cause I like your setup and wanted to watch it along the way but kept spacing that it was in a sub forum. :jointsmile:
Well I first started in the cab-closet thread, which it really isn't. It is just a very compact grow area. It is also flexible as the mylar panels are just hung on wires and are moved to access the plants and to make more or less room as needed. I put the mylar on pieces of 2' x 4' or 18" x 4' cardboard.
Shov
That looks like some good ass sticky. Great log. Cant wait to see the end result!!!!!!
Thanks Pete. I'll definetly show the rest of the story.
Shov
This plant, the "Big One" has a different phonotype than the rest of the grow.
I actually tried to supercrop it back in week six but "FIM". I did have some other cropped plants grow as I expected but they were all males. Whachagonado?
Anyway, some of the lower buds are still producing a couple of new pistils here or there, but generally it's dying. I'm Watching the trycs closely! Mostly clear, few cloudy and a couple are amber. Maybe one more week (that would be right to schedule, Feb-23)

Now the Most Wee, Runty!
She was slight, not so vigarous but healthy and beautiful! So,I kept her around and transplanted her into a big bucket to grow into. It didn't help much. She is what she is. Probably will mature a little late.
[attachment=o119350]
Shov
Well, I started the grow with a 30" window box and well over a hundred seedlings. As I thinned and took out transplants. I still had have a dozen left in this box at sexing time. No one ever, at all gave these six plants any right to live. Six ended up male and I pull em. Here are the maining three girls. They are pretty heavily budded. Very dense. They also may take an extra week or so to mature. Mostly clear trycs and some new growth.

Shov
sorry for the stonage ...I had HALF a Dozen in the boat...-3 males = 3 Fems.
Shov
Those all look great shov. The Big One is a motherfucker! :)
We might end up harvesting at similar times... I should get a pic of Mercedes up on my log, she's got about a week left too (I think).
-c :jointsmile:
I'm looking at the trics every other day now. I just noticed what looks like a little bit of bud rot on the Runt's cola. I pinched it out and removed it. I don't want to spread it, but there's not much time left anyway (gee bud rot, that plant was right in front of the fans and the RH was pretty low....I dunno).
The Big One and it's spur may be the next to be cut after the Runt. It's been quiet lately, all the hairs are dried up, plenty of clear trics left though.
I'll probably leave the trheee girls in the boat until last, as they still have active bud growth.

Shov
All cloudy trics with very few ambers on the Big One and Runty. I put them in a dark place with a fan for 48-72 hours before I pull them. The Boat Girls still have many clear trics.
Here is Runt's flowers. Here's a couple of Big One's nuggets.
[attachment=o119897] [attachment=o119898]
Shov
I trimmed and hung the Big One, it's Side Kick and the Runt.
The Big One trimmed was 5+ Oz wet. The top cola was 2 Oz. wet. Smells and looks nice.
Here's the Big One's buds in a vase before I hang 'em in a warm, dark place.
[attachment=o120325]
Shov
LOL! My what a lovely bouquet! Beats the hell out of roses.
Amazing bouquet, I'd love to get one of those anyday.
Great grow :) :jointsmile:
hahaha looks mint...
nice grow man ;)
<G> I saw Stinky make these bouquets with fresh cut bud. I thought it looked pretty cool.
Shov
Here's dry bud from the Big One. It dried very fast, it's actually too crispy :< That plant totalled two ounces of trimmed, dry bud. I can't wait to check it out!
I tried the other pheno bud this noontime. Three hits and I'm still wrecked, two hours later. I wish I could burn one up with y'all.
[attachment=o121093]
Shov
2 oz, nice one shov! Looks pretty good too. I wish you could burn one with us as well. :rastasmoke:
I had the same problem drying my buds. I think next time I'll try hanging the entire plant, what leaves are left & stalks and everything so it takes longer to dry. The smoke was a bit harsh.
-c :jointsmile:
I usually dry the same way, it's the location and the time of year that fooled me. The cellar is usually a nice slow dry, but during these cold winter days the furnace keeps the cellar warmer than the living areas.
Shov
...and still going.
The girls need to ripen a little bit more. Trics are still mostly clear.
Mmmm, looking fine. 18"-20" tall, all bud.

Como mola tu cultivo de interior, yo ahora estoy en ello, jejje.
