wow glad to have u back i though u died or got caught or something.. man those plants really rock.. my plant is such a looser the buds are so small and non frosty..
Heya Whisky
Well i couldnt have done it without purchasing top quality amsterdamn seeds and my lovely 400w HPS!
I cant imagine the buds i would grow with 6 1000w HPS's *queue drooling* :jointsmile:
For your next grow you gota buy some seeds hey whisky, and try organise a MH and a HPS, or those T5 flouros.
Peace! :rastasmoke:
Bubblegum flowers in 56 - 63 days, im on day 38! :thumbsup:
So about two and a half weeks or a bit longer left!
Then i will finally sample my first taste of true amsterdam weed, no lying dealers:( , no let downs, just my homegrown bubblegum :rasta:
"For curing i am going to hang buds in a cool dark room for 24 - 48 hours, or until the surface of buds are dry, then place them in a sealed bag for about 8 hours or until they feel damp again, this will redistribute the moisture from the centre of the bud outward, then i will repeat the cycle again and again, but shortening the duration of each phase slightly as the buds will begin to dry and sweat quicker and quicker, in three or four days buds should be ready for consumption or storage."
*that was entirly plagerised from the High Times - Ready ,Set, Grow! video

You guys think this is a good method?
Hey, Blank. Good to see ya around. Again, that's really kind of a bummer that you were not able to maximize your space with more than one female, but at least you only have ONE to focus on now, so you can give it more attention. :D She does look nice and frosty, though. And DENSE, too! :yippee: The next 3 weeks will be GREAT! Looks like you will get some decent weight from that one. Looking forward to the harvest, buddy. :thumbsup:
Interesting dry/cure method. Watch out for mold. :)
The Fog :rastasmoke:
Thanks for the posts guys
Well i defnitly think this is a first grow to be proud of :jointsmile:
Heya All
Heres 2 pics of my plant taken with my crappy camera phone :wtf:
Thought id post them cause the last pics were taken with a hardcore camera with a macro lense.
So i couldnt get a view of the entire plant, but here she is :jointsmile:
My bubblegum is groooooooowing!!!!!! :thumbsup:
Ok so ive decided to try my Bubblegum :thumbsup:
I read up on all the quick drying methods on the boards and they all suck apparently (microwave, oven, etc) :wtf:
But i came across a post, think it was crispi, who said you can pick wet heads straight off the plant, pop it into a vaporiser and u get great results!
Well i dont have a vaporiser so ive DIY'd a lightbulb vaporiser! Thanks to google!
Anyways as you can see in the pic i plucked the two very lowest buds off my plant,they get hardly any light, they are REALLY shitty looking and basically havnt grown in ages, had no hope for them so might as well smoke the little buggers! :stoned:
Myself and two secret allies will try it tonight. I will post later on about the results......Hopefully i'll be stoned off my tits!!! On my own Homegrown!!! :rasta:
Peace!
p.s After about 4 weeks vegging (many many weeks ago), i topped all 8 of my plants, dried what i cut off and smoked, those premature young pathetic leafs got me more stoned after two bongs than if i had smoked two bongs of the local shwag, so lets say im pretty optimistic about this experiment! :D
Heya All
So we just smoked the bubblegum :jointsmile:
Problem was when i cut them up i realised each head was 4 leaves and some pistils. The top two leaves had some trichomes, very few tho. So basically i smoked some leaves with a few trichomes.
Used the DIY vaporiser until the weed was pretty dry then tapped it out and racked bongs.
You effect was rather nice, got slightly stoned, say 10%, it fellt different to any weed ive ever smoked. It felt clear and made me laugh. Put me in a immediate great mood. :D
I now understand the "euphoric , uplifting" description of bubblegum
I cant wait to feel the effect 100% :jointsmile:
Peace :rastasmoke:
bLanK
Heya All :D
I wish there where more people posting =( oh Well.....
So its Day 51 flowering, bubblegum flowers in 56 - 63 days. Cant wait :jointsmile:
Here some pictures taken with my crappy camera phone...
The first two are of the flowering female, the other one is of a clone i took 6 days into flowering, it has lots of these crazy one and two bladed leaves..... the main growth shoots have only just started growing 3 bladed and 5 bladed leaves. Its growing really quickly though. Its sooooo much faster growing from clones than from seeds!
So my flowering female is looking excellant:thumbsup: .
About 80% of the pistils are brown, the trichomes still look clear. Ive heard you should harvest when your plants pistils are 60 - 80% brown, but i'll rather wait the 8-9 weeks that the seedbank specified.
Looks like im gonna harvest 4 forearm size buds :rasta:
Cant wait!!!!
ANyways please post guys :beatdeadhorse:
Peace:rastasmoke:
Your plant looks great blank i hope mine looks that good!!!
Thanks ToKAlot :rastasmoke:
Looking very nice. Dont go by the hair colors they can age long before the trichs! Seed farms tend to claim the shortest time possible in great conditions, often in reality they take a while longer. If you're harvesting even quicker than they recommend, you're probably harvesting too soon.
Whats the best trichome ratio??????? 50% clear/50%cloudy?? 80% cloudy???
Ive read clear trichomes are mostly THC and cloudy trichomes have alot more CBD.......
Whats the best?
Peace :rastasmoke:
Generally, people tend to like to go about 50% cloudy and 50% amber.
Its considered more of a couchlock the longer you allow them to ripen and grow amber - up to a point. Personally, I tend to go for the amber color.
you could harvest one cola now.. one in 4 days.. another in 8.. and the last in 12.. and label their jars.. then smoke a test joint from each and see which you like best, then next time it will be exactly to your tastes !
Hmm that does sound like a good idea......
Id prefer to harvest all at once though, i think i'll take macros of the trichomes asap and harvest when the trichs are 50% clear 50% cloudy, i dont want too much of a couchlock stone, i prefer a uplifting clear feeling.....
Anyways thanks for posting
Peace :rastasmoke:
Heya All :D
So im 5 - 10 days from harvest, cant wait!!
Just a question, how can i get this thread moved to the grow log forum????
Peace :rastasmoke:
well done blank:thumbsup: looking very nice :cool: very nice indeed:cool: .the postman.
Looks really nice, and yummy. And thanks for keeping all of us updated on the grow process. Looks nice! :thumbsup:
Thanks for the posts d00ds :D
Beautiful photos, 21. That plant looks tastey!
Bubblegum is a favorite around here.
Shovelhandle
Thanks Shov
You grew bubblegum hey? Today is Day 55, bubblegum is supposed to flower in 56 - 63 days, i want the clear uplifting high, when do you think i should harvest?
I cant really look at the trichomes, not have a microscope....
Peace :rastasmoke:
I grew bg outdoors for a few years as well as indoors (60 days). Outdoors you want the plants "well done" don't be jumpin the gun. I do use the microscope now though.

Heya All!!! :D
So i harvested my BUBBLEGUM yesterday!! That was day 58 Flowering.
I hung my huge fat dank buds on a line to dry. These photos were taken moments ago, after there first 24 hours on the line. They are hanging in a cool, dark room:cool:
The buds are all bigger than my forearm :thumbsup:
They look stunning!! :jointsmile:
The smell of these buds are amazing, and the resin i got on my fingers from trimming was crazy!
What you guys think of my first grow?
Photo 1 : Main Cola 1
Photo 2 : Main Cola 2
Photo 3 : Side Cola 1
Photo 4 : Side Cola 2
Photo 5 : Macro of one of the buds
Nice colas, Blank. They look great. So, were they sticky or were they STICKY?? ;)
Did you smoke the scissor/finger hash yet?? WHOA! Looking forward to a smoke report asap, if you can get up off the floor. LOL
The Fog :rastasmoke:
Hey Greenfog :D
Always good to hear from you.
Yeah damn they were sticky! My hand was like a tar pit...
Gona scrape everything off the scissors and smoke tomorrow after work :stoned:
After ive puffed the dried stuff, hopefully in 3-5 days , i'll give a full smoke report :rasta:
Thanks for the post
Peace :rastasmoke:
^Looking forward to that! Rep, mang.
The Fog :rastasmoke:
The drying method i ended up using was one i got from a grow vid ive seen.
Here it is : Grow DVD - Top Quality Marijuana Growing. - Google Video
Its very basic, just hang your buds open air in a dark room, temp around 18 degress celcius. Low humidity.
Takes 10 - 12 days to dry. Im on day 7 , buds lookin great :thumbsup:
I was tempted to try rush the drying process, but would rather just do it proply. When 10-12 days have passed the buds will go into airtight glass jars to cure. :jointsmile:
Peace :rastasmoke:
Mmmmmmm! Bubblegum!
So all my buds are dry, 9 days hanging in a cool, dark room did the trick!
Got a decent amount considering i only had one plant.
I put all the heads in a airtight glass jar i bought,so that they can cure further, they look lovely!! :jointsmile:
The dense covering of trichomes make the buds shimmer :rasta: And the smell when you open the jar is incredible!! :thumbsup:
:stoned: :stoned: Quick Smoke report::stoned: :stoned:
Defnitly the best ive smoked so far!! Bongs go down soooo smooth, Taste is delicious , the high is strong and happy, quite clear, great feeling!! Very happy with the strain :stoned:
Anyways thats the end of my grow Log :( Hope you guys enjoyed it. I also hope that people planning there own grow ops will find it usefull.
ANyways Thanks to everyone who posted, especially whisky and greenfog!
Peace :rastasmoke:
ok why the hell is this in games?
Just wondering how much weight did you get off that plant?
hahah and its asif it is meant to be here :P
lmao
maybe mods having a laugh :D
As far as i can see its in the grow log forum......
I got 35 grams dry, im guessing when seedbanks say the yield will be 120 grams they talking about wet weight...
I thought I just posted on this thread...wtf, over?
(nice buds, Bud.)
Shov
it has come to an end, it was great to have shared this with you.. lolo wtf go smoke that stuff !! happy toking mate!:rastasmoke:
D00d its all ive been smoking for days! The high is so clear and uplifting!
My friends have been going mad when i wip the bubblegum out!
"Please (my name) Please!! just one bong!!"
me:"Backoff you jackals!!" *back hand to the face* *kick to the groin*
nice grow man! I think you've helped me decide which strain I will pick for my first grow.
YAY FOR BUBBLEGUM!!!
Looks sweet never tried that strain.
Good job!!!!
EDIT: Just realized this is a damned old thread???:wtf:
The 120 grams is usually represented as an average weight per meter square sea of green.Quote:
