Shov Spring 2013 Grow
Flooding is all cleaned up. We're about half way through the bloom cycle. All the plants are happy and thirsty. Even though these are smaller than normal because of the abbreviated veg cycle the four of them are drinking as much as eighteen larger plants from the last grow at this point in the schedule.
This is the lone Bubblegum.

Shov Spring 2013 Grow
Oh, what a disappointment. My plants are heavily laden with seed. I couldn't have done a better job of pollinating if I had 100 male plants and a hive of bees in my grow room. No, I have no idea where the pollen came from. It happened weeks ago as some seeds are mature already.
The new batch of seed from Mr Nice did germinate this time. I have 5 out of 7 with long tap roots and now they are in party cups.

check the underside of the side buds between the stem that supports the bud and the bottom of the bud itself. probably tucked a few hermies in there. thats where they were hidin on mine.

These seeds are mature, 3-4 weeks old. They were pollinated during the first week or two of bloom. Might have been one of the bubblegum males. He must have been a quick shot though, I never saw a mature male flower.
I looked and did find a banana in a BG bud.

People in the know have asked how to grow short bushy plants. They realize that unless you're running 1000 watt lamps there is a limit to the height you can grow plants to produce dense buds. This may be a little more extreme than many people are looking for but this shows what can be done when you crop early and use a little LST (low stress training) and super-cropping.
The red line is at the top of a clear (hard to see) 12" ruler. Many plants are less than 12" tall but they will put out some decent bud. Please excuse my crappy photos, as usual.
All the plants at eye level.

I 'm hoping to harvest most of the buds in a week. This all depends on trichome color. Right now I see lots of clear on top still.
