Bubblegum grow

[HighBrixMMJ]

Post a new pic I wanna see those beasty ladies he he he!

I was looking a bit more and I think they still need another few days. might try your trick of leaving them in the dark. Yesterday was feeding day but I didn't feed them so the buds wouldn't be as wet but they will need water if i leave them longer. Not sure if I should just feed them or only give them a little bit or not at all.

 

[HighBrixMMJ]

Feed em. It won't affect harvest.

Oh I was under the impression that you ran a lower chance of mold if you let them dry out before the chop. With the way they are progressing right now I think they will still need more time. They went from clear to half cloudy in 3 days but that last half is taking it's sweet time. How much change do you normally see in 2 days after total darkness?

Dude you gots to show us some pics man We need some bud porn

 

[WrEkkED]

ok ok calm down. lol

It doesn't look nearly as full in there since all the branches have fallen over. I have it setup so string holds some up and all the rest kind of lean against each other.

I saw a few more amber today but I did about 10 test spots and I think they will prob need another 2 days. I only get an amber every here and there and some are still mostly clear while others are still about 30% clear.



I'll take more before I chop. I wish I had enough light in there to turn off the hps because they look much frostier. The camera wouldn't take any hell of a pic tho. I can't pull them out or thir branches will break for sure.

 

[HighBrixMMJ]

Dude they look great! With your mix of amber and clear and cloudy I'd say sat is a good chop day! You have a great harvest there man congrats!

 

[HighBrixMMJ]

It just seems frostier after a couple days of dark....to me, not sure if it really works, I just think it does, so it works for me! Lol

 

[HighBrixMMJ]

I'd take a sample and quick dry it in the oven at 200 degrees or less, and try that chit out! If you like the buzz chop a couple and leave the others to go far a bit longer.

 

[WrEkkED]

Will def do a smoke test later on this morning as I just ran out. I was thinking Sat might be a good chop day too. I'm going to leave them in dark for 36 hours just cuz that works with my schedule lol

I was wondering if maybe I should just hang the branches directly in the tent rather than in the tub and then in the tent? I have all the stuff for the tub so it's no biggie to throw together.

Edit:
Just had a smoke. I checked the trichs after I cut it and most were still clear unfortunatly. I couldn't get to it before cutting it. It was a small one down low, but it did work. The buzz comes on slow and just keeps building. I had it in a pipe and it was very smooth, although I think that might just be cuz its so wet. But anyways, very nice uplifiting high. Put me in a good mood but it definately wasn't done and I am getting a bit of a headache. I think these girls might end up going the full 10 weeks. (tuesday)

Using your tent will work fine for drying. You'll get headaches from the chlorophyll, when burned it gives off a magnesium byproduct which stings in the throat and can give a small headache, but you get the idea of the buzz. Yeah the lower buds usually take a few days longer to mature, I will sometimes chop the top half of the plant and let the lower half go for a few longer to catch up, so to say! Ten weeks isn't unusual. There's lots of strains that go that long!

 

[WrEkkED]

Ya i'm not suprised at all. I had read other peoples bubblegum took 10 weeks as well. Since breeder said 8-10 I thought it would take 9 but I guess the highest number is probaby most correct!

I liked the smoke. It was actually a pretty cool trip, it did take a bit to get there though, and it took a decent amount of bud. But as I say very very smooth smoke which I've never gotten from greed weed before.

 

[WrEkkED]

The ladies took the chop today. I had them under 10/14 light for 2 days then 17 hours of dark and they had gone either all cloudy or some cloudy with amber.

I never knew how hard manicuring could be! what a pain. I had to watch 3 youtube videos to know I was doing it right and I still don't think I did a very good job. Some of my colas went purple which I thought was pretty cool.

I have the fan on as low as it will go, which seems to be pulling air through steadily but nothing crazy.

Before After

Will check back in with a final weigh in :icon_smile: Now time to smoke some more of my hard work.

 

[HighBrixMMJ]

Well done sir, I bet you're a proud poppa. How's the green poison auto going, mines banging I'm gonna post a pic soon!

 

[HighBrixMMJ]

Freeze those clippings, you can turn em into hash. Or make butter and bake some cookies!

 

[HighBrixMMJ]

Buy some bubble bags online for about fourth bucks, it's worth it, I love hash. It knocks me down! Lol

 

[WrEkkED]

I'm not sure my buddy hasn't been back out to see them yet. they should be done soon I'll have to get him to send me a pic if they survived.

I did put the clippings in the freezer. I wanted to make brownies but making oil seems way too hard so just gunna make budda and make this recipe for some non bake balls.

The smoke is amazing. As it dries it's starting to hit a bit quicker but it still creeps up about 5-10 min after. Very nice mix of body/head. The wife and I were rolling on the floor laughing playing heads up because we knew the answers but couldn't remember them at all lol Tastes really good and is very very smooth. Obviously not the final product but I like the way its going.

 

[HighBrixMMJ]

Sounds good man, I'm gonna be flipping 3 afghan kush, two skunk44, and one blue hash into flower tomorrow, taking clones off them tonight. Ill be moving north sept 1. So with all being 7-8 week flower times, ill be cutting it really close, the green poison auto should be done in like four more weeks. I'm traveling with a clone each of blue hash, afghan kush, skunk 44, Larry OG, lemon kush, bubblegummer, and two grown clones of white widow x big bud! Wish me luck, they'll be in a u haul trailer for 14 hours. Lol

 

[WrEkkED]

I had to jar my buds after only 4 days because they were getting crispy. I guess it was too dry in here but should be ok I guess.

I wish I had that many strains!! sounds so yummy. I can take those clones off u if u don't want to stress uhauling them :hubba:

Good luck and safe travels!
