That's a week now since I've seen any gnats, previous to this week i killed 3 for the week before so I'd say they're gone?

I'm not in hurry to remove the cover they're doing fine but the curiousity in me needs to know if it's 100% cured them?

How long without seeing gnats before you'd declare them gone?

Gna be worth it tho I bet ... what's the smells you getting off them ? When I hear bubblegum I'm thinking of the old pink and blue 5p sweets that used to be in a pick and mix proper candy that's what I'd be hoping for anyway

Everything I've personally seen has lined up with what I've read about bubblegum since. I started it from seed out of Takilma in southern Oregon. It was exactly like original flavor bubbleicious. 99% of the time what you would find is a ringer for bazooka joe. More suttle and less sweet, but still bubblegum.

I found a reference to fdm on riu while looking up a different strain a few days. It didn't take long to order their

I really wish someone would cross a nice bubblegum to usc's uzbekistani line there is some nice gum phenos in that line i reckon those two would compliment each other very well

Who is usc? I just ordered bubblegum from fleur de mal and have a pack of Uzbekistan ibl from csi. Why do you think they'd make a good cross?

It's underground seed collective you can still email em and yes it will make a good cross you find two that compliment each other well anyway CSI has the pure Uzbek there a touch of nl in the USC one I think they will make a good cross because the smell and taste are similar but they different enough that your F1 should still be vigourous remember that bubblegum comes from silverback it's supposedly a isolated pheno from sensi star and on another note I reckon kc36 would blend well with a bubblegum or a blueberry too as well its not bubble tasting it's very sweet like cotton candy and berry so I suspect it work out well

Here's a little trick I've learned over the years, It's that time of year again when the frost will build up on your roof. There's nothing worse than arriving at ur spot to find yours is the only roof in the street without frost. Never mind the worry of criminals with infra red cameras out looking for hot roofs. Why not take advantage of the heat you're removing from your grow.

this setup takes advantage of a cold winters loft

the room below the loft has about 4500w burning, the intake for that room is a filtered duct in the eves of the loft, that duct runs down through the ceiling into the grow room.

the exhaust for the room starts with a filter in the grow, and is a duct running up through the ceiling, through a big ass fan and ducted back down through a loft hatch.

I love this method, it keeps my loft cold (as it should be) and my house nice and warm.

I hope this helps someone this winter

Aye it's a giveaway even tiny places like up in Orkney give themselves away as there the only houses on the island with no snow as for stick up cunts yeah it happens everywhere but none where I'm at would have the brains to use a thermal tbh anyway great wee hack tho bud I'm sure some will find it useful

@twalte posted this elsewhere on here, did some looking over our way and thought I'd share as I know many will struggle to keep temps up this time of year.

Essentially it's a 530w heater that pumps the heat directly into your tent.
If you click his name , go to his post , he's done a power consumption for each of the 10 power settings.

Beats having a 2kw oil filled rad heating the whole room chaps
