The bubblegum is drying and about to be cured. I'll start with the young pictures and work up to the buds. and man do they smoke great! instant head high followed by a nice body buzz. 4 bubblegum's are currently growing, and 3 of them are clones, I'll post another thread for the Chocolopes once they get interesting. The smaller one of the seed/soil bubblegum's was chopped down 3 days ago. Yielding over 4oz wet. not bad for a first timer and a small plant! hopefully i'll get an oz and a half dry but i'll live with 1 if thats all it gives me.

The large bubblegum is half way into week 9

The clones are roughly 3wks into flower except the plant i just took out of veg 4 days ago.

Their all under a 600w HPS in an air cooled hood with no ducting. lol But theres a 8in wind tunnel pushing 700cfm's out of the room so temps stay well in range. Dehumidifier keeps humidity around 50-55%. Hydro setup is a ebb and flow converted to a drip/DWC. Air pump pushes 70l/min into the rez and the drip timer is set for 15 minutes every hour and a half. Only problem i have is water pressure, the pump flows 250gph and its being shot out of 5 drippers on 3 plants. might be over kill. haha I'm going to look into pressure regulaters before each dripper.

feeding them technaflora nutrients. and a bit of rockwool a+b nutes. ppm on the clones is 1200 and the soil plants were getting 900ppm. pre harvest started with 3 days of pure 40ml/gal/sugardaddy 2.5ml/magical, then clearex to leach the nutes for 2 days, then 3 final days of straight ph balanced ro water. The big guy should be cut down next week! and the 95percent sativa, mind bending, tunnel vision inducing chocolope should go into flower here in a couple weeks.

I'll try to get my sisters digital camera that can take professional shots but she's completely against it! I've been begging her to take some pics but she's too much of a bitch! I'm about to buy a better camera i'm so pissed.

So I took the scissors to the buds today and gave them a more final manicure. Damn does it make them look better!

Here's some more i have to show off. The big bud hanging is obviously the main cola and some small buds to the left of it, the rest is drying on a screen, terrible picture. Pictures of the clones budding and the awesome 3leafer thing they have goin on. The clone that just went into 12/12 was also topped but came out with 3 main shoots :mrgreen: I'll make a real professional log in a while for my chocolope strain thats currently vegging in its own room.

chopped the big girl tonight, she went 3 days straight ro water after being clearex'd for 3 days dropping the nutes down to 0 ppms, 25 total from the ro water.

213 wet and thats with as much stem removed as possible! I'm excited as hell for my first grow and the hell these plants went through(250mh with a 20k coral bulb) for a week in veg. 12wks from seed to harvest 11wks on the smaller one netting 125 I'm estimating 90-100dry :) haha you can always hope for more.

smoke report after 6 days of drying, couple hours in the jar. Still tastes fresh but burns great, stays lit if you get it going with a buddy or two. pretty smooth, but will make you cough you're lungs out if you take in too much. fairly intense head high after smoking a gram and pretty good body buzz too! well, I'm high as fuck off some super skunk and a good bit of my own buds. I'll report back soon.

My two chocolope plants live 12hrs of their lives under a 600w hps and 12hrs under a bunch of cfl's i think 5 to be exact. 2 42w warm cfl's and 3 26w cool white's. It's 20in under the hps and seems to be loving it but it does have some yellowing starting to form on the outer part of the fan leaves. I'm going to research nute deficiencies and some other shit in hopes to figure it out before i run into a big problem. I'm about to flush it anyways with clearex tomorrow if it gets worse. The younger chocolope also has some yellowing, and its recently got worse than the big guy. feeding them both 250ppms tap water is 195 alone. I'm a fucking professional at procrastinating. Heres some pics.

yeah I'm disgusted with the whole thing, this was my first real grow, and it was definitely a pleasure. I can't wait to grow legally and quit fucking around with greedy dealers.

which legal state are you thinking about to use to grow the next time if you dont mind me asking
Click to expand...

cali or michigan, I'd like to grow 99 plants legally however, I'd have to move to that one city in northern cali, if thats even true, havn't looked into it. haha.

I'd be fine with a state that allows 12 plants or less to be honest.

Thanks for the pics. I was wondering when I should harvest mine. I see that I will have to wait a while since they are not quite as big as yours yet.

It really helps us growers when others post their success. Growing a new strain of weed is less of a challenge when you can see the results of that same weed strain from some one else.

Us growers got to stick together.
