They are very frosty, but the picture quality is a bit crappy, I forgot to turn on macro when I took those.

that's a huge harvest man.. honestly that right there would last more about a year maybe even longer than that because i don't smoke much. Only reason i'm growing though is because i don't wanna work through any middle man. And i'm tired of shwag weed that gives you a headache (that's all that's in this area).

lol, I hear ya with the schwag. We don't smoke often either. It will probably last us a very long time, but we're probably going to give some to my wife's mother. She's got medical issues so she can use it.

yeah i'm planning to "give" some to a few close friends so they can "give" to people they know. Other than that the rest will stay with me and i'll be drinking some delicious egg nog watching elf (mandatory holiday movie if you haven't seen it) laughing my ass off this holiday season with whatever chick i happen to land on at that time.
 
So, I got bored and cut off a piece from the bubblelicious. It's been drying for a few hours. Anywho, right now it seems pretty good. not really smooth, kinda semi harsh type. Took about 3 hits and I'm pretty high feeling right now. Kinda want to lay down, but I need some food first. lol. Good stuff, doesn't taste like bubble as of yet. Maybe after a few weeks of cure the taste will come out.
 
i think only certain phenos taste like bubblegum. sorta like c99 sometimes taste like pineapple if you get that pheno, or cut.

how long did you flish for? Do you think the period of darkness made any difference?

10 day flush. The dark period, I don't think it made a huge difference. I noticed some fattening of buds. It won't hurt to try. I've noticed more difference from yesterday to today really. They've gotten a lot smaller. Lost quit a bit of moisture last night. Humidity is down to 52%, was 65-70% yesterday. No signs of mold so that's great.

that harshness is you smoking all the plant chemicals when dried all that harshness goes away and you just get smooth smoke. normally before smoke you let dry for a week then cure for at least 1 week then its totally smokeable true flavor doesn't come out of good strains though for at least a month of cureing
 
I'm beginning to think of my 5 flowering Bubbles, that none of them are of the gum pheno.. these plants actually reek and there are no pink pistils or calyxes :(

I'm glad to hear the buzz is there. :) I'm hoping to get a couple of zips off of this LED grow then I'm strictly going 600 Watt in my jardin, running two waterfarms. With my nursery and my tent, I hope to get up to an elbow a month. I have a friend that gets severe headaches, migraines at times and weed makes him feel much better. Right now he spends about $500 a month on smoke. I hope to provide for him for cheap once my equipment is all paid for.

I can't wait to smoke some bubblelicious. I'm going to wait on the cure though. Nice harvest for CFLs. What is your dry weight?

Yea, I know. It wasn't THAT bad. It was harsh though.

I'm not sure about the dry weight. I'm either not going to have one or I'm going to have to borrow a scale from someone. It's crazy to think how much is hanging but it probably won't be much more than an oz if it's that much.
 
Plants are pretty crispy on the outside so I managed to get a scaled, sour cream is 21.65g and bubble was 17.08g so a little over 1-1/3 oz.

My plans for next grow are, 1 waterfarm, a 150 or 200w hps and a taller growbox. Maybe 4ft of grow space. Would be over double what I have now ~22"

Do the stem snap test. If it snaps pretty easily its ready to cure. On that note i was fixing to drive to Pittsburgh from ohio to go to Htgsupply.com and get me 150w grow lamp since the local hydro store here only sells 300w+ hps lamps those run over 100 easily. the 150w is only 70 bucks.

only reason i would switch from soil to hydro is i don't have to transplant.

I did the stem test. They were ready, although I'm going to keep a close eye on them over the next couple days.

Reason I'm going to switch to hydro is because the hydro(lol) store is so far away. I'd rather buy everything off the internet and not drive an hour each way to pick up soil.

If the stem snaps easily, you are beyond ready to cure. You want a crispy outside and a stem that bends before snapping. That is when you begin to cure, while a small bit of moisture is left in the center.

I'm switching over to waterfarms as well. Two of them just arrived, waiting for my clones to root... I think you'll do much better Mr2Shim. we can learn the in's and out's of hydro together. I have my tent, my 600W mh/hps 2 waterfarms, a vortex 435 cfm with a 351 cfm can filter, and I'm ready to rock. Got my ppm pen in the other day too, and my Flora Nova Bloom ferts. Like Scottyballz, it's the only fert I'll use in my grow. He pulls 16 oz per waterfarm, using a scrog.

I have plenty of Bubblelicious strain left, 5 seeds, 5 12" plants and 4 clones, but I kinda want to move on to something else, now that I have a tent and filter. Any suggestions for a nice strain that produces huge buds and a good buzz? I want to follow your next grow too, please let me know when you start it. Nice haul for your FL grow. You'll easily quadruple it with a single plant on the water farm.

Yea, I thought it was a bit odd. It did get pretty cold the past couple nights. I left the windows open and it dipped to 32 degrees, was probably 40 in the room when I woke. I'm keeping an eye on them in case they're still too moist for jars. So far so good. Stems didn't really snap, they had a nice crisp bend to them, which from what I've read is better than having them snap.

Aye, it is. If they easily snap, all the moisture is gone and all the curing in the world won't change a thing.

I just opened the jar to check on them, they don't really smell like pot. More like dead grass. Is that normal? No signs of mold, buts seem a bit more soft and stickier than they did when I put them in the jar.
