think im going to veg these longer until the temps come down a little bit. it is sep tomorrow after all. im guessing they wouldnt be ready to flip for a couple weeks under the big light anyways so might as well giver them better conditions to set their flowers in

thank you eflo glad ur here. there some pics ive been posting of thee next crop going into flower that ill be sharing right here as i continue my quest for 1.5gpw. ill have them in as soon as the rest of the herb is done drying. its so hot i wanted to leave my 1000 watter off to keep my temps under 70F until they go in for curing. id guess with this last bit im waiting on maybe .9gpw this time. not bad considering the heat as well as the fact that my screen was only about 80% full. i think for my second SCROG i will keep tucking the central branches and let the outer branches grow more vertical before i switch to 12/12. cause the colas on the fringes only ended up being 3-4 inches above the screen in some places

Will be on the look out can't wait!!!

i kept some of the seeds out of the bubblicous. bubblicious pollinated by OG#18 x PurpleWreck might be something worth trying idk. i think they will get germinated with the next generation just as extra plants to see what they're about. purple bubba gum might be tasty. or i might just be off my rocker, i think its worth a good old college try though

@BubbaGumpHemp I'm looking to start my first grow I have a 4 x 4 tent carbon filter 600 watt hps with a digital ballast. I have roots organic soil I want to run 1 plant at a time so I wanna get a 30 gallon pot. I plan to use Kyle kushman vegamatrix line for nutrients along with the og tea they have.... It's hard to get an answer from people up here so my question is with all I have been learning up here all optimal conditions what you think I should reach for as a goal? I'm looking for potency great taste and smell... Any information you can help me with to start my new path is appreciative.

Great work Bubba. Sorry about the herm. Sounds like it was heat stress. I like the small hygrometers you got where'd you get those? I did read through your thread but I forgot how long you said you vegged for? How long you planning on vegging for in trying to achieve your yield goal?

i got them on amazon for like 3-4 bucks i like them because they are easy to ready through the jars. as far as vegging goes, if memory serves me right, this crop i harvested was vegged 8-9 weeks. my next crop here have been vegging about 10 weeks already and i will prob keep vegging for another couple of weeks in the flower screen so i can fill it up. im down a plant now since i know that POG pheno is confused. i have two other phenos that wont be hopefully. plus some bub plants again to keep that genetic train movin along. im slightly nervous about this crop being plants down before i even start, i have a lot of vegging to do to make up or it. i feel confident i can get another lb out of them as long as these two untested phenos work out. i might even be crazy and keep the clone from my hermie and try it once more with a VERY close eye to see if heat was the cause or genetics. the taste of her is absolutely out of this world, ive never tasted grape so strongly before in cannabis and im unsure weather the new phenos will have those same characteristics so it may be worth the gamble, im thinking it over. i may do it and just yank her at the first sign of any funny business. i think the potential reward may just be worth the gamble, cause that shit is the FUNK :eyesmoke:

eflo good luck with you grow first of all, secondly, keep us updated with your progress. i think everyone here is more than willing and capable of steering you in the right direction. as for your question a good benchmark to aim for starting out IMO would be .5gpw once u can reach that level in my experience, the rest is just a matter of getting your veg and training techniques down. veg and training trough topping and LST is what makes the difference between a .5gpw crop and a 1+gpw crop. unless it doesnt matter how many plants u can have then you could just fill everything up playing the numbers game. you also want to spend your time growing out many different phenos until you find one that grows the way you want and gives you a product your looking for. you can only do so much without the proper genetics. during my couple months of vegging i LST until they r big enough to grow into my training screen, i start topping early and often, prob 10 times overall, starting very young. my goal is to have a minimum of 80 good tops on each plant, each of those tops can yield anywhere from 3-7+ grams dried, u do the math!

oh yea i never really answered our question. well its a bit to early to know exactly how it tastes, especially that bub i know from experience it needs a 10 day cure or so before the flavors really come out so everything is a little harsh atm but improving every day. the first batch is down to roughly 65% RH tom i will prob throw a 62% Boveda pack in each off the jars and let them sit as long as they need. BTW if you people have never used Boveda before, DO IT!!!! they are the best thing since rolling papers. like i said before that POG tastes just incredible, i think we all know bub tastes awesome already (been my fav for 15 years) but the POG is really something else, just like grape! you take a good hit, exhale and the entire back of your throat taste like grape soda. the grape starts to subside and after you smack your lips to get that grape taste u get a very pleasant and refreshing undertones of cirus, lemon to be precise. scrum-diddly-umptious. sry got the Simpsons on the brain after that marathon lol

Thank you so much on your input... I decide to do 4 plants an 5 gallon pots hopefully when I get to the point of lst and topping I can get a bunch of help up here

Would the boveda be something that goes in the cannador? Or does it have it's brand of humidor? Have you tried the cannas or if so what is your thoughts

one suggestion already for ya, i have done many side by sides with 5 vs 7 gal pots u get a considerable amount more yield using a 7 gal pot it also gives u more wiggle room on nutes as the soil buffers its self out a little with more soil. the pros def outweigh the cons

no i havent tried the actual humidors, jar with one of the 62% works perfectly. idk that id waste my money on an "official" pot humidor

the left nug is POG right is bub. the bub doesn't start to look real pretty till after a couple weeks cure, but boy she packs quite a punch for such a nondescript looking stain. im guessing that POG will looks better too the nugs are really dense. denser than anything ive ever seen grow personally yet. not much purple on these nugs i might find one and snap a pic with the purple on the bottom of the resin glands

Sounds good Bubba. I would def run the herm pheno again just to be sure it wasn't the heat stress. Are you positive it wasn't a small light leak? Just tryna help you figure it out. I wouldn't stress to much your good at growing and maximizing the plants potential in your setup. Look into one of the tower fans to help with the heat. I've seen them do wonders and I'm about to get one even tho temps are dying down now

yea its so close to the temp dropping off some im hoping that was the problem. light leaks, i do have a small one in my ac ducting from my flower room however it was on the opposite side from the POG and it doesn't even equal moonlight on a dark night. although it is an EXTREMELY sensitive strain. its very reactive to temps and nutes. it loves nutes but it has to be the right amount at the right time as she varies week to week. saying how reactive she is, she does a really good job telling you exactly what she needs if you listen and get on it like any good man would. not sure what ur talking about tower fans? u just talking about the vertical regular ole fans? no ac or anything right?
