I'm not sure, I'll probably blaze a little after dry then let the rest cure for a month or so.
i agree after drying i'll let it cure for another week then i'll clip probably an 1/8th and smoke that while waiting for the rest to cure longer. When did the bubble start giving off its flowering stench? right now i just got basic chronic smell. although really strong chronic smell. rubbing the stem and smelling smells like straight pine needles.

It took a while, I'd say 3 weeks. No longer than 4. Things change pretty dramatically between the 2nd and 3rd week.

Sorry for the crap photos, these were 4 days old.

How many branches/cola's do you have, I counted 18 last, is that good?

You were spot on with the smell!! PMSL

Carnt believe how fast she is packing on, shame she's lanky though.

Do you have any more recent photos of your bubble?

Kindest regards

All these are of the sour cream in 12/12 flowering, All are on the week mark, meaning Monday. As you can see the difference between week 5 and 6 is huge.

Nice plants man. I counted maybe 14 colas/buds, all tops. That's not counting the ones growing below the tops. These are the most recent pictures I have of the bubble. Taken Monday. I'm not going to take anymore until chop day to see how much difference the 3 days of dark I'm planning on doing will impact the plants. Very nice plants you got there.

My Bubblelicious started reeking before they went into flower. They got really bad after that. It's hard to describe the smell, but it is definitely VERY strong. I'm hoping the bubble gum smell comes soon, cause I'm going into week 6 of 12/12

Hey thanks, Just measured her at 95cms with 22 braches including the 2 main colas, sort of glad she didnt autoflower PMSL

Think your sour cream is the cream of the crop! I have a seedling on 12/12 just as a test, as it was free.

Just bought some molasses, how do you rate it with the bubble? Feed every other watering? Teaspoon per 2 litres, not sure what us gal is..

Your bublle looks like flying sourcers!

I do 2tbsp per gallon of molasses every watering.

1 gal is about 3.8 liters, so do 2 tablespoons per 3.5 liters.

that seams a lot lol how big are your table spoons!, not as big as your cars eh???

I member mixing half a teaspoon in 2 litres the e.c was 1.5, which is more than nutes Ive been giving here.

I have blackstrap molasses from Holland and Barret, Its like trickle and needs to be mixed with warm water.

teaspoon 25ml?

cheers

Thanks,

BTW do you think trimming your bubble affected the turn out? I have lighly trimmed all the the small lower branches and keep a few fan leafs.

Yea, I think it stopped vertical growth. I'm not sure if it affected yield.

2 tablespoons seems like a lot for every watering. I just use 1 teaspoon per gallon like every other watering
Yea, I thought that too but it's only molasses. I could see if it was chemical nutrients. It doesn't directly affect the plant anyways. From all the reading I did, I'm not too sure if the molasses did anything, since I'm using TigerB which isn't natural. The molasses feeds the microbial in the soil and help the nutrient uptake. the chemicals in the TigerB will kill the microbial sooo.. At least that's what I've gathered from reading.

I'm kinda iffy about molasses honestly. So many different opinions. Some say use from seed, some say use at start of flower while others say wait until last 3 weeks of flower. I choose to use it from seed and do 2 tablespoons per gallon. It hasn't seemed to hurt anything so I guess it wasn't a bad choice. If anything it helped, the plants seem to be finishing at only 6 weeks of 12/12.

I couldn't find the dehumidifier I wanted anywhere so I had to order one. It was 20 bucks off amazon. One of those renewable cordless ones. They had great reviews so I figured I would give it a shot.

SO! I've been fibbing to you guys. I actually put them in the dark Monday and have cut and trimmed and they are drying now. SO. On to the pictures of the harvest.. :fire:
Reason I didn't tell, because I'm sure some tool will come along and be like "you should have waited until next week, that last week does wonders" Well, I don't really buy that. I checked the trichomes Monday before I made my choice and the vast majority were cloudy and quite a few were amber so I said fuck it and put them in the dark Monday night. Wasn't 72 hours total. More like 68.. Anywho picture time..

No wet weight, I have no scale. Pistils on the bubble weren't all amber, although I'd most if not all trichs were cloudy/amber.

Not bad for a tiny little grow box and some cfl bulbs.

nooooo! j/k man so how long from start to finish give us the total
err 70 days from sprout, 75? from seed. I couldn't wait till next week. Going out of town.

25 veg 45 flower(from sprout)

I'm thinking if I would have put some under light in at the beginning of flower the lower sites would be a lot nicer.
