Now this attitude created "The market" for people needing a how to and a guide/regime specific to "THEIR" needs.

Real growers learn about botany, and horticulture. Understanding Propagation is key, and learning to adjust on the fly is how you get best results.

Not by some label claiming to be the best.


Do you think we had FF in the 70's? Or a step by step guide for feeding regime's?

No way man, we learned through paying attention.


I would suggest some of you guys do the same

Thanks a bunch. I take a lot from this advice!!

Thx! Iono where Nirvana get their beans from, but thats where I got them from, Nirvana! I also tried Bubblegum few years back from BDS and the genetics from BDS was a lot better at least vigor, potency we'll see. 10 regular beans, 8 were ladies and all of them woulda been keepers. I'm not saying theese genetics are bad (Nirvana), the 2 flowering are keepers and thats why I cloned offa them, check my sig for threads Outta 5 femmed seeds from Nirvana, 4 germed, and outta those 4 only the 2 u see flowering were keepers. If u check my journal bout the flowering ladies, u will find 1 clone taken from a plant that was not desireable for cloning, its in my last post in the thread...The lady on the left is only 66cm tall yet I can promise u she will yield at least 4,5-5 ounces maybe more. When she started her stretch in 12/12, it was more so the outer branches that took off making the plant very uniform w an even canopy, BG tend to grow like that from seed. The right lady has grown a bit taller, shes 76cm tall w a different bud structure to it. She has like 5 main branches. Her outer branches really really shot for the top when streching but the plant still stayed short. She has lesser branches but each "main" branch acts like the main kola. I'll be popping by w some updates of the grow...58 days 12/12 today They are gonna go longer 12/12 then I had expected. I can only guess first is done 10-14 days from now...been changing that predicted harvest date further and further on since they have grown in "waves" making me puzzled as to when to harvest...also I learned during this grow that the amber in the trichs go in waves...and now they are milky to clear again, 2 weeks ago 50% where amber I go for the overall appearence when I harvest though...my scope broke so I'm not even gonna bother look at the trichs...ladies are ready when they're ready. Now I'm gonna go down to the store where I bought the damn scope...It was cheap but ima see if I can get a new 1 for free, it has 100x magnifying effect...it still is fun looking at those lil trichs standing up like troopers...

Edit: Sometimes I laugh bout what I've said myself in previous posts. First of all, I fergot the scope when I went to the store...hehe...when I came back home to get it I said to myself: "It must be working, it worked 2 days ago and I havent manhandled it or dropped it or anything". So i decided to try it again...and ofc it worked just fine. I must have been too baked "testing" it earlier today, LOL! SO...2 days ago it seemd as if almost all trichs were clear...now that my scope is "working again" I can see 80% cloudy, 15% clear and 5% amber...an estimate ofc, I didnt count all the trichs LMAO I read Subcools thread in the "Organics" forum (I think it was there) and concluded that its time to harvest...I will flush them tomorrow and 1more time before harvesting them on saturday-monday, day 61-63 12/12. Carrying theese heavy @ssed ladies to the tub again gonna be a beetch, but what don't u do for ur loved ones?! I don't want to harvest too late and lose that bubblegum smell and taste and harvesting today is too early. Buds are swollen, stone hard, "hairs" have started their way back into their "pods" wich are very very swollen, bout 50-60% hairs ar "red", and trichs as I said earlier are bout 80% cloudy. It's time!

thanks amigo...they look awesome

Nice rundown on the strain - I'm growing the bubblelicious from BDS (which, aren't they just re-selling Nirvana beans? Looks like they hijacked the strain descriptions verbatim.. some even have "Nirvana" in the description. I also see now that BDS lists it as Bubblelicious [bubble gum] like they're the same strain). But yeah, everything you said, about habit, canopy, amber trichs show early...etc. - it all fits. It's an awesome, heavy yielding, hardy plant - I'm surprised more people aren't growing it.

There is a semantic question here -- I was under the impression that "bubblegum" is a sativa-dominant strain from Serious; "bubblelicious" is an indica-dominant from Nirvana with some unknown lineage. The "even canopy" formation and rapid ascension of the side branches fits the indica-dom mold better than sativa.

Sorry if that was really confusing... but hey, I'm just happy to find another bubble..(licious...gum?) grower out there with probably the same beans I have. Especially one with bomb-ass buds to show -- yummy!
