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!
I have no clue whos selling whos seeds, and it was to be exact 4,5-5 years ago I ordered from BDS, maybe back then they had another Bubblegum batch, who knows?! I read bout the bubble gum "history"...only thing I can say is that Nirvanas BG is indica dominant fer sure...gonna harvest in 5-7 days, day 62-64. I started 10 clones offa them ladies and 2 days after planting them in soil they have taken off...WOW! ;) Feel free to pop by my threads for more BG growing w many pics included...

Edit: Added some pics I just took before ladies went to sleep.

Hey how yas going, im new to all this stuff and having trouble finding information on what size lights to use with the size of space i have to grow, the room im using 900mmx900mmx 1500mm tall. there are 2 hyrdo shops i have been to one told me to use a 400w light as a 600 would be to big, but the other said a 600w light would be alright as long as i had good air circulation? only reason im looking at the 600w is that its nearly the same price and i can run a veg and bloom light of the one balista? any help would be mad cheers.

when he says you'll need good air circulation dont confuse that for meaning a couple of fans in there, he probably means some type of closed loop setup where cold air is being introduced and specificly warm air is being extracted, i have a 400w hps/mh that i dont need any circulation for, i leave the top 2 vents open in the tent and i just have to small 4" fans about 10" away from the bulb blowing directly on it and the temps have been about 55 at night and 78 with the lights on (thats lights on at night/off during day), 600w i imagine will be substantially hotter

Hey Fellow 400watters!
Wondering if anyone has seen this on their flowering females before (see arrows on attached images)?

They kinda look like seeds, but then again not really.
My initial reaction was that they were seeds forming, but I only see evidence of this on the one strain (I have 3 other strains in the same room), from pictures I've seen of seeded plants these don't quite match, and these odd pods aren't hard like a seed either.

From what I've seen a seeded female usually looks like a nice dark seed poking out of the hairy pod. The odd pods in this image are actually without hairs/trichromes - which is why they stand out a bit more, and the seed-like-looking-thing isn't busting out of a seam, but looks more like it's pushing through the top (if that makes sense).

I've harvested 3 of this strain from this batch - all had these odd formations - none have had a seed. I don't see any signs of a hermi/male (working from clones off known females anyway).

I'm prolly worrying over nothing...
Thoughts?

I had similar looking things on a previous grow, turned out to be nothing.
Those pics look like wierd bugs with loads of tenticles!

pretty sure its nothing, ive got some thats been partially harvested but the cola's looked like that, weird little single bladed leaves that seemed to curl into the calyx's, i grow bagseed exclusively so ive seen my share of herm's....pretty sure thats not one, all mine were easy to identify and showed verrry early on in flower

Those are just some funky calyxes -- notice how they all have twin pistils coming out just like any fem flower?

Sounds like those are in late flower? Last year, I had some weird growth sorta like that in the last couple weeks.

i would bet its seeds but nothing you can do about it now if it is. I would snip one off and dissect it.

Harvested my 400w organic 2 strain grow on the 18th. Now 10 days dry and curing. Total yield was 13.5 ounces.

White Widow and Mother's Finest

This was the last shot before harvest:





Here are a few shots of some selected buds. 10 days dry:

Looks fantastic smoove. Beyond words.
