This was a bomb grow Marty!! I came to this thread late but I've seen all the pics. I just started a grow from seeds on Halloween '12 hope to veg six weeks and flower 6 to 8 as I have 4 different strains. Hopefully I will have near your level of yield. They budded up beautifully!! I gotta start a thread on my babies. Stay tuned...

Welllll just so happens they felt dry enough for the curing so just filled a couple jars but....

Had to roll a fatty quick haha now sparking this smells incredible its a mix of my bubble gum and jeckel

And as for nutes I used old timer nutes and bloom there's a picture back a few pages

Good stuff Marty. Did you trim that first one in the pot? How did you catch the small leaves falling onto the soil and floor?

Have enjoyed following this report. I'd guess you'll end up with about 50% of wet weight. A nice stash to have!

So what is next?

First of Marty I have to say good job bro! I want to try some of that bubblegum remember! lol. Have to let me know what your final dry weight was.

Secondly make some bubble hash out of that shit! You will be happy you did lol.

I'm 10 days away from chopping my first girl! wahoo!

Marty you are amazing for doing this and also for putting it up and keeping us posted too, this is very helpful dude as i just read all from start to here and now, i will be starting my grow and its so awesome to see you take advantage of your circumstances with space as i have the same issue but i shall learn from your work and let you know how i go and ask you for advice as i go.
Hope the smoke is amazing!! B)

i posted way early in this thread and reviewing it now gives me hope for my two ladies and my own cfl setup!! they are only in the second week of bloom but they are covered in trichs and just keep looking lovelier everyday. its my first grow, i have extensive amount of photos and journal notes so maybe i will get motivated and post my own success.seeing the monsters you put out i have nothing but great expectations now because we have basically the same setup and routine. not the same plants but well played Martybutch...

Yo slimShady! Cheers for the kind words man! Im glad that this has helped you out alot.. im sure if u do follow what i have done you WILL have bud at the end ANd i will be more than happy to advise you when ever needed Hey iratika, Love that u will be doing basically the same as me. Doing it with a budget give u so much more of a satisfaction once u have reached the end. I will be looking forward to seeing how u have all your setup.. And how ya girls will grow Be sure to post the link here if u set up a grow log. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So for the last post of this grow for me... Final dry weight... The jars have been curing for 2 weeeks now and have a reached a great smoking dryness. I have been rather bad with my dipping into the jars haha but this was only to really experience first hand the progression of the weed as the curing goes on... At this moment in time i have 24 Grams combined of both plants.. But have easily smoke about another 12 grams.. To round it up simply i deffinitly had over 1 1/2 oz Which for me was amazing as these plants were so small and cute but both yielded just under an oz The Bubblegum smoke is so good!! it has such a sweet sugary stench that u can taste so clearly in a joint im very impressed with this stuff very potent that shit puts me to sleep to then wake up stoned! haha cant ask for more.. My other plant (The topped plant) Jeckel is clearly a much less potent strain and i beleive to be simply a bad genetic plant.. It has all the look of decent bud but lacks trichomes on a large scale... But still this stuff gets me high and has a lovely peppery smell would be the shit on steak! haha but over all not the best at all.. Standard commercial. Once again thanks for following and thanks for all the kind words and gerneral chat.. Cheers you guys!!

Well done Marty. You stuck it through and produced some good weed. A fine 1st indoor effort. Great journal too.

I'll be chopping my baby within a week or 2 so am planning my next grow now. Looking to stay CFL but go coco. How about yourself?

Just read this whole thread and I'd have to say im very very impressed. Job well done bro. I'm just about to finish up my first grow and I'm gonna use this as a guide to my second.
Once again awesome job. Can't wait to see what you do next.

I am unsure on the strains as they where all bagseed besides the one girl i know is from a bubblegum strain..It even smells like sweets! Its petty fun watching 2 main colas forming its strange that its that simple to double a top cola...amazing!

Haha yeah i will have mixed feelings when the time comes to chop! Its been great tending to these girls but it is getting a bit much now the girlfriend haaates it! My camera i have been using is actually my phone! its been doing really well and i will try get some great trichome pictures next time around



Yeah it more than likely is a deficiency but the growth has been fine nothing seems effected other than the colour of the leaves and stem.... But to be fair looks alot like your avatar picture

The bubblegum is a strain that has been past through my friend, hes been growing it a while i was just lucky to get a seed

My avatar is a blue widow I found here on RIU. Widow was the first headies I ever smoked and is still a personal fav and BB just has that amazing flavor that goes so well with the berry pheno of WW that I snagged this pic. P deficiency will cause bud shrinkage, and stunted growth. Your bubblegum looks almost identical to mine. The leaf texture was the give away. I have Nirvana's right now. I need to put a link in my sig. I'm doing a CFL grow as well. Only 264 watts, but I have them placed a little closer to the plant. I also have some mint, blackberries, and basil in there. I've vegged one plant for 3 months, she's not huge, but thats because I'm still learning proper feeding schedules and she had a HUGE nute deficiency problem for at least 1.5 mos sadly. I've perked her up since then though, and Pinky (what I dubbed my bubblegum) is a very heavy feeder as well. I looked through this again but couldn't find it. How long did your bubblegum flower, and did you go by trichs when you cut, or breeder description? Thanks bud! Congrats on the harvest!

Great grow!
