about to start some bubblegum in super soil, but ive been reading that its a light feeder. should i just give it less super soil, or maybe mix in more roots into the super soil when i put it in the bottom of containers during transplant? any advice would be appreciated
 
I have a bubblegum now, heard from a few people its tempermental and that is a nice way to put it. she has been where in a pot about 10 days, and has been a tad annoying. All her sisters or most are taking nicely and doing great or good. She has displayed nitrogen def. then mg. dif. then filled back with color and perked up and now half droppy half happy.

Same mix and such as all her sisters, watering per girl varies a oz. or 2 by need / size. Bubblegum I have heard is one of those up there with TrainWreck ( btw my other problem girl ) they are awesome taste, buzz, and flavor, but also uber sensitive and picky.

I would but your soil with 25% or so perlite, and then just water til 10-15 % run off, let dry out good and then water fully til run off again, if you decide to feed nutes ( not your base soil but extra nutes ) cut the dose in 1/4 or so. I think 100% super soil wont be to hot, I mean cut it, and maybe buffer with a cheaper potting soil, but with proper good mixed soil, it may stunt growth for a day or 2 but not burn, also I alway always use Superthrive and a tad B-1 vitimen when trasnplaneting and it helps shock / stress a lot from what I have seen. ( BTW I know thrive is a vitamin blend/ mix with a lot of B's in it )

Good luck, just water throughly and then yeah get some nice run off and you should be fine......

Also depending on the base soil you choose be careful not to over water, as some of those bases hold more water then you would think even though the top 1-2 in. is nearly crusty dry. ( I.M.O. happy frog is the worst at this then O.F. and a few store brands like M.G. and Pro-Mix potting from Home Depot )

Much success and good luck,

Bubblegum will not be that happy with Super Soil in my experience.
Its not just a light feeder but doesn't take any type of stress.
You will just have to experiment.

Thanks for the advice you guys, I think Im just going to go plain roots and maybe throw in a little super soil mixed in with the roots at the bottom so theres not much super soil at all. I also have some chem dawg and white russian going too, and was going to throw a few of the chems outside in a friend's small backyard and let them do their thing, but now i think that im going to just do the white russian and chem dawg in my grow room and give him the bubblegum to try and grow outside. The reason for this is because I am a new grower (this one will be my 4th run) and this herb is for me and two other people and we cant really afford to have many problems and suffer yield loss or worse, so I would like to stick to strains that would like the super soil and also are fairly easy to grow. This way, if there are problems with the bubblegum, its already not my main concern if its outside so i can have fun trying to fix any problems and not stress if it was part of my main crop. Anyway, thanks again and Ill be posting some pics of this new grow along with some blue dream finishing up in my first try at super soil.
