Thanks bro. It's got an awesome floral and slightly orange smell already. Tokes so smooth, burns evenly and ash is soft and uniformly pale-grey. mmmmmm :weed:

NLX is a Northern Lights crossed with White Widow. Wasn't my top choice when I went clone-shopping, but now I have no regrets at all :D

you're gonna have an awesome weekend my friend! maybe you can harvest one after 24 hours of darkness and the rest after 48 to see if there's a difference? I'm gonna leave mine another week or so under the light. The rest of the NLX probably stay longer than the Bubblegum, until they get that golden glisten from all the amber trich's and more CBD.

i honestly have no idea about hash yields. I just figure whatever it is, it beats throwing away all the beautiful trim and popcorn buds. And you can keep the hash tucked away for the dry times :leaf:

hi mate,
i will grow in coco (hand watering ) with 20%worm casts and i'll only using biobizz nutes(bloom,grow,topmax)).there is already microherd in wormcasts.

i also want to increase microherd and microacivity by using advanced nutrients.tarantula,vodoo or piranha,which is the best to add micro herd ??

which one should i buy to add microherd and microactivity that would break my organic nutes down ?

They're all different. Piranha is fungi, Tarantula and Voodoo Juice are bacteria. Between the latter two I'd pick Tarantula.

If I had to get just one though it would be Piranha. But I'll be using that as well as Tarantula with the Bio Bizz line.

Also depends on what bags you are using and what kind of trim you got. I say a good estimate with nice trim is 7-10 grams of hash out of a 100 grams of trim.

Harvested one of the Bubblegum plants 3 days ago.

Unfortunately I had to chop the top of the main cola off due to light burn. But it's all good :bigjoint:





Left the other 8 plants under the HPS which I will unplug tonight.

After that I'll harvest 2 plants every day to see what difference, if any, there is in harvesting after 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours of darkness and slightly lower temps.

Stay tuned ;)

hey bro nice buds i love them i just got 10 bubblegum clone a couple days ago do they stink a lot when they are budding

yeah they stink a fair bit; especially during lights-out. I grew 5 Bubblegum and 5 NLX and I swear I could only smell the Bubblegums in my room.

The smell changes significantly when curing. definitely not the same smell as when they were flowering. I started curing today and it's already got a sweet, minty odor. I'm sure this will change with curing but so far I like it :weed: not very bubblegummy though...

Nah I got them from clones.

I originally thought that they were grown from THSeeds but it turns out they're from Serious Seeds. The same grower also had AK-47 and White Russian so I'm pretty sure they're from Serious.

i hear you can't go wrong with Serious or THSeeds, both phenomenal at what they do and the plants are supposed to be perfect!! i gotta get some of those too...and you ever hear bout this 12/12 from seed method, i guess it's sorda new and there's not alot of info on it, i think i'm gonna try it this go round!

Yeah THSeeds have got a lot more variety though. But all Serious strains are classics. Might do AK-47 and/or White Russian next.

I got a 10-pack of Dutch Passion feminized Flo (DJ Short) and a 5-pack of Magus Genetics' Warlock. Not sure when i'm gonna have the time to grow them though :( clones are definitely less stress but you have less variety and control over the phenotypes you want. Ideally I'd have two grow rooms but for now clones are just much easier with one. Maybe after the summer... My plan is to get another Homebox but this time the XL Silver and step it up to a 600w. I'll keep my current one for vegging/cloning with a few CFLs.

In any case I'm really looking forward to my next grow. Organic nutes, UVB lights, supercropping, should be fun :weed:
