This is a fine hybrid, just as advertised by ILGM. I harvested 2 wet oz of buds for edibles a few weeks early (12 weeks from seed), and it's not too-speedy. However, I expect the buds I just harvested at 16 weeks to be more-mature, stonier, and less-speedy. I know this because I've been taking samples from the plant, drying and smoking them for about a month now. I get that super-fruity hit every once-in-a-while, when I hit some trichomes that are at that perfect fruity-place :-)

Reviews. Nutrient
I am confident that this product will do the job fine, but mixing and proportioning is important. I used the approach described at cocoforcannabis dot com. I learned that the color of the leaves tell us whether or not we're giving the right amount of nutrients.
Reviews. Lamp
Very happy with this light, but I'm going to grow one plant at-a-time going-forward (that's all I need). I experimented with lux meter and lighting distance. Even though it doesn't give high light readings at 20" from the plant, I've decided that's a good minimum distance to avoid light stress. I had lots of problems with light stress because I started with 20 hr lights on. Going-forward, I'll stick to 18 hours of light (autos). This light is very-powerful for a single plant, but totally-adequate. I call this the perfect light for 1-4 well-trained plants, or one untrained plant.
Reviews. Tent
I love my tent, but going-forward I plan to only grow one plant. This 2x4 tent was too-big for one plant, but would be great for 2-4 untrained, or minimally-trained plants. I like the 6 foot height. I put it on top of a 4 foot high folding table, and it puts the plants at just the right height for me to attend to them and enjoy them. I'm learning a lot about managing temperature and humidity. Having a tent raises the temperature, especially if you have a powerful light. I'm still learning how to get the right balance and consistency.
Today was the big day for the first major harvest. This ILGM Bubblegum autoflower was my first grow in a long time, and I messed-up the training, and ended-up with a "bowl shaped" canopy. Today I harvested all of the buds that were higher than the lowest-one, so that my canopy would be even (see pics). This ended-up being about 2/3 of the plant. I'm going to let the rest go another week or two, compare the smoke and trichomes. Most of the trichomes are cloudy today, and about 20-30% amber. I've waited a long time (16 weeks) for this plant to mature, and taken some sample stashes the last few weeks, so I know the smoke is reasonably mature (not speedy...more stoney). Previously harvested about 2 oz (wet) for a batch of edibles about 2 weeks ago. The edibles are a bit speedy since I harvested early, but they do the job. I want to make some more edibles with what's left on the plant in a few weeks, see if the edibles are stonier and less speedy.

Looking good my fellow grower!! Currently growing the same strain (auto) from ILGM. I'm currently 21 days in. Please check out my grow journal and provide any feedback and tips from your grow if willing. This is my first time growing this strain so any insight from others is greatly appreciated!!!! I'm curious to hear your take on using a 3 gallon vs 5 gallon. What size tent and light are you using?

I believe this plants 100% producing over a ounce my bumble gum from ilgm was way smaller then this and produced a ounce i dont think the buds get too dense tho maybe the way i grew it with the lights.

Saw some brown tips...did a clean watering with no nutrients. Usually I add .5 mL liquid Fert to my pint of water each day. Some times I skip a day if the soil still seems moist. Gonna stop giving nutes to this Bubblegum, thinking it's in its final few weeks until harvest now.

A nice, rich skunk smell developing. Doesn't smell like Bubblegum, but the buds definitely remind me of bubble gum balls.
