Northern_Ent May 29: these two plants seem to be doing well.

Northern_Ent June 6: foliar spray with some FPJ. June 7: fast growth happening.

Northern_Ent June 24: supercropping to finish the manifold. Been a cool and wet June here. I think Bubble OG has been tied for the best performing plant in the veg stage during this cool weather. Tied with Gorilla Glue x White Widow.

Northern_Ent July 1: fast growth of 12 inches in one week. 👍 July 6: full foliar including Extreme Blend and Epsom salts. Trying to keep it green without much yellow but it’s growing so fast it’s hard to keep up.

Northern_Ent July 8; the giant Bubble OG manifold plant wasn’t a fluke as these two Bubble OGs are both big plants. July 10: grew almost 2 inches yesterday. And again overnight to July 11. Great weather this week and she is going to get big really fast. July 13: still doing almost 2 inches per day.

Northern_Ent Definitely a big strain. All three of these plants are quite tall even though they have been manifolded. Over last 10 days or so it has averaged just under 2 inches per day which is pretty much as fast I’ve seen (18 inches in 11 days).

Northern_Ent July 23: both of these are big plants. These were started from seed as was the big manifold, and clones were taken from that oldest plant. All good strong growers. July 26: switched to gypsum as a calcium source as Cal/Max has N that I don’t want at this stage. Dissolving 500 g in 1000 L to get 100 mg/L of calcium in solution. July 28: last night of 12:12 light cycle.

Northern_Ent Aug 22: fuck, the dreaded re-veg is definitely happening to these plants, GGxWW, and Jackberry. These badly affected plants are in one section of grow area. A second group of photoperiods also seem to have re-vegged but to a lesser extent, and a third group are just flowering and not re-vegging at all (the biggest plants are fine). I think I know what has happened here but it’s complicated and I need to consider it further before trying to explain it. It relates to light cycles this far north and the hours of darkness.

Northern_Ent Aug 30: with the still long days and warm weather these have re-vegged rather than continuing to flower. Damnit.

Northern_Ent Sep 6: like many other photoperiods this one was re-vegging with the recent warm weather and still long days. I cut off the growth tips trying to focus efforts on flowering. Sep 7: hailstorm did minor damage to these plants.

Northern_Ent Sep 24: these plants re-vegged. It’s partially my fault using a far red light at dusk but I blame it on the beavers who cut the power to the farm 8 times this summer. Eight times they fell a tree onto the power line including three times in one week. This happened twice at dusk and I couldn’t use the red light. With the natural light cycles, and two nights (3 days apart) where I couldn’t use the light, plus warm weather these plants started to re-veg cuz they thought summer was starting. Lesson is the far red light works as claimed but have a battery backup so that the light can be run at dusk as intended. If that had been done, and the plants had not re-vegged but just continued to flower, then these buds would look a lot different. Know for next time.

Northern_Ent Sep 29: these plants re-vegged but the buds are finally starting to thicken and put on some weight.

Northern_Ent Oct 4: some nice compact buds but most of them re-vegged. Doesn’t really matter as it all goes for hash anyway but there are some goofy looking flowers.

Northern_Ent Oct 7: first round of 630 g wet. Oct 14: took 120 g wet from a seeded branch.

Northern_Ent Oct 17: final round of 995 g wet for total of 1,745 g wet from two plants.

Northern_Ent Bubble OG is a cross of Bubble Gum, OG Kush, and Skunk #1 which makes for a strong and robust plant that can handle the climate here. The buds re-vegged after being force flowered in July rather than continuing to flower which slowed down harvest. It might be possible to grow this here without force flowering but I don’t think the buds would finish in time. Flowering always takes longer than advertised here. No problems with pests or bud rot. This is a really good strain that I’ll try again next year to see if I can do better.
