Both girls growing strong 👌 I can already tell I will have problem picking which one to mature 😩
Fed 50ml of RO water with some Rhizotonic to help the root development
Added a few drops of Orca to introduce Bennies to the substrate
PPFD at plant level is kept at 150 giving the DLI of 9.72
Hope she will grow strong 👏
Update Day 5 - 20/10/2024
Feeding 50ml of 0.7EC every day
PPFD 200 DLI 13
VPD 0.64kPa
30/10/2024 Day 10 Update
Out of two phenos I decided to put #1 in the 25L container where it will grow all the way to harvest
Increased PPFD to 350 giving the DLI of 22.5
VPD is kept at 0.7kPA during the day and 0.5kPa during the night
Increased the EC to 1.0 and introduced silicate and Cannazym into the mix
6/11/2024 (day 17) Update:
Bubblegum is the strongest girl in the tent
growing lush and big every time I look seems to be bigger 😂
Increased light intensity to ~450PPFD giving DLI of 29
Feeding at EC 1.1
Next week plan to switch to autofeed
12/11/2024 - day 23
2 days ago I have switched to auto feed and topped after doing a very light defoliation to expose some of the growth
The bubblegum took it the best out of the plants in the tent, got just some leaf folding as a shock of the treatment and increased EC to 1.5
I decided to keep the PPFD at the same level (450) and decrease the humidity by 5% to increase the transpiration
Hopefully the transition will go smooth 🙏
24/11/2024 - day 35
Bubble gum is massive, it slowly taking over the tent
The growth doesn't stop, feels like I could defoliate it every day
6 more tops has been take off
The following week will be the last one before 12/12 switch
PPFD has been changed to 600
08/12/2024 - Day 7 (day 49)
My apologies for not being able to do last week update in result there is one week of veg lacking
Two days ago I did some major defoliation, it failed they are even more bushy already
Some lower growth shown lacking some nitrogen, increased the feed from 1.6 to 1.8 EC
The tent uses 20L of mix every 48h
Bubble gum is massive. It reminds me one of these mountain hedges where you can't even get to see what is inside
Defoliation doesn't do anything to her. She just keeps on replacing one leaf with three. Two days ago removed about 50 leaves off her and today... well you can see for yourself
LST did enable it allowing to keep it short and wide spread. It doubled the height within a week of stretch
So far problem free with slight yellowing on the tips which might be caused by a salt buildup
14/12/2024 - Day 13 (day 55)
Bubble gum Together with Cookies are crushing their sister with a weird name of Bruce that grows between them.
Great news is that all the girls are actually girls and growing strong with very minor Nitrogen problems
Decided to decrease the humidity to a healthy ambient 55% while the tent holds a steady 60% due to transpiration
Keeping the EC at 1.8 it seems to work best
22/12/2024 - Day 20 (day 62)
Slowly decreasing the humidity now down to 60%
Added PK13/14 to feed increasing the EC to 2.2
Did a few defoliations but they bounce right back
Tomorrow will be time for lollipopping and they will stay in that form all the way till harvest
Bibblegum is really big with many bud sites
I am impressed how even small branches reached the top of canopy in search of light
Hopefully the stretch phase is over
29/12/2024 - Day 27 (day 69)
Slowly decreasing the humidity now down to 55%
Feeding at EC 2.2. Same formula
I have removed the foliage from the bottom and inside of the canopy as well as some bigger fan leaves
Seems that stretch on the Bubblegum is finally got to stop
Defoliation exposed multiple bud sites. I am really looking forward to how they develop
The smell is already quite intensive and gasy. It has a very thick undertone smell of some sort of citrus

The smell is already quite intensive and gasy. It has a very thick undertone smell of some sort of citrus
Other than buds being a bit thicker no change
Sugar leaves curling slightly due to clear trichomes focusing light (heat stress)
12/01/2025 - Day 41 (day 83)
Feeding at EC 2
Reduced humidity to 50%

Shows some nitrogen toxicity
19/01/2025 - Day 48 (day 90)
Feeding at EC 1.9
Reduced humidity to 50%
The smell is pure gas. It has a very thick undertone smell of some sort of citrus
Other than buds being a bit thicker no change
02/02/2025 - Day 62 (day 104)
I skipped last week update as there wasn't much to see other than a little bit of thicker buds
Orange hair starts popping up and slight fade begin to appear on the leaves
The smell is just out of this world. I am not even sure anymore which one of the three in the tent is the guilty one, might be all three. Whole apartment smell like weed and the filter doesn't do a very good job at filtering the smell anymore.
Buds are very dense and heavy but still appear to get bigger and bigger to the point I am starting to worry a little about potential mold. The still have a few weeks to go.
I guess we will see.
When it comes to grow conditions not much have changed
09/02/2025 - Day 69 (day 111)
Bubblegum OG is getting close to harvest. Maybe a week or two more.
Most trichomes are clear but looking for some more amber on this one, about 20%.
The smell is amazing, the fruity undertones really start to show
Stopped feeding to give her a end of life flush
17.02.2025 - Harvest day
Plant has been cut and hung as whole
Did some big leaf trim and put her inside a tent
Drying in 16C and 55% rH
The smell is really intensive and the beds are frosty and sticky
