Bubble Kush Auto/RQS

xgrowbertx Second time I'm trying to grow the Bubble Kush. Last time, it just stopped growing and died around day 10 with only 4 leaves. This time, I was still skeptical, but the plant looked a lot better. So fingers crossed and let's hope for the best.

xgrowbertx I think, we're over the hump: at around Day 10, the speed of growth really picked up and I started watering with BioBizz Bio-Grow. Since then, every day there is significant growth to be seen, so I'm very optimistic about this grow.

xgrowbertx This week saw some pretty good growth. Started with LST to try and create an even canopy and give more to more potential bud sites. I started to tie it down pretty straight, while adjusting the binds in the following days to spread the plant out even more.

xgrowbertx The plant is recovering super fast from every LST adjustment, and I’m constantly readjusting and trying to spread it out further. Unfortunately, I broke off one branch and damaged another (which I taped – worked in a past grow, let’s see if it works again), but I’m still pretty happy with the process and the new branches emerging and getting strong. I’m starting now to not tie the branches down as much, but guide them more so they don’t overlap each other as much. Update a couple of days later: the damaged branch had to be taken off, but on Day 29, I’m pretty confident about the results of the LST. Also, it looks like flower stages has started off. Have just cut some fan leaves that overshadowed bud sites, so now the light should reach them equally.

xgrowbertx The plant has started to flower this week and a slight, sweet smell was perceivable towards the end of the week. The LST has shown the desired effect, and the plant developed with a level field of green. On day 35, I've cut the largest fan leaves since some of them overshadowed some of the bud sites. Plant was a bit droopy after, but had recovered by the next day.

xgrowbertx The flowering stage went into full effect this week and saw some serious progress. Overall, the plant is really stretching and growing at a fast pace, I really like watching her. Towards the end of the week I defoliated her and also trimmed off smaller bus to allow better air flow and for the light to reach all of the bud sites I want to focus on. The LST really paid off, as I now have multiple bigger colas that are developing really nice.

xgrowbertx The plant grow slightly in size, but the main progress was noticeable in the bud sites, which are getting fatter by the day. All of them have gained a lot of pistils and the leaves are getting frostier and frostier. Mid-week, I decided to do some trimming of larger fan leaves, to allow the light to reach all of the buds and also cut some of the smaller popcorn buds further down. Pretty happy with the grow and looking forward to the next couple of weeks and watching the plant grow and flower further.
