BubbleGum Auto

PsicoOne The soil I'm using for this grow is from a batch from last November or December when the harvest was. After that, I removed the big roots and tore everything else into small pieces and put it in an airtight box along with some other old soil. I let the soil sit there for 3-6 months. Additionally, I mix in dried and finely shredded banana peels (organic of course, nothing sprayed) and dried clover. Occasionally, I pour some leftover compost tea onto the old soil and occasionally turn everything over. It all decomposes in those few months and the soil can be reused. But you shouldn't add too much worm humus then. Day 1 - I let the little one stay in its soaking tab for another day and start preparing the soil. For the 20L Airpot, I use old soil, about 19L, then add 500ml of worm humus and 500ml of perlite. As an extra, I mix in 80g of Silicium Flash and 5g of mycorrhiza into the soil. I fill the Airpot about 1/3 with this mix, then mix the remaining soil with 100g of Startrex and fill the pot. I also press in 1 of 2 organic tabs into the pot. I mark the spot where the tab is with a small sign; the second one will be placed opposite but only in week 2 or 3. Day 2 - Today Miss Bubblegum is going into her final pot that I roughly filled yesterday. Now I make a fist-deep and wide hole in this pot, which I fill with fresh Light Mix, about just a handful. The roots are supposed to grow in there first so they don't burn if my old soil is too strong. Then, I make a small hole in the Light Mix for the soaking tab to fit in, and dust the whole thing just like the soaking tab with mycorrhiza and carefully insert the tab since the root is already out. After that, I water it with a mix of 1L of water with 10ml of Orgatrex, 1g of Bactrex, and 0.3ml of CalMag. I water the first liter close to the plant and not at the edge so the root follows the moisture; starting from week 2, I will only water the edge and not near the stem anymore. I also give the young lady a protective dome because the air is currently very dry. Day 6 - Today, I'm giving water directly at the stem, 300ml of a solution made from 1L of water with 4ml of Rootjuice and 2ml of Alfa Boost.

PsicoOne The second week is also going smoothly, and the upcoming weeks could be good for its growth since the temperature in the tent averages around 28°C and the humidity is at 50%, which could be a bit higher, but the plant still has the bell placed over it. Day 9 - I give the plant 1L of water with 4ml of Root-Juice and 0.5ml of Calmag. This time, I water a bit further away from the stem and only a small sip, about 100ml, directly at the stem. Day 10 - I start to regularly mist the plant every 4-5 days with a solution of 250ml of water and 2.5ml of Alfa Boost. I will continue this until the beginning of flowering, from then on the dosage will be increased but only until the end of flowering week 2 at most. Day 13 - Before I give water, I will plant some clover today. I make a roughly 2cm deep trench only at the edge of the pot and sprinkle just a little of the clover seeds in it. Then everything is covered with soil and watered with a solution of 1L of water, 0.5ml of Calmag, and 2ml of Alfa Boost. From now on, I will only water around the outer edge of the pot to encourage the roots to grow outward.

PsicoOne And even in the 3rd week, everything is in order. Well, the humidity could be higher, but I don't have any extra equipment for that and have to live with the climate in my region. But I think it will work out fine again. Day 15 - Today I’m adding the second Bio Tab to the soil and giving 1L of water with 0.5ml CalMag. Day 19 - Today I’m removing the bottom two shoots along with the leaves from the young lady, as I almost always do. I've only rarely had the first two shoots be very strong. Additionally, I'm giving her 1L of water with 2ml Alfa Boost.

PsicoOne Auch Woche 4 verläuft ohne ein Problem, die Blätter sind sauber gewachsen und weisen keine Mängel auf. Hoffe mal das läuft alles weiter so, wobei für die nächste Woche eine sehr heiße Periode vorher gesagt wurde, was zu einer Herausforderung wird. Außentemperaturen von Tagsüber 32°C und Nachts 25°C. Mal schauen wie lange es so Heiß bleibt oder ob ich die Pflanzen noch in den 12/12 Rhythmus schicke. Und wo wir gerade beim Thema Rhythmus sind, die Bubblegum stand von Tag 21 bis 23 unter Dauerbeleuchtung da ich zwei andere Ladys geerntet habe, ich habe das hier jetzt nur bei GrowDiaries nicht im Lichtzyklus geändert weil es kein Dauerzustand in der ganzen Woche ist. 22. Tag - Heute bekommt sie wieder 1L Wasser (PH 6,28) und ich entferne ihre obersten zwei Sonnensegel um mehr Licht auf die unteren Triebe zu bekommen.. 25. Tag - Sie bekommt wieder 1L Wasser den PH Wert habe ich auf 6,26 angeglichen. 28. Tag - Heute gibt es ein bisschen extra Futter und die gießmenge wird erhöht. Sie bekommt heute 1,5L Wasser (PH 6,28) mit 3ml Alfa Boost und 0,5ml CalMag.. Außerdem wird sie noch mit einer Lösung aus 250ml Wasser und 2,5ml Alfa Boost besprüht.

PsicoOne This week it not only got very hot and humid in my area, but my Bubblegum is also starting to bloom on day 31. The last Bubblegum went into bloom on day 29, which makes me very happy. There's only one solution against the heat: buy an air conditioner, and luckily there was one at the local hardware store for 249 euros, but I love my flowers and I also like to sleep cool, so it's killing two birds with one stone. Day 29 - I'm using "super cropping" and breaking the main stem inside. Nothing more, I just want the stem to become more stable at that point; besides, the side branches can try to catch up. Day 31 - Today is bloom day 1 for me. Today, I'm applying "super cropping" above the last break point. Day 32 - There are 2L of water (pH 6.26). Day 33 - I'm removing four sun leaves from the main stem so that more light reaches the side branches and they might catch up to the main stem. Day 35 - Today, I'm giving a little extra food, and she's getting 2L of water with 8ml Alfaboost and 0.6ml CalMag (pH 6.28). I'm also removing a few branches that are too low since they probably won't make it up.

PsicoOne This week went amazingly well despite the extreme heat at the end of it. In my area, it reached 37°C outside, and my new air conditioner struggled to keep the grow tent at 30°C. Additionally, I turned the light down to 50% for a few hours a day to combat the heat. I've now set the light cycle to 12/12 for the rest of the summer because it’s just too warm in my attic apartment. Day 36 - Today it got rough, and I broke all the side branches (super cropping/Kyle Kushman Chiropractic). After that, I gave the plant a shower and sprayed it with a solution of 1L water and 20ml Alfa Boost. Day 38 - I'm removing a few fan leaves to get more light to the lower branches. Day 39 - Today I'm removing the clover and filling the pot with my soil mix, then digging a 5cm deep hole where I’ll bury a capsule that’s supposed to work against fungus gnats for 4 weeks while also stimulating the plant. For a 20-liter pot, you're supposed to use 4 capsules, but I'm not familiar with it, so I'm being cautious and sticking with one. Then I’ll give it 2L of water with 20ml Bio PK 5-8 (pH 6.15). Day 40 - Due to the upcoming heatwave, I'm setting my light cycle to 12/12. Day 42 - Today, I'm just giving 2L of water (pH 6.30).

PsicoOne Already shortly after the start of the week, there's the first problem. I discovered a single thrip on one of the neighboring plants (Pineapple Express by Fast Buds). I sprayed all the plants with a water and neem oil mixture just to be safe, especially from underneath, so those little pests wouldn't spread further. But it remained just that one; maybe I should have just removed the leaf with the thrip instead of doing anything else. This week, I also noticed the first smell of bubblegum. I don't know if "bubblegum" is an accurate description, but I wouldn't know how else to describe it. Generally, I would say the strain is very gassy, with a fruity and sweet gas. It's also a totally inconspicuous strain in terms of smell; no one would recognize it as cannabis just by the scent. Day 43 - Today, I removed a few very low-lying shoots that weren't going to make it up anyway, and the stretch wasn't particularly large with my last bubblegum either; however, the last one was significantly bushier. Day 44 - It's flowering day 14, and today there was the water + neem oil shower. I didn't really want to do it this late, but I'd prefer that over having my whole tent infested and risking future plants. Day 45 - The soil was fed again with 2L of water (pH 6.14) with 40ml of Orgatrex and 2g of Bactrex. Day 48 - Today, just 2L of water (pH 6.29). It shows that it has a bit too much nitrogen; I should have only given it one liter of the solution three days ago. Day 49 - I'm resetting the light cycle to 18/6. The weather forecast looks pretty good for my region for the near future, meaning no 30°C, and the humidity should also drop a bit.

PsicoOne Yeah, it's really not going well, but at least I know what I did wrong. I didn't know that you shouldn't necessarily combine Silicium Flash with Orgatrex. I didn't realize that; the packaging for Silicium Flash doesn't mention it, but it's in the PDF from Bio Tabs, I just missed it. Well, it is what it is now, and I can only hope that the plant still makes it to the finish line, but there won't be any significant yield anymore. Day 50 - There’s 2L of water (pH 6.30) Day 54 - 1L of water without adjusting the pH, so it should be around pH 7.30, which is usually how it comes from my tap. Because of the still quite high temperatures, I also let the tap water run a bit first, since the pipes are really warmed up, and the first half-liter that comes out of the tap is about 24-25°C. Day 57 - 2L of water (pH 6.35)

PsicoOne Unfortunately, she won't be with us much longer, but I messed it up. She's only getting water now, but she's not taking it in very well this week either. Day 62 - Today she's getting 250ml of water with nematodes, and then it's all flushed again with 750ml of water (pH 6.35).

PsicoOne I’ve decided that this is her last week. The trichomes are almost all milky, she could really handle another week, but the weather service is already announcing another hot period, so I’d rather get the harvest in safely even if it won’t be much this time. But I know where my mistakes were (thanks again to Mia from Bio Tabs) and I definitely won’t make those again. Day 64 - 1L water (pH 6.35) Day 66 - 2L water (pH 6.35) also, I defoliated the plant again and removed all the dry leaves Day 69 - 2L water (pH 6.35) Day 71 - Harvest

PsicoOne Tja ich hab es halt versaut, aber Versuch macht Klug. Ich schätze das Nassgewicht der Buds auf ca. 71g, getrocknet blieben dann noch 23,9g über. Damit mir bei der Hitze nicht wieder die Ernte verschimmelt hab ich sie auch etwas trockener werden lassen als ich es mag. Aber der Geschmack ist wirklich gut, besser als meine letzte die mir zwar 69g Trocken beschert hat aber nicht ganz so ein intensives Aroma. Um so mehr ärgert es mich das ich es versaut hab.
