Day 80 from seed for Black Gum. Okay, I’ll admit this plant is starting to look good! If you recall, I was pairing it with another plant which has since been flowered - this one stayed behind in the veg. tent. At the beginning, Black Gum struggled a bit. I’ve just been giving water as it works its way through amendment. One more week of veg. and then I am going to move this beauty to the flower tent.
@@BeanswithPork, thx mate that make perfect sense. I'm well aware (well, as a layman can be) of the air pollution outside (I live in South East Asia). I will definitely try the bud wash some time soon even though I grow in a sealed and controlled environment.
@TheUsualSuspect, not stupid, as its a counter intuitive and a newer step in harvest. I listed my containers in the description - first lemon juice/baking soda/room temp water, and then a container of just room temperature water. I say dip and swirl because you aren’t trying to scrub trichomes off. But, the trichomes don’t just fall off either otherwise rain and storms would wash THC away.
If you search online there are some that wash with warm or cold water, and some use a hydrogen peroxide mix. I’m approaching it conservatively so just two containers that aren’t harsh.
Haven’t tried it on outdoor bud yet, but I bet you’d be surprised by the amount of mold/dirt/dust/particles are floating around outside.
@@BeanswithPork, thx for educating me 🙏 and sorry for being a so retarded student, but I assume dip in containers with water?
I was taught that the only stupid question is the one not asked 🙃
Is this Black Gum strain the same as BlackBerry Gum?
Also, may I ask why some growers veg for 14 weeks and others 2 weeks? Is it due to personal preference, strain, plant size, grow medium, or..?
Myself, I veg 4-6 weeks usually, I only grows in hydroponics cause it suits me best.
@@BeanswithPork, thx for clarifying. Yes, I remember a couple of plants I grew few years ago, they were autos but took 24 weeks to finish. Must have been some seeds that been dipped in gamma rays or something. lol
First n last time I grew autos...
@TheUsualSuspect, basically all the things you listed. This plant happened to take X number of weeks to get to a point where it was big and I had room, with constant rotation I don’t try to be consistent and just adjust based on my current grows.
No, this strain is Black Domina x BubbleGum.
Excellent photography and obviously the plants are looking great as well. The leaf growth shouldnt be an issue as long as the bud sites have access to some light. Going to follow along and I wish you a great harvest!
