Bubblelicious Auto

Bubblelicious Auto diary. Hello all, i'm back growing again after a long break, stuff got in the way of me pursuing my love of ganja cultivation, but i'm back and i fired up the tent and will be looking forward to sharing and propagating over the coming months. I'm growing this strain for its high CBD properties. Aleviates stress etc. Will be making some healing salves from the leaves and jucing the extract for a healthy intake of the cannabidiols and chlorophyll, hoping it to effect a few of my personal health botherations, also someone i know has cancer and so i chose to grow this strain on the possibility that it may help her condition as she goes through chemo. cheers furnur) Into soak for 12 Hours in a water and 3% h202 solution. Dark cupboard. Strain info https://www.seedsman.com/en/auto-bubblelicious-feminised-seeds-5 https://www.nirvanashop.com/marijuana-seeds/813-bubblelicious-autoflower.html 18/9

5 seeds took, now under 600w led veg light no nutes just water until they settle in. Light Schedule is 18/6

Propagated 5 seeds but one didn't make it, the other 4 are going well.

Wk 4 transfered to 10ltr fabric pots with Bio Bizz All Mix and a BioBizz Top Soil to prevent any transplant shock, took well. Started a lite Seaweed/Kelp feed with Algomic and a couple of drops of Superthrive. Soil mix: BioBizz All Mix, BioBizz Lite Top soil, Vitalink Bat Guano and Mykos Mycorrhizal Had good results with this combination before so will continue with it.

Getting a growth spurt on switched to flower mode on the 600w led, installed the extractor and carbon filter as it's getting to smell a little fruity even at this stage. Lite feed in this early stage with the listed nutes, seem to be responding well. 17/10 Defoliated today and made a CBD smoothie from the lower canopy with almonds, apple, lemon and lime, the leaves were very fresh, it was pretty nice. Looking forward to the next defoliation, there are many health beenefits using all of the cannabis plant so i'm making the most of her as the grow progresses. https://www.medicaljane.com/category/cannabis-classroom/consuming-cannabis/juicing/#introduction-to-juicing-cannabis

Happier with how they are going this week, they are developing well, decided not to interfere with them, so not going to top but will lollipop when needed, i want to encourage some main stem colas and see her in her natural state, i'm interested in how tall they will grow, supposedly about a meter in hight.

27/10 They have just come into flower over the last 2 days, with what appears to be quite fast paced growth. Time to incorporate the next stage nutrient schedule and add Bio Bizz Top Max and Bloom to the feed. Expecting the flowering stretch phase any day now. I haven't done any training or topping in this grow as i want to see them in their natural state but will be doing some defoliation soon so as to get more light to the flowering bud sights. Plants height at 18". Nutrients 2 Ltrs carbon filtered water per plant (8ltrs) every 3 days (Tap water filtered to take out the chlorine, flouride and heavey metals) Lite application of nutes only 0.5ml per ltr of each product pH 6 - EC 250ppm 29/10 Increased height by 6" over 3 days, the tallest now being 24" (61cm) 1/11 Defoliation of lower canopy, took away unessessary growth, directing more energy to the flowering colas

They have reached approx 96cm (38"), recovered well from the defoliation, didn't appear to cause any stress. Started a timelapse with a cam i put into the tent to monitor growth, will be interesting to see the flowering period as they grow over the next few weeks, i will post that movie, all going well, on the final week before harvest. This week I slightly increased nutrient strength by .25ml as flowering progresses. The 8 Ltr feed pH was a little low at 5.5pH used some Silica + pH-UP to increase it to 6pH. The led light is at it maximum height in the tent now, so i'm hoping, as anticipated, that the four Bubblelicious Auto's will slow down their stretch and settle into just developing flowers and bud. The smell is certainly that of what is described in other reviews and grows, in the mid eveining it released sweet aromas of Bubblegum, comparable to Bubblelicious gum, it really is a nice aroma, definitely my favourite so far. Used my slow juicer on the defoliated leaves and put them into a Bubblelicious CBD Green Juice, the bag of cut ganja leaf supplied 3 x 50ml shots of CBD cannabis juice extract that was utilised over 3 days. CBD Green Juice Ingredience; Apple Celery Spinach Ginger Lemon Cucumber 50ml Bubblelicious CBD Leaf Extract A delicious healthy green juice, rich in natural enzymes, chlorophyll and cannabidiols, easily prepared with the slow masticating juicer. See Movie attached.

The four Bubblicious Autos have maxed the tent at 1.14 meters high this week, buds are slowly developing, I have taken out the Biogrow and concentrated on the Bloom and Top Max + added some CalMag. Surprisingly the late starter, the smallest runt at the start of the grow in a narrower 10ltr pot is taller than the ones in the larger wider 16ltr pots . Keeping the feed lite on these sensitive autos, adding 4ml of each flowering nutrient into an 8ltr filled bucket, 2ltrs for each plant every 3 days seems to be adequate. I dont want to over feed or over water, this is the right balance so far.

Into week 10, well past the estimated 6 - 8 weeks to harvest time from the online stats, looks like i have a few more weeks to go until they are ready. There has been some expected leaf drop from the lower canopy, the signs of it autumning off are appearing, but all is going well and the buds are developing nicely so far. I started a timelapse a couple of weeks ago in the tent and i've left it to run untill the end of the grow, will be interesting to see how it turns out, i'll upload that on the harvest page. 20/11 Had a slight misshap as i was inspecting the plants and bent a stem over 😱 I utilized two matchsticks and some masking tape to splint it up again, the repair is holding nicely 😬 I've documented the repair and uploaded the video for posterity. 23/11 Fed 2 plants 1/4 tsp molasses 1ltr filtered water @6pH, ec200 with just molasses, just to see if there is any positive effect. Trichomes are just starting to appear. Defoliated the lower canopy, cutting all the smaller buds not getting any light and upper fan leaves to allow more light and energy to hit the main buds.

Radical defoliation this week to get all energy and light to the main nugs. Incorporated some Organic Molasses into the feed to sweeten and fatten up the buds. I'm definitely too close to the lights with this grow, they grew taller than i expected but i didn't top this grow, i wanted it to be more freestyle and natural but my small space (1mx1.2m) dictates otherwise, i will definitely be cropping, topping and mainlining in the next grow, one plant has passed the light and the last time i suppercropped i bust a branch that was irrepairable so i've left them to do their thing till harvest.

Colas have increased in size, still looking to develop more mass, trichome production does not seem as abundant as some grows i have done but this strain has only an 8% THC content and a higher CBD ratio. Increased nutes strength by .25 pml to .75 pml. Pistols are still standing upright so no sign of them being ready for harvest, will be studying the trichomes for any amber changes in the next week of flower. The fragrance is getting much stronger and is very fruity and pleasant, unlike most ganja aromas that can be strong and dank, this grow has a very uplifting fresh Bubblelicious scent.

Cut out all the nitrogen from the Biogrow and Algamic nutes, the plants are well into the late stages of flower, expecting to be flushing later this the week, leaves are yellowing as the plants get to the end of their life, however the buds are getting to be a respectable size. I couldn't resist and had a pre-harvest taster, cut some of her bottom bud, dried and decarboxylated them in the oven, toked in my new 8" bong. Needless to say i was very happy with the results. Pleased with this strain alot so far. 12 /12 Administered the ladies a Molasses flush. 1 tsp Molasses, 8 ltrs filtered water, 2 ltrs per plant.

Ready for harvest, chopping this week. Flushed with molasses water for 6 days. Lost most of the fan leaves, yellowing off and some heavy reds in the leaf at the end of flower. Nice toke, OG flavour

6 Jan 2020 Final Harvest the buds are fragrant and zesty and have a very sticky resin touch. Now into jars to cure. The four Bubblelicious Autos have returned a respectable amount of ganja at 24oz wet. 185g Dry / 6.5oz
