My First Grow Journal While searching for old school Bubblegum

[Bubblegumfreak]

These are the lemon cherry cookies. Chopped 2 days ago, due to bananas.

[Bubblegumfreak]

Strawberry nuggets, also Herm, still in tent.

[Bubblegumfreak]

Bubblegum 1, Has signs of fading from
The bottom.

[Bubblegumfreak]

Bubblegum 2, no signs of fading or really anything out of the ordinary.

[Bubblegumfreak]

I am so confused with what is going on. The autos shouldn’t be done but close, the photos should have another 4 weeks or so.

[Bubblegumfreak]

Wel, I don’t know why but I just kind of threw the LCC in the corner to hang dry, followed by an intense cold snap that dropped the humidity too much and dried it out too fast. Might try to rehydrate, I’ll see how it smokes.

the strawberry nuggets is curing in my makeshift cannatrol, smells and tastes amazing. Smokes great, not all head like I feared.

So both of them were about 90 days.

The two bubblegum, well they are on day 61 since flip. About 9 weeks since flip or 6 weeks/44 days since pistols/flower started showing.

I’ll revisit the bubblegum after I see if the clones take, if not I’ll try again later this year.

I’ll still follow up on these two, when I harvest them and how Al that goes.

[Bubblegumfreak]

I harvested both bubblegum so they are all harvested.

The auto flowers are the only ones that Hermed.

Bubblegum 1 was more bright green and was cut about 3 weeks earlier than bubblegum 2, which was purple and had a different overall scent.

I only found a couple seeds in bubblegum 1, none in bubblegum 2.

I like the effects of bubblegum 1/2, they are a bit different but mostly the same.

However, this isn’t the strain I had many years ago. It’s not “fruity” or “in your face” enough. The effects are similar-ish.

Someone commented to me once that “fruity pebbles” might be what I’m after, but I don’t see that available anywhere except ILGM. Has anyone grown this from them? How did it turn out?

In short I think I’m going to stick to photos. Autos seem to herm much easier and it’s a shot in the dark if I want more. They are 3-4 weeks faster in general, however I’m not looking for fast, I’m looking for repeatable.

I wonder if I can take clones of each photo that I grow, leave them in a small solo cup( to keep them small) Or something under 18 hr light so they take up little space and resources. Grow them and if end up
Liking the strain then I can just keep that clone alive and use it as needed to prevent variations.

Overall though, they turned out alright. Still no roots on any of the clones I took during late flower. I’m about to put them back on 18 hrs for the original harvested mothers and see what happens.

@Bubblegumfreak

Wish I could tell you, but the rules prevent it. I can say breeder is Jaws with the cereal flavor male. Cannaventure has the Jaws S1’s, but I haven’t grown these, yet. I haven’t and won’t grow the ILGM one.

I just dropped a couple IBG S1 from CalyxBros that I told you about when you began, but they were sold out.

@Bubblegumfreak

if I can take clones of each photo…leave them in a small solo cup…under 18 hr light so they take up little space and resources.

Yes. I frequently keep Solo mothers.

[Bubblegumfreak]

@Budbrother

Cannaventure has the Jaws S1’s

Thanks, I appreciate it. From what I have found, Jaws is out and doesn’t have an ETA.

The other place, it’s $90 for 5 seeds. Does that sound right?

[Budbrother]

@Bubblegumfreak

Jaws is out and doesn’t have an ETA

He posted that he was done with the line.

@Bubblegumfreak

it’s $90 for 5 seeds. Does that sound right?

Think I got mine a few years back for $75-80 You’ll get more than 5 seeds; at least, ya did when I ordered. Think most had 8-12 in them.

[Budbrother]

Went and checked it says, at least five seeds per pack. I think he’s old school and measures by the spoon or by weight per pack. Hence at least 5

[Bubblegumfreak]

@Budbrother

Went and checked

Thanks, I picked some up.

[Brando11]

I’m growing Cherry lemon cookies first time grower. have had no amber but mostly milky for at least a week.

Lots of purple trichomes.

I am 60 days in getting new buds. Not sure if I should harvest?

[Bubblegumfreak]

@Brando11

should harvest

I took this one down at around 85 days old waiting for it to go amber. It didn’t really, and hermed. It smells great and is a beautiful plant, but I don’t like the smoke honestly, very racy. To me, It felt very undercooked if you know what I mean.
I hope you have better results!

As for when to harvest, have you checked the trichromes, and can you post some photos of them? If you don’t have a way to look at them up-close that is what I would recommend.

All hairs/pistols should go orange and the trichromes ( not on the leaves) should be white with some turning amber. To me, It looks like you still have a few weeks to go but I am not well versed. maybe someone else could make a suggestion?

[Bubblegumfreak]

@Budbrother

five seeds per pack

ended up getting 8 of them, which is great.

He also sent something called drunk leprechaun and said it would grow well beside FPOG. Ever heard of it?

[Budbrother]

No I haven’t heard of that strain. I wonder if it’s a nod to the drink or if it has leprechaun piss as a parent?

[Bubblegumfreak]

@Budbrother

I wonder

It says Cadillac rainbows X cookie wreck GVZ cut.

Haven’t heard of those but looking them up I’ll probably drop a couple.
