First Real Bubblegum DWC Grow

I started from 10 seeds, 1 male (B1), 2 female (B2 and B3), 1 unknown at this time (B4) and the other 6 did not make it out of germ.

Oct 22
2 Clones were taken from all 4 and cloned until roots showed.

Oct 28
12/12 under a 400w HPS to flower and sex.

Nov 25
Veged for 6 weeks under 24/0 CFL then one plant (aka B2) started to flower under 24hrs of light, go figure. So now B2 was going to be my mother was place into flowering.

Clones showed no signs of sex, yet.

Dec 02
Discovered male B1, destroyed father and clones.

Dec 09
B2 has been flowering for 2 weeks. Photo 1 and 2

Dec 2
Took 3 clones from 2BM(other). Having some troubble with spider mites.
I'v also installed a CO2 system. Small 5lb tank.
(pic of 3BM and 4B?)

Dec 11
Took 6 clones from 3BC(lone)1 and 6 clones from 2BC1
(next 3 pic of 2BM)

Dec 16
Took 8 more clones from 3BM
(pic of clones)

Keeping the room warm has been a problem so today I added a small heater and set it for 70.

Should 2BM that is flowering have larger buds? It's been 3 weeks and there are lots of hairs but is still on the light side. Thoughts?

I wouldn't worry too much about the flowering progress. I've had strains that flower very slowly up until the last couple weeks, then explode with growth.

Some pics of fan leafs, really big.

what nutes are you using ..nice grow

Dec 19

Clones are comming along.

Pics of flowering bubble gum. Still aways to go before harvest. The white tube to the right is from the cO2 tank.

Dec 29
9 days later. Not much has changed. I did have a problem with spider mites (those little fuckers) sprayed and droped temps to 78.

Buds are getting more wight hairs but still look small.

Is there anything I can do to get bigger buds?

Dec 30
Buds look good after fighting mites.

I built a aero cloner 5 gal bucket that holdes 15 2' pots, with a 350 gph pump. I wanted to run a test to see if old method of cloning or aero bucket was better. I loaded the bucket with 1/4 strength nutes and 15 cuttings vs. 8 cuttings in 2' rockwool with colnex and humid tray and heat pad.

Who would you put your money on? I've seen the vids where cuttings show roots in days comparied to 1 to 2 week in the rookwool.

GH 3 part.

Dec 31
So 24hrs has passed and the aero-cloner looks good no wilting, the dome has some signs of wilting.

Jan 01

Lost one clone in the dome, wilted and fell over. The aero clones still look good.

Jan 2
Aero-bucket is running 24/0 and the clones look a little over heated. I changed to 2hr on 1hr off to try and keep temps low. The dome clones also looked over heated so I disconnected the heat pad.

It's just been a few days and the buds are looking hairer.

Jan 5
It's been one week for the clones and today I lost another clone in the dome. The aero-cloner clones look ok but still no roots yet. It's takes about 2 week for roots to show thru the rockwool under the dome, so we'll see what happens.

The bubblegum is looking good.

Jan 7

Aero-clones are turning yellow and now look kind'a dry.

Dome-clones are looking sad, looks like I lost anotherone in the back.

Sorry, the water pump was making the water warm running 24hrs, so it's running 2hrs on 1 hr off. The lights at 4 T5's, 54w each on 24/0. I was able to get things cooler, keeping it in the 70's in the day and 60's at night.

I am flowering in the same room with a divider. Lights are 12/12, 6pm to 6am to keep the room warmer at night. Outside it's been in the 40's at night and 60's in the day.

Jan 11

It's been 11 days and the clone bucket looks like the winner so far. 4 out of the 15 are showing roots. The dome clones look sad, I think only one will servive.

Can anyone recomend a cloning solution to use or mix of ferts?

Jan 21
Ok, I never planed to grow a large plant but, it started to flower under 24/0, so I went with it. It's about 4ft right now. My plan was to SOG, small plants every 1 to 2 weeks.

The large mother is doing well and I think she has a week or two to go, the trics are cloudy but the hairs are still white. I cut a few when the trics were cloudy and I'm waiting for some to turn amber.

A few shots of my mother and new SOG. BTW the cloner rules all 15 clones did well and some of the roots were like 10 to 12 inches when the tops were only 3 or 4 inches.

The SOG tub can hold 50 plants and is loaded with 20 well rooted clones.
