GDB's Bubblegum Machine

[Grand Daddy Black]

Hello growers.

It's Day 46 for the Bubblegum Machine.

So far, so good. All all responding well to their training and retaining their colors.

Kera Bubblegum flanked by RQ Bgum II.

Black Cherry Pie

And last, the RQ Bgum twin. I'm anxious to see how her short side finishes up. She could be a little cutie!

That's today's quickie update.

As always, thanks for looking in.

Peace.

Plants are looking perfect, like you're making them out of plastic, damn near hermetically packaged...Makes my garden look like a zoo. Fine little harem sir, excellent work.

Beauties!! My goal is to grow plants that short in my next run. LOL. No more skyscraper plants. Way too much anxiety with tall ass plants.

Hello growers.

It's Day 47 for the Bubblegum Machine and all is well. (Sorry about the poor pic.)

Because I up-potted these sooner than I had anticipated, I'm now ahead of schedule. I'm thinking maybe another 15 days of growth and then I'll flip them around day 62.

I really like the way they're set up. They look like they'll develop some nice canopies.

Or not!

Thanks for your interest.

Peace.

They look good GDB, what a nice group of healthy happy ladies!

I paid $30 extra at the repair shop to get it back the same day I put it in, which was today.

You pay extra to prevent them from having time to download any porn from the computer after they fix it.

They looked much happier than I when left them last night.

And even happier day by day. on the transplants and training!

It was a pleasant way to start the day.

Mine too.

Hello growers.

It's day 48 for the Bubblegum Machine, and I'm going to post pics of these girls one more time before I give it a rest for a bit. There's nothing to see here, and I personally believe that a journal that is updated when something has actually changed is more interesting than what I'm doing here.

So here goes.

Kera Bubblegum

Royal Queen Bubblegum XXL II

Royal Queen Bubblegum XXL twin

Black Cherry Pie

Tent Shot

I'll be back if something changes -- some growth, a funny looking leaf, an odd smell -- anything!

Thanks for your interest and your feedback!

Shhh!

Beauties!! My goal is to grow plants that short in my next run. LOL. No more skyscraper plants. Way too much anxiety with tall ass plants.

I agree Baked. I'm a rather tall man and I don't feel like wrestling with them!

They look good GDB, what a nice group of healthy happy ladies!

Thanks, N.

Always good to have you stop by!

PEACE

Thanks, Shedster!

The tech admired the wallpaper of my stuffed 5x5 tent!

Nice job separating the twins!
I was going to do that to my pseudo-twins, but I just left them as-is...
They're actually doing better than expected outside....
Still runts, tho...

I can't wait to see the odd smell one!

What's the internet version of smell-o-vision?

 

[smokesbetter]

Well how nice they are and I'll be back next time you bring the lady's around .... Don't forget to water anyway LOL

I didn't separate them Carcass. I just bent the tall side over and tied her down so that shorty could get some light!

Phew. A bunch of us were talking amongst ourselves in the back and so not paying much attention, and I thought I had missed something. I didn't think you had separated them, but honestly was too lazy to go back through the thread to get myself caught up.

Thanks for saving me the time.

Hello growers.

It's Day 49 for the Bubblegum Machine.

I know that yesterday I posted that since the plants are just cruising along at the moment, I would not post again until something changed. Well I'm posting now because although nothing has changed with the plants something has changed with my perception of them. (@Azimuth: "This is some straight-up bullshit!")

I've almost slept the fact that two of these plants are 12 inches tall (RQ II and Kera). And based on my recent experiences, this is about the height at which I'd like to flip them. I've said it before and I'll keep on saying it, I have no desire for big, giant plants. I love to watch others grow them, but they're not for me.

So while I'd like to give the Black Cherry a little longer to grow, I'll be flipping this tent within the next few days, maybe even tomorrow on day 50! (That was my target date from the outset, but I didn't think I could make it this time.) The RQ twin is what it is. I don't expect her to grow much more anyway.

And this young lady is also weighing into the equation:

This clone of a Grape Ape that I currently have going in my other journal is on day 37 and is 11 inches tall. Her mother got a real stretch thing going when I flipped her and I'm thinking she will do the same. I'll be moving her to the 5x5 tent (and into this journal) when I go to 12/12 lighting for the Bubblegum Machine. So there's that.

Plus she looks like she's hot and ready!

Thanks for looking in folks.

Peace.

Nice! An "unachievable" goal has been met! Go for it. Why not?!

I was wondering if the smell had gotten odd. Oh well...flip thrusters engaged!

 

[smokesbetter]

Plants Look the same , thanks for sharing

Hello growers.

It's Day 50 for the Bubblegum Machine.

A new tenant has arrived. The Grape Ape clone (front right) from upstairs has been moved in with the Bgum crew, just in time for Flip Day!

Well, I was going to flip them today but...

The clone's pot was really light and she had just been watered about 20 hours ago. I decided that the ways she's drinking she may not be able to finish to her full potential (or even comfortably) in that 3 gallon pot. So before I flip them I'm going to up-pot the clone to a 5 gallon pot.

But I'm all out of Fox Farms Ocean Forest so I'll need to visit the hydro store to get some. I'll up-pot the clone today and then flip the group either tomorrow or the next day.

It's been a winding road, but I eventually ended up with 5 plants going in this tent, which was my aim from the beginning!

What a "plan!"

Thanks for looking in.

Peace.

Hello growers.

It's Day 51 for the Bubblegum Machine and that is FLIP DAY 1!

Well that worked out well. I did not think flipping this soon was a possibility. But my estimates were way too pessimistic, so here I am!

I up-potted the Grape Ape clone (front right) to a 5 gallon pot last night. The remainder of the group got their water only feeds this morning, with 4ml Sensi Calmag (4-0-0) + 8ml SNS 209.

The lights will go out on these girls at 10am and they won't see it again until 10pm.

That's today's news!

Thanks for looking in.

Peace.
