101 days of delicious Bubblelicious
Day 101 - Auto Harvest Day!
Last night, a friend stopped over and took a Papaya #1 and #2 clone. Looking inside the tent, he was impressed with how the LED lights bulked up the buds. He also commented that my Bubblelicious were done. Thinking the same thing, I decided to chop them today after work. And the bud I cut from Bubblelicious #3 a few days ago was dry enough to have a test before doing the deed. A very smooth smoke with a pleasant body high. Tomorrow, I'll test out Bubblelicious #1, which is the tastier looking of the plants. I chopped both plants just above the soil and hung them whole. The Bubblicious #1 and #3 weighed in wet at 5.2oz and 4.7oz respectively. Somewhere I read that I can expect about 20% of those numbers, which would leave me at about an ounce/plant. We'll see in a few days when I trim them up and weigh them out.
It was fun growing autos just to say I have, but I have no plans to buy any more auto seeds. I have one Bubblelicious seed left, but I'll probably give it to a friend who wants to try their hand at growing. The clone I took from Bubblelicious #1 has roots, but it stalled and will likely get the axe in a day or two.
Also, I bought a new 4" Hurricane In-line Fan, a Phresh Filter, and a Speedster Speed Controller. With some cutting and drilling, I was able to fashion a mount for my fan/filter combo where the fan sits above the tent and the filter sits inside the tent directly below. Way more air flow than my last jimmy-rigged fan, even on the lowest speed.
With two plants out of the tent and my fan/filter in place, I decided to clean up the tent a little and adjust the Papayas in the ScrOG. I saw a few gnats flying around, but then again they are everywhere in my house. It's amazing I only have a couple in my tent. The thought crossed my mind to add some homegrown vermicompost. It worries me that the compost will add some unwanted pests, so I decided against it this time.
Anyway, I ramble, so here is the proof:

Thanks for stopping by and being apart of my first harvest. Less than a month left before my Papayas come down... and then it's High Brix time! Stay tuned for updates on final weights. I'm going with a straight 2oz. Any other takers? Price is right rules.
Goodnight and good luck.
