Wrangler's 1st Grow - Nirvana Bubb

18/6 my friend, when i wanted to start flowering, i took away an hour a day until 12/12. I use 23w 2700k spectrum CFL's for the side lighting. They give off little heat so you can practically put them on the plant with some fan leaf adjustement.

Also, since i started adding 1 tsp natural molasses and the air bubbler to my nute solution for a day before feeding they have really bursted in growth. I dont know if the molasses or bubbler had any effect on that but it seemed to of worked out splendidly!

so wat does bubbling ur nute mix actually do? or wat is the reason for bubbling the nute mix?

any thoughts????
 
Day 67: 6th week of flower



My girl is really starting to get frosty and sticky to the touch. Her main cola and side buds are swelling real nice like. She definately has a bubblegum type smell to her. It is sweet and smells almost sugary. I had signs of N deficiency the other day (some yellow fan leaves) so I decided to lightly mist all the fan leaves with a weak organic N solution. It turns out that the some spots got light burned. I guess this happened from the water droplets on the leaves magnifying the light. No biggy, she seems to be still doing very well. I have about 3 more weeks flowering according to the nirvana bubblicious guidlines but i have a 30x microscope to start looking at the trichs to see when they are actually ready. I plan on using nutes for about 2 more weeks and then using regular oxygenated water with molasses for the remaining 1-1.5 weeks. Here are my latest pics, enjoy. Constructive critiscm and comments welcomed! :thankyou:

I am also setting up a little veg operation in the old closet that I used before i got my tent. I am starting now so that when my bubb is done, my new girls will be ready to start flowering in the tent. I am torn about what I want to start for my next grow. I am deciding between 1 female seeds C99 and 1 Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze topped or 1 massive LST'd Greenhouse Moby Dick. Let me know what you think!
 
Their looking just beautiful, its like going out early morning into the garden and discovering the first frost of autumn & light of the morning sun glistening on the leafs :peace:


I would be tempted to look around for an organic P,K booster for flowering to help pack on bud density/weight, its quite hard finding organic nutrients with higher enough P,k thats the tricky bit...
 
week 7 flowering update

little update here. They smell, period. Even though it smells really sweet and sugary, they are definately quite stinky. Some lower fan leaves are beginning to fall off due to yellowing which is normal i beleive. The buds are getting quite thick and get noticeably bigger every day i check on them. I assume maybe a week or two left. Looked at them with my microscope thing today and some trichs are beginning to turn a little cloudy. I am actually quite impressed and pleased with myself with this grow, i did not expect to get buds like this even though some of the leaves are curly and look like shit. Here are some pics, or the infamous "bud porn". Let me know what yah think!

:thankyou:

the SLH and C99 havent sprouted yet, when they do I will start another journal. I placed the seeds in those little peat pellets with a little superthrive soaked in and then placed them in the soil mix in very small plastic pots. They are under 1 23w 6500k cfl. They have been there for about 3 days or so, so ide imagine they will pop soon. Later!
 
almost done, almost done! will post pics tomorrow. Almost through with week 8 of flower. :-D

I'm looking fowards to this, its like gazing into a crystall ball & seeing the future for my own Bubblelicious:thumb:
 
Beginning of Week 9 12/12


Well it is just about done, 1 or 2 more weeks of just plain pHd water and that should just about do it. The buds have gotten a little bigger and I am pretty pleased considering its my first grow and things definately did not look perfect. There were no seeds on the whole plant after i inspected it but plenty of sticky icky. Here are some Pics.

end of week 9 flowering


well the leaves are pretty much terrible looking right now, yellowing and some crispy, but the buds are looking and smelling excellent which is all that counts to me. We are on strictly water and mollasses now, and i make sure i give them a good 50 - 75% runoff with each watering. I checked the trichs today and they are most cloudy with a few amber here and there so I will prolly give the another week and harvest next friday. My next entry will most likely be my first trimming and harvest attempt, wish me luck!!
