Here we go then, first time posting a grow here so i hope this one goes to plan
I Built my own hydro system a few years back now and it works well, its
Kind of a waterfarm rip off with recirculation controler and a header tank as I only get
To visit my plants once or twice a week, but you will see what I mean as the grow
Progresses.
First of I need to find a mother to clone so started with 5 seeds as space is restricted.
My nutrient of choice is Canna substra hard we have pretty hard water in my area ec 0.5
Last grow I used Ghe flora with good results and well I just like Canna.

started my bubblegum seeds by pre soaking them in a mix of rhizotonic and a few
other things for 24 hours then moved them to paper towls with water.

soaked my grodan blocks in a weak solution of vega & rhizotonic ph 5.8 ec 1.2

when I got home from work this evening 3 had sprouted so they were transfered
into the grodans.
Well thats it my first grow post here.

It looks clean, so I assume you have done this before... In my opinion the cubes look a little too soaked. You can drown those sprouts easily.

hi flooid thankyou for your comments
yes I have done this several times before,this was just soaking the blocks
prior to use, I give them a little squeeze before I use them

Can't wait to see your gums. This is one of the few strains I really wanted to grow but never have. If you get a keeper...I'll be wanting a limb :sasmokin: !!

Hi willworkforbuds thanks for droping in, they come from a breeder in my country
so Im not realy sure, I know he has done a lot of work in the past with THSeeds
Bubblegum, although when I got these from him I was told it was a new one.

Well time for an update,these bubblegum are not as easy as the indica
Dom plants Ive grown in the past, I put them on ¼ strength canna and
It shocked the hell out of em.:badday:
So after a couple of weeks in intensive care I decided to put together
A make shift hydro system and put them in there, live or die time.
That was a week ago and they seem to be responding ok, they are on
Ec 0.8 and ph 6, hope I can clone soon and get the boys out of the way
Then I can get down to some serious hydro.

Those plants looks excellent for being in recovery. Those top ones look perfect, extremely green and very lively. I think your grow will really turn around and will have a great yield. Looking forward to harvest time, keep us updated.

SHocked?? What physical signs were they showing you that made you think they were in shock?? They look pretty damn good from this angle, and no sign of prior mistreatment....

Looking nice oldsmoker ... :D
