Nirvana Bubblicious Feminized.

who dat is · Nov 10, 2011

I was curious because I'm currently growing a bubblegum from clone and they look a little different. Your leaves look more sativa leaning than mine but you are also a good bit ahead of me. I'm only on day 25 and this picture is from day 21

Yours are looking good and I'm keeping tabs on this grow. I would have to say out of the 6 girls I have the bubblegum is the fastest developing one and definitely has the most trichomes out of the lot. :yes:

OK. Update.
Im calling this girl almost finished. Im waiting a couple more days for a few more amber trichs. and for the calyxes to swell a bit more.
Most of the seeds have finished. There are a few more immature seeds left but Ive harvested about 40 seeds of each cross.

New pistil growth has pretty much stopped and Ive got mostly milky trichs with maybe 5-10% amber. . Im giving her a couple more days then chop-chop. Im a firm believer that when they look done, give them a couple more days. So that is what I'll do then a 24-48 hour dark period before chop.
Her smell has intensified and has a sweet sugary gummy scent. Im not sure it is exactly like pink bubblegum but it does have a pleasant odor.

Ive also got a second Bubblicious that was started 12/12 from seed.
She is already showing a little bit of frost and is doing well . As far as I can tell the characteristics are exactly the same as her older sister. At about 18 inches tall, she will have one nice fat spear of buds when finished.

I know I keep throwing this Vermont Rosebud plant in with this thread but Im very impressed with this plant.
Her odor is fantastic! Unlike anything Ive grown in 30+ years. Seriously. Raspberries,fuel,so enticing! I would grow it strictly for it's fragrance, if nothing else. I cant wait to do a grow with the remaining seeds I have. If it wasnt so late in the season I would attempt to clone it. These seeds, that were gifted to me from a friend who lives in Northern Vermont, will be the first run for 2012.

What day is that bubblicious on? Looking really good. :yes:

Capt.Ahab · Nov 20, 2011

The mature bubblicious has been flowering for about 58 days, to my best estimate.
The 12/12 from seed plants have been flowering for about 3 1/2 - 4 weeks.

nice man, i hope mine is looking like that here soon :yes:

Capt.Ahab · Nov 27, 2011

I gave her 48 hours of dark and took her out for a photo session before the chop.
Here are a few pre-chop shots.

been watching this, trying to find which bubblegum strain i had once. i love seeing nirvana grows come out good. nice looking buds.

who dat is · Nov 29, 2011

Awesome man, really good to see it turn out nice. Props :yes:

Mine is finally starting to look something like that. When you get around to it could you post some pictures of the dried nuggets? If it's not too much to ask could you set a lighter or something next to them for size reference. If it's too much of a hassle then don't sweat it, I'm just trying to nerd out a lil'.

Capt.Ahab · Nov 29, 2011

No problem, who dat is. I plan on doing a smoke report and Ill finish this thread up with some dried pics and a final weight.

Capt.Ahab · Dec 15, 2011

OK. Final update.
Going on three weeks since I chopped.
I dried the entire plant, roots and all, in a dark closet for about a week. The buds have been jarred for a couple weeks now.

The odor has diminished a bit since chop. Still strong but not penetratingly so. The taste is not quite the same as the smell, though. I would say the smell is gummy sweet but the taste when smoked is slightly tart /hashy and very dense or incense -like. It coats your tongue. The exhale and final taste is sweet. I like it.
All the people who I have turned on with this weed say it smells and tastes incredible. I hear a lot of "Wow"s when I break it out.
The high is right there on the first couple of puffs. Nice up and spacy high. I find myself not really paying attention to what Im doing but at the same time, doing it. Sort of a disconnect factor with this weed, for me. Six-eight puffs keep me going for a good hour-hour and a half . Pain reducing qualities seem pretty good. Ive got an old wound that hurts with a dull constant throb at times and this weed definitely helps. At any rate it helps me ignore the pain with the disconnected feeling I mentioned.
Im looking forward to growing this strain again with more veg. time and different soil mix. I think this stain has the potential to yield very well. I might even try Hempy pots next time around.
From this small test plant I got about 45 grams of dried bud. The ratio of dried bud to stems and leaf after the final trim was excellent. I think it could be even better under proper conditions.

Here are a couple shots of dry but still curing buds.

Once again, Gypsy's beans come through. :good:

For the price this strain cant be beat.

Thanks to all for following this thread. :thank you:

great thread brother! excellent gear it looks like.

GP73LPC · Dec 16, 2011

thanks for the pics and report... can't wait to grow my beans out...

Capt.Ahab · Jan 15, 2012

A bit of an update. I grew one Bubblicious girl out at 12/12 from seed and let her go to about 70 days. The plant grew around 18-20 inches and yielded just over an ounce dried. The extra 20 days made quite a difference. The buds are pale white and covered in trichs. The high is stunning and the odor went from sweet and pleasant to skunky fruity dankness. Next time around I will grow all the plants out to at least 65-70 days before chop.
