Thread: Bubblelicious Part 2

Hello and welcome to my new grow log. This is my 2nd cycle of Nirvana's "Bubblelicious".

I'm growing in a small cabinet, about 2'W x 2'D x 3'H. Lighting is a T5 fixture, 110W. I also ordered a LED panel for 40 bucks, and will be adding that in a few days. Hoping to increase my yield from the last grow, which came out to be about an ounce and a half.

Last grow I used the same exact nutrients (grow big for veg, ageold bloom for flowering), and the same soil (newage - a type they make locally). For some reason this time around my plants have some discoloration on the older leaves - which I tried to capture in the pictures below. If anyone has any ideas what it could be (keep in mind everything is identical to last grow, which went from start to finish with no problems), please let me know.

FLOWERING - DAY 1

bomb, I'm glad to see you again, although Chuck still scares the beef stew out of me! I've got a Bubblelicious brewing out on the pool deck - she's about 2 days into veg, just a lil' sprout at this point. I hope I have the same luck as you! I know you are still enjoying your BBL from the last grow.

As for your spots, I can't help you. If I had to venture a guess, I would say it sort of looks like nute burn, especially since all of them seem to have it on the same set of lower leaves. Maybe flush a bit and dial the nutes back some? As I said, wait for someone else with true experience and knowledge to provide you a real diagnosis, but I wanted to throw my 2 bits on the table.

Good luck on your grow - I look forward to following it through. I hope all's well with you and yours.

maybe a deficiency (Mg) caused by ph lock-out

Well i let smart people go with verdicts shovel is a wise man from what i have read, and shovel thanks for the advice about letting nature take its walk
Anyways i have not heard about a flush hurting plants unless you do it too often. But i would suggest thinking about what shovel said maybe try and ask stinkyaddict? and then do ph meassure on the runoff and from a flush, i personaly flush my plants bi-weekly and have yet to see any problems with it.
Again i must enforce that you ask the wisest people you can find

I really hope its not a PH problem, as I dont have a PH tester

I am going to flush them today when the lights come on. Thanks for the quick responses guys, I really hope that it doesn't spread upwards through the plant.

Excellent, I watched your last grow closely and I must say you grew some nice dank. I'll be watching this one as well - learning from your experiences and if I can ever help, I'll drop a post with my two cents. Happy Growing!

thanks UF I can use all the help I can get!

Hey Bomb, Looking Great!!!! Hey your problem with those spots was my exact problem at the start of my NYCD. I also thought it was a MG problem.. Except it ended up being burn spots from my T5! yes it happens! move the lamps up and the new growth will come in fine. but the old leaves will be like that! Good Luck!!! Im subscribing!

bomb....haven't seen this log...feel free to come in mine and tell me you started one! Looks like Ph lock-out to me...have had it a couple times...go check my episode 3 log, and compare pics. Trust me man, you need a ph tester. I fought it for a while too, lol.

Chuck Norris is so bad ass, he doesn't cut his grass, he dares it to grow...

The problem seems to have stopped. All the new leaves are fine


FLOWERING DAY 5

My little LED panel finally arrived yesterday so I got it hung today. I couldnt really figure out how to implement it in my little space, so I did what I could.

Plants seeem healthier now.

eh...those panels suck man...we had one of those on our first grow, couldn't keep a dad alive for 4 days...sorry man..
plants look healthy though, good thing you got it for supplemental light, it might help..

im not so sure how i feel about LED's. but whatevs... the plants look good bro!

Well, the LED panel can't hurt. Temps are the same, I dont see the drawback here!

Oh well - plants are doing great. Still waiting to determine sex. Any day now.....

Im crossing my fingers for all females!!!

DAY 7

Just a quick update today - plants are growing nicely. One of them (the one on the far left) is a monster with a HUGE main stem that the pictures just dont capture.

I had just LST'd the one on the far right for the first time about 5 minutes before I took this picture. It'll probably be facing up again in a few hours.

Hi, I caught only the tail end of your last tastie looking grow and plan on watching this one all the way through. I am really going to have order me some.

Day 15 Flowering

So, two of my plants turned out to be male. Then we lost power one day while I was at work and my timer got kicked back 2 hours. So this last plant hasn't shown sex yet for sure, but was probably delayed because of that.

Today however I have spotted some pistils. I have not seen any balls. I tried to get good shots of the nodes but my camera isnt that great.

Im so sorry about the males bomb. You should really take clones before the flowers pop up. Clones are great!

bomb, your bubbles are straight up poppin'! Looks like you have this strain fairly well down, eh? Mine is growin' out on the pool deck at around 16 days of veg - it's growing at about the same pace as my Mighty Freeze, so I'm happy; but, it's nowhere close to your bubbles. Keep up the outstanding work.

Maybe you need to keep a picture of Chuck around your ladies - I've heard his picture will scare the sacks right off a male mj plant!

Be good out there!

Thanks jakezking!

I seem to be pretty comfortable with growing this strain. Its robust, grows really really fast, and seems to be able to handle more than the recommended dose of nutes. Flowering has really picked up since my last update, and I will have some new pictures to post this evening when I get home from work. Pistils everywhere and not one ball spotted. (fingers crossed).

So, atleast I got ONE healthy female plant! And she seems like she could produce more than my bubblelicious from the last grow. I've counted 10 tops on this plant, not including lower bud sites.

Pictures to follow in a couple hours.

So bored. So stoned. I wish i had made this.

Flowering - Day 21

So far, so good. I'm on day 21, but I might subtract a week just because of my timer mishap (it got set back 2 hours after a power outage).

This plant is stronger and bigger than my last bubblelicious. It also has a stronger smell. Nutes are the same as last grow, AgeOld Bloom 3tsp/Gal and plain water every 3rd feeding. Keep it stupid simple, right?

Only thing I'm having trouble with right now is the height of the plant. Its getting tougher and tougher tying this girl down every day. Running out of places to tie the branches. I also have a feeling that Im "choking out" much of the large fan leaves during the LST process. Does this affect the plant during flowering? Should I try to expose the big fan leaves at this point? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Stay cool brothers and sisters.

Im not so sure about the fan leaves thing. I would just try to expose more bud sites. That Plant is a monster!!! im still kind of leery on the LST thing. Maybe doing 2 bends but im still leery. I have no idea why

hahah fuckin classic~

yeah i HAVE to lst.. really dont have a choice. I only have 24" or so of growing space above the pot and under the light. gotta make it work. I think it increased the yield in the end, because more bud sites are up close to the light.

she's friggin huge man lol
