I just got 10 Femmed Grow XXX Bubblegum and was wondering does anyone have any experience of them?

It is my first grow and I will be growing them in compost under a 600w MH.

Any help would be great! Cheers dudes! stoned.gif

cant help apart from giving your thread a bump mate... got 4 serious seeds bubble gum on the go as we speak, two confirmed girls, one suspected ball swinger and one not matured yet... Bubblegum is very well spoken of in the forums, so hopefully your plants reward you well. good luck, enjoy your smoke mate...

add some perlite to your compost will help with oxygen for the root ball use good sized pots and i think you would be better off with growlux hps bulbs rather than metal halide as growlux hps have an improved tweaked blue spectrum for vegging and the hps will be better for the flowering stage good luck mate

I am pretty sure that perlite is unnessesary, you could use the mh all the way through but an hps would be better for flowering and if you have both you could interchange them for even better results.
ordinaryguy
get a good compost, like westlands plus advanced and forget the perlight mate. very light and fluffy stuff gives good drainage and ariation.... the hps will give a higher yield in general(although great yields can be had from mh), but many people use mh all the way through flower , although i think hps is more popular.... i'm using mh for first 2 weeks of flower to reduce stretch, then hps for the rest.... good luck mate.

Some MH is good in bloom to increase oil production, i've read about people switching back to MH for the final weeks of flowering. However dual spectrum bulbs like the grolux or powerplant make sod all difference as the amount of blue spectrum light is negligible.

Many thanks for all your help lads! Quality replies by all! Excuse my ignorance but the bulb I have is actually a HPS bulb! biggrin.gif

I have a thread started on what I've been up to with my room. Thread HERE

I am just about ready to go with it and everything I have and will be using is listed there.


When I sprout these will I slap the straight under my 600w?

can't help with the growing of it my friend.

But I had it in the dam a couple weeks ago, very nice smoke, stoped my flatmate talking for a couple hours, lol.gif.

Much luck with the grow.

Yo Bobw00ds,

got 1 complete diary in my sig if u wanna look : and also liked the strain that much that im on with another grow of it ! to get a healthier grow and also some mothers

did it a couple years ago hydro and loved it then too !

peace bro thumbsup.gif


Danklord
If your gonna stick them staright under a 600w you need to raise it to about 3x the normal distance to the plant tops. At least for a week or 2 until they start getting some bigger leaves.

Jon Cloberts diary is an excellent place to look for all your bubblegum questions tho. I've been checking back every time i have a problem. I'm 7 weeks in flower on sunday and i can't feckin wait, they smell so nice already and they look like they will finish to be monster buds.

Best of luck anyway

Nice one JC, I'll pull up a chair and look at your diary later! Much appreciated mate!

Best of luck with your grow Danklord, I'm itching to get started, I just wanna make sure that I know as much as possible before I take the plunge. I think I'm pretty confident now though and if I look into it all too much my head is gonna fall off! biggrin.gif

I got my 10 seeds from here {SPAM}. I'm a little worried that they're not the real deal. They seem a lot cheaper than other places, which is making me get a little worried that they might be pure shite?! I hope I'm wrong!

Not sure about that strain but i've found Grow xxx seeds to be a disaster. Very low germ rates (30%) compared to an average with other seeds of ~80%.

The best choice my friend I am currently growing BB from XXX seeds. Unfortunately there is not so much to discuss about this strain just grow it. This is a must do I think. I am also using the Jc diary but I think my girls are doing better ; taz.gif-))) . Btw very high and really fast germination rate 5 out of 5. Good luck!
