BigMike55 and MarsHydro Go Crazy

These are going to be the biggest colas and nugs I have ever grown, I think. I grew some Blue Dream a few years back that were about this size. All my plants this grow have been really putting on the buds. Even my Ice Cream Cake, which I grew a clone of outside last season. It had really small buds outside. But some of my better smoke. So I snagged another clone to grow inside. Plant was about the same, but the nugs are like three to four times the size of the outdoor buds. The only thing different, other than inside vs. outside, is the inside one got a full regimen of @BudBusterPro and the outside one did not. Iā€™m pretty sure itā€™s the BBP that increased bud size. Because all my plants this grow have gotten really oversized buds for their strains.

Looking amazing as usual. I need to up my game.

I think on this grow, for harvest, Iā€™m going to snag the gig colas and side nugs, and dry and cure for smoking flower. Everything else will go in the freezer until I get ready to try my hand at some bubble hash. I still have plenty of smoke from last grow, so just some fresh colas will do just fine.

That sounds like a plan, I made some bubble hash yesterday. I havenā€™t had my bags out in a while and I gave my last chunk of hash away to a friend this summer.

Said the flasher as he was being arrested. :slight_smile:
Morning brother! It looks like your giving JP a run for his money as far as taking over the water cooler. At least right now. lol

Make sure your drying and curing area are spot on with humidity, temps and air flow. I didnā€™t have enough air movement the last harvest and lost a few of my ā€œbiggest colasā€ to mold.
Just saying. I know you got a good handle on this but big tight buds are a different animal I think.

And I do appreciate all the encouragement I get from you guys. It really helps me to do my best.
I need these to hurry up. I have ladies in waiting. My new plants are a good two feet tall right now, so their 4x4 tent is getting very crowded. In fact some plants are not even in the tent any more. Haha. The babies are, mostly.

That BBP does a damn good job! Iā€™d never say too good of a job! lol But it does prolong the life, which would seem to equate to bigger budage :wink: :+1:
When using the BBP, Iā€™d say toss out the grow guides on any strains you grow lol
It played/plays hell with your own schedules, I know. The plants are like planes at an airport, stacked waiting to get in! lol

So, are you saying, then, that a 9 week plant may take 10+ weeks to finish, using the BBP? Kinda makes sense with whatā€™s going on with mine. They are 10 weeks today. And I know my last grow with ISS, they went 64 days to about 20% Amber. This clone is 10 weeks and just getting to that harvest point of last grow. And that was with no BBP.

Thatā€™s exactly what Iā€™m saying cuz. You read it right. I found the grow guides on any given strain are not accurate when the BBP is used throughout the veg and flower cycles, Iā€™ve learned to just add at least 2 weeks to whatever they recommend

And auto or photo, it doesnā€™t matter lol

THAT is great to know. Strain packs usually lie about flowering times anyways. Haha. But, yeah. This is good info. I can reduce the bottleneck at the BM55 Airport. Ha!

I have no doubt that Johnny is right. Iā€™m hoping that using it again on the flowering Frankenstein will extend the flowering time enough to have viable pollen from her sister/brother.

I think these need some space. Sure got big fast. BBP probably.

Those are almost waist high.

Here is how my clone roots are coming along.
