I’ve been wondering about the JillyBean. Sub really downplayed anything Jill, IMO.
The one sample I ever had was weak & meh, but I blame the grower.

Creme Brulee at seven weeks. Almost there, packing on the frost. The smells are sweet with earthy notes, almost like smoking out in a bakery.

The Freedom Dream plants in the 1x1 are not doing too hot, or rather they are doing too hot. The battery on the thermostat was low (don’t know how long) so the ventilation fan was not kicking on. Yesterday it was over 100*F in there! I had to cut one of the plants that wasn’t going to make it. This is another symptom of LITFA overdose.
The Creme Brulee are at 55 days now and definitely packing on the weight. I will bust out the scope tonight and check on readiness. Looking at the buds, they look like they could use another week.

Creme Brulee trichomes look like they could use a couple more days. Some amber on a few of them.
Ever read about a pest, then convince yourself you have that pest? I convinced myself I had the symptoms; healthy veg growth, then what looked like a mag deficiency about 3 weeks into flower.

Busted out the scope and am happy to say these are fungus gnats. Notice the wing span is the same as the body, they have clearly segmented bodies, and no tail pipes on the ass end.
I’m going to reammend my soil and add some of this

Creme Brulee 7 is blooming, this was a freshly rooted clone I put in here for giggles. No idea how old it is. 
Juanita at day 41 on the other side of the screen.
Creme Brulee came down today at 60 days. Not a huge yield, but nice quality. I’ll have to run these again before choosing a keeper.

Here are my mothers, they are in desperate need of a trim. A couple were burning on the fluorescent lights.
Here is Juanita at about seven and a half weeks. She usually goes 10-11 weeks, so I’m pretty close. Starting to get some ripening of the buds.
These are the slowest auto flowers I have ever grown. These are eight weeks from seed and just barely started flowering. Part of that may have been the excess LITFA. These have been only getting tap water in my SIP. Ironically, the little one is male and the taller one is female. On the bright side, the clover is flowering nicely.

Are you doing notill/rols for your mothers, or something else entirely? They look like happy little plants

No these are bonsai mothers, no way to do organic with them. I feed them the same as the rest of my garden, except on water days they get fertilized with Superthrive, Shultz 10-15-10, and Fish emulsion. This is actually the Dr.BudGreenGeens feed formula.

Do you add much/any acid/base with yours? 
None, dont even measures it.

That’s it, I’m tapping out! I’ve tried so hard to like this one. The Hurculese oil cartridge is so much better in every way except form factor. The ironic thing is, they are by the same company.
Bubbleman Pen Chronicles:
The Final Chapter
So I was about done with this thing. I gave t on last chance on my last business trip. It performed mediocrally, but didnt overheat or break like has happened a few times. I voiced some negative opinions about the unit on Instagram and they told me the XL tank improved on some if my negative comments. They offered me a free tank. When I sent a DM, I was told a few weeks for the new tanks to be in stock. When I inquired later, I was told it was sent, but it never arrived.
So I figured I would try it anyway. Ordered it to take on a camping trip. Paid for priority shipping. They got me a tracking number right away and the item didn’t ship for several days. Never made it for my camping trip.
When it finally arrived, it came with a not to change the heating element to the new version. Ok. Didnt think and threw the old one out. I pressed out 1.5 grams of Grass Monkey rosin, added the terpenes, and filled the new tank. When I put it on my battery, it didnt work. WTF! Well I hook it up to my ohm meter and it reads 0.3 ohms. I guess too low for the battery, the other tanks were 0.5 ohms.
I hooked it up to my box mod at 10-watts. Technically that voided my warranty, but it was working. Tasted a bit “dry” to me, so I turned up the wattage. Took a big hit and then nothing… burnt out the heating element. I searched through the garbage for the one it came with and couldn’t find it.
I took apart the tank and saved as much of the oil as I could. Probably only about a gram came back. Since the warranty is already void, I decided to dissect the tank and checked out the heating element. After a few tries, I managed to wire up a replacement coil that was 0.5 ohms. I go to put the tank back on, and the glass shatters!
To recap, here are the trials and tribulations I’ve had with this damn pen.
