09th November - Still waiting on Bubblegum x fat hog.
10th November - Still waiting on Bubblegum x fat hog.
11th November - Harvested Bubblegum x fat hog, I wet trim her (no water for 6 days), as with GHCheese i dry trimmed, and found dry trimming alot harder and more awkward.

Once done i will then share all my thoughts on this grow and finally sign it off.
Thanks for watching & commenting, dont forget to check back for dry weight.

Here are some final pics and pics of harvest and i weighed the main cola and 2 side colas . (will update dry weight once jarred)
Sorry pics not in order, and i also got a little popcorn bud

Yes i once grew in a wardrobe (with clothes in!!) 25+ years ago..
The result is definitely due to the help and advice ive received on here,
and by looking through all the pages..
And to top it all to help me even more Ive been gifted a light by 'bio'
that will be a heck of alot better than the 2 leds (all 3 plants were 5ft+ tall), although for my first time
im firstly exetremely surprised and absolutely over the moon...

So Bubble-gum is now suitable to go into jars.
I was quite disappointed by the huge drop in weight after drying.
The Main cola went from 89g wet, to just 16g dry,
and the 2 side colas which weighed 80g wet were only 14g.
Total dry weight 45g.....
So that's around ''200g'' drop from wet to dry...

I guess when i get the light that ''Biosynthetic'' has very kindly donated that will help with my grows,
as the bottom half of all 3 plants were very poor popcorn buds.

Overall my target was 10 oz and in total i got around 9 so not bad for my first time..
Now onto the smoke review, Bubble-gum who went 14 weeks in flower is by far and away a lot stronger
than the other 2 so i guess again the light penetration of the leds is very poor.
And the length of flowering to get Bubble-gum right.

She has a very full wonderful bubble gummy taste in the mouth and air, lovely and sweet but
also very 'deep' smoke.

Overall thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way, i am learning so much about growing
that i didn't even know existed.
Finally around £750 set up cost, and 9 oz would cost me £1620, so was it worth it absolutely 100%,,,

Here's some final pics and don't forget my new grows.....
