I am just getting ready to start my next grow and I was curious about big Bubblelicious gets. They look like they did not go above 24" or 16" around. Does that sound about right?
I can only hope my first active hydro grow turns out as nice!
Hi Pop Kulture,
Sounds pretty close to what I had, anyway. Their finished height is considered "short" by the breeder, mine were close to your estimate, but i had issues early on in the seedling/veg stage. I've seen some bubblelicious grow to about a 36" tall and wide (indoors) with sub-600w lighting.
They are a very aggressive grow/bloomer when pH'd and fed properly (mine struggled as I said). Robust and short for most of the phenos I had, they took well to LST, so I'm sure with any type of FIM, cropping, etc. will help keep their heights in order.
In addition to 12/12-ing them early based on their size in vegetation to control their finished size, I noticed with good (excessive even) lighting at early bloom, they resist excessive stretching. I think that is a big key to controlling their vertical growth.
They seeds are broad in the range of phenotypes, but I'd say in 5 - 10 seeds you'll definitely find a keeper or two. I've known many who have grown it and not got the "bubblegum" pheno (I didn't), but I know of no one who has ever regretted growing it, regardless.
Hope this helps, and if I can be of assistance, just ask!
e.
One particular Bubblelicious pheno (S2), was quite good, the Blue Mystic however is in a different league.
