Humming butt cheeks huh? So many strains, so little time. Bubble gum going on my radar.

For any ladies who might be interested, the Bubble Gum hum leads to a lovely tingle in areas that I believe my husband will be most thankful for.
That's the good news. Now the bad news. Today I'm having light issues. My most dreaded problem. One of the LEDs in the photo closet is acting up. It has 4...I don't know what to call them, light panels? One of these is only half as bright as the other 3. I contacted the company and am hoping for a quick and easy resolution since they are a sponsor here, but nothing yet. It's only been a few hours though.
In the meantime I thought, why not just take that LED out of the closet and put it in with the autos. It may be reduced light but it would be a nice boost for their final weeks in flower. Then in the photo closet I'd put in the 400w HPS to help boost temperatures in there a few degrees. (It's running at 71 during the day and 69 at night. I really wouldn't mind it a few degrees higher during the day.) Anyway, I removed the LED light, installed the HPS and got everything working just perfect. I turned the light on and bright warmth filled the closet. Yay! Then I shut the light off to better adjust the cords, turned it back on and the faintest popping sound came from my remote ballast. I turned the light back on and it only emitted a fraction of the light it should. Changed the bulb. Same thing. Joy. I think my capacitor failed.
Lights! Bah humbug!
The HPS light is quite a few years old and no longer under warranty. I'm sure a more technical-minded person could easily replace the broken part, but I'm not sure I should even try. A new one isn't too expensive, but darn it. That HPS was supposed to be my backup. And it failed me. How dare it! *stomps off*
And O.M.G. right as I typed that last sentence I was about to grudgingly go shopping for one more unexpected expense this month, none too pleased with having to spend more money, and at that moment my husband sent me an IM telling me about a very, VERY generous raise he just received. And a holiday bonus. It would appear my day has turned around. Just like that. Ain't life grand?
The buds on me folks! Pass them around!
Hey Fuzz....just wanted to share a pic of my bubble gum auto. ..what ya think at 43 days old?
I can't wait to try her now since I read your review .

I really like the Bubble Gum. In fact, last night I had some Dark Devil dried and all packed up and ready to go in my vape, but I couldn't bring myself to use it. Instead I snipped another lower branch from the Bubble Gum and vaped it fresh. It's such a fun, happy and relaxing high - though very scatterbrained. In comparison, I'd describe the Dark Devil as a more focused, creative high; great for daytime use. I can't wait to try them both fully mature and cured.
I guess she is just a different pheno, I haven't done any defoliating at all. Since she is so skinny, I am actually using Advanced Nutrients products during bloom....She looks wonderful! Your plant doesn't look as leafy as mine. Did you do a heavy defoliation or is it just a different pheno? Your lower buds will have an easier time bulking up. I was afraid to defoliate too much having never ran an auto before. Now I think I might have to harvest the top first and let the lower buds mature a few extra days. We'll see if I actually have the patience for that though.

Hello Frizz, depending on the fan and hood you are getting the temps can stay in reasonable numbers. I got the open hood and I got 4+ °C there with my 250W and ballast. Better to keep the ballast outside for better temps but you'll see. Looking all lovely there, the Skunk Haze could use some trimming before flower. Do not hesitate to remove leaf here and there as she has plenty down the stems. Cheers!

I figure she has 3-4 more weeks before I take her down.
All looking mighty proper. I don't remember DDA having small trichome heads. It's good hooch.
Lovely flowers! Nicely trained, they look like clouds in the summer sky! You did a great job keeping them happy, now they will repay you the service. I've just had my special chocolate treat and off to shop for presents! Cheers!
Thank you! While they're not the biggest buds I've grown, I'm really pleased with them. It's hard to believe all that in like 9 weeks. The next grow I'll have 600 actual watts of LED light in there instead of 400 during flower. I'm hoping that will help increase the bud size and density a little more. I'm greedy, greedy, greedy and always wanting more, more, more.
Special chocolate. Mmmm
