Sorry for the delay, here she is guys.
Hubbabubbatelescope (bubblegum cut x W.W AF)
A special cutting made it's way to my collection from eastern europe. A 90's serious seeds bubblegum. Very high quality, tight dense nugs not massive individually but as a whole the plant is a great producer, branchy structure, but of course the best thing is the taste and smell. Complete bubblegummy yummyness. it's an indica leaning plant, with a zig zaggy structure. I made a few photo period crosses to the same cut, but really there isn't much room for improvement with her.
Apparantly, 100's of other bubblegums from serious stock were grown out a few years ago to find a male and female similar to this cut to work from, and none matched this cutting.
This was crossed to a nice W.W male, In the W.W AF line I look for the perfect hybrid pheno's between the indica and sativa leaning plants.
The nice branchy structure and fast growth rate, but with fast flowering buds to match.
From the batch of the F1's we grew out, there was one standout plant, that reeeked of bubblegum and was the chosen girl to hit up for F2's.
I can see this becoming a personal favourite of mine for a long time to come.
I have fond memories of bubblegum, as it was the first weed I ever bought in a coffee shop in Amsterdam a long time ago, and I had 4 naps in one day as a result
In the F2's, the plants show good resistance to stunting and stress and have superior vigour and size to the older school of dwarf AF lines. They appear to not be at all finicky with feeding requirements and for people who have not grown AF's it could be a great strain to turn them on to our world of AF's.
I would like to stabilise them to a size of 2 feet tall over the generations (with restrictive potting) and a yield of 2+oz per plant. They look like perfect candidates for training and should prove a very versatile tool and strain in our Autoflower arsenal!
Here are a few pics of midflower:

I will dig out some buds of her later today and show you guys.
cheers for now, mitch
