Indoor Week 17 and still going

[bartlancertp]

I have this Super Bubble Gum by Flash seeds (freebie), and it is on week 17 with no end in sight (Yes, the plant desperately needs to be watered). All the trichomes are still clear and it still has a lot of white hairs on the flowers. I harvested most of my other varieties in my fall grow at 11-12 weeks, my Mephistos (AvT and Ripleys OG) went 14 weeks, but this one is at 17 weeks and still going. I even hit it with Koolbloom dry at week 12 with no effect. Anyone else experience long grows like this with bubble gum or any strain? I never went past 14 weeks before.

What is the breeders estimate. Some strains do not change to amber I believe . I know some pure sativas can go that long . 17 weeks since flip or since pistils?

17 weeks from seed.

I cannot find any reference to 'super bubble gum' or 'bubble gum', by Flash Seeds. It must have been a very limited release. I did just look again and see that some of their strains, like their 'bubble crack' (which they say is part 'bubble gum'), go 105 days seed to harvest, so that is 15 weeks. I guess this is a slightly longer variety. Geez, I'm almost half way through my next grow and it's still there.

The trichomes don't even look cloudy, they are clear.

I'll let everyone know how this grow turns out. I'm curious to see myself.

I grew some of Flash's Auto Purple Mazars and they were all over the place, from 110 days to longest at 138 days.

Good to know. Hopefully I'm only a couple weeks from harvest if similar to yours. Thanks.

Finally. Saw several amber trichomes today. Hit her with Koolbloom, and will do a one week flush with florakleen in distilled water (my water is very high in TDS).

To finish the story, at week 18 the Super Bubblegum was cut down. It was a pain to trim---very leafy and stringy. Looks like it might be a quarter pounder. Beautiful buds, but on the leafy side.

You can see the tomato cages I put in my pots for support.

Still drying. I will post in a week or two.

The plant yielded 115g of trimmed buds.
