Hope it's going well. I launched 4 BlueGums a couple of weeks ago. One was a bad mutant that got pulled (some are good, esp. in the blue family), and here are the three remaining...
Definitely easy to pick out the Bubblegum leaner. It'll be awhile before they're put into flower. Prolly won't clone any of them, but will leave the possibility of re-vegging a favorite for clones and pollenating with (either): F13, Blue Satellite 2.2, Old Time Moonshine- to keep the offspring blue-oriented.
The Auto AK and Micromachine will be coming down in the next few days. Nice dense buds on the Auto AK, the Micromachine seems a bit lighter. The other auto, Hobbit, is not making nice dense buds but wispy ones so I've been continuing to hit it with grow solution with Beastie Bloomz added. I have seen additional growth and trichs. I will most likely not flush this one, just keep hitting it hard with nutes until harvest and turn it into BHO.
When I was watering last night, I slipped moving things around and snapped one of the Kosher Kush in 1 gallon pots in half. There is only two bud sites left after snapping it off so I doubt I'll get much but it's back in the tent. I was going to try using tape to put it back together, but didn't have any handy...probably wouldn't have worked anyway, it snapped clean in half.
Speaking of the Kosher Kush, I'm not sure I like this pheno, and if the buds aren't great I'm going to kill the mom... It's very stretchy, and while the AK48 and Blueberry Gum are already packing on flowers, the Kosher Kush are showing very little.
So right now there are a total of 19 plants in the tent... three in 5 gallon pots, seven in 3 gallon pots, six in 1 gallon pots and three in 16oz solo cups. The ones in the solo cups are not keeping up with the others at all. Probably a waste of time. I've been alternating between watering with General Hydroponics bloom solution and plain PHed water with cal-mag. They are doing good, with no burn at all so far.
As far as the moms go, they are looking good too. I will be turning them into Bonsai moms soon, want to see how that goes.

The hobbit is going to be wispy simply based on its ginger ale background..

"Among the great variety of commercial mothers available, we have rescued the Ginger Ale variety-for the general public: A real legend among American cannabis breeders due to its exact proportion between Haze and Cinderella 88. This variety combined with the best of the autoflowering spirit results in a very resistant variety to both plagues and fungi. Very productive and with the sweet flavour of strawberry candy. And it only needs 65 days of flowering from seed."

I moved the last Kosher Kush clone from the solo cup to a small square pot, once it's established in the new pot I will chop it into a bonsai mom, as I did today with the other three.
I think I will start chopping branches off the Auto AK in just a few days, under the scope I'm seeing about 10% amber trichs. Final flush will be tonight with 5 gallons of plain PH'ed water.
So far, I am not a fan of autos, only grew them out because I had freebie seeds. I did a tent full of Sour 60, yields were good, but I wasn't impressed with the quality of the smoke... It got you high, but was one-dimensional? I also have found that they are NOT ready in 60, or 65, or 70 days as usually advertised... Add at least 2 weeks to that!
For this grow, I put some Micromachine in a jar last night, and smoked a bit. It's OK, smooth, felt it hit over the bud I had smoked earlier which is a good sign, but not much taste. Needs to cure.
I have some of the Auto AK hanging, and it looks killer, covered in trichomes. This is the first auto I've grown that was just covered in trichomes.
The Hobbit still needs some time, but like I said earlier it's light airy buds. I will probably only jar up some to taste, the rest to be made into green dragon, canna-coconut oil, and if any is left, BHO.
The rest of the plants are looking good. The AK48 seems to be making the largest buds, while the Fruity Chronic Juice is quickly becoming covered with beautiful frosty trichs, much faster than the others. The blueberry gum seems to be in between.
The Kosher Kush is lagging behind, just starting to produce buds and they are stretchy! If the smoke is any good, I will have to put them into flower much sooner next time, but if it's not, I'll just pop another Kosher Kush seed and see what I get...
So the only keeper for sure is the Fruity Chronic Juice. Dense trichome covered buds, nice strong smoke. The AK48 is OK, but since I have more seeds I think I can get a better one. I dislike the Blueberry Gum. Ugly buds, and the smell is almost off-putting and I don't enjoy the taste. Pretty good yields and easy to clone so I have a lot of it, but its going to get turned into oil. I didn't actually get to taste the Kosher Kush. I only had one plant flowering since it wasn't easy to clone, and after I hung it to dry I forgot about it for weeks and ruined it. I'm going to give it another go and try not to forget about it this time.
Looking for more keepers, so I have three new seedlings now... A Sleestack OG, an MK Ultra, and a Sour AK...

Nice to be able to forget a whole Kosher Kush plant! Not sure I could do that unless I'd already smoked some of it

I hope you turned that Kosher Kush into oil. Did you bin the plant?
Better not lie or the canna-trolls will ruin your next crop.
What a stoner...

Thanks for this, z. cheers. Space got tight in the veg room here, so the BGs got taken out of play- glad it seems like the right decision.
My remaining freebsters (1 ea., in veg) are-
Sweet Black Angel
Moby Dick
Blue Satellite 2.2 (rubbing the stem smells like super sweet lemonade)
Kandy Kush x Skunk1 (amazing vigor- stretchy and bushy)
