How long to flower Bubblegum?

PowerTape25 Registered on Oct-10-2007 More User Info Message #8421 posted by PowerTape25 (Info) October 30, 2007 15:02:28 ET Hello all! I'm in my second grow of Bubblegum. Seeds did not come with recommendations for flowering time. Last time I went to flowering after 8 weeks and harvested after another 8 weeks in flowering. Results were pretty good, especially for my first ever grow... about 1.5 oz per plant and a good high. This time I'd like to improve a bit if I can. If I go to flowering a bit earlier, will that reduce my yield substantially? Anyone know how long breeders suggest flowering Bubblegum? I'd like to wait as long as possible so as to get max yield and potency but don't want to wait too long and get lotsa CBDs and hence "couch lock". I prefer a more up high... more head than body. Anyone with experience/advice on Bubblegum?

I had actually ordered Blueberry seeds but they mistakenly sent Bubblegum. Hence, I didn't have much info on flowering time, whether to top, etc. Your input will be quite beneficial with this second grow and is greatly appreciated. I'm somewhat torn as to whether to go to flowering now or wait another week. For my first grow, my room had a low ceiling (about 5 feet at its highest) so I tied the tops over which resulted in a bastardized SOG/ScrOG with numerous buds of relatively the same size. This time my room has nearly 9 feet of height at its peak so I have not trained at all. I'm at nearly half the height of the room so with at a 2:1 ratio it'll be topped out by the end of the grow if I don't tie them over. Should I go ahead and flower now or is it not too late to begin training if I wait another week and then train as I go to flowering? I'll definitely wait 9 weeks to harvest this time. As I said, I didn't have any info on flowering time and didn't want to wait too long and get too many CBDs. Even harvesting after 8 weeks last time resulted in some pretty potent bud, so I'm excited about the results I'll get from an extra week. Thanks again for the advice!!
