HARVEST

Well the time has come. The two large ladies have been taken down and have colas like I've never seen. I really got them locked in right this time. Dig this...

Once everything is dry I'll post up some dry weight numbers. Now those four clones have that 400w all to themselves.....so I expect good things from them as well.

Congratulations FunkBomb, those look spectacular. Very nice grow, the entire plants are practically flowers. Enjoy those ladies and thanks for sharing this. I'd like to hear your later impressions also.

Very nice. Love that monster cola! Congrats on a healthy harvest...

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to FunkBomb again.

 

[FunkBomb]

Thanks fellas. The plants are still drying, and starting to develop that magical hay smell before they go into jars. When they are done and all I'll snap some pictures.

Clones are also doing well. Next update will have plenty of pics for ya.

I was able to smoke some scissor hash from the Bub x HB. It absolutely raped my brain. I have a feeling the hybrid vigor made for some very high potency...

Here are the clones around day 32-36 days flowering. I forgot the actual date I flipped them, but I I'm pretty sure they were a little more than a month behind the larger plants.

Fucking beautiful...

That's quite the haul for two plants; good work Funk!

 

[Connoisseur300]

thats fuckin nice! Great job and crosses. that bubbleberry looks off the chain! I have some hashberry coming to me now. Wish gypsy had some bubblicious in stock.

 

[FunkBomb]

Those plants did yield very well for me. The longer veg time really let them get big and strong. I hope the same is true for the clones. I vegged them for a bit once they were rooted which was a good decision.

I'll get some pics of the clones soon.

Here are the clones kicking ass around flower day 41 or so....

May the force be with you stoners...

[chiefmasterbong]

nice nice. u ever try topping ur plants to make more buds?

 

[FunkBomb]

I have done some topping in the past with decent results. These Mandala strains have massive top buds, so I decided not to do any trimming.

[BesideHimself]

Nice work there.

You've given me the Mandala bug. I'll be back to check up on the clones every now and then - I want to see if they end up as healthy as their mothers. So far so fuckin' good right?

Regards,
BH

 

[FunkBomb]

Ya the clones are in fact kicking ass. Sorry I don't have pics now, but will get some up very soon. The week or so of veg once they were rooted really helped out. They are at flower day 48 now.

I suggest to breed out with Mandala. First generations are super strong plants.

[FunkBomb]

Allright here are those pics. The clones are at day 50 flower. From here on out they will get just water until harvest.

Damn. Hard to believe it's time for flush already.

How's the rest of your bud smokin'/vapin' ?

 

[FunkBomb]

The Hashberry x Bubblscious is just what I was looking for. It has very good yield numbers, with the high of a good strong sativa. After a joint or a vape, it hits you right in the cerebellum. You don't get too much racy heart or anything, mostly just the racy brain. It's a very creative, upbeat kind of high. Your brain is racing, while your muscles get jolts of relaxation.....if that makes any sense.

Here are the clones at day 53: HB front, HB x Bub back

[FunkBomb]

Here are the clones at flower day 57. Trichomes are still clear, but I think they will start getting cloudy/amber pretty soon. I hope they wont get too top heavy and break their own stems.....although that would be pretty badass.
