Trichome production is excessive. I've had plants, from seed, producing trichomes before they had shown signs of sex! And once you flip them over to 12/12, they just explode in sparkles. It's really quite impressive.
Yield is a bit low for a pure indica, due to the low density of the buds. However, this is counteracted by its potency... A pretty good balance between a heady-high, and a body-high, but beware - it's definitely a creeper high... 30 minutes plus to completely hit you. Definitely not a functional high... It shakes up your brain like a snow globe.
Overall, it's an excellent strain, and certainly worth the price. If you're a fan of a good indica, or just want some sexy buds to show off to your friends, give it a whirl... You won't be disappointed.
One thing - MAKE SURE TO SUPPLIMENT MAGNESIUM!! My bogglegums seem to suck up far more magnesium than any of my other plants. I usually gave them twice as much epson salt as my other plants, about 1/2 tsp per week per plant, mixed in 1 gallon of water. Others received 1/4 tsp, or less.
430 watt SonAgro, over 1 square meter. Plants grown in 5 gallon buckets, max height of roughly 75-100cm. Fed with Schultz fertilizers, various types for different needs. Epson salt supplimented for magnesium supplimentation.

Grown outdoor at 40°N, all organic. She is my favorite plant I have grown thus far. Does best in full morning sun. Grows like a beast, the internodes are perfectly spaced every 3-4 inches. Plants tended to show their sex a lot later than Skunk and Afghani, thus flowering started later. The more s...continued

This strain is an easy grower, starts off fast in veg; branches out nicely. I feed them 10 days after popping out of the soil, it's all down hill from there. Never gave me ANY troubles. Vegged under a 400w MH till there 18 inches, then "topped". 5 weeks Veg.
100% germination from seed, ~50% female. They stayed quite short and bushy during veg and grew nice big fat stems. None of the Bogglegums needed staking. It is a fairly easy to clone plant.
There was very little stretch during flower, they stayed nice and compact. Trichome production is outstan...continued

There are two phenos in this variety. One is a bit harsh tasting and the other has the highly desirable grape taste. Both had about the same stone (not very strong at all) but the taste was worth it as it is very yummy. Tons of crystal on this plant with a decent yield but my only gripe is the pote...continued
Grower Report - High on Fire on March 5, 2004, 8:56 pm
I started 9 seeds that I got out of an old Medley Mix. %100 germination, got 6 females the males was ditched.
Very vigorous during veg, seemed to like the nutes (Pure blend pro), on the heavier side. They were vegged for 45 days, and topped many times to keep the height down.
Bogglegum is very easy to grow. I only tried germinating one seed, which ended up becoming an absolute monster of a plant, displaying vigorous growth from day one. Despite numerous mistakes growing with aeroponic hyrdroponics for the first time, this Bogglegum plant never ceased to impress me. I rea...continued

This was a fun grow. We planted all 12 seeds right away when they dropped in the mailbox,all germinated/sprouted in 4-5 days,there was 5 males in 12 seeds so we were left with 7 nice females to play with... The plants were grown in soil/Leca-clay mix and were fed with GH nutes, which did the job we...continued
This was my first grow, but have since done a few grows.
This is a very easy strain to grow IMHO, its rather short but has heaps of side branches. Veged it for 5 weeks to about 18" tall (topped once) with a 600watt HPS light, flip 12/12 and it starts to stretch a little.
I sprouted 3 seeds 1 male 1 female and 1 eaten by my cat. So I vegged the female into a mother took some clones and started on my first grow of Bogglegum. The plants grew very uniform and they bushed out a lot. I topped them when they were a few inches tall.
They more than doubled there height in...continued

This was a very nice strain to grow, very hardy grower forgiving, fairly low/pleasant odor, good yielding, relatively short with profuse side branching if topped, fairly fast finishing and GREAT smelling. I started out from seed (thanks SD and BOG) and have been growing now for three generations......continued

Well ... the first thing I noticed when I started this grow was the amazing side branch production. Very vigorus and nicely spread. The internodes of the plant were the shortest I have ever seen and there were tons of them. I vegged for 5 weeks and then hit 12/12. The plant took a lot of Mg duri...continued
