| 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 realize that 85 days of flowering is a very long time, but I made a couple mistakes that caused this to happen. First of all, I had some problems with nute burn, forcing me to flush the entire hydro system, shocking the plants and delaying everything. Second, at day 50, I stopped giving them nutes, a premature decision, causing even more delay in flowering. Third reason, was the gigantic size of some of my colas, which took forever to properly ripen evenly. My guesstimate is that these 3 factors caused a 7 day delay each, adding up to 21 days. I harvested by closely monitoring the trichomes. My personal preference is slightly more cloudy than clear, with a few amber ones thrown in for good measure. Good bud is analogous to strong coffee. In the morning, I like my coffee strong and flavorful, cause I like to taste it when I drink it. It's no different with my bud. Towards the end of harvest time, a bunch of my colas turned purple, which yielded the best and most incredible grape bubblegum taste of the entire harvest. The first thing that strikes you when vaporizing some is how smooth it is. Some buds taste like Bazooka Joe bubblegum, and some of the buds have a grape Kool-Aid flavor. Even when it grows, Bogglegum doesn't smell like regular weed. It's low odor, and doesn't really stink until it's ready for the chop. When harvested, and starting to dry, it smells like wet straw, or hay. Only when it's completely dry and cured does it start to smell, and even then it's way different. When I open a glass jar of curing Bogglegum, it smells spicey, like nutmeg. No doubt about it, Bogglegum is more potent and more tastey, after a good cure in a glass jar. Its bubblegum/spicey taste really grows on you.
Potency wise, I would give it a rock solid 8.5 - 9. This stuff can really kick your ass if you vape too much. It has absolutely ruined and/or crippled a few of my hard core veteran toking buddies, to the point where they almost passed out from one too many hits. Moreover, I must admit it has had the same effect on myself a few times. The high is pillowy, creamy and thick, with lots of bottom. I love how the taste stays in your mouth hours after having some, especially after drinking something with sugar in it. Very yummy!!!
You defintiely know that you're smoking an indica dominant phenotype here. Even when exhaling a big vapor hit, the vapor plume seems to have a darker blueish hue to it when it's Bogglegum. My only knock against it, is that the buds are not very tight or dense like some other strains. It's alarming how much weight you lose when your Bogglegum dries. What were big fat colas wet, will lose more than 80% of their original weight after drying. The only buds from my harvest that were exceptionally tight and dense were the ones from the monstruous main cola it produced. Because of this, it takes more volume in Bogglegum buds to yield the same weight. Having said all that, my lone Bogglegum did yield over 275 grams, dried and manicured. Not too shabby!!! If you're an indica lover, you'll be moonstruck with Bogglegum.
