Growing Environment
Indoor: Maintain daytime temperatures of 70–78 °F (21–26 °C) with a 5 °F drop at night. Keep humidity at 55%–65% during vegetative growth, then lower to 40%–50% in flowering to preserve terpene integrity and prevent mold.
Outdoor: Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with well-draining soil enriched with compost or worm castings. Ensure at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. In hot climates, provide afternoon shade; in cooler regions, use a simple greenhouse or hoop house to extend warmth and fend off rain.
Good airflow is essential use oscillating fans indoors and space plants at least 3 ft (1 m) apart outdoors to reduce humidity pockets and discourage pests.
Setting Up Your Grow Space
Bubblegum Cookies Weed Strain Indoor Cultivation
Use a 4×4 ft grow tent lined with reflective Mylar. Hang full-spectrum LEDs on an 18/6 light schedule throughout the cycle. Install a carbon-filtered exhaust and intake vent to stabilize temperature, humidity, and odor. Position an oscillating fan at canopy level to strengthen stems and prevent hotspots.
Plant in 3–5 gal fabric pots filled with an airy soil mix (pH 6.0–6.5) amended with perlite. Autoflower directly in final containers to avoid transplant shock. Automate lights, fans, and dehumidifier/humidifier with digital controllers for consistent conditions over 8–10 weeks.
Bubblegum Cookies Weed Strain Outdoor Cultivation
Prepare raised beds or fabric pots by mixing native soil with compost and perlite (2:1 ratio). Space plants 3–4 ft apart. Stake or cage stems early to support heavy colas.
Water deeply when the top inch of soil dries, then allow slight dry-down to encourage deep roots. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Shield buds from heavy rain during early flowering with removable tarps or temporary shelters.
Seed Propagation and Germination
Soak Bubblegum Cookies seeds in distilled water for 12–24 hours. Transfer to damp paper towels at 75–80 °F (24–27 °C) until taproots appear (24–48 hours). Plant each seed taproot-down ½ inch into a moist seed-starting mix and cover with a humidity dome.
Keep under 18–20 hours of gentle light and maintain 70–75 °F and 70%–75% RH. Remove the dome gradually over 3–4 days to acclimate seedlings to ambient humidity and airflow. Label each pot to track growth.
Bubblegum Cookies Weed Strain Vegetative Phase
Maintain an 18/6 light schedule with fixtures 18–24 inches above the canopy. Feed a nitrogen-rich nutrient formula (N-P-K 3-1-2) at half strength once weekly. Apply low-stress training (LST) during weeks 2–3 to create a flat canopy and maximize bud sites.
Keep daytime temperatures at 70–78 °F and RH at 55%–65%. Introduce beneficial microbes or a kelp-based foliar spray early to strengthen roots. Prune lower shaded foliage to improve airflow and direct energy to the upper canopy.
Bubblegum Cookies Weed Strain Flowering Phase
Switch to a bloom nutrient high in phosphorus and potassium (N-P-K 1-3-2) once pre-flowers appear. Lower RH to 40%–50% and maintain temperatures of 65–75 °F to boost resin and terpene production.
During weeks 6–8, remove large fan leaves that shade bud sites (“lollipopping”) and support colas with soft plant ties or netting. Begin flushing with plain pH-balanced water in the final week to remove excess salts and refine flavor.
Fertilization and Nutrition
Veg (weeks 1–4): feed N-P-K 3-1-2 at half strength. Early bloom (weeks 5–7): switch to N-P-K 1-3-2. Late bloom (weeks 8–10): finish with N-P-K 0-3-3. Add calcium and magnesium supplements if deficiency signs appear (yellowing or spotting).
Amend soil with worm castings, bone meal, and kelp meal at planting and mid-veg to foster a healthy soil microbiome and enhance terpene profiles. A foliar spray of seaweed extract in early bloom can support bud set without altering root-zone pH.
Pest & Disease Control
Inspect plants daily for spider mites, aphids, and thrips. At first sign of infestation, apply neem oil or insecticidal soap, covering leaf undersides. Use yellow sticky traps to monitor and reduce flying pests.
Maintain strong airflow and avoid overhead watering in flowering to prevent powdery mildew and bud rot. Quarantine new plants for 7 days before introducing them to your main crop to minimize disease risk.
Bubblegum Cookies Weed Strain Harvesting & Curing
Harvest when 70%–80% of trichomes are cloudy with some amber. Cut branches and trim fan leaves immediately, then hang buds upside-down in a dark, ventilated space at 60–70 °F and 50% RH for 7–10 days until stems snap.
Perform a final manicure remove sugar leaves and jar buds loosely in glass containers up to 75% capacity. “Burp” jars for 5–10 minutes daily during the first week, then weekly for 2–4 weeks. Use humidity packs to maintain 58%–62% RH, preserving aroma and potency.
Post-Harvest: Drying, Curing & Storage
After curing, store jars in a cool (60–65 °F), dark environment. For long-term storage beyond 6 months, vacuum-seal buds in Mylar bags with desiccants to reduce oxygen exposure. Label jars with strain and harvest date; check monthly for humidity balance.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Nutrient Imbalances: Yellow leaves indicate nitrogen deficiency; brown, burnt tips signal nutrient burn. Correct by flushing with pH-balanced water, then resume feeding at half strength.
Environmental Stress: Heat stress causes leaf curl; light burn bleaches tips. Raise lights, improve ventilation, and maintain temps below 80 °F. Use a humidifier if RH falls below 40%.
Watering & pH/EC: Overwatering leads to droop; underwatering causes wilting. Water only when the top inch of soil is dry. Maintain pH 6.0–6.5 and EC 1.2–1.8 mS/cm for optimal nutrient uptake.
