The smell is unbelievable. It smells sugary and sweet. I need to burn candles that smell like this.

how old is she from seed? just curious how long some of the bubblicious take to start flowering... people had issues in past with them not flowering but i'd love to try a bubblegum auto

This bean sprouted at the end of September. I had heat issues with an HPS bulb and almost killed her (I had no where to vent the heat). I switched to CFLs and she took off.

As for Prez2.0, I too didn't think she'd ever flower. A few weeks ago I was going to be out of town for five days. I said screw it and changed the lights from 18/6 to 12/12. I also added more bloom nutes to the reservoir, and wha-la. I came home to a flowered plant. I don't know if that made a difference for this autoflower, but hey, it worked for me.

Questions though....Do I need to be patient for the buds to swell, or do I need to do something else to make them blow up? Or are they right on track?
Here is a pic of the buds this morning, now about 3 weeks into flower.

Hmm very strange if she was started at the end of September. You should be looking at a plant thats almost done right now. So she has also been under 12/12 for 3 weeks right?
