Auto Bubble by Female Seeds – Fast Autoflowering Bubble Gum Genetics for Sweet, Relaxing Buds

Auto Bubble by Female Seeds is your express ticket to the legendary sweet, gum-flavoured buds of Bubble Gum, without the wait. This autoflowering powerhouse condenses the classic experience into a compact, fast-finishing plant that's perfect for growers of all levels.

Ever wanted that iconic Bubble Gum taste but felt intimidated by photoperiod schedules or limited on space? You're not alone. Many growers miss out on classic flavours because they think they need a big setup or months of patience. Auto Bubble solves that by delivering the same sweet, resin-packed experience in just about 10 weeks from seed to harvest, all while staying under 60 cm (23.62 in). It's the hassle-free way to get top-shelf flavour.

Phase 1: Preparing Your Space and Mindset

Before you pop a seed, get your environment dialled in. Autoflowers have a fixed timeline, so a smooth start is crucial for maximising yield.

• Choose Your Final Pot Early: Auto Bubble doesn't like root disturbance. Start in its final pot of 11–20 L (2.90–5.28 gal) to avoid transplant shock.
• Select the Right Substrate: Use a light, airy soil mix or coco coir for optimal root development. A good base like Soil A + B provides a balanced start.
• Set Up Your Climate: Aim for 22–26 °C (71.6–78.8 °F) and 60–70% humidity for germination and early seedling stage.
• Plan Your Light Cycle: Autoflowers run 18–20 hours of light daily. Ensure your LED grow lights are ready and at the correct distance.

Phase 2: Germination and Seedling Kick-Off

This phase sets the pace. A strong start means a vigorous plant.

1. Germinate: Use your preferred method (paper towel, glass of water) at 22–25 °C (71.6–77 °F). The seed should crack within 24–48 hours.
2. Plant Carefully: Once the taproot is about 1 cm (0.39 in) long, plant it 0.5–1 cm deep in your pre-moistened final pot.
3. First Water: Water lightly around the seedling, not directly on it. Keep the medium moist but not soggy.
4. Early Environment: Maintain high humidity (70%) and gentle light. A root stimulator like Raziel - Root Bio-Stimulant can encourage strong early development.

Phase 3: Vegetative Growth and Training

Auto Bubble grows quickly. This is where you guide its structure for maximum light exposure.

1. Light Intensity: Increase light intensity as the plant grows, keeping it 30–50 cm (11.81–19.69 in) from the canopy.
2. Low-Stress Training (LST): Gently bend and tie down main branches during weeks 2–4. This opens up the plant for better light penetration and more bud sites. Avoid topping or aggressive pruning with autos.
3. Watering Rhythm: Let the top layer of soil dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering is a common mistake.
4. Start Feeding: Begin with a mild, balanced vegetative nutrient around week 2. Autoflowers are light feeders, so start at half strength.
5. Monitor Environment: Gradually lower humidity to 50–60% and keep temperatures steady.

Phase 4: Flowering, Ripening, and Harvest

The magic happens here. Watch for the shift to flowering and support your plant for a heavy finish.

1. Flowering Trigger: Auto Bubble will automatically start flowering around weeks 3–4. You'll see white pistils at the nodes.
2. Switch Nutrients: Transition to a bloom-focused fertilizer. Products like Bloom Stimulator B'Cuzz can help boost bud development.
3. Environmental Control: Lower humidity to 40–50% to prevent mould. Ensure excellent airflow around the dense buds.
4. Support Branches: As buds swell, they may need support. Use soft ties or a SCROG net if you trained the plant.
5. The Final Flush: In the last 7–10 days, feed only plain, pH-balanced water. This improves final taste and smoothness.
6. Harvest Time: Check trichomes with a jeweller's loupe. For a more energetic high, harvest when most are milky. For a heavier, relaxing effect, wait until 20–30% turn amber. This is typically around week 10 from seed.

Phase 5: Drying and Curing for Perfect Flavour

Patience here rewards you with the full, sweet Bubble Gum aroma.

• Dry Slowly: Hang whole plants or branches in a dark room at 18–22 °C (64.4–71.6 °F) and 50–60% RH for 10–14 days.
• Cure Properly: Once stems snap, trim buds and place them in airtight jars. Burp the jars daily for the first two weeks, then weekly for another 2–4 weeks. This process mellows the smoke and intensifies the flavour.
• Storage: Keep cured buds in a cool, dark place. The sweet, gum-like scent will be preserved.

Advantages of Following This Autoflower-Specific Flow

• Maximised Yield in Minimal Time: You work with the plant's natural autoflowering rhythm, avoiding mistakes that stunt growth.
• Fewer Nutrient Issues: A phased approach prevents overfeeding, a common pitfall with fast-growing autos.
• Optimal Bud Development: Proper environment control during flowering leads to denser, more resinous buds.
• Preserved Terpene Profile: Correct drying and curing lock in the iconic sweet Bubble Gum flavour.
• Confidence for Future Grows: Mastering this process makes growing any autoflowering marijuana seeds much easier.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I've run Auto Bubble a few times in my personal tent, and it's become a go-to for a reliable, flavourful harvest without the fuss. My biggest lesson early on was respecting the autoflower timeline. I made the mistake of transplanting once, and it cost me a week of growth. Now, I always start in the final pot—a 15 L (3.96 gal) fabric pot with a light soil mix works perfectly.

The sweet, candy-shop smell that fills the room around week 6 is unmistakable. I found it responds brilliantly to gentle LST. I start bending the main stem early, which gives me a flat, even canopy that really maximises the light from my LED. Compared to other autos, its mould resistance is solid, but in late flower, I still keep a fan gently moving air through the dense buds. The high is exactly what I want after a long day: mentally uplifting at first, then melting into a relaxed, comfortable body stone without being overwhelming. It's the perfect balance for me.
