Plant looks great. Got some growing left tho. As long as she is throwing out white pistils and looking healthy, I would let it get fatter.

Some of my pistils are starting to turn amber and curl in is that an issue?

that’s expected from what i’m aware of. She looks good!
They will, over time, all turn Amber and turn back to the flower. You want this to happen as it means the plant is nearly the end of her flower cycle. When about 75-80% of the hairs have done this, look at the trichomes (crystals) and these little sugary dots will tell you when to harvest. This is the chart I use, you can ignore the graph at the bottom. Good luck and happy growing!!!

So the buds should definitely swell up a little more? I was worried I was looking at grow journals and could not find a bubblegum that goes pat week 10. I appreciate your help thanks.
Happy Growing

Your buds will fatten up no worries brother! I got one plant super fat buds and one plant with popcorn nugs and I was just worried about this last week. Come this week they got a lot bigger and put my mind at ease. But im running shooting powder for week 7 and 8 which is supposed to fatten them up rather nicely

Ya they’ll fatten up some for ya. I had one that looked like it was breathing. It’s be swelled real fat one day, then slimmer the next, then fat again. It stayed fat the last couple weeks, though.
Still has a few weeks is that auto or photoperiod if its auto flower it should have two to three weeks more if photoperiod it can go for 12weeks of flower sometimes even longer autos have been known to go to 11-12 weeks

Get a usb microscope on Amazon for $20.00. Look at the trichomes under it. They have 3 stages. Clear, milky, and amber. You want like 85% or more milky. At least 85% is what I’ve read not sure if it’s correct.
My 2nd round of autos are 6 weeks old. They started showing pistils at 3 weeks. They seem small to me, hopefully they will pack in some size. My tallest is about 14”
Also, any ideas why the lower leaves are yellowing. I haven’t fed in over a week and last time was using Botanicare Bloom, I think it’s

Plant looks good. I remember when I grew my bubblegum it was part of my first grow. It was the last plant to be done but ended up having the most weight. Give yours some time to run it’s course. Have you smoked it before?
