So far this is a great start with minimal issues. They got transplanted yesterday in 15 gal containers, no signs of complains or stress. This is my third run with this soil so it got amended with Gaia Green Power Bloom at 1tb spoon per gal. Soil was not cooked so I might see some signs later....
As usual with a strong LED light plants needed extra magnesium to grow healthy leaves, and as usual I forgot to supplement in early vedge. PCK x KC pheno 2 was the most affected. Some tips were also growing twisted, probably because of the pH swing when I used the Sensi CalMag.
Still no training no lst no defo no topping... PCK x KC pheno 1 is about to be ready for topping, just waiting an other 24 to let her fully recover from transplant. She will be HUGE. Might flower her earlier. Both of the PCK x KC grows with great vigour, and indica leaves on a hybrid structure. Nice thick solid stems.
Bubba x Malawi are really growing like indicas: short and tight with wide finger leaves. After removing first node for transplant I was pleased with a nice kushy skunk smell. These might be Bubba dominent! YES!!!!
@HighRoller909, Seedsman used to be good but orders don't end up making it thru customs anymore
stealth just doesn't cut it unfortunately . I may try one of the other "seedbanks" but because they won't send original breeder packs It is unknown whether you are actually getting what you paid for??
@sativaman, the truth shall be revealed only after curing. I think some terpenes stay only for a short time and some are shy. The shy terpenes comes out only after a month or so i. The jar. Sativa is some time like this.
I smoke joint so not a big fan of kush. I think kush is great with a bong.
@Med_in_Tropic, I did not know about Katsu. Just saw a vid on youtube he explains the difference and origins of pre-98 Bubba kush and the Katsu cut. then he comments: if I give you the 2 different bags to smoke you would know instantly they both are Bubba Kush and pronably won't be able to identify witch is witch..
Happy to hear that!! Characteristics should be very similar...
@Med_in_Tropic,...
Truth is I feel very sad and beyond disappointed!!!! I was growing this for taste and effects, this special cut of Bubba is not what I expected. ACE just broke hart!!
Dear friend, you may have mite infestation. This could cause more trouple on some strain than other. Ace did listed resitance to spider mite on PCK x KC to be "average-high". For me, if it is not very high then it would need attention.
Well @sativaman, what works for 6 legged insects may or may not work for eight legged mites. I had a heck of a time with mites at the moment. Comes with the wet season.
@Med_in_Tropic, Oh yeah.. I forgot.. also have on hands some diatomaceous earth spray but it shoots like a jet it is designed for ants nest.. (Ants don't care about diatomaceous heart and it did not hurt them)
@Med_in_Tropic, I sure hope it is not mites.. never had any mites issues indoor. I cannot see any bugs or signs even with the jewellers lope. No signs of web or honey like with aphids.
From my experience running these LED it still can be a Magnesuim problem. Really crossing my fingers for a mag deficiency. Letting the soil drying out a bit and tomorrow I will drench it with a triple dose of epsom salts and see what happens.
Otherwise I have some 'Doctor Doom Spider Mite Knock Out' I used it on my basil plants a few years ago: all leaves turned black, dried and died..๐ฐ๐ฑ Last resort insecticide...
@Med_in_Tropic,..Yep!! in fact I did not realised the Bublawis are advanced as well!! (Gotta say that pre-flowers started very soon after week 8. I am not counting days from flip to 12-12 but rather when I detect firsts pre-flowers).
@Grey_Wolf, I am not quite sure now mate! Just went true defoliation and they smell like Bubba! (great stickiness already!) Stem is thick and sturdy not like old Sativa would be. I would love any of the combinations: Bubba would be one of my favourite Indica and Malawi my top Sativa. Cannot wait see the outcome!!!
