Stretch for Bublawis was impressive, between 3 - 4 times bigger after flip, leaning mostly Malawi with long colas and sativa structure. Still, plant 2 is a little more compact with rounder crown type top flowers. And they both have huge thick stems mostly coming from the Bubba. Both also have that dank pungent smell associated to Bubba's genetics. A true delight for me! π...π Hope they keep going in that direction.
The PCK x KC seems to be on a race to finish. This is amazing because if the Bublawis have solid nuggets they will need more airflow to avoid all mold!!!! Trichomes are coming along nicely with bubble heads. Smell is a little different this week when rubbing stems natural oils bring aromas of celery and lemon. Let's keep in mind she has been showing flowers earlier so this is week 3 for her. I think she's just under half way done witch is impressive!! I've spotted a few purple trichomes, there is 3 in the last picture.
They all drink A LOT !! I'm fairly new to soil and organic: used to be a Coco guy. I've upend my watering routine for this cycle keeping a close eye on them. They seems to enjoy it. Now giving 2gal of tap every 3 days. Luckily, tap here is 75 ppm π water is naturally pretty clean.
We are having a late fall here so temps are pretty high for this time of the year. Because of that I will not be flowering under 600w hps I will have to keep them under the QBs.
I am blessed this time again with awesome genetics and the freedom of growing them. Got a nice grow so far with 3 different styles of flowers. All 3 plants have a few browning hairs this is kinda early... Had to tripled check for hermie for possible pollination. So far so good (I think!!) π.
@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..π°π± 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!!!
