Fellow cannabis enthusiast, Welcome to my garden !!
Flowering is going nice and smooth! Plants are thirstier than ever, drinking almost a gal a day. Light have been raised to the highest, as I've just realised I am burning my leaves on Bublawi #1. Ripening phase is just around the corner for the Bublawis and is ending this week on the PCK x KaliChina.
The Bublawis are showing personalities and I can see the difference between the 2 phenotypes. Plant 1 is definitively Malawi dominant. She screams Malawi !! The smell is turning more tropical and nutty with grape undertones, and the structure and bud shape are distinctive of the African landrace. Leaf fingers are a tad wider but I know ACE Malawi have some pheno with this characteristic. Time will tell, smoke test will confirm. Plant 2 is a dense shorter bush !damn did I defoliated her since veg. but she is just leafy over leafy. It shows all along colas and in bud structure. If the resin production is good to excellent, I can deal with it=) ...But If it's a weak pheno I will not Love her anymore!!!! Again, time will tell. Smell is turning sweet and flowery, with touch of pine.
The PCK x KaliChina. These are free seeds. They have lab results with 12% THC, on the Low side for me. Growing them for fun and curiosity. And bexause WE NEVER KNOW! what pheno is hidden un the shell of a seed!!! Well, she is over half way done THIS IS THE FASTEST plant I ever had!! Here in Quebec Canada we used to have M39 strain ready to chop in 39 days it was garbage tasteless low THC strain!! Personal record is 52 days but this pheno have exceptional characteristic, really early to ripen!! She is entering harvest window and I bet this is her last 10 days!! Good news: Resin production is exceptional and the smell is addictive. Bad news: She is just the leafiest plant ever with small nnuggets!
@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!!!
