Lost one of Bubba's bubbas... lol anyways the plan was to do two GDP and two Bubba Kush but one Bubba failed to germinate so there's a new plan. So just one Bubba, and in a separate diary ill show the Pure Indica I threw in there but a week behind so in a few days that one will go up as well. The lone survivor is doing well though, some slight yellowing compared to the GDP's but nothing to worry about. Just giving them about 200ppm of CALiMAGic pH around 6.5, watering when soil appears dry.

Little lady looking real down after losing her sister at germination.. but seriously I think she isn't taking as much water as the rest in the tent so Ill have to dial back the amount of water for her in the coming days and see how she reacts.

Well.. after watching this lady the past week she hasn't responded much different to any more or any less water so maybe she will just look droopy the entire grow. Some of the newer growth appears "happier" so we'll see but she grows just fine. Still the same 200ppm of CALiMAGic at around 6.5 pH when dry.

Still growing a little strange, droopy newer growth but it seems to straighten out as she grows out more. Topping didn't go so well, snipped the tips of the leaves on the new tops but one of them is still growing. May have to chop off some of the upper fan leaves due to lack of light underneath and the short stocky build of the plant makes it difficult to bend over for training. Hopefully she figures it out as she grows larger. CALiMAGic, Armor Si, and a weekly dose of Rercharge for now.

She's continuing her strange growth.. she seems healthy overall just has a very tight nodes making it difficult to get even lighting down into the plant. Did some defoliation this week, probably going to start some light nutrients this week to see if she opens up some more.

Still continuing her strange growth.. I'm just hoping she stretches out a little bit once flowering begins because the node and branch spacing are to close together for comfort 😂 I don't want any mold issues. Apart from that she seems to be doing well, has responded to the defoliations and a topping very well just grows very indica-like. Also switched into the 12 hour light cycle a couple of days ago, so hopefully some pistils within the week.

Added some tie downs shortly before taking these pictures so she looks a little stressed but she wont stretch out like the other plants, starting to assume she is hungrier than the rest. But hopefully the tie downs will allow the lower branches to get light exposure but everything just grows so tightly on this Bubba Kush. Also added a layer of diatomaceous earth on the soil due to a sighting of a couple gnats to hopefully stop anything from progressing there.

Still doing her strange thing.. finally showing pistils but unfortunately I discovered them after taking pictures. I will to make sure to keep an eye on this one as the Pure Indica I had next to her was a hermie and got chopped a few days after pictures. All seems to be okay for the time being.

Starting to look a little more healthy as she gets more nutrients heading into flower. Did some defoliation as she just stays so compact the lower growth has very little light exposure. But finally, we have pistils as long as the stress doesn't cause another hermie in the tent.

Finally starting to look like she's actually flowering.. was worried for a few days but I believe we are in the clear as there was a hermie in this tent already.. Aside from that, everything seems fine. Trichomes are starting to form and smell amazing so I hope she makes it to harvest, I've had to do some intensive defoliation on this one because she just stays extremely compact which was also slightly worrying considering the hermie plant I hardly touched which was nearby. Anyways, Liquid KoolBloom will be introduced this week and potentially lowering the light some more.

She is surprisingly moving rather quickly as the pistils are exploding out of everywhere it seems like but her overall size hardly changes. You can tell she is stretching more, allowing for the net to be useful now but the compactness of this pheno or maybe the strains genes alone but its insane to me. Also, started some KoolBloom this week.

Its been quite hot the past couple of weeks and that's definitely playing a role in slowing the vigorousness but all we can do is just push through to harvest.. hopefully. But she smells amazing and continues to grow extremely compact so we will see how it goes. Just defoliation this week, also have been continuing with the once weekly dose of Real Growers Recharge since sprout.

Missed the update last week due to the discovery of my other tent's buds were full of seeds.. unsure if it was related to the hermie in this tent I had or if it was something else. Anyways, we will still be pushing through to harvest as the buds on this Bubba Kush continue to develop but very slowly. I haven't seen any signs of a hermie or seeds but only time will tell I suppose. She does have an amazing smell though so hopefully we will get something from her. Nice colors starting to develop as well.

She's really starting to look nice and bulk up.. unfortunately my other tent hermied pretty bad but so far this Bubba Kush plant seems to be the only ILGM seed this run that didn't hermie. This Bubba Kush does have a fantastic smell to her I wasn't entirely sure I was going to make it this far based on the structure of the plant early on. Plan to move to just KoolBloom next week and begin flushing after that as she begins now to create some purple hues. Pictures don't do much justice under this light.. but she seems to be doing well.

She has bulked up quite a bit in the last week, probably the biggest weight difference in a weeks time so far. Started flushing her after a couple doses of just KoolBloom late last week so I will probably chop her down in the next few days. So I may not have another update until after the drying and curing process. Her colors are very nice with a purple/red fade slowly creeping in.. the light makes it hard to capture accurate colors on the camera but she looks great. Did not think this plant was going to make it at first but I'm glad she did.

Quality buds, tasted and smelled fantastic. Didn't get very many pictures post harvest as I was in the moving process but I would certainly give this strain another run in a better environment but for now we are moving onto the next strain, looking for even better quality and better plant structure.
