Had a major heat wave this end but she is now picking up! Still keeping her short stature and close node spacing, she has really shot up the past couple days, a whole 7cm. Not much to report until I start plant training. Stay tuned. -FlavoursUk
Bubba’s gift, well she was topped today which is a little late for me as I’d of done at week 3/4 normally. Wanted her to be happy and healthy before adjustments were made. So far so good. Thanks for following along.
Slight mix up with my weeks, was posting a week in front when I was actually a week behind! School boy error due to running quiet a few other strains not only in the tent but another location! Anyway! Week 6! She's growing a treat, trying to figure out weather or not i have a keeper pheno, but time will tell.. Hoping to see some nice colours so feeding fairly light. She's had a little defoliation to open up the potential bud sites for when I flip her to flower. No problems so far, resilient plant. Very happy. May flip at the end of week 6, currently at day 44 so another 4 days left! Thanks for following along. Stay tuned.
This week there has been some nice growth, a bit of supercropping and leaf defoliation. Super surprised to be seeing pre flowers 4 days into flower. Hate having to defol a perfectly healthy growing plant but its for a bigger cause, it will help with light penetration which means bigger, nicer buds.
No immediate change in nutrients other than the added 0.2ml of bloom/astroflower. Will keep things the same depending on what the plant is telling me. So far she is doing really well. As I'm already near the end of week one flower, I'll let her recover a bit and post end of week 2. Thanks for tuning in. 😋
Bubbas Gift, real Indica.. still waiting for the flower stretch to kick-in, although I know it has already. Depending on how she turns out, definitely a keeper and may even monster crop at harvest.
Anyway, no real changes in feeding other than increasing the bloom/Astro by 0.2ml putting it up to 0.4ml. Cal-Mag and Micro at 0.6ml. Soon to completely cut out grow by week 3. Will then increase Astro/Bloom. Reason being is she's a light feeder and I'm not risking burning her. No problems with her so far at all, her structure is short and squat and gets bushier by the day. She recovered from the last defoliation pretty quickly but I won't do anymore until the end of week 3 and what I do take off will be very selective. Anyway guys thanks for tuning in, back in a week with an update!
Bubbas Gift seems to be progressing along fine, heard she's not a big yielder but we will see. Already seeing a couple brown hairs and normally when you start seeing the brown hairs theres around 21 days left but again we shall see. Nutrients are adjusted to suit flowering a bit more now. Thanks for following and back with updatesoon.
Bubbas Gift Week 4 - Some healthy progress, can really see the buds started to thicken up and lengthen. Due to this I've increased the Remo Astro/Bloom and cut out
Remo Grow. Soon to drop the Cal-Mag, Micro & Velokelp to ensure the best flush, this will be at around day 35. Bloom nutrients will also be stopped at around day 38/40 but will re evaluate this on the next update once I see how she is doing. Thanks for following, commenting and showing love. Appreciate it.

End of week 5 for Bubbas Gift. Had her last feed of nutrients on day 33. Day 35 today and will be starting the flush till day 50 when she should hopefully be faded and ready to harvest. Her buds are very dense, rock hard in fact.. she's giving off a really nice scent but can't quiet pin point what. Pleased with her so far, and a quick flowering girl! Back with updates next week, thanks for following.
All is well, but thats due to everything being dialled in for the last couple weeks of flower as i have other girls flowering in the same tent. Buds are fat and dense. She has been in flush 6 days so far, hoping she is going to be ready within the next week or so, she has started to fade too which is a good sign.. Hopefully in time for harvest day around day 50, although that is just a rough guide, she will be chopped when she is ready. Stay tuned and until next time. Thanks people.
Bubbas Gift, she grew well and is pretty effortless to maintain, now at day 55 which is chop day for her. She has had a 20 day flush. Some really fat dense buds, just not as much as there could be. I always grow out strains I've not grown before, for a short period to see what qualities the strain has before deciding to then run a whole tent of them etc. Otherwise it could be a waste of my time. But will see what kind of quality she has in the smoke report after a dry and cure with some Boveda humidity packs. Thanks all for following along with my grow log, appreciate the comments and support. Back with another update after she's dry.
Very easy strain to grow that’s has little to no stretch from transition from veg to flower. Fairly quick flowering time. Super fat, dense buds. Real unique tasting strain as I can’t pin point an exact flavour. Good all round strain. If you grow her you’ll need to veg her to the final size you want her at. Loads of purple in my pheno, which is aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
Gratz on the harvest! I'm right behind you. I'm at 50 days this Monday. I think I will be going dark soon after and harvesting by the next week.
Those buds look great! Yours appear to have some purple to them as well.
I agree with you about the whole tent thing. After seeing what this strain can do, I'm looking forward to growing the other 4 and really working them.
@FlavoursUk, My nighttime temps are in the low 70s, high 60s on a cooler night. I started noticing some color a few weeks ago, but at first I thought it was the lights.
Its a great idea to let your first run of a strain grow out pretty naturally. In particular it gives you some keen insights on how this strain likes to grow. I made the mistake of not letting first auto grow out naturally. The buds were nice, the high was great, but I'm sure I could've doubled my harvest with just a few tweeks. I'll know better next time I run that strain. I made sure to put my concerns in my Grow Diary so I wouldn't forget.
@Quexos, Thanks. Yeah, some purple on the outside as well as the insides. I find dropping the night temperatures helps bring out purples in phenos that have that genetic trait.
But yeah, definitely.. I always test run a strain before fully committing to growing her out with longer veg times etc. Look forward to it and I’ll keep an eye out 👍
looking nice bro I noticed with my last one of these u need to do a good veg to get a good yield of these as they flower extra quick with no stretch really and are very light feeders I didn't finish my last diary of bubbas gift as couldn't get pics but only got around 2 oz of her but was a nice smoke very different flavour for sure im definitely trying her again with a bigger veg and lighter feed looking forward to see your harvest bro
@biggreens420, Thanks mate. Yeah, definitely.. first strain I've come across with next to no stretch. Didn't have the space to veg her longer as I had quiet a few strains running at once but I will definitely give her another run and do a couple plants with a 8-12 week veg if she's a good smoke. Hopefully not too far off now mate, so harvest soon! 👍
Oh yes, your well into bloom now and looking in great shape. Nice big fat Bubbas Gift buds forming, and the trichome production looks amazing ✌️
Nice work mate 👍
Kind regards
Team-HSO..
@Quexos, I've just updated this diary and her buds are fat and rock hard now. Looking like she will be finished in around 10-14 days. Maybe less. Glad to hear yours is going well though, keep it up. If you need any help with anything just drop me a message pal.
@FlavoursUk, She does seem to be developing her buds really fast. I'm growing a similar looking strain next to Bubba. She is a lot more developed than the other one. I like seeing the comparison between the development of two similar strains.
Beautiful job with the defoliation my friend, this will allow much deeper light penetration and free up some extra energy for the remaining plant 👍
Things are looking great in here 😎
Thank you for the diary update mate, we will drop back in on the next ✌️
Kind regards
Team-HSO..
@Flavoursuk, nice to see you are well into bloom now. Nice flowers forming and a lot of budsites showing. One thing with Bubbas gift, the stretch is very minimal. Personally the most I've faced is 1.5x stretch. So if I flip at 50cm tall the end height at maximum would be 125cm after the stretch.
You are looking in tip top shape my friend 👊
Keep up the great work, we are watching with interest 👍
Kind regards
Team-HSO..
@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, Thanks pal, things are going super considering I mixed my weeks up, now officially in week 6.. She is doing even better than expected. Will be flipping her into flower in a couple days! 😌
Congratz on the harvest! And you're right about the quick flowering. I'm in week 4 of flowering now and you can see the difference in size changing day by day. Enjoy these flowers 😋
Bubbas gift entering the final phase 👍
Those buds have swelled up a treat and crystal coverage looks amazing 😎
The leaves are yellowing up now showing that the plant is using up all stored nutrients in preparation for harvest 👊
Time to start the flush my friend 👊
Thank you for the diary update, keep them coming as you are super close to harvest 👍
With love from Humboldt County ✌️
Kind regards
Team-HSO..
Looking great! I'm growing the same strain with the same nutrients and our plants are about the same age. Nice to compare 😉 How long are you planning on vegging?
Good luck! 👊
@Flavoursuk, it's not that they are realy over finishing times. 8-9 weeks of flowering for the Jack Herer and today it's been 11 weeks since the switch. But the real flowering time doesn't start with the switch but when there are lots of pistels forming, usualy around 2-3 weeks after the switch. But you probably already know this stuff 😁
So they are in the 9the week of real flowering and harvest is coming up one of these days.
I just didn't expect these Bubba's to grow this fast for indica's.
@@JackSpliff, Yeah, I feel your pain. Got a few others running along side the bubba’s gift and it’s a pain when previous strains you’re running go over finishing times, growing pains! Ordered a new tent so should be ok real soon and more space.
@Flavoursuk, same here. I'm waiting for my Jack Herer grow to be finished, wich takes longer than I thought. Gonna give them 15L then (growbags).
This is a very bushy strain and tends not to stretch much after the switch, so I'm planning to veg them long enough.
Best of luck with the grow mate and great to see you are making use of your prizes and very fast :)
This is just what we like to see so needless to say we will be along for the ride and watching with interest 👍
Until next time 😉
Kind regards
Team-HSO..
@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, Definitely has been a challenge without the AC unit! But a few changes and we're good! Picking up now.
Glad I haven't switched yet, still yet to top and train her a bit. She is looking promising, just as a reference is she a light feeder or heavy? -I Always start off light regardless but in order to push her boundaries would be good to know.
Thanks for dropping in Mark, updates to follow.
@Flavoursuk, not a problem my friend and great to see the prizes are being put to good use 😎
The heat has been tough world wide and you look to be handling things well and plants look unaffected👍
If this was the flower stage we could have problems but you are still in the vegative stage, and looking good.
Let's hope things cool down before bloom mode 👍
Thanks for the update mate, we will drop back in on the next 👊
Kind regards
Mark..
@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, Thanks buddy! Couldn’t wait, seen and heard great things about bubba’s gift.
Pay close attention as it’s going to be a great grow ;) Thanks again for the prizes!
Congrats on your harvest mate 💪 those buds look dank ❄️🔥 it's a shame she needs a couple more weeks in veg to compensate for the small stretch, but she does smell beaut 👌 I've got one coming down in a couple weeks time 👊🦊
Big fat Bubbas gift buds dripping in trichomes, just what we want to see 👍
By the look of things you have about 14 day's remaining. Would you agree mate?
Kind regards
Team-HSO..
Bubbas gift does start to show brown/orange pistils very fast into bloom. This is a genetic trait and going of the pictures I would say another 21-28 days remaining my friend 👊
Your looking at a day 45-50 finish 👊
Fantastic work mate 😎
Kind regards
Team-HSO..
Good to know that they're showing this much pre-flowers so soon. Makes me wanna push vegging time even longer with this strain. Good luck with the flowering👍
