She's growing strong, I have to mention that the germ rate of Bubba Kush from GHS has been an issue for quite a long time now. Germed 4 and only 1 made it pass the soil. The experience is kinda underwhelmed and disappointed.
I thought the leaves showed sign of magnesium def so I fixed it by foliar spray with Botanicare CalMag but the symptom still spread to newer leaves so I thought this might caused nutrient burn due to high ratio of worm compost I mix with peat. So I flush the pot at the end of the week. To be continued....
Turned out it wasn't nutrient burn because I already flushed last week. I thought that this has something to do with light and temp in the tent but the weird thing is that she is the only one out of 4 in the tent that showed leaves problem. She might be too sensitive to the environment. I did LST on Thursday and FIM (5th internode) her on Saturday.
This week the plant started to take shape. I continue the LST bending down as low as I can to spread out the canopy. I did FIM on one of the top, plant didn't show sign of stress at all.
Plant started to stretch both horizontally and vertically really fast and approaching my flipping limit at 50 cm. I tried to spread out more budding site and even out the canopies.
The plant was growing nicely and hit my 50 cm target. I lolipopped at the start of the week and defoliated some unhealthy leaves. I let it recover for 3 days before the flip.
The plant stretched pretty fast as expected. I installed SCROG net to spread out the canopies even more, the vertical stretch didn't seem like a problem anymore, but the horizontal stretch started to get me worry because I put too many plants in there. I defoliated lightly.
The plant showed sign of sex this week. She continued to stretch but still managable. Tiny visible buds started to form. I defoliated lightly to open up light to the lower canopy area. I also started implementing CO2 in the tent this week with solenoid valve and a CO2 controller. I have set the PPM target to 1800 ppm. The light at canopy was around 1200-800 depending on the locations.
Stretching had been slowly stopped, I thought the stretching phase is about to end now, buds started to swollen up slowly with very tight internode. She has one of the densest leaves to buds ratio I have seen. I defoliated heavily this week and this should be the last heavy defoliation for her. I also ramped up nutes ppm to around 1500 with no sign of tip burn. She showed no sign of stress. I will continue to push the ppm even further.
Hey man
I'm currently growing a Bubba Kush from Blimburn Seeds & had same issue with germination - 1 of 5 germinated. Maybe a deficiency in that strain?
Anyway good luck with your grow 👊
@@Lamar_Vannoy, Thank you for the comment man, that is interesting. So I check it with another strain King's Juice also from GHS. I germ 1 seed and the root quickly showed within 24 hour. I can't really tell if this is strain specific or GHS issue. As far as I can tell people have been having trouble germing GHS's Bubba Kush since 2010. I'll keep record on their others strains.
