Received yesterday (420) this beautiful parcel from @GreenhouseSeedCo. ❤️Stoked to grow this beautiful strain.
Bubba Slush👍.
One seed is germinating right now. Due to lack of space right now it may well be my only entry from this great contest
No hiccups yet. Huge leaves on her. Tbh I never seen a seedling two weeks in with such huge leaves. This might land me in trouble. I'm in the middle of a run and hurting for space. If she grows too much too quick I might have to remove her from enclosed grow space with LED artificial lighting to my varanda with sun to stall until I make some space for her. No doubt she's going to be beautiful. Very excited to be growing this strain.
She's so beautiful. Truly mesmerizing. Her huge overlapping leaves, her thick stems her tight structure, the way she grows, symetry. This plant will be so much fun to train I can hardly wait. Loving everything about her.
Also very impressed with this nutrient. Super easy to use and so far it's doing great.
The 4" rockwool is pretty much done. I don't know if I put another one and keep going soiless or put her in soil.
3 weeks and 3 days she was mainlined. Always feel sorry for them after doing that.
Tomorrow I have to decide if I put her in soil or keep going rockwool and add a brick
Soil it is...
The plan now is to stall the heck out of it. Under sunlight waiting for a spot in my grow closet
Ok the stalling is over. I've cut her back drastically but it will be the last time I do so. Im going to let her loose now.
In approx 4 weeks I'll have space under my led to flower her out.
As u can see I've taken 2 clones and put them in a rockwool cube. If they make it I'll grow them in rockwool so I can compare the final product to one grown in soil.
She doesn't look like much now but in no time she will be a thing of beauty
-mom-
So I had a tiny problem with my plant (the mom). pests. this is the problem I have with soil. tiny little cuntz. I don't know their name. tbh not interested. I've had them before. they suck the sap from leaves leaving tiny lighter spots (check vid if interested)
so I gave an aggressive foliar spray. then I watched a movie, smoked some bowls and fell asleep before washing residue. the lights came on and before I was even awake the light was burning spots on my leaves.
I was kinda bummed out. it's not serious, I know she will recover so I wasn't too worried but one never likes to see plants with problems. to me personally the eyesore physically hurts. plus this could have been avoided so it annoys even more.
the good news is no more pests. I can't see them and the new leaves don't have the tell tale sign these suckers leave. all good
today I went to water her and first pistils. I was kinda expecting that to happen since days are getting shorter (13.5 hours of wich only about 3 are DIRECT sunlight) but I was also hoping she would hold off for another week at least since I still don't have real estate for her under the lights. I'mma hold off 4 or 5 days and put her and her clones under the light so they can flower out in style. nature calls one must oblige.
Besides I don't like when plants flower and reveg and reflower. all kinds of weirdness happens, messes up their structure.
-clones-
I cut 2 clones and stuck 'em in same 3" rockwool cube. I had never done so but I only had room for the one pot. I did so because I only had 4 weeks to veg something out to replace the ak47 that flowered and I dripped off in the woods (didn't abandoned her, I still go and cater to her needs every 3 days) so I needed a plant fast and thought two plants in one pot would dramatically save veg time and I might just make it) my idea was to simulate a mainline but each clone would be half of a traditional mainline shooting 4 tops each. unfortunately one of the clones rooted much quicker and it screwed up the simmetry I was after. Now I'm thinking maybe one side will have 6 tops and the other 4. I'm pushing it a bit hopefully I won't regret this decision since I'm very limited in the grow space I have. one has to be resourceful in dealing with such problem.
Apart from that clones are doing great. vigorous growth and just beautiful foliage. in 2 or 3 days I'll step them up into a new home. a 20 liter fabric pot. can't wait to see her flowers and experience the aroma she has to offer.
I'm really looking forward to growing this strain.
LETS GROWWWW !!! 💪👨🚒👊
So far so good. No Issues.
I'm loving this fertilizer. So simple and easy to use. So far they look gorgeous. Of course I have to see flower but I think I'll be using this from now on. alot different to mixing all these 7 or 8 different bottles like before.
it's my first time growing this so I was afraid she would stretch too much so I flipped them quite soon.
im installing a new dehumidifier so I must stay vigilant and monitor the level to know how strong I need to have it set.
I can see the plant has alot of energy as the buds are forming quite quick considering it's been 7 days since first pistils.
is resin production just a night thing?or mostly night? or steady 24/7? I heard it's MOSTLY night. but there's alot of myths. wondered if anyone knows.
Resin production is 24/7, it is for protection of the plants from bugs first, birds, sun, rain, etc. There are ways to lightly stress your plants near the end to make them create even more resin. Light moved down for an hour or 2 here and there but not long enough to damage your tops, just long enough to trigger resin protection. This I do in the last week. Always with a fan blowing over them so the bud isnt heating, just getting to much light, like I said, not for too long. Cheers
So I got a cheap dehumidifier on Craigslist. that was cool. it's going to take a while before I have ideal grow situation but the important thing is to make it work and improving everyday. this one is very bulky. probably overkill but I rather on that side of the spectrum.
yeah this lady is full of energy . it's quite impresive how far the buds have come along in only a week. she hasn't stretched much. Im aiming for about 35 cm colas because anything more I'll have to super crop and get creative since my grow space is quite small.
--
today is week on week 2 for the clones. their mom is 18 days ahead.
she's been a very pleasurable strain to grow.
I do wish I had vegged the clones for longer. I didn't trigger mom, she bloomed on her own so it is what it is. but having seen she that she stretches very little I should have gone 2 or 3 more nodes before flipping. thing is I thought mom stretched very little because she had very little foliage as I had an issue with it. next time I will let them go a little longer. she's doesn't stretch much at all. my growspace is quite small but next time 2 or 3 more nodes before flipping them I reckon considering the space I have
hey. so I know obviously each model is different also depending on the country. trying to get a sense of how much it will costo to have a dehumidifier running 24/7 ? with enough answers I can get a good sense. cheers
Hey!
You can get an exact calculation of how much it would cost you to run it 24 hours.
This is all you have to do.
1. Check the device wattage (watts), lets say its 100watts..
2. Multiply 100w x 24 (Hours Used Per Day) = 2.400 Watt-hours (Wh) Device usage per Day.
3. Devide Device Usage 2.400 (Wh) / 1000 (Wh/kWh) = 2.4 Device Usage in kWh.
4. Multiply Daily Usage 2.4 (kWh) x 30 (Days) = 72 (kWh/Month)Approximate Monthly Usage
5. Mutiply monthly usage 72 (kWh/month) x 0.15€ (cost of electricity) = 10,80€/month
You can check your electric bill to see how much they charge you.
I have a 300W dehumidifier 24 hours and I pay roughly 30€ just for that..
during "night time" I can only have one fan. I'm undecided on how the one fan can better serve me. exhaust or ventilation? which is more important during dark. I do have a dehumidifier btw. no ac but atm temps have been cooperating. cheers guys, thanx in advance
You'll need the exhaust fan, my friend, your Exhaust serves 3 purposes. 1) to cool the room 2) to lower humidity 3) to get fresh air If you turn the exhaust fan off when the lights are out, the humidity will rise, and the CO2 level will rise. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember " Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time ".
the water my humidifier pulls from the air. is that like R.O. water or destilled water? is it a blank slate with no minerals or any type of nutrients ?
The aroma is getting quite noticable now. There is alot going on - it's quite complex. It's not a punch to the nose, in your face smell, but a gentle caress that leaves you intreaged and pulls you in wanting more. Very pleasant. The guys at GHS company say it smells of dark chocolate and coffee but I get saltwatee toffee with lemon flower (not fruit). Dark chocolate I guess I can maybe see it but definetly um getting no coffee. Maybe it will evolve as the terps mature. it's something special tho. Can't wait until until this aroma leaks into other parts of my house. It's not a smell I would traditionally attribute to weed but it's heavenly.
Thanx to cooler weather and my new dehumidifier I've been able to keep her well inside optimum temp and humidity.
So far the disappointment is that she hasn't stretched anywhere near what I thought she would. She stacked the nodes real tight, maybe she will increase spacing this next week.
I also have a branch that's looking a little odd (see grow question)
These two clones are 2 weeks ahead of mom but for they are looking better.
I like what I'm seeing apart from getting little yield that is. next time I'll veg her out longer before flipping
all branches healthy and look same except that middle one. leaves come out with purple hue in between viens and quickly fade into lighter shade compared to the rest of plant. thoughts on why this is happening?
Hey!
Those purple hues are often caused by light exposure (almost like a tan), possible stress, PH problems, bad environment or nutrient deficiencies.
I wouldn't worry too much about those purple hues. My guess is it's just from training, then getting light exposure on the stem that was stretching and possibly the cold.
I often get them just like that, actually have those now on my cream caramel.
Keep up the good work!
Happy growing!
yo ppl out there growing this strain:
First of all congratulations !! This is something truly special !! I just fall deeper and deeper in love with this cultivar.
so to anyone growing this two notes, right quick:
- you can feed this one real heavy !!
I been red lining her with nutes. close to maxing out all the way thru. I think there were only two waterings with just sugar water. she responds very well to heavy nutes.
- also veg her out longer than you would. She don't stretch much.
I have the mom and two clones going but mom is three weeks ahead. I'll be posting some buds soon from her actually.
Anyway Greenhouse seeds co. describes it as creamy smell, a dark chocolate and coffee smell. Maybe I got a pheno but I don't get that. I get toffee and lemon flower, kinda like twizzlers and sprite but somebody frothing up cream in the coffee machine. but no coffee. Mom is 3 weeks ahead and she smells the same.
soon as I pull up smell welcomes me home. type of smell that just pulls you in and you just want to follow.
the buds are so dense !! I wouldn't want to be the story bastard to take of of these buds to the dome after falling of the empire state. The golf balls would take somebody out. some of the hardest nugs I've grown for sure. TIGHT !!
this is something very special
