GHSC Contest Bubbaslush

CheechChong Hello fans 🙋‍♀️ I started germination on June 3rd and not even 36 hours later, the girls were already there. Who can find the little plant in the picture 🌿

CheechChong Hiho Grower community Unfortunately, I got a lot of fungus gnats, but more on that in the diary. Out of 2 seeds, one made it, the second germinated but after transplanting, it was over. Rest in peace. As you can see, she’s doing well. I haven't fertilized yet since I made a mix of Coco and Biobiz Allmix. See you next week, and a like makes everyone happy.

CheechChong Developing beautifully after the first fertilization, I took 0.5 g per liter. Ah, grams can't be selected here.

CheechChong Hiho Looks good and now we wait to see how the first FIM goes.

CheechChong I have no idea if the fiming worked. The nutrients are easy to use, but my scale broke. So I have to estimate how much nutrients that is. I would have made the portioning spoon transparent with a 1 g scale division. Now I have to guess.

CheechChong Very nice plant and it's developing well too. The FIM didn't work out there either. But it's not a big deal. I'll try it again next time. The fertilizer from Green House is very efficient, or I just use a little. I'm curious to see what happens when I add the Boost next week. Oh yeah, the first fertilizer is Hybrid Power Feeding. So far, a good product.

CheechChong They are developing splendidly, forgetting about the failed FIM. Slowly, she's getting big, but the tallest one has the smallest buds. It could be due to the strain or the nutrients. I also wanted to have a reference plant with two nutrients, but unfortunately, it didn't make it. However, I think I can still get some fat buds from this plant 😋

CheechChong Grows tall and slim. Compared to the other plants, very small buds even though they are the same age. I fertilize according to the instructions except for the TD value, which I don't know. I have to say that it's cumbersome to fertilize because you always have to weigh it out to avoid using too much fertilizer. A dosing aid that has more than just 10g would be great. Not everyone has a large plantation and only needs 1 to 2 liters for watering.

CheechChong So far, very small buds. I increased the nutrient dosage today. As for the EC value in the nutrient schedule, I'm out of my depth there 😕. Since I'm only growing for myself, I don't really need it. The products from Ghs feeding are good, but I don't need the calculations. Monster Bud Mix is unbeatable, but I'll have more details here after the harvest. Hope I didn't disqualify myself 😋 The genetics of Bubbaslush are remarkably slim and tall with a lot of buds. If the others grow like this, then I know why it says premium on it. Awesome plant!!!

CheechChong The little one still needs quite a while. It's a mystery to me whether it's due to the nutrients?. If you look at my other two in the same tent but with different nutrients 😰. It could also be strain-dependent, the main thing is that the buds get fat 😋

CheechChong I got a really bad deficiency because the fertilizer that came with it doesn't contain any (CA) calcium. Why is a mystery to me. Other brands always include calcium. That's why I unfortunately couldn't use the GHS feeding anymore. I had to save my big one, and it was a few tough days wondering if I could save her. The bubbaslush is growing well, just a bit slow 😉 But she was also a bit undernourished.

CheechChong Very big problem with the feeding fertilizer. I'm having a hard time getting the calcium deficiency under control, so I'm going back to my Hesi fertilizer. Let's see if I can manage it this way.

CheechChong Due to the calcium deficiency, the grow is taking a bit longer. I finally managed to balance out the deficiency. So she will survive. She's already a magnificent lady. I think there will be plenty of buds. It's a shame that the fertilizer disappointed me. I just looked at the brochure from the GHS Contest again. Calcium needs extras, now the question is why am I testing a fertilizer series that isn't complete? Why isn't it pointed out that a calcium deficiency can occur? Since I had a massive calcium deficiency, I unfortunately had to return to my usual fertilizer. It's really a shame, maybe the fertilizer series is really good. Unfortunately, I won't know.

CheechChong It's still a struggle because of the calcium deficiency, but the buds are getting thicker. She's a big lady 😋 Update: I've got everything under control again and she's recovering quickly.

CheechChong As you can see, I was able to save her. Bubba Slush is a greedy one, needs a lot of nutrients. Unfortunately, I guess I'll have to wait two more weeks since the trichomes are still quite glassy. I like them to be half brown 😋. See you next week and stay healthy. Addendum 10/22/2020, I stopped using the fertilizer and from today on, I'm only using Final Solution from Advance daily for a week, then the harvest will come. Since I've seen the first brown trichomes with the microscope.

CheechChong I started with Final Solution on Thursday. The buds have gotten nice and thick, and I've fixed the deficiency. The Bubba Slush has a lot of buds even though my FIM attempt was a failure. Very high main stem since I kept them in growth for a long time. I also removed some leaves to direct the energy into the buds. I expect to harvest on Thursday. It's going to be a fat yield 😋

CheechChong I removed a lot of leaves in two days. The trichomes are 50% brown. That's why I harvested them, but the drying process is still ongoing. It'll be done in the next few days. Beautiful fat lady 😋

CheechChong I find there are too many leaves with this strain, even on the buds. For the price and premium seeds, weak performance.
