Bubba is a very slow vegger, that I can tell you. Ran a couple Bubba S1's, one had defects, the other was fine, but flower was surprisingly trashy. Just pressed it for rosin. I still give the benefit of the doubt to CSI and will run the others another time.
Makes sense, ive had some FIRE Bubba before, but ive had trash bubba too.
So in an S1 it may throw out some garbage phenos.
Then again its probably the same for most strains.
I did Bubblegum S1 and got a Bubblegum and Pine pheno.....enjoyed the bubblegum flavor (spot on pink bubblegum) but didnt care for the pine flavor.....potency was lower than i expected, but wasnt bad by any means. I only grew 1 plant, hoping that next time i get a different pheno that solely tastes of bubblegum
S1's are kind of a gamble imo. Just so many pheno varients that wouldnt be found in a BX or F1....but that means you can also find a FIRE pheno that ppl dont have also.
