The Official Bubba Kush thread

[ZEN MASTER]

Here's my Bubba at day 44. 10 days out of 12/12 (For sexing purposes).

Girls on the left and hermi's on the right.

those are nice man. imo i think that you should op thos e babies now, and clone those two tops. they have the best starts to me mainly because the stem is pretty much thicker than any other stem on the plant. but after you do that i'd put my light kinda low on it so while the cut is healing, those side branches from the bottom on up can grow up to the light, giving you an even canopy. oh yea if you are not familiar with topping, go somewhere that has pictures explaining the process.....please.


PEACE!!!

Lol yeah I've never topped a plant before. Seems hella scarey to me but I just might do it. Maybe at the 6th or 7th node. It feels wrong to me to cut any more then that off lol.

Hardroc- The B.K. looks very nice, thanks for thinking of a thread like this. In-fact I'm gonna buy some seeds and grow them next. Jst to ask, how bad does it smell in flowering? Bug resistant (been battling mites). Thanks for the input.

Thanks man, glad you like the thread.
Right on, glad to hear you're thinking about growing some out.
Feel free to show off your Bubba and post anything you find that might help others, anything you feel note worthy.
There's barely any smell really.......I get a quick whiff when I first open the closet door, and the temp is a steady 80, I'm only on my 2nd week though so the smell might pick up or if the temps rise there might be more of a smell.
I don't really have any pest issues, 1-2 fungus gnats every once in awhile if the humidity goes up, but if you have mites....it don't matter what strain you have....they're not predjudice, they love all MJ.
1 thing I did notice, is that it's not very mould resistant. I've had a few (mild) outbreaks of powdery mildew, and had to cut a couple leafs off and spray with milk and water, but now the buds are starting to form I don't wanna spray anymore.
I say this because I have a Blue Widow in the same closet right next to it, and it never once had a speck of P.M. While the B.K. had several infected leafs a couple of times.

If you don't mind Hardroc, ill put some 2 cents in, Imlovinit, i would say that the bubba kush does smell a little bit during flower, but the smell is more of a fruity smell than a slap you in the face MJ smell, so to a more "untrained nose" if you get what i mean , the smell is less noticeable. The mite problem would have to be battled with neem oil and dr bronners when needed. I complety agree with hardroc about the mold, due to the BK tendency to have "denser" colas, mold could be an issue, easily solved with a light breeze from a fan blowing on your plants, just enough to make the leaves move a little bit. Hope this helps Imlovinit.

Thanks for the info
My house smells like dope all the time so I don't really smell it anymore.........
I do have an osilating fan blowing under the canopy but the RH is 50% so I have some humidity issues, hence the powdery mildew
but the Blue Widow doesn't have a speck of it on her

Luckily I live in one of the driest states in the US. Humidity is not a problem for me unless its raising the humidity in the veg area. I am solving that problem this week end. Mister system on a timer, done. I have all kinds of fans in my set up. My favorite ones are the 4" Massey fans from your local Walmart. I place them directly under the canopy and aim them straight up. This helps clear out any o2 pockets that have formed under there as well as feeding fresh cool air directly up into the canopy from underneath.

As far as smell goes, I have a carbon filter and a dayton blower to handle that. The "dirty" air is sent all the way to the other end of the house via ducting through the attic. It enters a spare bedroom on the otherside of the room and leeches back into the main re circulatory system where it becomes carbon scrubbed cold air that feeds back into the entire house. Nothing lost.

It also helps if you can place them under the light and aim up, they are a low cfm to begin with so they gently push cool air through the canopy to combat the heat coming down from above. There is a two degree difference between under my canopy, right at it, and a few inches above it. So 6 degree difference from root to slightly above the canopy.

They're kinda hard to see but there are (2) four inch ducts feeding the a/c into the flowering chamber, one on either side.

I use a oscillating fan at the door way into the room to circulate fresh air over the entire room. All the canopy levels on all three tables are within a few inches of each other.

everything stays where I want it,

Lookin nice!!! +REP

Was that directed to me? Cause if it was I was talking about the set up.

 

[GODFREY1]

Ok. Picked her up today. She is going outdoors. Unfortunately out of respect that also means no pics. So. Here are the first and last pics of this girl on RIU. But I will be back with pics of drying and dried bud for sure with a smoke report. I do love the stock on this little girl. But just cause I can,here's some pics. Later peeps.

 

[hardroc]

Nope talking to Touche
No pix if it isn't bubba!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Bubba's taken a turn for the worst! Well, she's not dying... But I am having trouble with it. Hopefully some of you can help me figure out what's the best thing for it.

I believe the problem is that my Bubba is having a problem adapting to the intense spectrum of the sun. She's the only plant in my grow reacting this way. I've been training them to go outside.(this week actually) They are all still in party cups, and I have the option of maybe keeping it indoors... I just dont want to. The leaves almost appear to have little blisters on them.(No fluid in the blisters, of course) I posted these pics fairly large so as I could really show how they look.

Here's what the surface of the leaves look like...

This is a pic of Bubba nent to another plant in my grow. It's a random Super Lemon Haze plant. As most of you know, they are both from the same breeder.(Arjans beans) A week and a half ago, my Bubba Kush was one of the biggest in the room.

Thanx in advance to any and all who may offer some form of advice, as I'm a bit worried about her. I really want to grow this plant OUTSIDE. I don't believe it even makes sense to risk it, this time of year. At the same time, I DO NOT want to see this plant die.

I'm not sure if i should keep training it to natural light, or keep it indoors and hopefully get it under some good lights, soon. Right now my only HPS lights are budding some SIC plants!(I was gonna' post some pics, but hardrocs been gettin' angry for people not keepin' it Bubba.)

 

[hardroc]

I'm not sure what to tell ya, never came across that before, are you putting them in direct sunlight or do you have them under a screen or something?
I've heard that's what alot of ppl do, they gradually introduce to sunlight, but putting a screen or a light sheet over top of them for a little bit, untill they feel they're good to take on the full sun.

And that's right KEEP IT BUBBA!!!

 

[donkey.420]

are your drain holes in your cup plugged up?

I slowly brought them around to the sun by first giving them 45 minutes to an hour of direct sunlight. Then I started giving them 2 to 3 hours of partially shaded sunlight. This has slowly been progressing with the bubba. i've been hoping it'll come out of it. I've recently begun giving them 4 to 5 hours of direct sunlight a day, because this is the week Im putting them out. It's gotten worse, now.

are your drain holes in your cup plugged up?

Nah, man. I checked. The dirt dries down to a spongy dampness, like it should.

 

[cracker84]

Yeah i agree, looks like an overwatering issue. I would hold back a little bit on how much/how often you are watering.

Maybe mine over-sensitive to water?.?.? The rest of my plants are healthy as can be. They're all on the same schedule for everything, and they all look like the SLH in the second pic.
