Welcome Bro......Saw yer post in Maina`s thread bout runnin Bubba fer production , but hey.......

Dialing a strain to get her to produce is the name of the game IME ........so....that said.......

I ran her and she didn`t do well , but adapt or perish if yas got 50 of her already up and movin forward.....

Gonna haveta veg her a minute before the flip , and once on the shelfs cuz she`s indica dominant the backs`ll need hacked out , but.....

You said you`ve got experience with this cut , so how bout tellin us what you`ve learned since I ran her at 4 locations dialed to the tits and she didn`t yield fer shit........

Pre-98 Bubba`s the pinnacle of pain meds in my old ass opinion , and miss her every day but....She don`t do well in a production environment from every growbro I`ve ever known to run her......

Hope she does better for you.....Happy Ho Ho and ...

Good luck......Holler if I can help.........Looks like yas`ve got plenty of lumens ready.......anyways.....

Peace......DHF......:ying:.......

never run bubba, but i run a cutting of querkle. everybody i know ran it once and never again. best smoke ever, but at best 12-13 ounces per 600w light. very low yielder.

last run i pulled 22 ounces from a 600w light.

dont give up, just dial her to perfection. you wont compete with commercial strains, but you CAN get a good yield out of an average yielder with vert tech and getting the basics right.

make it a challenge to become "that guy" : the one that managed to get top yields out of the strain that nobody else could :)

Be careful with nute def issues with coco. Coco has a High cec, you should familiarize yourself now to avoid problems later, an ounce of prevention...

A piece of linoleum or pondliner from your local HD to keep those wooden floors nice and wooden.
Its always nice to have a good rental reference and getting your deposit back is fun.

My friends c clamp ponliner to 2x4's in every room making a water proof bowl. It helps tremendously with those OH $#!+ moments, such as "OH shit its leaking!!!" and "OH shit I knocked it over!!!". On top of that it keeps the flooring beneath, especially carpets, clean.

I have always wanted to run a stadium, seems like a surefire method to pull in some decent weight.

Good Luck

Blue dream`s a stretcher AND a yielder once dialed Bro......and....Like HL just stated......

Watch ph and run lower ppm`s across the board with coco , and it`s waaay easier to dial.......

Good luck.....DHF....:ying:......

Pre98 isnt too awful bad in the yield dept.. Just a VERY slow vegger and that affects bottom lines not being able to veg her fast enough imo for production...

Im with Freds, 98 is straight fire for nighty time.. Got a verified cut along with Katsu and they will always be in my garden..

This looks fun.

When I was running suspended hydro stadiums I thought it'd be a pain to trellis, but it actually worked pretty nice by taking trellis netting secured to the ceiling/upper wall just behind your top/back row and stretching it down to a be stapled to a board that sat on the floor relatively right below your row of lamps.

I wasn't hand watering so plant access wasn't really a concern once things where thinned and trellised, but it kept things in place without risk of plants falling off of shelves and into lamps. Whatever you do.. make sure you secure before its too late in the game or it's easy to have a stability disaster on your hands when rocking stadiums.


Used to put 4 lamps in a 7x11 (28 plants) and only 2 tiers per side. Looking forward to see what you do with 5.

Best of luck.

3 tiers 16" apart is how i run mine.
the room is 6.5' wide and 8' long. 2 1000K bulbs lite mine well. I've run 3 in there
but I don't think it adds that much for my space. what is the size of that room you have?

looking good man, just a few things

1. if you're handwatering then once a day should be fine. just make sure you can walk behind the plants cuz watering from the front will be a bitch.

2. tie the trellis to the ceiling and then anchor it to the floor somehow, i use cinder blocks and string. not hard.

3. that Pre-98 Bubba is gonna need some serious veg time cuz you're not gonna get much stretch. try topping them or doing some serious LST (not easy with those brittle bubba stems).

There is a cut called "Platinum Bubba" that has been going around the bay area lately, very popular here in the Cruz. It has all the characteristics of Pre-98 but with greater stretch and yield.

anyway, good luck with your stadium , keep us posted. this kind of grow is right up my alley.
