Dr.Greenthumb - Bubba OG - Experiences -

[TerpeneTom]

Hello,

Does anyone posses personal experience with this strain? Know someone that did produce this strain?

This strain particularly intrigues me because Dr. claims he is very proud of this cross, and one of the best he offers (please don't tell me this is marketing hype, I trust this statement and the lineage of the strain). Also, those that are trustworthy (only a select few) have maintained that this is the best strain they have sown from his offerings.

Thank you.

Actually just picked some of this up earlier today. Smell is subtle but strong at the same time, sweet and fruity. The taste of this particular batch is excellent, seems to have been cured very well. Dark green buds with dark purple patches mixed in here and there. Effects are strong relaxation and pleasant uplifting mental buzz.

This is only the second or third batch I've seen in socal that made me confident I was seeing the real cut. I would rate it very highly though, wish I could get my hands on some good genetics.

 

[TerpeneTom]

Thanks, Soil.

His description for the strain describes the taste as one of the best (claims bubba katsu cut deserves that award), and knowing the lineage of the strain, I believe the claims should be true.

I'd love to uncover the phenotypes provided by those genetics, certainly elite parents.

How much did you pay if you don't mind?

Pictures?

A buddy bought these beans...didn't see her grow but the buds were standard sour distaste and odor tight golf ball nuggets

 

[cheifnugget]

Sour kush taste....not distaste ......spell check is a hoe

Paid $150.00 for one pack 10 seeds. Got 8 out of 10 germination rate. One was a mutant and culled. Out of seven females 2 was a Bubba Pheno and 5 were the OG pheno.

Got about 4-4.5oz in a five gallon pot with the Bubba pheno. Both were caked with super frosty resin. One was fruity and purple and the other was more leafy with hint of coffee scent. Both had good potency and non-sour taste. I built a tolerance after a while so it was not a keeper.

The 5 OG phenos were tall and strechy got about 5-5.5z from 5 gallon pot. All the OG phenos were uniform. They all had the sour taste, but not strong lemony taste like the real OG. The potency on all the OG phenos were average at best with low aroma. I did not keep any of the OG phenos because I preferred the Bubba Phenos instead.

Overall the Bubba OG was a easy and vigorous strain to grow. I tried the East Coast Sour Diesel(s1) and the G-13 from the DR. GT also and the Bubba phenos were the best out of all of them.

 

[TerpeneTom]

Great, appreciate the input.

I just began production on the East Coast Sour Diesel. After analyzing the available grow journals I concluded that the yield, bud formation, and resulting aroma would provide a nice return on investment.

What was your experience with the ECSD? Would truly appreciate some input. Any suggestions? I have gathered 80+ day maturity.

Thanks.

I saw that he just released some sour OG that should be epic.
Id just get his katsu S1s and call it a day. Sounds like the perfect strain

 

[TREE KING]

any of you guys ran the chem 4? i got 10 of em growing right now from seed. I'm trying to grow them out as fast as i can so i can take clones and run a crop

Here's a dr greenthumb bubba og experience for you ... full-on disaster.

just finished growing out a $200 6 pack of S1 fem seeds and the plants were absolute garbage.

Not anything even close to a keeper ... some frosty, tiny buds, but no yield, no aroma, no potency, just absolute crap.

I respectfully contacted dr g. and showed him photos of my results .... he inferred that I was a liar and told me, essentialy, "too bad sucker" ... what an absolute dick.

I now know why some people absolutely trash this guy ... to charge at that level and then respond to a failure with that kind of arrogance is just off the charts.

Wonder about S1 plants from dr. greenthumb? Oh yeh, here's a couple examples of the legendary fails ....

$200 for seeds?

Yea, fuck that.

Sorry, but unless that weed grants some kind of super power after smoking, that's just a HUGE fucking rip off.

Dudes need to STOP spending so much ca$h on seeds as it will just encourage other shitbags to charge ridiculous prices for THEIR bullshit.

 

[TerpeneTom]

I've gone an alternative route now, but enjoy the plants I have grown from him. It was ease of transaction and the strain name that convinced me to purchase

 

[Coconutz]

OMG!
What happened to TreeKing?

Hey badrabbit, I'd venture to say its possible your grow style/techniques that doesn't seem to agree with bubba type plants. I've seen you say you weren't happy with VG's pre 98 bubba as well and its probably one of the best in my garden right now. Also the few reports I've seen on this strain say its one of the best out there though a little out of my price range. Plants can vary so much from grow to grow its not even funny between nutes, temps, light intensity, clone maturity, root growth...the list can go on.

I'm not knocking you at all just saying there's a lot of variables within ones own garden, let alone comparing others gardens and then add to that each persons tastes and needs. If you don't mind, what EC/ppm did you use? PH? Light type?

No offense taken, but let me please fill in a bit of information about me. I've been growing indoors for almost two decades now and have kept 4 hyrdo rooms flowing with great plants for a long, long time, including bubba leaners.

The burned leaves are a bit of a mystery, the flowering room they were in has at least 4 or 5 other plants in there including SSH from MNS, Green Crack, Bohdi AOG and Goji ... NONE of the other plants showed this leaf burn. It appeared very late in flower and I rarely seen anything like it. I have other photos on the plants earlier in the cycle and they look healthy and fine ... what they never had at any point was buds bigger than a thumb, anywhere, or any strong/interesting aromas. There is some nice frost, but the buds are tiny. Since I grow hundreds of plants and get great results, including the ones sitting right next to these, I will thank you for your input, but suggest that I'm far, far from some newb grower abusing his plants.

I don't mind fussy plants, or smaller yielders ... I AM very experienced in finding what they need and finding a way to grow them well after the first seed run.

I've done that with a lovely BOG sour bubble keeper that's very much on the bubba side and super fussy sour haze plant for years. But I do it when there's some tiny hint of quality to them ... an engaging, notable aroma, arresting potency, etc. In short, they are worth it. These BOG plants just didn't show a thing ... no smell, no notable flavor, mid to so-so potency.

I am willing to accept that I just got a bad pack and 95% of the people who run it get great results with his stuff and with BOG. It just didn't happen this time. I've had many, many packs turn out to be total fails over the years and that's just part of the game. But not at this price .... $200 for 6 seeds?

I wrote a very respectful note to dr. g. and asked for his comment, his input. No whining, no demands or even requests. He responded in a flippant, condescending way. There were a hundred things he COULD have said that would have been OK with me, as long as he responded in kind. He did not. He acted like a child, implied I was a liar and left it at "too bad, so sad".

Sorry, but I think I have every right to be disappointed at the purchase and the response and every right to talk about it. I've grown genetics from MNS, Bodhi, Rare Dankness, Reserval Privada/DNA, Paradise, Sensi Seeds (all the way back to early hash plant and black domina), Dinafem, HSO, even Greenhouse for chrissakes, you name them, I've probably tried them.... these were the absolute worst performance for the $$ I've ever encountered.

I still have rooted cuts, should I run these duds and take more photos? Still would be "bad grower" to some of you, but sorry, sometimes it happens and it happened here.

best,
rabbit

Oh, and I'm sorry for not responding to your questions properly.

I grow all hydro ebb and flow in rockwool from germ to finish. I use GH hydro nutes, veg and bloom formula. I germ under a 2 bulb T5, one red spectrum, one blue.

I early veg under a 400W MH. The flower room is same general set up, just bigger ebb/flow table with either a 600W HPS or 1,000W HPS, both sun systems. (The bubba og was mostly 1k, but I had reduced it to the 600 late in flower) I change bulbs after every two grow cycles and maintain my rez at levels that have proven effective ... l won't list all the specific nute levels I use, unless you're interested, but again, they're pretty well validated with a wide variety of plants including bubba leaners like sour bubble and touchy kush lines from rare dankness.

best,
rabbit

if were talking about the guy from Canada Beware he sells inert junk to US.spent 300 for a pack of s1 Bubba back a while.never sent seeds after I sent cash.finally got a hold of some girl that was there Iraised holy hell cause he said they never got cash and she told me she was looking at my order!2 months later I got 10 of the smallest green immature seeds ive ever seen.not 1 germinated.hes bad news.asked for a refund or more seeds got a smart ass answer and then he supposedly went on vacation and I never heard from him again.that was my experience.

Careful there dewd, it probably was all your fault, he's a god and every plant is from heaven.
