Bubba Kush S1 grow

Got lucky and scored a pack of VG's Bubba Kush S1's off the bay and had to make a spot asap to see what they got.

First off, thanks to VG for putting these out. These will be the first BK nonhybrid have had a chance to give a go.

So, on with the show.

Dropped three seeds in some water and let em soak till they all had tails. All three popped, no problems. Then straight into Solo cups with straight Canna coco. Gave 'em 50 days veg, first under PLL's then MH for a bit.
Went from Solos to 5"x5" pots then to 2 gallon smarties with an inch or two of hydroton on the bottom. Waited till could see signs of roots filling up and then the flip.

Feeding Maxibloom all the way through
Drip Clean @ 1ml
SM-90 @ 2-3ml
Protekt @ 2ml
Floralicous Plus @ 1/2-1ml in flower
MgSO4 - a pinch here and there(CaMg when looks like is needed)
Hand watered up till about 3 weeks flower, then went to a PICO manifold and feeding 3x/day (hand watering gets old fast, plus the manifold is more consistant)
DTW

1K galaxy dimmable @ 1K
MH for first two weeks 12/12, then HPS till done
4x4 SJ DR120II
3x3 flood table
SSII hood
Phresh filter 6x24, 6" Hurricane fan for exhaust

Did not get any early veg shots, though I do have some from 33, 41 and 50 days of veg in my albums (can post some if interested, VG).

There are three phenos, one tall, one runt and one in between.

VG, my plant #3 (the Runt) reminds me of your plant #1 that did not survive you 10 day absence in the BK S1 info and grow along thread. What do you think?

DJXX, thats what I want to hear!!

VG, you are absolutely right. Topped each once around 4th or 5th node, I think. Rest is LST started around the last 10 days or week of veg.

Will post up the only earlier flower shots I have.

A little bit of burnt hairs from Neem/spinosad foliar treatment, bounced back nice though.

hey man you may be right about the No 3 runt bing similar to the one i lost!

i certainly remember deep serrations on the leaves, and the leaves were also very large and thin - are yours the same?

plants look lovely, great to see a grow show on the bubba S1s in such detail!

respect

Hey VG, the leaves on that #3 of mine were large and thin in veg, but don't remember the serrations being more pronounced than the other two. Hmmm, have to think on that a minute.

Thanks for the kind words.
