Sour Bubble 3 - Grow Diaries - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Courtesy Gypsy, thanks.

Well OG is gone for now and I am starting my 3rd grow so here it is. I'm going to search for a Sour Bubble mom or 2 and also try for a decent yield. I also have 3 Ice clones on standby if I need some extra plants to fill in come flowering time.

I will be using the full Fox Farm plan - Big Bloom, Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, and Cha Ching. I will also be trying some Liquid Karma for the first time.

Grow cab is 24 x 20 x 47 inside and so far I've been using a 150 hps, however today UPS man came and brought me a Hydrofarm Sunburst 250. It fits in the cab very nicely and at 75 watts per square foot boy does it light it up! Temps are around low 80s a little warm but not bad.

Here they are at about 9 days, 2 of them are a few days behind because they didn't sprout so I decided to pop a couple more seeds. They just went under the 250 today. The plan is to veg for about 5 weeks (total) or until I can get a couple clones off each plant. Then flower and enjoy some of nature's finest work.

Hi

I've smoked sb a few days ago, it was really wet.
But i can tell you, the taste was great, something special, and the buzz was also very nice.
Good luck and keep me posted

I can't wait to taste it. Small update 1 of the plants looked ok but had a real weak stem and refused to hold itself up so I got rid of it.

One of them is growing strangely, the new growth is growing inside the stem I don't know if it's going triploid or what. You can see how the stem is split and the growth is showing lengthwise and starting to come out a little. The opposite side of the stem is closed.

hello groer..
I see you are useing the fox farm soluble tri-pack.. Have you used it before or is this your first run? how do you like it? pro's/con's?

Nickcorp187 · 02-05-2006, 03:27 PM

You will get a few mutations in the SB. The more you inbreed a strain, 3x is a lot of inbreeding, you tend to get genetic mutations. Kind of like when you fuck your sister and get a retard for a kid. The thing with plants especially mj is they will eventually grow out of the mutations and could be great plants. I have some bx3 SB growing now and I got a few mutations early in veg but have since grown out of the mutations and are growing very normal and robust. SB is a great strain!! Best indica in my garden!

I have 4 Sour Bubbles going right now and I have to agree with NickCorp on the mutations... 2 of the 4 are mutants, but I didnt want to waste my time with them so just dumped them into the flower room, and I have to say that they still look mutant and look to be male so thats makes me feel a little better. Now the other 2 are doing great! They have the same exact leaf structure as BOG's SB clones so I keep them going. I am about to flower the 2 that I have been vegging next week... one is a lot about 6'' bigger, but that is becuase it was under the HID for a week longer, other than that they are completely indentical. I am having some trouble uploading pics on IC so when I do I can post some up to show what your in store for... I am too using some Fox Farm products but not all of those.

Peace... NorCalRasta

Big Mike I used just the Cha Ching last time, I couldn't say if there was a difference because i grew new strains with it.

Well we'll see how the mutant does. NorCal I was watching your thread on OG those are some nice looking plants.

groer · 02-08-2006, 10:28 AM

For some reason the leaves are curling down, they look healthy but are curled. It started when I put them under the HPS could there be too much light for them? The 250 is sitting about 10-11 inches above them and it is really bright in there. The temp stays between 79-85 and they've been on just water.

big mike · 02-08-2006, 02:14 PM

over water?

groer · 02-08-2006, 04:04 PM

I don't think it's overwatering. I went back to the 150 hps for now to see if it helps and I'll switch back to the 250 for flowering.
