Hard to say something no one else has. Very kind, honest, and great communication. Very impressed with the selection and customer service. And of course a fire product! Cannot overemphasize enough how legit this is. Will definitely be coming back!

Hi all, bump ! - some of you may be interested in my further adventures with the Pre-98 bubba...

This is a new fem line, Bubba Zhuzh, which is Bubba D backcrossed to the pre-98 bubba
(Chem D x Pre-98 Bubba Kush) x Pre-98 Bubba Kush .

The F1 with Chem D was really successful and had great vigor... so i wanted to see how it would cross back to the bubba. Test grow coming along nicely:

been over a year since I last posted in this thread and no one is growing Verdant's Bubba's or what??

I'll be popping seed mid november and am gonna throw down the last of my VG Pre98 bubba S1.
In that last post of mine from june of last year I showed a Bubba Royale from seed. Well I dug into those seeds all winter and one female was kept to run this summer and if she proved herself, a candidate for S1 breeding.
This is one awesome female, flowering to hint of amber trichomes at 56 days. Not a big yielder but respectable and really awesome bubba kush smells but with a hint of that creamy lavender rocket fuel that Long Valley Royal Kush is known for. The LVRK added so real nice vigor and smells while the plant remained true to the desireable bubba traits. I have her harvested and hanging and can't wait to smoke on this girl.
The cross made possible by an outstanding p98bubba S1 female from Verdant Green's S1 release.

I’m about to throw my orgnkid cut in flower pretty soon (this weekend)

Looks like she does best when he roots have plenty of room, or if she’s in a smaller pot the humidity needs to be high during veg for vigor. She’s a little slower in dry climates I think.

How much Nitrogen do you give your plants, at the 8 week point ?
I am giving it 1.25 indoor strength nutes Miracle Grow Bloom Buster.. The last two weeks I have been giving it extra N because it was so yellow, CAN. I came to the conclusion that as the light too bright. It is going through two quarts a day of water. I cut the misters out as it's taking care of the humidity on it's own.

This is my second auto attempt. The first was with ProMix BX and by the time I saw the lack of nutes it was too late. Never really got big but put out an ounce or so. This one is Ocean Forest with some limestone and langbeinite. Nothing but 50/50 well/rain until the 6 weeks. Then some CaCl and MgCl top dressed via 1300 ppm liquid, 1 cup a couple times. At 6 weeks it really started to stretch so I was adding the CAN and started feeding with the MG nutes.

When I grew Hydro I had a plant that liked McLellan Orchid food, 0-26-38 or something.

The Purple Powder.

On top of GH Nutes at 1:1 strength.

Of course, I was growing for Quality & Yield so if Over-nuting the plants worked sometimes, I did it.

I think generally it's better to under-nute the plants.

I've had Apollo 11's that were VERY WORTHWHILE, like everything that Mr. Soul describes when he describes the original Princess.

But they were Sensitive - I over-nuted them and had to rinse them, then they flowered good.

Most of the time, I'd rather go easy on the Sensitive super-plant than over-feed the heavy feeder super-plant.

Though if you have enough time you can give them all their preferred food.

I just amended the Ocean Forest and let it rip. As soon as I started seeing hollow stems I started adding more calcium, then it started with the yellowing and I began adding fertilizer.

This auto really goes through a stretch phase at about 6 weeks. Next time I'll start a little sooner with the added flower nutes, around 4 weeks.

The last two GDPs I had in ProMix BX I underfeed the whole time and they suffered. Particularly right after stretch. Run off pH was always good though I seldom watered that much. I added some limestone to the soil originally.

Still to this day, 20 years later one of my all time favourites for buzz and medical purposes and of course taste, not much beats a properly grown bubba to me.

Here is some Pre 98 from clone I grew back in 2013 and 2014. From what I remember it was extremely earthy, musty, with a kush tone and hints of coffee.

I definitely miss growing bubba, even though it was a slow vegging plant, the buds were gigantic and the high was always strong.

I have some of Hazemans Blue Bubba that I am tempted to pop very soon. I'd love to hit my Ogiesel with it as it.

Pre 98 Bubba Kush S1 from @VerdantGreen
Smells like mocha coffee, that creamy part is truly intoxicating on it and just now starting to develop more complexity with the classic kush element. Eats a lot of cal/mag in my setup.

Pre 98 Bubba Kush S1 from Dinafem Seeds
Buds smell like incense and chocolate and the stem rub is strong pine resin. The incense smell is legit the same as some of the ohaze phenotypes - interesting. 100% stretch after switch to flower and the incense is getting stronger.

Both Bubba's are relatively vigorous plants, was expecting something else.
