nughead Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Better late than never here is my diary for Dinafem's Bubba Kush Auto for the generous seeds for diary giveaway earlier in the year. Respect to @@Dinafem-Mark for setting all this up and letting us all have a crack at their genetics Its always hard to choose strains plus I always have the medical/pain relief properties highest on my agenda but I was rather taken by the blurb on the Dinafem website on the photo version ... "Bubba Kush cannabis seeds by Dinafem Seeds belong to a feminized, Indica-dominant cannabis strain that results from our elite clone Pre'98 Bubba Kush. This variety is probably one of the best Indicas in the world and we are proud to offer this legend. It is no coincidence that Bubba Kush makes part of the 10 most renowned strains in America." Then it goes on to say about the auto version.... "Bubba Kush Auto cannabis seed has been created to provide growers with an autoflowering version of this wonderful Californian cannabis strain. It is a great fast-flowering easy-to-grow vigorous marijuana plant that yields good amounts of beautiful round compact buds full of resin. This cannabis seed is suitable for growers of all levels and for those seeking a cannabis strain with medical properties." Wow I thought to myself.... it would be rude not to This will be my third Dinafem diary and I'm already a massive fan of their strains not one has disappointed indeed each has produced raised eyebrows of pleasant surprise on first spliff As well as the the ones I've run diaries on I've also grown out the Cheese and the Blue Amnesia XXL. Right so enough preamble lets get on with the main event Bubba Kush I did my usual starting process into a shot glass in the airing cupboard for 24 hours tapping after 12 hours to make her sink, then planting straight into a prewatered 20l Airpot, 0.5cm deep and lightly covered, I dont water again as the pot is still wet enough. I then cover the pot with clingfilm and put under the T5 for warmth this creates really high humidity, literally dripping wet and seeds seem to like it as I have them above ground after 48 hours without fail I will be using my own organic soil that I ammended with the following when I made the pot up: 2l Fresh worm castings, MyCorMax, Neem Meal, Ecothrive Charge, Rock Dust and a little Malted Barley Powder. The top qtr of the pot I only used MyCorMax to keep it gentle while she is a baby Once she was above ground I covered the top surface with river gravel from the river next to me to act as a barrier for sciarid flies. So as per usual she was above ground after 48 hours, the next 10 days are always a bit nerve wracking, hoping that they get out of the gates without a hitch. Every single day counts with autos is something I'm painfully aware of....so fingers crossed!! So here she is on her first day above ground I call this day 2 as I count from germination, I know many start counting when its above ground but I do it from when life begins So off to a cracking start and I'm really looking forward to trying the legend that is Bubba Kush, I do like a good couch lock effect as it helps me sleep. I will be doing a report at the end from both my wife and my POV regarding pain relief/medical effects as this is my main reason for growing. Thats it for the first update let hope she does well Keep it green all Don't reckon I've ever had a seed pop and look like that after two days must be banging genetics, may have to buy some and looking a lovely plant later on, hats off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragg Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 @@Dinafem-Mark yeah I'm not surprised mate certainly it was what I was waiting to try out and the genetics have turned me into a Dinafem salesman as I cant find anything bad to say, I just wax lyrical on how good they are . The other point of note is how many new members come to this site looking for medical based strains, often to make RSO for Cancer treatment and your Autos are just the ticket for speed of production. I know if I had Cancer I'd want to be taking oil ASAP from the highest quality plant material I could find(not someone's trim!) and so you are literally potentially saving lives with these fast growing CBD machines I'm now trying to guess what crosses you are going to announce and drooling with anticipation ..... I know you Dinafem guys know the score but my suggestion would be some XXL strain crossed with a high CBD content. Simply because alot of material is required for RSO and ofc other extracts and therefore the bigger the plant the better, I know this kinda always applies but is even more prevalent for Cancer sufferers. Anyway glad these CBD strains have done well for you guys, the hard work has paid off I'd be honoured to do a tester grow Mark and I would think @@botanics would be too?

Fragg Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Week 7 Update - Day 49 Apologies for being a little late with this update I've been battling to give up the fags over the last week and an over 40 year habit of 40-60 a day takes some giving up....oooof my brain has been scrambled! So not been able to think straight for awhile but things are starting to normalise as it will be a week off at midnight tonight, not that I'm counting So how has the Bubba been doing this past week? I'm pleased to report she's been doing great and we are now just 3 weeks from harvest, so its all about bud production at this stage and hoping she piles it on in the next few weeks The pistils on her buds are still looking long and healthy, always a good sign for bud ime and she really is starting to honk a bit whenever I open the tent up so getting excited for the final few weeks now Feed wise she had 2l 1:20 diluted Comfrey at the beginning of the week and apart from that 2l water daily with one exception midweek of a 3l ACT I made up for her and the other plants in my grow. There is no specific timing for giving ACTs I just get one underway approx every 3 weeks and distribute amongst the perpetual grow as a drench or also as a foliar depending on the age of the plant, I dont foliar late in flower to avoid budrot So sometimes plants get ACTs early in their lives, others later but as long as they have at least one dose I'm happy that the micro-herd will be well populated and delivering nutes to my plants as and when they need them This ACT was a little different to my normal EWC tea as this time I added a handful of 9 month old horse manure to the EWC and oat bran mix in the stocking for extra bacterial innoculant and cos I just love what horse manure does to plants! This was brewed up for c.48 hours at 25ish C in Molasses enriched rain water with a pinch of rock dust for minerals. So lets get on with todays pics kicking off with sideways on shot looking into the tent giving an overall impression of her and another sideways on shot..... Next up some closer in shots of some buds :yahoo:Starting with the "main" cola that has got ahead slightly on the main canopy after LST. Frosting up nicely and you can see the nice healthy pistils I was talking about and another shot from a slightly diff angle Next up some more close up bud shots of side colas... and another for luck! and finally to wrap up today's slide show(is this even an expression anymore ??) an overhead shot... So she has some light bleaching from the LED as I mentioned last time but I've not noticed any issues with her buds so have left it where it is to see how I get on and the small amount of tip burn I got from the Ecothrive Charge is totally negligible so still pretty happy with how she is getting on so far tbh. Just getting itchy joint rolling fingers as the best Indica in the world approaches harvest......oooohhhhhh yeeeeaaahhhh That wraps up todays update folks so as always thanks for watching and may your jars be forever full 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mostly cloudy few amber. Think then buds got a lot of weight to pack on though and the size of her..., good call in the comfrey Top growing Great effort on the fags too man.
