Hubba Hubba! Bubba Hash & The Bright Lights Of Redemption: Amy's Indoor v2.0 With DBHBB

[Amy Gardner]

Thanks neiko! That’s very encouraging. And I’m sure you are quite right that I’m witnessing the Bubba hunger

Tonight at lights on I expected to see it all perky as i described before but no, droopy and almost dry already! So it got another drench (more TP, because I was dunking the DDA autos already, so that’s what I had mixed up).

That means it now needs water almost every day. I’m sure it was only 36hours since the last watering/drench.

Was about 2 hours ago it got fully soaked, for the record

I see what you mean, too, about so many different strains. I am currently searching for ones that meet my medicinal needs and wants, vibrations really. You were right about the White Widow mellowing somewhat with time and it now has quite a few appealing properties, like a mouthful of mango sensation right upfront of the vape - quite sensational. And I’ve learned to ease back on it - too often or too much and it’s headache inducing so I can only use it sparingly. The burnt rubber aroma and flavour is still there but mellowed and mixed with aniseed and some other spiciness I can’t name. And in the middle of all that, it’s very piney. Moderately ‘loud’ I think is the expression - meaning all of that is pretty intense. The high is a little sharper than I like and relatively short lived. It’s fun but there are others I like more, like this kush auto I just had some of... and G13 Haze. I’m yet to even try a pure sativa. Waiting for a window to get the Panama going

So yes still searching, hence my aim to grow a few small ones around these 2 medium sized ones. So what you say about also finding ones that grow well here in my microzone is a good thing to be looking out for as well. Pleasingly, the Candida CD-1 seems really happy in the tent. It constantly looks like it’s “charged” All spikey, if you know what I mean.

So, in other news, I had some great news today. The gorgeous canine who I made some dosing oil for, and advised it’s mums on dosing and what to look for, is doing really well

I am absolutely the favourite Aunt! She suffers arthritis and some anxiety, Beautiful alert and passionate animal she is, too Anyhoo, mum said - “nothing short of a miracle” She has transitioned well of all anti-inflammatories and now doing as well as when on them, “and actually better!”. That’s on 4drops a day of not particularly potent EVOO infused with Candida CD-1. I think the oil is around 4-6mg/ml 20:1 CBD, so that’s a microdose of 1-1.5mg.

They are very very happy. And now so am I

Look what I learned to do right here on 420 Magazine. Thank you my crew!

From my own experience, I believe that the plants don't want full intensity those last couple weeks of bloom. I run a perpetual so it isn't feasible for me to reduce intensity for just a couple plants in the room, but if I was running batches, I'd dial the light back at the end.

This is spot on... most of the time if a particular line wasn't inbred indoor it'll be used to descending photoperiod and blue end of the spectrum in the last 2-3 weeks at least, cause that's what you have outdoor in September/October if you're not close to equator. I actually switched my central LED to veg, which is mostly blue end, this time to see if it makes any sort of difference.... it's all about copying the nature in the end, which is why weed indoor will never match the quality of the outdoor one imo.

 

[Amy Gardner]

your bubba looks good

And yes i think so too. I’m totally looking at subtle signs

 

[Amy Gardner]

Hey that’s a super cool thing to be trying, C! I look forward to your musings on it once the produce is in.

Update supplemental: Bubba Hash

I gave the Bubba it’s Brix last night (8 days since the last one) and added some Snake Oil per @stoney Memoirs suggestion. I mixed it a little on the weak side, just becasue that’s how the numbers rounded out, and lower seemed better than higher (gently gently).

I’ve realised I went ahead and used the SO without even checking-in with the brains trust on it, but Stoney M is a long time member of that brains trust and I do trust his take on things . Plus a few of you here have grown the Bubba and didn’t disagree with Stoney M, at least not that you posted . I’ve never heard anyone else say that BH is a strain that needs SO. I am seeing that a demand in the plant isn’t being met, so we’ll see how this goes.

Seeing as I had it out of the tent for spraying, I took some more snaps This is a great example of how moody it is. This is always how it looks at lights on (unless it’s dry). 12-14hours into the day it really starts to curl down, staying like that until lights out, and then will be perky like this again after the dark period when lights come on again. I know plants do this naturally, wind down at end of day ad perk up for lights on, I’ve just never seen it happen to such extremes.

There’s always a plant that seems to mirror an aspect of my own experience In summer it was the bendy-Wendy Candida CD-1 (echoing my bendy-Wendy fatiguable EDS body) and this time it’s moody Bubba Hash, echoing my moodiness and fluctuating energy metabolism. I hope I can get Bubba’s energy metabolism sorted more easily than my own!

Hopefully you can see there the ‘marbled’ fading on the large fans, and also some fade on the lowers. It’s subtle, but it’s there. CD-1 shows nothing of the sort and I haven’t seen it in my other DBHBB plants, so it seems particular to the needs of Bubba Hash.

I am pretty happy with the structure! The UBT really works and the mains are well established and starting to grow vertically. I am gently tucking leaves here and there in the middle and removed a couple of mangled and very small shoots down low. I might do a bit more of a light prune after the next DeStress

Nearly 2 days ago it had a full Transplant Drench and then last night the Brix w SO. If the fade continues to progress, I might have to do the dreaded Rescue Drench. (I say dreaded because of the amount of product it uses ). If it’s necessary, though, it’s gotta be done. Hopefully it won’t be. It’s a matter of now...

It's not as easy strain to grow as people claim it to be... even if Ace is promoting it as such. It's not the most difficult one either, but I'd say it occupies the highest tier of mid level of difficulty whatever it means Both genotypes I've had were prone to Brix slide when missing potassium/nitrogen and they never looked super happy. Sensitive to temps and RH too. Hard to dial in everything especially in the late veg and transition to bloom, hard to keep Ca/Mg balance with constant calling for salts!

 

[Amy Gardner]

That makes a lot of sense to what I’m seeing.

highest tier of mid level of difficulty whatever it means

That makes sense to me too sounds about right

Any idea on the strength of the dose? I've recently been making canna dog treats for my big Rott that is arthritic, although I don't have any high CBD product to start with, so there's more THC. The doggie treats do seem to help with anxiety. They were much more chill on the 4th of July with all the fireworks.

 

[Amy Gardner]

strength of the dose?

Wow thanks for asking! I meant to put that in there I’m pretty sure it’s 5-6mg/ml 20:1CBD. So the dose is around 1-1.5mg. Once a day, dropped onto food. Pretty much the first mouthful she said. Really small eh. I’ll go back and edit that in to the post.

The big Rott gets about 4mg of THC 2x daily. She's 140lbs. 2mg THC seems to take the edge off the other "smaller" (50-80lb) dogs for storms, etc, as needed.

 

[Amy Gardner]

Yah. These folk wont come at THC for their pup. And she’s much smaller. Not a tiny dog, but still smaller than medium sized and very slender. That’s an excellent idea using it to help them be calm in storms etc.

 

[StoneOtter]

Hi Amy your update and supplement shows how nicely your gardens doing. They are beautiful! Thanks for giving the brix/plain organic explaination, it helps. Happy you and I are awake at the same time day! Edit: Drat missed you.

 

[Heavenly Hybrid]

What a wonderful thing you did Any!

 

[kelticBlue]

mum said - “nothing short of a miracle”

That is what my wife said when I gave infused oil to my cat to stop 'iz seizures.
The seizures came back, once, when he got wise to the drop of oil on his food, ate around it.
A drop on a tuna treat is what we settled on, he would eat that up.
I would not venture into thc myself not delta 9.

 

[Agemon]

I have been there, regularly, and read that you’d read that! I always assume that liking posts lets someone know we’ve visited, but maybe not Better post actual posts more often


I know SweetSue was working under the assumption that it will speed up harvest to cut light hours down more and more. And Duggan does that in the last month of his grows. I’m not sure he dos it to speed things up though, maybe. It seems more light it’s for better ripening, not necessarily faster. But maybe that’s part of it for him as well.

I am dubious about “speeding up” the end of flowering. Sometimes it may be necessary of course because of life, timing and needs etc. But folks are often talking about speeding up finish, and I wonder if it’s actually desirable or not. If you’re speeding up certain processes then enzymatic processes in the plant will speed up and move the cannabinoid conversion along, meaning THC will start converting to CBN giving the impression that the plant is “ripe”. But is it really, or have we just sped up the conversions. I dunno...

I do know that in nature the sun is definitely getting less in tense for less time during the last month of flower, so maybe winding back the light hours nicely mimics nature. Would be work in a perpetual tho

I don't grab the masses like you do and sometimes I may revisit before you've had a chance to check it out. No worries and I don't always check to see 'Whose comin round?"

I've always heard 12/12 for lighting and recently it seems a few peeps are trying 13/11, 14/10, or some other variant of night vs. day schedule. I think some dude was trying some alien planet idea. 18 hour days with 12 hour nights, or that's how I read his question/ comment any way. I'm good with 12/12, it works and I don't mind running a week over.

I think if you're going to start making shorter days and adjusting lights then perhaps more research on the plants origins, temps, day light hours, and maybe other environmental factors may come into play as well. Like humidity for example. Yes tough to experiment with several plants in the same tent. That's why I'm gonna switch to 14" diameter pots and grow less and larger plants.

This is spot on... most of the time if a particular line wasn't inbred indoor it'll be used to descending photoperiod and blue end of the spectrum in the last 2-3 weeks at least, cause that's what you have outdoor in September/October if you're not close to equator. I actually switched my central LED to veg, which is mostly blue end, this time to see if it makes any sort of difference.... it's all about copying the nature in the end, which is why weed indoor will never match the quality of the outdoor one imo.

I will consider myself lucky to live in the land of the sun & heat, I'm a mere 252.3 miles from Death Valley... I'm gonna get to test that theory about indoor weed vs. outdoor, Northern Lights!

Interesting what you're saying about copying nature, more recently I've been considering where I live and not trying to manipulate the environment so much. I live in a desert, it's dry and arid most of the time, so I don't sweat low humidity and I don't try to create more either. Since I've adopted this idea it's been working pretty well for me. I had high humidity and high heat in my garden for the first 9-12 months of growing; I hate WPM that shit sucks!!!!!

After that experience and then white flies too, I shut down for a few weeks. When I started back up I had lotsa fans and exhaust too. Air circulation is key too cause it gets Windy AF where I live. So essentially I've looked at 3 of the larger weather factors where I live and to some extent tried to embrace them and bring them into the tent. And the 5000K QB would be that fourth factor, cause the sun out here...

 

[Conradino23]

RH and temps are the biggest threats to growing in the desert, but it can be done with the right cultivar... sativas do poorly in arid climate though, but you can grow a top-notch indica bud... I have a precious strain bred in Santa Clarita valley, so IDC much about the heat

Outdoor weed will always be the best. The problem is people often butcher outdoor plants growing them like you’re not supposed to do... and yeah the wrong climate makes it much harder, so I should’ve said sungrown weed grown properly will always be better... I’ve been trying many tricks personally, but I just can’t match my outdoor stuff, it’s next to impossible imo.

 

[smokesbetter]

I believe I am! Lol

It seems like definitely a ph issue though. It was only on the 2 that shared the water from a certain jug. The jug had sat outside for weeks so maybe something with the plastic and the heat effected the water . Not sure.

I would say your water went bad i have had that happen , just smell it and you will K-NO if it stinks toss it and clorox your jug /replace ? ! I don't Ph my water it well water and pretty clean .

 

[InTheShed]

Besides, aren’t you supposed to poke yourself in the eye or kick yourself in the nuts, or something similar, for even thinking about PH?

LOL!

The gorgeous canine who I made some dosing oil for, and advised it’s mums on dosing and what to look for, is doing really well

Of course you are!

That’s on 4drops a day of not particularly potent EVOO infused with Candida CD-1. I think the oil is around 4-6mg/ml 20:1 CBD, so that’s a microdose of 1-1.5mg

What does the dog weigh?

Not a tiny dog, but still smaller than medium sized and very slender.

Oh okay. I'm trying to sort out a mg/kg dose from your numbers for a woman in my office. Would you say the dog weighed 10 kg?




Oh yeah, Bubba looks great! I'm sure you have it well in hand with everything you're throwing at it. Some plants are just like that .

BTW, I'm not seeing any leaf droop on my Candidas in the Los Angeles summer sun. And I'm usually still awake at 1pm on the weekends .

 

[Graytail]

My BubbaHash spends most of its time droopy.

I just got used to it after awhile. You can still tell when does or doesn't need water, once you adapt to its habit.

 

[Amy Gardner]

What does the dog weigh?

I don’t know...

I'm trying to sort out a mg/kg dose from your numbers for a woman in my office. Would you say the dog weighed 10 kg?

I will find out today. 630am here now so I’ll report back in a few hours, once the momma gets up and answers my msg

BTW, I'm not seeing any leaf droop on my Candidas in the Los Angeles summer sun. And I'm usually still awake at 1pm on the weekends .

Good. And intersteing. I actually still lean towards thinking that yours may be the ‘indica’ pheno along with this one of mine, and that the one I had over summer (and the one Agemon has currently) are the ‘sativa’ pheno. This one is very similar and I can tel its the same strain, but there was a delicatenes to the other one that this one doesnt display and I’m not convinced it’s only due to the environmental dffernces. The leaves have quite a differnt texture. That’s my take on things Candida RN. Still haven’t managed to it together anything to send to MMG to ask them about it. One day I will I’m sure

You can still tell when does or doesn't need water, once you adapt to its habit.

Which I am sure I will over time. It is telling me it really doesn’t Iike to fully dry out. This has caught me by surprise, seeing as it’s ancestry is the Middle East. It seems to like it a lot when the tent is warm and humid (currently 82º and 62% and BH looks ‘electric’).

 

[Amy Gardner]

Hi Amy your update and supplement shows how nicely your gardens doing. They are beautiful! Thanks for giving the brix/plain organic explaination, it helps. Happy you and I are awake at the same time day! Edit: Drat missed you.

Hehe - that was a late night for me last night! These days at least. Thanks for the compliments otter

What a wonderful thing you did Any!

The the best part, after the fact that the lovely pup is doing so well, is that I managed to convince the momma to try it. It took a lot of talking, aided greatly by my THC intolerant partner telling them all about how good (and non-intoxicating) the CBD is. The momma was really upsets about eh amount of anti-inflams the little one was on to keep her stable and happy so that was a big contributor too. Happy Days.

Oh yeah, Bubba looks great! I'm sure you have it well in hand with everything you're throwing at it. Some plants are just like that .

Thanks buddy! There is always one
