Gorilla Bubble BX2

Date: Grew late June- Oct4 outdoors, maximum sun.
Strain: GORILLA BUBBLE BX2 Pheno: Glue leaning.
Breeder: TonyGreen's Tortured Beans
Grower: aridbud/afterthought autos



1. Visual Appeal: 9 Excellent.
2. Visible Trichomes: 10 Trichomes thickly covered
3. Use an X to indicate the colors that are present in the trichome heads under magnification or list the percentages of each color for a more precise report. Clear ~~!> ~20% Cloudy ~60% <~~~> Amber ~20%
4. Mark with X the colors that are present in the buds: color analysis.
Light Green [X ] Gold [ X] Grey/Silver [ X] Rust [X ]
5. Bud density: Dense nuggets, easy to manicure, multibranched with a few inches between bud sites. Cola was 13+"
6. Apply to the aroma of freshly broken bud. [9 ]
[ X] Berry [ X] Pepper [X ] Fruit [ X] Cedar [X ] Spice

7. Aroma [9 ] Sweet, peppery, balanced essence, not overpowering, but light fragrance/oils (listed above)
8. Seed content [10] No seeds, no hermy issues. Rock solid female!!!
9. Weeks cured [6 days at indoor humidity ~17-25% ], then jarred, opening every 3 days for 20 minutes. Still curing, not fast cure.
THE SMOKE
1. Water pipe (bong-bubbler) . TWO tokes spaced ~3-4 minutes apart. Sedate, happy, thoughts scattered, definitely pain reducing (after 2--30 minutes), nice glow feeling.
2. The taste (all equal tasting for most part. Berry & faint Diesel more prominent, then came (see below).
Berry [X ] Floral [ X] Fruit[X ] Petroleum[X] Pine [X ] Nutmeg [X (after taste hint spice). Pleasant smooth draw/exhale. YAY 10! for that!

Definitely a keeper and very impressed!!! I set high standard and only 2 other strains (one in Zandvoort, NL, one home grown) that were absolute 10's!!! There's nothing to improve tony - it's an outstanding strain in all facets. Gorilla Bubble BX2 for the "Glue leaner scores definitely 9.7!!!" pheno- exquisite!



My palate gravitates towards bubble, fruit yet love others too, so was excited to grow the strain. NL, Hazes, JH, Sweet Tooth are my rotation strain jar. Only tried GG#$ in CO for comparison.



To me, BEST of both worlds, the Gorilla Bubble!!



Excellent genetics, tony!

I will post up pics tomorrow night but I can tell you they have close to doubled and stretched a bit since their last pics @tonygreen . I nocked off all the undergrowth and leaves that will never get enough light and have been bending the main stem to bring the branches up even with them. I cracked one of the main stems almost in half but taped her together, we will see. A ton of bud sites all over the place. Only two weeks in and they are blowup big time. Stem work still leaves a skunky/Mellow Yellow sent on your hands and fingers with a little lingering gas or diesel.

Sorry to hear about your lady Tony, that situation has to wear a man thin at times.

Fuck yeah! What a legend and what a great report!!
 
Those lights are impressing me more and more ha. Whats the temps like in there to deal with?

Not to mention those girls are blowing up!!!!!!

Really showing off the Phenotype difference.
Once you get some experience running em (or from looking through either of the big ass threads) its easy to tell right from sprout.
In your room you can see the big difference in structure compared to the sour b leaners.
Those look real similar to the dads I've used. They had a little less leaf tho.

What you got there is a room full of a classic gg4 leaning pheno. :)
Thats the one that is also a scroggers dream, if your net skills can keep up!

So we had a few outdoor reports this year so far. Looks like she can handle herself out there guys.
Need to see more. We can call her a early to mid October finisher out there without exaggerating ha. Hopefully convince some others to give her a shot outdoor next season! (She wont disappoint)
Still some other smoke reports coming in!

Looks like you got her dialed bro. Don't overdue the mag! Keep your cal ratios in line and she will reward you well starting week 5-6.
I'd cut the epsom out around week 3 and lower the cal mag slightly after the stretch and shift to more p-k. Nitrates in cal mag can cause the golf ball type flower structure.
The more the stack colas the more you nailed the transition on these! Looking damn fine in there.

That is a helluva gpw. Really impressed. They like your style thats for sure.

I use the same cal mag btw, ive used it well and fucked shit up with it lol.
I wish it had a bit more calcium in it than it does. That is why it is easy to knock out the ratios with epsom! 5% cal 1.5 mag,,, we're pumping em with mag when they need more calcium/better ratio to function more efficiently.

Thank you brother! I run GH CaMa+ which is only cal and mag in a 5 to 1 ratio no N. It's from their bio line and has served me well. I did notice early on this cultivar is a P hog. I had to ad a little bloom booster through out veg to keep her stems from being totally purple. The stems purpled out during cloning and I have been feeding a small portion of Size + which is a bloom booster from the start here. Thank you for the input I'm sure I will read through multiple times and gain some knowledge in this craft.

Thank you @tonygreen , much appreciated. The temps are at 76-78 lights on 70-72 lights off. Thats only 400 watts of cobs in a meter squared. I might break my record of 20 zips this run. Going with 1.3ec of Veg + Bloom, Size Plus, Epson salt, GH CaMa cal/mag, fulvic/humatic acid blend and some chitosan. These are some healthy ladies for sure... :)

Yes, I ran 16 plants 4 different cultivars and pulled 20 ounces. They were in one gallon coco pots hand watered. The lights are a build I made with 8 Cree CXB 3590 3500k cobs and 2 Mean Well HLG 185 1400 drivers that gives me a PPFD of around 940 in the area used. I built it a year ago and it works well, the plants love the full spectrum light the white cobs put out... :)

Here is the documentation.

Sorry man, I didn't understand a word of the LED stuff LOL, it sure sounds freakin awesome though! The 20oz has blown my mind and I have no doubt about the spectrum too! I want to build one of these lights when I move :)

It has become much cheaper and easier to build your own light in the last year. The options have all improved as the price has dropped. They are still not cheap but I like throwing energy dollars at light over waist heat. I live in a place where the heat from hps only let me grow 3 to 4 months out of the year and this light has allowed me to grow all of this year. This alone has made a difference for me with the price of the build. Not to mention the quality of cob grown bud... :)

I have set the house A/C to 72f and at the peak of summer my grow only hit 80f which is as warm as I like to go in flower. With the same setting of the A/C and my 600 watt hps I couldn't get under 95f. The 200 watts of pure waist heat killed me growing in a desert area...
 
Tony, do you have a link describing the differences in the current GG4XBubble offerings that I could check out. I'm sure I have seen one some where but cant seem to find it now. I'm picking up the GG4XDub for sure. Just wondering which Bubble cross I should get.

Also of the freebies that are at GreatLakes which would think would be the best choice for tree type grows?
