Best Strain for Bubble Buckets???

I am looking for strains that do well in bubble buckets. Strains that were specifically bred for growing in dwc. I survived my first dwc adventure and am looking for strains. I tried herojuana, green crack, moby dick, purple diesel, ramulan x skunk #1, white widow, and big kahuna. I think the ramulan x skunk did the best in the bubble buckets. I am also looking for a strain that will be able to be trimmed in the trimpro well. It took my buddy and I five days to harvest our 10x10 room. All of the strains did well. A few strains were purchased from the disp came in large chunk (maybe a gallon) of rockwool. The rockwool encased strains did not do as well. Next time I will definitely be looking for clones with minimum rockwool.

Thanks for the help guys. RIU seems to be the forums that has the most dwc crowd.

Just curious as to how tall and how well the white widow did. Was thinking about starting my white widow of my extra buckets but wanna make sure I have the grow space for it.
As for a good strain, I am currently doing a snowryder grow and it seems to be doing well.

The white widow was one of the plants that came in the extra rockwool. So they didn't get as much veg as the other plants. The ramxskunk took over and ended up shadowing the white widow. My white widow turned out orange. I'm not sure if the disp mixed them up or we did. Either way I am not a good source to answer your question.

Id stay away from most Haze's and Kush's if your looking for yield. I know for a fact that Wonderwoman (from Nirvana) grows quick and produces alot of bud however the buds were leafy for me (hours of trimming). You could try Cinderella 99 BX1 from Mosco Seeds.. Ive heard that does very well as a quick flowering sativa and has decent yield. Ive also heard great things about G13's Labs Pineapple Express, supposeded to be a great match of yield to quality.

Were the above mentioned strains grown dwc? I do not want anything fluffy, leafy or anything that cannot go through the trimpro. Trimming for a week of 12 hrs a day blows. I am not worried about short flowering times just long as its not more than 10 weeks.

Thanks for all the responses everyone.

I ran 6 Nirvana Swiss Cheese in DWC and it was an amazing grow. I yielded 1,007 grams running CO2, 1000w Magnum XXXL & using a water chiller.

ive never thought of bubblegum. Does anyone know if bubblegum was named bubble for being grown in bubble buckets? I always thought it was named bubblegum for the smell of chewing bubble gum.

thanks for all the replies guys

Do you have experience growing bubble gum dwc? I have been thinking about jilly bean, chocolope, and durban poison. However I do not know that these are proven bubble bucket strains. We picked these strains as they are strong strains that will taste excellent when made into bho.

Durban poison is a sativa I believe, I wouldnt consider sativa dominate strains as "bubble bucket strains" just because I hate dealing with the height issues (last grow I had to raise my light all the way up\and still had to tie the branches down to the side of the wall, otherwise they'd stretch so far and burn into the light.

Not to mention sativa vs. indica phenos.. looks like I'll be dealing with it this grow.

Id go G13 Pineapple Express for a bubble strain. Its indica based, tastes of pineapple, and has a good yield (from what Ive heard, never grown it. I do have some seeds of em though)... Indica strain, good fruit flavors, good yield, sounds like a great candidate~

Bubblegum has and will be a keeper strain for me in my DWC buckets. They are GREAT yielding plants and the smoke is good, not devastating but very good. Definitely a high grade strain if let to finish out. My nugs on this last few plants are the most resin covered beauties I have seen yet. Bubble gum doesn't stretch much but it does bush out which is good for me, and yes the nugs are hard, and huge compared to other plants. Some of my secondary nugs on these beauties are bigger then my TH Kushage main colas.. nice. About 60 days in flower.

Haven't noticed much bubblegum flavor but it is nice smooth smoke.

Here is my next BubbleGum plant I am harvesting in about a ten to 14 days. Its about 3 foot 10 inches and top two colas are about a 16oz bottle right now. All solid nugs with nice secondary colas everywhere.









Sorry phone pics. You get the idea though.

Thats really impressive. Which seedbank did ya get that from? I havnt researched much into bubblegum... bubblegum is the biggest turn off for me. I hate the taste.. so the name never appealed to me. But now Im curious!!!! haha

Attitude. It really doesn't have any bubblegum flavor per say at least for me, its more of a citrus piney smoke.. it is nice. It's by far the biggest yielding plant and the easiest to grow in my strains.
