With so many good Bubba Cuts going around CA, why order the seeds online?

Well, my thinking behind it is the symmetrical growth you get with seed as apposed to a clone would give me more lower branches to screen with.
I don't know, am I off base here?

Oh sorry, it was low stakes, everybody gets 1500 chips to start. What you guys see is the chip count. You buy in with $5 and first place paid about $150.00 there was only about 50 people in this one. I played one the other night with about 280 people and took second for $520 My buddy plays the high stakes, He wins at cards and losses at sports bets. Rich one day and broke the next. Thats not for me, I like to have fun. I play the low stakes until I get enough to buy into a big one. I played three bigger ones so far where the buy in is $150 there is like 100K real money in the pot but havent won one yet, I get nervous and dont play well. I got enough for a couple big ones now, I'll let you guys know if I win one.

as usual i'm late to the show.

cruzer! it's impressive ! the set up, the genetics. i'm a fan! i was wondering what i'd be doing this afternoon. a movie or your 2010 grow...

Ha! the seed dude, Father nature. Welcome fatboy,
Roll up a couple, grab your choice of beverage and start with the build journal... gonna take a while!

This first shot is the Silver Jack,




The rest of these are the G-13

















.

Looking awesome dude, i have been dealing with this same rain and i hate it also, i hope it stops very soon.

F'ing AWESOME I think this season is great for flowering!!

Yea buddy, Spring harvest is where its at. Its like growing in a refrigerator.
Maybe next year I can score some 3 foot tall moms to start with. I bet I get over a pound here.

That really would be so awesome. You dont have near as much trouble with the pest (mother chuffing spider mites!) as you do in summer as well.

i lost my winter run.... fin nematodes... bad soil.

glad to see yours are lookin so damn pretty!

I don't know if it was the preventive measures I took or the cool temps but this grow has no bugs.
Zero, Zilch, Nodda. Gotta love it.

Aw, bummer dude. Sorry to hear you lost your winter grow. I didn't see a journal.

no, i didnt journal it, i havent really done a journal in a year or so now.
after i lost the crop bout mid thru veg, i started experimenting.
playing with a few strains in a breeding project... pretty much planting 20-40 seeds at a time and culling them all but the very bestest!
yep, im growing moms.
ive got a blueberry skunk pheno that is bushy and wonderful(tends to go purp w/incredible bag appeal), an indica LSD pheno that is lean and scraggily in veg, but a heavy budder on finish(its named lsd for a reason... killer buzz!), and a royal kush pheno that is short, bushy, leafy, but also a heavy budder and very tasty, resinous buds(connoisseur smoke).
so for six months ive kept one each of these 3 strains in perpetual slow veg, pretty much @ 60f deg under 18/6 just seeing how they react to being moms...
once i get my moms big eough to take 18 cuttings a peice, ill start stocking my cabs again. my goal, is to be able to take 18 cuttings about every 18 days.

its funny, 18 seems to be the magic number for me lol.

I don't know if you are off base, but from what I understand, the Bubba's that are clone only herein Cali are of superior genetics/quality to the bubba seeds that come from greenhouse. I am a stoner so I can't quote threads anymore because I dont remember, but I have read a lot of bad things about Greenhouse seeds, and that the bubba is not up to par. Not trying to rain on your parade or anything bro, just an observation on my part. Cali Connections has a BX2 Pre 98 bubba in seed form that IMO is the closest to the real deal clone only...

So that's what you been up to. Sounds cool man. Ya know, If you want to shoot me a cutting or two in a plastic baggie I would love to try and grow out one of those blueberry/skunk girls and shoot you back a sample.

Good info man. I read about the pre 98 bubba but went with greenhouse cause it was cheaper and I have had good results with there seed. I thought there Train wreck was fantastic, Anyway, I don't wanna go all summer and end up with average bud. I'll think about this a bit. Thanks for the heads up.

pm me id be honored.

Week 7 Silver Jack
Week 9 G-13

Looks like G-13 is about done. Buds are swelling at the tips. I need to run some duct work to the drying shed so I can use the scrubber this time. I's been shitty weather so I haven't done it yet, got most of the stuff. Good news is we got sunshine for at least a week to finish them off.

Got some more trich shots today, Seems like ya seen one ya seen them all but WTF.
My guess is 90% cloudy 10% clear overall but I do see a few amber.

Silver Jack mum,


















Finally the G-13












Damn, gotta love it.
Looks like I got a bit more trichome production out of the silver jack, smaller trichs but more of them.









.

Forgot, I got the seed today, Took one week.



Seeds look good,

Awesome trich shots cruz, the G13 will be coming down in a weeks time you say?

Those TD seeds look fine, don't think you'll have any problems. When are you going to be growing out your TW, indoor or outdoor? I'm gonna be growing Dutch Genetics Trainwreck in about 3 weeks. Would be cool to see how much they vary, but if you're growing them outdoor there won't be much to compare haha.

I'm loving it Looks like your vertical scrog netting is working great, still have walking space I agree with WOWgrow, the TD looks good. I have planted seeds that look worse Looks like a very interesting summer

Thanks guys, I'm digging it man.
Yea, the G-13 will probably come down this weekend. Kinda watching it to see if its gonna fill out anymore.

Wowgrow, you brought up a good point, I was kinda wondering where everybody went, now it makes sense. People follow journals of grows that are similar to their own so they can compare and I don't see many backyard greenhouses on here. I plan on growing the train out there. In my case it doesn't make sense to me to flower in the cab under 400w when I have the sun and the 600w in the greenhouse. I can keep my plant count down (just in case I get another visit) stay legal and grow monsters. Besides, what if the patent I am caring for doesn't re-up her script this year? Better safe then sorry.

I'm limited to 12 plants at this time, with these tangerine dream being a smaller plant I want four of those in the front row of the greenhouse. From what I have read I can grow them 6 feet tall. The back row is where I plan on growing train and bubba but most likely only two or three plants will fill that area so if she re-ups and all is good I will grow a couple in the cab for you guys to compare with.
