Katsu's MASSIVE Pre98 Bubba Kush Reversal Bean Run

I think the Kaffir Kush went the longest (I pulled a bean out of a bud still in the grow and germed it) at about 4-5 weeks. The rest between 10 days and 3 weeks. I was running on a tight schedule and needed to flip the lights and get this run started so some didn't veg as long as I would have liked. The goal, however, was to get a few keeper phenos and to test out all of the new gear :-)

Thats decent growth for bubba cross for such short veg! Looking forward to seeing how they turn out.

I haven't run the S1's or the ECSD cross for almost 15 years. The GG4 cross I ran a few a bit over a year ago and the laptop took a crap. All of the rest of the gear is untested crosses, but everything I've ever crossed with the Bubba has been fire and I'm not expecting these crosses to be the exception. That said, this isn't a big money grab and if anyone doesn't like what they get I'm going to make sure I make them happy. In many ways, Bubba Kush changed my life and I've done everything possible for the last 20 years to get it in as many people's hands as I could. In addition to what I'm posting I sent out about 40 packs of testers to people on all of the boards I'm on so there should be a shit ton of pics soon.

I've got another Pre98 reversal running now with 3 new crosses - Katsu Bubba x Pre98 Bubba, Black Lime x Pre98 Bubba, and Jackie O x Pre98Bubba and I'll be looking for testers of those in mid September if you or anyone else here wants to give them a go :-) HMU via PM if you're interested...

James Bean is trying to talk me into having one of his professional photographers come to my grow to take pictures in mid September, and I'm just really reluctant to have anyone I didn't already know at my grow. It is my intention to seriously step up my photography game between now and then so I can show everything in detail, with proper lighting :-) Right now I drag a bag from the tent to the only area outside I can get to that's not visible to outsiders to try and take pics early in the morning with halfway decent natural light :-)

you can do it!! I recommend getting a camera that has "focus stacking" built in. You can't get a good shot of a bud and get the whole thing in focus so the camera takes a burst of shots in quick succession while simultaneously racking the focus in/out. Some shots will have the front in focus, others the middle, others the back, etc... The camera then magically combines all the shots into one with everything in focus! That, a ring light around your lens, and a cheap tripod or a clamp to hold the camera to a chair or something are all you need. You still might have to drag plants outside if you're not growing under white LEDs.

You don't need pro camera; even a recent point and shoot with a macro function can take great pictures of whole buds or plants in bright light for viewing on the web. That's because phones killed the casual market so all that is left is stuff for enthusiasts and pros.


If you really want to learn about photography, like learn more than what 99% of pro photographers know, there is this great course from the computational photography lead at Google Research (and professor emeritus at Stanford.) https://sites.google.com/site/marclevoylectures/home

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. I would eagerly accept budget camera/lens/lighting suggestions because I HAVE to get better :-)

Would this strain be hard for a first time grower?

Nothing challenging about this one. She likes the nutes a little on the heavy side because of the Bubba influence - should finish in 8-10 weeks depending on your pheno and personal preference. She makes some really nice rosin if you do concentrates :-)

I came across your gear on dcseedex and came here to see if anyone else had experience with your gear. Pretty cool to have you here. I think I'm going to give it a shot in a 5 tote rdwc system.

I'd rather not see any pics than to hear you brought in some nasty little fuck bug into your garden from outside.

This particular tent is completely isolated from everything else so these would be the only plants at risk. I've got a yellow sticky trap in the tent and beneficial nematodes on standby :-) Right now I'm working on improving the lighting situation indoors while I take a photography course (someone on 420mag referred me to a Google course taught by a former Stanford prof.) - highly technical but I'm pretty sure when I've waded through the 20 hours I'll know enough to be able to take some decent pics. The goal is to be a competent indoor photographer within the next 6 weeks - sometime between now and then I'll get whatever extra gear I need (lights, lens) necessary to take great pics but I'm reticent to purchase anything until I have a better understanding of the subject :-)

Blah blah blah (damn rosin hit) Long and short, everyone wants to see pictures and I need to figure it out and figure it out fast! I'll try not to kill the tent in the interim :-) - the last few shots were indoors and they didn't turn out 1/2 bad
