Baby Bubba update

[rockman]

Well my Bubba auto is not a baby anymore! The buds have been really growing up and filling out lately. About 2 more weeks of flowering left. As an experiment I did not top her, and though the shape is different from most trained plants, the buds forming now should supply a very decent harvest. She's growing under CFLS, and I am positioning the fixtures as close to the entire top canopy, and defoliating the lower portion. Can't wait for the high CBD Bubblelicious. (from Nirvana) to be ready to use! 😊

Man of my Heart. Lots of leaves. Green is gonna roll his eyes.LOL

[rockman]

Thanks King!! Can't begin to tell you how much I respect your growing advice (and that guy who calls himself Green 😊)!

[Green75]

Lol....looks great rockman....keep up good work!!!

[rockman]

Thanks Mr.Green!! I tried hard to defoliate, and things seem to be falling into place with this baby. Your love of growing cannabis is so obvious from your posts! And I love your desire to share your knowledge with others! 🌻🌻

[Wattze]

You're right! They've grown up!! She's very pretty, ready to start my bubblelicious! Lol

[rockman]

Thanks Wattze! Patience is so hard sometimes when growing...I look at my baby constantly and know I need to wait for the growth to occur as it will. Good luck on your current baby...won't be long for bubblelicious! 🌱🌱

[Wattze]

Very soon, my friend!

I moved my Bubblelicious to the flower room two weeks ago along with Aurora Indica. AI has stretched 8 inches already but Bubba has only stretch an inch, maybe two. Both have a good start on budlets and have about a dozen colas each. Looks like your girl had a long stretch on her and a lot more colas! I topped mine and did LST. I'm using CFLs, too. Big difference in appearance, though. Maybe next time I'll go all natural.

Beautiful girl!

[Dagmar]

I just noticed that you said your girl was an auto - mine is not.

[rockman]

Thanks for the compliment Dagmar! That stretching on mine may be due to the fact that for the first 4 weeks, I was not alternating the nutes with plain water (another experiment). Then she got so huge and tail that it was a bit much for my setup. Now that she's flowering nicely, I think her large size will actually work for an abundant harvest, since there are so many buds, and they all pretty much look like they will grow big (but not huge). Good luck on your babies! 🌱🌱🌻

Looking great rockman. How tall is she?

[rockman]

Thanks! She's about 4 feet tall, due I think to skipping the plain water alternation early on. I'm counting on the large size and many buds to help make for a nice harvest! 🌸

Whats up Rockman, your babies look AWESOME!!! May i ask you a question? You mentioned that your using CF lighting, may i ask what watts you are at, and how many bulbs? I was also thinking of moving to autos, and your results have definitely decided for me, thank you!!!

[rockman]

Thanks Cracker!! So appreciated! I've increased my CFL wattage recently. I was doing about 10 -60 watt bulbs, now bumped them up to 100 watts each. This gives me about 15000 lumens, which I heard (I hope correctly) was a good point to start with indoor cannabis. As far as autos..I love them so far for my needs and setup. Made my first grows easy! 😊 May all your grows be abundant! ,🌱🌱

[Cracker08]

Thank you Rockman!!! Im on Amazon right now, upgrading!! Thank you again,

[Charlie]

nice job, looks like lots of nice bud.

[rockman]

Thanks Charlie! Yes some lovely buds swelling up now....a great time in the growing cycle to observe,! 🌻

[Karlee]

Looks great Rock

Not babies those are adult females smiling at the camera! Hows the smell?

[rockman]

Thanks Karlee! 🌸 And boy they can smile pretty sometimes! 😄 Just starting to get some aroma, which I'm looking forward to in the next few weeks....it scents up my bedroom so heavenly! 🌿🌿

[Karlee]

I'd love it in the bedroom!
Glad to know I'm not the only one that would do this LOL

[NebulaHaze]

They look great! Definitely all grown up now Developing very nicely!

[rockman]

Thanks Nebula!! I've not always done my gardening (and other things) in traditional ways, so I was curious to experiment with this girl with no topping, limited training and, as mentioned in other replies, skipping the alternating plain water. I will do my next grow (another bubblelicious grown in Kind/Ocean Forest), and see the difference. Thanks again for all you've done to help make possible this cannabis growing addiction!! 😄🌸🌿
