Dear jeepster1993, I'm doing the bubba's gift, it has some huge leaves, but it has been growing slow. It's sort of N sensitive too. Veg phase for about 8 weeks? I can't remember. I think it should be twice as big. I'm organic/ indoor, should I let this sucker veg forever, to get a good yield? I topped it at the 8th node, with 4 main branches. Any comment? How did it taste? I'll prob. give it 2 or 3 more weeks before I flip it. Any advice?
I know how you feel. I put my Free Bubbas gift bean in flower 10 days ago and she was slow in veg compared to my other girls. image.jpeg

I too have a bubbas gift about a week in flower. That plant grows slow as hell, is leafy as hell, don't know how the yields will be but I cant imagine very high.

The smell though, like some kind of sweet grapey soda poured over musty dark chocolate powder. If she tastes as good as she smells I would grow her again for personal use.

I would let her veg as long as possible for yields, just soooo damn slow though.

Thanks for the info. and picture, sky rocket. I have been growing B. gift with no problem, but I did switch the light from the old, smaller led to a 120 watt led...I think that has a little to do w/ it growing. I had it about 7" away from the top, I think that's too far. 6" seems good and bright. I don't like the pictures I get w/ my camera ( crap ). I got Ripper Acid Dough 1 1/2 weeks into flower ( 1 ). It smells musky/ OG , some coffee smells at night. Today I came back and my place stank like mexican grass. I'm newb that enjoys the shit, not an expert.

My bubbas gift is showing traits of female and male parts in flower. I may have had a light leak but I fixed the problem. I'm going to have to trash her because I don't want her skeeting (skeet skeet in my Dave chappell's voice) onto the rest of my girls. I would show you a pic but the upload button on RIU isn't there.

My yield was poor.
My room averages a bit less than a gram a watt. The last grow of bubba kush and super lemon haze came in at .87 grams per watt.
The Bubbas gift was half that. Not even a half gram a watt.
The plant was small, the buds were also.
It DID flower quickly though. Mine took like 54 days of 12/12.
It is a heavy indica. It smokes like it. A good taste and a stone more than a high.

Won't grow it again. But I will say for free...the price was right.

I have some Headband 707 femmed growing now.
They were free too. From Herbies. 2 plants.
Still very early in the grow.

My thinking...
I have some totally dank Blue Fire growing. They are not sexed yet. Will loose some, half, to sex. These 707's will fill the space in the main garden after this sexing happens. I want to run it at full. If less than half is male, I can toss the 707 with little loss.

My wife was asking me to grow something chocolate flavored. Let me know how that is or if you have other suggestions
I don't have high hopes for it. It's colorful. The hardest buds I've ever seen. It's got GDP as half the mix, and this is almost identical to a gdp pheno I ran - and hated - recently.

The grow at this point.

The left rear is a Bud's dogbud.
The other 2 are the Humbolt Headband 707 femmed.

The LED light is still not running at full, perhaps at 66% of 250 watts. Afraid the light will burn the front one. It seems not to like my tent??? The other one and the dogbud love it.
Wow, that LED is far from the plants, and they don't seem to stretch at all, lovely.

How the hell HSO get OG Kush x GDP and name it Chocolate Mint OG lol. If they got chocolate phenos coming out that cross they must know something I don't know lol have heard OG having a subtle mocha type and that was one persons palate.

My freebie HSO 707 headband is looking pretty good. She is flowering beside my SourD cut and there are definitely similarities. The yield seems pretty insane, I agree with whoever said that HSO seems to breed a lot for vigor/yield. We will see what the bud is like in a few weeks, I'll do harvest pics by I'm too lazy to pull the whole plant out alright now.

The plants LOVE the led.
Not only is far, like 2 1/2 feet, but is also turned down a bit, maybe 80% of max.
I will turn it to full and get it closer when flowering...Then they will go nuts.

I want one. How much did you pay for it? Do you have a journal with your led details in it or something cool?

All said and done, the light is costly up front. But there is less cooling needed and more light. That saves in the long run.
PLUS they grow the dank! I mean the wow kind of grow.

I got a DIY kit from Timber and it still cost about $100 per cob. 5 cobs...

I do have a grow journal
