Sups all fellow entrepreneurs?! 
My past grows and current have been Bubblelicious and Northern Light from Nirvana. After soon 4 grows of Bubblelicious, I wanted to try a "new" strain, both to me and the market. Went on the internet to do some window shopping, was leaning towards SLH and Alaskan Ice from Green House. Heard some bad germ and growth rate from GH's SLH...remeber this is only what I've read in these forums, not pointing any fingers, so whilst on the net I logged onto Nirvana and sent Alice a PM bout the previous order and the outcome, genetics wize. I couldn't decide what to order that day so I decided to sleep on it.
Next day I went on the net again and checked out most of the renowned seed banks and breeders. I thought most prizes were to much and ended up at Nirvana and planned to order some of theirs Jock Horror. When I logged in to place my order I saw I had a msg from Alice. She had out of the blue resent my item, 5 fem Bubblelicious beans, and 4 days later they arrived in my mail. Ty Alice! At this point I was thinking of starting fresh w a new "geen pool" of bubblegum.
A friend came to visit and surprised me w 5 fem Headband beans. Unfortunately 2 of them had been "crushed" during their voyage to my humble dwelling.
So here I am w 3 remaining Headband beans ( OG Kush x ECSour Diesel), put them in soil 24h ago and just awaiting their "arrival". I'm excited to say the least
I plan to grow these 3 beans into mothers, take clones and flower 2 from each plant to see wich 1 to bee a keeper. Why I'm not just growing them out from seeds is cuz according to my "source" the reason you don't see HB beans on the market (more often sold as clone) is that it has a tendancy to self seed, wich "dissapears" when taken clones to flower.
I'm starting the beans out in party cups that I've wrapped w reflective tape. This to keep roots "darker" due to the thin cups. Cut some holes in the bottom for drainage. I'm using a "starter" soil w a pretty low NPK value for the first 7-10 days and then transplant to bigger pots and a "complete soil" pH 6,2 w time released ferts. For the first 5-7 weeks I will only feed them plain water + Super Vit, then start using nutrients at low dose and adding up as it grows. Nutes I'm using are made by a local plant school and I've done side by side comparing their nutes wich are rediculously cheap compared to BioBizz organic nutrients I've used before, and they've proven better in every way...the soil is also from the plant school and is so far the best I've used and at half the prize of the BioBizz All mix soil. Switching soil + nutes I'm saving roughly 70-80$/grow wich is pretty much considering I flower 6 plants at a time, and it has proven w better results
Here are the 3 Headband beans wich will be under coolwhite fluoros soon as they sprout, 24/0 lightning first week then 20/4 for veg. I will also add 4 x 23W warmwhite CFL's after a week or 2, just not needed at this point...
For flower I will be using 400W HPS, Sylvania SHP-TS.

Actually the bubble is still going- harvesting two in like 3 days!! -but I'm looking for a new strain now that I don't have the Red Dragon anymore.
