Nothing left but to dry and cure.

Nasty stinky, sticky weeds.

After they are dried, I will get the weight. I have 2 mothers (in my Phototron) that I am going to start flowering in two weeks.

Can you tell a little about your drying and curing process GD?
I dont know what a mother weed plant is. Are you going to flower them in your Phototron?

I have cut them down, chop chop.. trim trim



There they hang !

I am drying them in my 3 X 4 X 6 grow box. This stuff (Pre-98 Bubba Kush) is extremely SMELLY . So by drying them in my grow box, I have circulating fans, Carbon Air filter and exhaust fan already build in temp control, etc.

I will leave them in probably for about a week or so, until the stems almost break and the buds feel dry on the outside. Then the final trim and into the Mason Jars to cure. There are plenty of good tutorials on this site that explain the "Curing Process", pick one.

What is a mother weed plant, good question. The Mother Weed plant is a plant I keep in Veg state ( 18/6) for a extended period so that I can take cuttings to make clones. I have already taken clones from these mothers 3 times.

I have 3 mothers, 2 Bubba Kush and 1 Blue dream.

I have put the Blue Dream outside to flower and have a newer clone to save as a mother for the summer.

I am going to flower the Bubba Kush mothers under 400 watt HPS, with 315 watt CFL side lighting.

I won't flower in the Phototron because I have a bigger grow box with more lighting.

I will put in some clones in party cups into the Phototron 18/6 and pick the best ones to be my new mothers.

Thanks for the infor GD, have an awesome stinky weekend!!!

So all said and done I got 7.55 oz of Buds.

Dry Bubbas Yields per plant

1 14.4 g
2 23.3
3 32.8
4 29.9
5 26.1
6 25.2
7 21.4
8 19.8

misc. buds 21 g (buds cut during trimming)

total 213.9 g = 7.56 oz

The smoke is very excellent.

This was a test to see if I could increase my yield by flowering 8 Bubba Kush plants at 18 inches.

I don't think it work out as I had hoped. That's almost 1/2 pound in 75 days from clones to cut, so I am not complaining.

I am going to run another test, trying to grow in a perpetual manner, Chopping every 4 weeks.

The Bubba Kush is a great 8 week flowering plant from clones, like clockwork. I plan on putting 2 X 24 inch plant under 12/12 every 4 weeks. This will allow me to veg 2 plants for 4 weeks, before putting them to flower.

So well see, wish me luck

wow those look great you said yours reek of bubba but my pre 98 didn't really smell that much the smell was there but not overwhelming like i would like it. I only grew one plant but it gave me about 35 grams dry i amd assuming because it weighs about 70 grams wet

Good Luck on your dry weight. I'd guess more like 15 grams.

Mine has great and strong smell, you can smell it ten feet away when I open it, almost immediately.
