Default 1st time indoor grow, Bubba Kush clone
Hey everyone,
This is my first grow as well as my first post on this forum. The only way I was able to get this done was because of this forum and all the helpful info so thanks for that, but that aside I would really appreciate feedback since im such a newbie to this all.
Here are the specs...

Bubba Kush clone about a few weeks down the road.
In a 2 gallon pot.
Foxfarm ocean forest soil with grow big every other watering.
3 15W tube CFLs (weak i know, just for now) all within an inch from the foliage.
(All the brightness in the photos is where they are placed)
Those are on an 18/4.
Fresh airflow and good temp but no humidity control (kinda dry right now in SD).
Water is pH tested.

I know she looks a little parched but i just watered her today.

Please please gimme feedback on this, i would really appreciate it, i want her to grow to be nice and strong for obvious reasons

Oh and her name is Chloe

so hears an update to all one of ya,
ive been following my usual routine i started out with and everything is going well.
today i actually bought a new 27 watt "true color" cfl that is now right above it,
and im pretty sure its gonna do wonders; i can already tell by the light its emitting.
so, so far so good!

i also threw a northern lights clone in my green house so now im going to have an indoor out door competition, and ill post some pics of that as well.
its only a wee little clone right now

What up *SD*

Looking good man...

I'm growing 3 BK's myself (mothers). My tallest is 25 inches. I keep mine 18/6 under 6 23w 100w equivalent CFL's.

When you can add some FF Big Bloom (2 tablespoons) to mix with that Grow Big ( I use 1.5 tablespoons)...

Actually. Use the whole FF line...

SD, try keeping that R.humidity in check bro, 50 if possible and you'll be alright.

Grab a clean towel and run it under warm water for a few seconds, get rid of some of the water and roll-it-up or fold into a square and place it near the plant under the light, and if you have a 32oz cup you don't use fill it with water and place in the area this should increase some humidity for you.

This has worked for me so far. I hope this helps you out bro.

Hey thanks for the reply!
That's awesome man, any extra info specific to bubba kush?
Have you already gone thru the process with them before?

Ya I'm definitely gonna start with the rest of the FF nutes but money is tight enough to prolong that investment (hardly even an investment).
So that will help with the humidity...? that's awesome!
I was dreading having to spend anything for a humidifier

Well hey, thanks again and keep tabs on this!
I need the help

No problem *SD*,

Mine are mother plants, I want them to bush out a little more before I clone them. I also have an HOG (Hindu OG) that I took 6 cuttings from on Halloween... so far, so good...

Get to know your plant keep temps under 80F 75F best and that RH between 50-60 see if you can buy a Thermo Meter $19 bucks at a hydro shop.

I've collected information on BK here and there, people/net.
Bubba Kush is a 'clone only strain' in California.

Indica
Indoor
56-63 days (flower)
Sweet aftertaste
Sweet, kush-like
Relaxing, great pain killer, medicinal

Low yielder but potent ...

im gettin a little lighter green starting to appear on the two lower leaves,
possibly some kind of element deficiency...? i did hear that its common for the bottom leaves to fall off on clones, should i be worried?
i also wanted to clone it with the bottom leaves but now they are going down hill,
should i do it now before they possibly fall off?
and last question, is my 2 gl pot big enough? or should i trans it to something bigger?

thanks!

What up man.

It is common... don't overfeed with that Ocean Forest though... you should be good without nutrients for at least 30 days from transplant. and then do half of what the bottle recommends. (I go, 1.5)

i also wanted to clone it with the bottom leaves but now they are going down hill,
should i do it now before they possibly fall off?


They're gonna fall off anyway. cut the leaves in half to reduce weight on rootless clones. (unless they are too wilted, then just let em be until the plant feels like letting it go.)

and last question, is my 2 gl pot big enough? or should i trans it to something bigger?

You're good for now. but that also depends on how big you want that plant to grow... I grew mine in 4inch Rockwool and transplanted to 3 gallon pots filled with Hydroton pellets.

Oh, yea.
Make sure your plant is at least 2 months old and mature before taking clones. this could stress/slow growth to the plant... stress = low yield...
Gotta have PATIENCE my brother....

I let mine go 10 weeks before taking cuts.

Hey dude,

so i cut the bottom leaves in half and one of them looks like its for sure coming off, but there other is good.

man its amazing how much this new true color spectrum cfl is helping,
the plant is just eating it up

so i flushed it the other day just because i felt like it,
and now there is a lighter green appearing on the inside of my top leaves.
i know the BK leaves are lighter so maybe i flushed some bad stuff out,
or maybe i flushed some good stuff out (pics below).
and i didnt pH my garden hose

and also im noticing some minor deterioration on two leaves of the same branch.

Thanks for the prompt responses

UPDATE

yet again another update, even tho know one is really paying attention but hey,
this is a log so im keepin it goin until the end!

so all thats changed is i flushed it about a week ago, and the thing is just eating up the light.
its a little over a foot tall now and everything is looking real nice and healthy.
i thought i could see the roots down at the bottom of the pot, so i might get a 3 or 4 gal for it before flowering.
which brings up another question, i have no idea when to flower...
i heard that you have to wait for the the leaves to start alternating and i think they already have, but its only about a foot tall...
whatever the case, everything looks grand and im stoked for the flowering period just around the corner.
