Cali connection seeds what the deal

The Bubba is the only fem that didn't herm for me. But it didn't get me high like I expected. More of a landrace kush high, no head high at all, a little body buzz, calm and mellow. I expected some stoned to the bone shit as much as I hear and see the words pre-98 Bubba. I don't get why it's so popular, is it the smell and taste?

Did you grow out the current s1 version or the one from a couple years back? I grew out the old version, I practically lived off the stuff for 6 months straight and it still got me well baked. I have reservations about the current batch of s1's, I've seen reports of various phenos...I think on TCC website a guy has a sativa pheno. I think Swerve said somebody else made this batch of s1's. You can never trust the stories Swerve says, at this point I feel like he'd cross a a bubba to the closest plant on hand and call it Bubba s1...there clearly is no testing and this never changes. Unfortunately I bought some of the new bubbas thinkin he couldn't fuck that up after the great experience I had with the first batch...and really, how much 'breeding' goes into an s1? Then I hear some other guy made them and there are sativa phenos...blah, blah. The master of disaster strikes again!

Excellent post there Dr. Kushman! You've got me thinking twice now about running these right along side the RD Venom OGs. Separate grows for sure.

Blackwater at about 49 days. Smells like grape soda and has some beautiful coloring going on even with 75 degree nights. Not a nanner in sight but I did use the reg seeds and sex. Hit some females with the male pollen also, hoping for purping up my other strains. So far I'm a happy customer, but only trying a few things, not relying on these strains for my whole garden.

I guess I'll share my experiences, as I have bought and grown a fair bit of their gear.

Bubba pre98 s1...grew out a pack (from a couple years back) and had great results. All phenos were very similar, not fussy to feed, great end product which made me invest in several more packs from them.

OG sfv bx2...grew out a half pack, got 2 females. One was not great, the other was quite nice but impossible to keep happy nutrient wise...thought I'd dial her in next round but mom auto'd so I chucked her.

Jamacain OG...grew out a half pack, 3 girls. One hermed badly and was culled, the other two were very similar but the potency was a 5/10 at best...and the mom's auto'd for both anyways.

Alien Dawg (original)...grew out a pack, had 4 or 5 girls...the 2 chem d phenos were very nice and high yelding, the other 2 or 3 were mediocre...I don't expect every pheno to be gold, so having 2 great out of 4-5 is very good imho. No complaints on this pack.

Chem D s1...attempted to germinate a pack, I got about 5 or 6 to germ, then 1 or 2 runted out. I think 4 ended up making it to the flower room. The results on all 4 plants was consistant, garbage! I think 1 of them got culled a few weeks into flower, the other 3 I plucked nanners daily. Top colas the size of a pinky, no smell and mediocre potency. As for yeilds, my alien dawg (chem d pheno) would triple it. Completely unnacceptable yeilds and final product.

Blueberry Chem...germed a half pack, took 4 or 5 into flower. Hermed like bonkers, had to cull them all just a few weeks unto flower.

Orange Chem...germed and flowered a half pack...they started to herm later than the blueberry chems, I was so freaking tired of pluckin nanners every day...I ended up putting a dividing wall between my cali connect gear and the rest of the room to control the pollen...sure enough, much of the room was seeded by these. End product about 6/10 potency, very seeded.

Raskal's OG...this was hyped as the most anticipated release of the year or something like that at the farm, but my seeds were pale and tiny. Predictably, had poor germinations results...about half pack, then one or two runted out. I ended up flowering out two fairly similar phenos, medium yeilds of fairly mediocre herb which lacked any OG looks or smells, both plants hermed but I didn't lose sleep over that since the moms auto'd as well.

Mixed pack...bought a pack not gonna bother with em.

Customer service...I was in that replacement packs thread at the farm, got shafted like most others who were respectful and patient. Not that I was gonna beg for more problematic gear, as his story of having problems fixed seemed about legit as a three dollar bill.

Overall, there was keepers from the Bubba s1 and Alien Dawg, ...otherwise, everything else was a waste of time, space and money. Over a grand spent, for 2 good packs.
But this can't be?
Anything from TCC is straight fire especially if it says Raskal on it,burn your house right down.

Way to tell it like it is bro,+ rep to ya

We been knowin this.Males & hermies in all of it,fems regs it don't matter.

How do you know that Venom og is any better? The company with those beans is newer than tomorrows newspaper and have no reputation.

Yep, s1s ordered around September 2011.

so all that being said, if you were to suggest someone elses bubba, who would it be?

Have NOT grown them, but Dr. Greenthumb is the only other one I know of putting out a pure bubba seed. Pure as in not bx'd to some ghani or whatev. I hear his current Bubba seeds are pre98 x katsu not straight katsu like they used to be...which I am perfectly fine with. I'll definately be giving them a go at some point.


EDIT: I have some of the new TCC bubba beans, I should get some DR G Katsu and do a side by side. Though I'm sure outcome will be quite predictable.

that would be a pretty great side-by-side

if you do decide to do it, please post the results ;)

Overpriced selfed elites doesnot make a respected breeder. Thats pretty obvious in this thread.

UPDATE: so I'm checkin out TCC site for any grow reports on the new batch of bubba, swerve has recieved reports of 10 sativa phenos. That is a lot considering that these seeds where released fairly recently, and not too many people have gotten em to the finish line yet (just look how few grow reports are out there). I grew out a pack from a couple years back and they were completely uniform, nothing remotely sativa in there. Since I'm shut down for the time being, I gave my freind a pack of seeds to work through. He only started 2 because I warned him of a slow veg time...they are currently a couple weeks into flower, he says they're growing as big and fast as the og kush plants in his room...I have to think this s1 bubba came from a bx or something as I don't trust it to be pure pre98 anymore. He used an extremely similar excuse for his auto-flowering issue as well...blaimed it on the recessive traits again, I blaim it on lack of testing / pollen chuckin.

swerve:

and there has to be a recessive satty trait in bubba... but way the f down in the dna...as there have been like 10 or so satty phenos people have told me about..but its like .0001% of the overall product...

we have been releasing bubba fems for almost 3 years now.....lol why would i use a bx when i have the original clone and have had it for years..lol

great speculation...so if i used a bx to make the fem seeds youd think id have male female reg seeds then of the bx wouldnt you...lol come on now...and back on the first release using csilver we had reports of a few sattie phenos as well..look em up on thcfarmer under the assumption the info is still there...research is keene

You released the Bubba s1's about 3 years ago, then again this past summer...they weren't available to purchase online for about 2 years or so. I know, cuz I'd been waiting on em since I grew out a pack from the early release.

As for the speculation, you could make fems off a bx'd female you have on hand, no? I have no idea why you'd do that, aside from using a mis-labled mom or something.

I never did see any reports of sativa phenos from the earlier Bubba s1 grows, and my entire pack was extremely uniform...unlike reports on the current Bubba s1's.

dart intelligent post. kudos hahahaahahahaha

kushman go onto thcfarmer. they were a few just like there are a few here... all the current bubba s1 reports r the same minus the couple that have found 1 sativa pheno ...dank ass real pre98 bubba.. we released the original clone so why would we not have it and use it.. kinda lame to make an assumption like that come on now...

hell do ur own testing.. get the real pre98 bubba cut i released and reverse it ....

My "lame assumption" is based on this photo and reports like this :

I'm in week 3 of veg and I gotta say I'm disappointed. I popped 6 beans. All germed. All six look different. I too have a satty dom pheno. Only one exhibits true bubba leaves so I'm hoping that's the keeper. Overall I'm really disappointed in such different phenos in a pack of 6. The leaves are starting to twist on 2 of em. Hope these things flower good


The photo, and these kind of reports of the new beans are in stark contrast to my experience with the original pack I grew out...and that was when you provided 10 beans per pack not 6. We have 2 that just went into flower, 2 vegging for next round...I hope they turn out amazing like the batch from a few years back, my buddy says they are huge with big, fat indica leaves...he says they vegged fast and are stretching in flower...I did not experience this with the 10 phenos I flowered, all were nearly identical. Something is definately different than the original batch...can't wait to see what we gots.
