SIP’n with Hook Daddy

Alright, my next grow is well underway and is another Sub-Irrigated Planter grow with 1 Dosidos and 2 Bubba Kush. I re-used the same soil mix in the SIPs with a boost of Espoma Garden Tone, a bit of epsom and some lime. I found the mix of the one that didn’t perform as well last time had much less perlite and peat mixed in so added more. Since I am writing this later I already know the change to better aeration made all the difference. Here they are on Mar 28, and about 2 weeks from germination.

This is the Dosidos:



This is Bubba Kush #2 for this run, it is a self topped mutant from birth and became numbered 2: I didn’t think it was going to make it, then she pulled together fantastically.




This will then be Bubba Kush #1.



More to follow soon.

I've been really thinking about trying a SIP setup sometime soon and with Bubba Kush on the menu I've got to follow this one. Best of luck with the new run.
Are the Bubba's S1 seeds or clones? I'm a sucker for this strain.

These are from seed I got a year or so ago from Barney’s. Right now looks like the Dosido is the monster plant of the grow, it’s going wild. I’m somewhat new to growing Indica, so perhaps the slower growth on the BK is normal. The BK looks awesome, just so bushy and I’m used to sturdier branches and structure.

Mine takes forever to veg and has very stiff, brittle branches that are hard to train by LST. The smoke is worth the hassle in my opinion. Absolutely my favorite after dinner joint.

Well I’m liking the sound of that. Those pics were from late march. Here they are on Apr 17 so a bit more than two weeks later.

This is the Dosido from Barney’s Farm.



This is Bubba Kush 1



Here is BK 2. It was the mutant from the start that was self topped.

Here they are a week later, this is Apr 24. Growth in the SIPs is almost as fast as hydro once the roots hit the res. Still have not done anything other than water, although I will spray some Armor SI tomorrow morning.

Bubba 2

Here is today, another week of growth. I didn’t exactly lollipop them but cut a lot of the undergrowth, leaving some of the bigger leaves. I’ve continued to lst as well, the Dosido responds very well, the kush is a bit more bushy and brittle branched. They are all showing good promise though.

Here’s the Dosidos


And her undercarriage


Here’s BK1


And BK2


A nice mood out tonight as well!

I meant moon, but mood works too! And if I haven’t already said it, anyone is always welcome to post in my journals, just keep it civil is all I ask.

You never cover your SIP over with a cover, or mulch? I grow in a SIP too, and make a cover out of pandafilm.

I had the cover that I split and had a hole for the plant, but took it off off at some point and forgot to put it back on. That was last grow, didn’t seem to make a difference so yes, I just leave the top open now.

Nice! Glad to see more SIP growers out there! Here are two Ethos Mandarin Zkittlez R1 in 5 gal sip’s in a 4x4 under HLG 600 rspec day 21 of flower day 104 from seed.

Here’s a few pics from yesterday, May 9. This will be 1 week from the flip to 12/12. They are growing like crazy now, drinking about 2 gallons a day each. I can’t wait to get the new Spider Farmer light on the Dosidos, I usually have my HLG on the light rail moving a bit farther but looking forward to more light over the whole canopy.

Here’s the Dosi


Her trunk is looking nice, she’s going to be a tree soon.


The bud structure is starting to show a bit, leaning toward the sativa pheno I think.


Here’s a few pics of the Bubba Kush plants.


A very different structure, much bushier. Can’t wait to see how she turns out.

If you haven’t been following the grow, I have been waiting anxiously on the new Spider Farmer Se5000 from the 420 day contest, thank you so much @Spiderfarmerled for supporting us and your awesome giveaways! It came recently, I have the unboxing on the giveaway thread


Now here’s the light up on the rail over the Dosidos



And another view.

They got a good trim today, buds are starting to form nicely. Here is the Dosido and BK 2



And the two Bubba Kush

Thanks for your share, enjoy your grow with Spider Farmer LED.
Looking for the growing!!

Alright, it’s week 2 from the change to 12/12. Things are looking good, the new Spider Farmer SE5000 is working great over the Do Si Dos. The Bubba Kush is looking awesome, I’m loving the bud structure starting to form up. Well here see for yourself.

The DoSiDos






The Bubba Kush 1






Bubba 2







I did scratch a couple handfuls of Espoma Garden Tone into the soil this afternoon, they don’t look like they needed it but it seems time. If they look like their getting hungry I can top water a bit, otherwise it will just work on its own.

Sometimes I forget how much difference a week can make with these plants. The growth is amazing for week 3 and I’m loving the SIPs and the simplicity. The new light from @Spiderfarmerled is performing wonderfully, here’s the Do Si Dos under the SE-5000, a great sturdy growth with the bud structure node length perfect IMO.



Here’s the Bubba Kush plants, looking good as well. They are stretching more than I expected but not an issue yet, I was just surprised.





Here’s a closeup, at least for my phone.

Look good man, there proper stacking !

Another week and a bit. Still growing and doing well. Not much new, I did about destroy one of the Bubba Kush plants trying to raise a trellis net, I won’t do that again. I think she’s ok, just lost a few buds but the were smaller anyhow. More power to the rest.
Here’s a few pics. This is the Dosido



Here’s the first Bubba Kush. More tight flower structure than the next, but beautiful.


The Bubba Kush leans a bit more sativa than I thought it would. Looking forward to trying them all but especially this one.
