My BubbaKush is almost done! Check it out!

[DrTrichome]

Here are a few pics of my BubbaKush in action. 10 plants from seed, 5 in 3.5 gallon pots with coco, 3 with soil, and 2 in 5 gallon bubble buckets. All fed with the Lucas Formula plus some Sweet and Floranectar. All under one 1000W HPS with Hortilux lamp. 6" Carbonaire with a 6" Vortex sitting on top of it and a 50lb CO2 tank enriching the air. The room is cooled with an old-school swamp cooler which I love. Here they are at 45 days flowering. Sorry about my bad photography, its from a really nice camera I just don't know how to use it well under the HPS. My wife takes great photos under it so I will update with fresh new photos soon that will be much better.

Looking quite fat and happy there! Ultra nice set-up and VERY tasty looking Bubbas....gotta get my hands on that one day!

Enjoy the fruits - OGH

nice setup man!! Great buds too!

How does that swamp cooler work for ya? Does it make the room too humid?

[DrTrichome]

At first I was worried that it would make the room to humid; however, it works great! The setup is in a 10X10 room but sectioned down to a 3.5X3.5 canopy space and the RH was already low (20-30%) prior to using the swampy. My RH is usually around 35-45% now and temps are always under control. In fact, I was able to shut off the 6" Vortex because it was not needed anymore which lowered the noise levels considerably. I have the swampy setup to a Sentinel cooling thermostat which turns it on when temps get above 78. The swampy brings it down to 74 within a few minutes and then it shuts off. All I have to do is add water to it every 4-5 days or so. If temps were to get way to high one could add ice to the water and cause an even more significant cooling effect. Good Luck!

pratty cool man.. i'd like to getone because i always worry about smell leaking through my window ac unit.
I think my summer humidity levels are too high to run one though. I read that they are almost useless if your room humidity is too high.

[DrTrichome]

Yes, they will definately raise the RH a bit when they are running depending on your room conditions; perhaps a dehumidifier would remedy that.

A few more pics.....
Pic 1 is just an artsy one of a leaf
Pics 2 and 3 are some of the bigger buds (I know the pics are sideways...sorry!)

VERY NICE GROW DR T. I know it doesnt mean much coming from a newbie but man, I hope my stash turns out half as good looking as yours!

[amnesiac]

very, very nice

[DrTrichome]

The Bubbakush is doing quite well. I have researched that it often takes up to 75 days to mature and it looks like that will probably be what I will need to do. A few of them look like their trichs are clouding up and I will probably begin flushing them in the next few days and cut at least the well developed top branches off and let the bottom ones develop for another week or two. Any suggestions?

[damnpolice]

sick grow man, i hope mine look that good at day 50

peace

eyy DOC,

those look pretty dank to meee,

what kind of nutrients have u been using?

[DrTrichome]

Lucas Formula plus a little sweet and floranectar.

Also, I just got my hands on some beautiful GDP clones for the next cycle so I built a little veg tank to hold them in for the next couple of weeks in my little cabinet with CFLs. Check it out.

[WELOVEWEED420]

cut off some of the leaf on the clones fan leafs. helps

[DrTrichome]

I recently put the clones on a diluted 3-6 lucas formula rather than the pure H2O they have been on for the last week. Their roots have bursted through the net pots and they are lookng great. I cut the tips off of a few fan leaves like weloveweed suggested but not much for they are looking very happy. The entire stem of every plant has turned a dark purple and is very rigid, almost like it has been lignified. I am used to the leaf petioles turning purple here and there but not the entire plant, especially at such a young stage. New pics will be posted soon. Thanks for the suggestions and comments-
