Thanks man. Nice avatar LOL. I doubt Jock Horror is really that similar to Jack Herer. It costs $30 for ten beans! Nirvana uses it's own Super Skunk instead of Skunk#1 for the cross. I'm the sure the other genetic contributions are suspect as well. It's a high yielder for sure with an energetic high but I'm just finding out
that there's way better shit out there.
That good huh?
I'm only half way through flower on my first of those but the smell is already very promising.
Haha they're 7ish weeks. As to how I get them like that, here goes. My medium is a coco coir and worm casting mix. For those plants I am using 1 gallon (yes, you read that correctly - 3.79 L) pots. I am experimenting with smaller and smaller pot sizes and it does not seem to matter in coco. I'm currently flowering some other plants in 1/2 gallon pots with no problems with "root binding" so far. The Bubblicious in question are both about 42 inches tall. They're being flowered under a 600 watt HPS (with way too many other plants - they could have been a lot bigger). Nutes are AN Monkey Juice, AN Big Bud, Ionic Boost, Botanicare Calmag and Liquid Karma. I cut off lower branches depending on how crowded things are and these got chopped about 1/3 up from the bottom (5 nodes). Temps average about 80F. Um.. I think that's about all you need.
Very interesting. I've actually been trying to find what the genetic background is for the Bubblelicious. I looked at Nirvana's description and realized I've been spelling Bubblelicious wrong this whole time but that was about it. It doesn't say what was used to make it. I know the Jock Horror is Haze/Skunk/NL and I also have Nirvana Super Skunk. What is interesting is that all three Nirvana strains I have smell exactly the same at mid-flower. A very sweet, juicy-fruit type of smell. As the buds mature the Jock Horror will get a citrussy sourness added to the juicy fruit smell. The Bubblelicious gets a funky stank almost like dog shit. The Super Skunk keeps the same juicy fruit smell all the way through harvest. So I had figured that Jock Horror and Bubblelicious both had Super Skunk as one of their parent strains. Maybe it's the NL? IDK because the only NL I've had was pretty musty-smelling.
But I was able to actually sample his pink buds and I think they taste just like my green ones. As I said before they have a funk about them like sweet dog shit. The taste is very sweet and a little skunky with a distinct bubblegum aftertaste. The stone is pretty heavy and usually makes me sleepy. It's a great bedtime smoke. Of the three Nirvana strains I have this is definitely the funkiest smelling and when you open the curing jar the poo poo stank fills the room LOL.
Vey nice,that extra 200w seems to do the business from reading the journals ive read.
Dude,how expensive is it to run your plants like you do with all the nutes and stuff?....Also with the coco coir and small pots how often do you water them?
They are stunning though i must admit,if you ever saw rasclots journal on the jamaican lambsbread they look pretty similar to his monster
Ionic Boost is only $38 a gallon I thought in the 1/2 gallon pots I would be having to water all the time but so far it's been every other day through 4 weeks of flower with some plants starting to need water every day. Looks like it will be every day from here on on. Plants in 1 gallon pots can go 3 or 4 days in early flower and 2 or 3 days in late flower. Keep in mind I use no perlite due mostly to the fact that I don't want to be watering these small pots three times a day.
I'm there man
I keep my ppms on the low side, maxing out at 1600 on the .7 scale during mid flower. If you want to see my ppm schedule go to this link. Change it to "medium feeding" on the pull down menu and look at the graph. That's exactly what I do. http://www.advancednutrients.com/nutcalc3public/
