Looking good everyone!!!!!!! Here is the bx1 i have.....she is looking so healthy, strong, and stocky........nothing like some of the pics seen here but i figure i would join the fun..........she is about 12 inches........should i flower her now? I have 11 other strains and they are ready for the flip.........im looking to find 4 or 5 good strains out of the 12 so she is a keeper and will run her longer next time but like i said just testing the water...........

I had the same issue with my BX1's very tough shells that looked like they were pinched at the opposite end of the pointy side.
This trait passed on to my all of crossed with my SB. I have some crossed with Petrol on a 2nd BX to the SB, F2's from that cross and from the initial outcross and most all have this pinched end trait. I just had some germ issues with some of the 2nd BX that I just germed. Even though all the seeds cracked with in 24 hours in water and a little Floranova plus (as the seeds are about 2 years old), after transplanting to coco about 25% of them ended up not sprouting and they died with the shell firmly stuck to the condyles holding them shut.
Oh well I do have 75% of them still going so that is not bad

Hi Southwind;
Germ testing will begin this evening, and I will report the findings as soon as available. If they are viable, I will get those things to come up for sure!!!

Thanks to all for the advice
My LS and God Bud all germed. I soaked them all the same way as usual.
It just drives me nuts to not have the "perfect germ rate"(whatever that is).
But I do have 2 thriving SB right now(from the same seeds) so hopefully they will continue to thrive, and let's all say a ritual spell that these babies are girlies.
I hate the soil I used this time. Weird little knats all over. Never had those before. So when I transplant I am NOT using this soil again.
Peace~
Bruja p.s. I am excited because this time I have BAT GUANO. One kind for vegging & the other for flowering.

From my experience, BX1 and BX2 were fairly similar, but BX3 had the most color, different flavors, and different pheno expressions by far. Potency was not lacking in any of the back crosses. If I had my choice BX3 was the most fun and interesting to grow no question.
Vermonster
If I had that plant, I would slide it out of its container and examine the root structure. If the bottom of that pot is filled with roots, I would transplant that up to a larger pot and veg a couple more weeks at least for sure, then flip. Your prodution could double.

I believe the shells need to come off as soon as you can get a grip on them and pry off the shells. That tool I have is perfect for that and I have saved over 500 Sour Bubble plants with it that would have otherwise died.

Red stems were really not a trait in BX1, 2, or 3. Could be in BX4 though or could just be from the parents of that perticular plant. Lots of colors in later BX generations.

OK CF you persuaded me to think about holding off on the sb bx1.........she is in a 3 gallon square pot atm filled w/ str8 coco.............i cant imagine her being root bound but i def could use more yield!!! Has anyone grown out Dr. G's SB bx3? I also have 1 of those as well but she is much smaller than the bx1.....anyway anything from the Dr has got to be super dank due to his experience and thumb of green...........
The Vermonster said:
If that plant has filled the bottom of the pot with roots, you will see a boost in production going into a larger pot prior to flower. In fact I can just about guarantee it. I have finished plants side by side in 3 gal and 5 gal pots and everytime wished I had gone to 5 gal, but timing is everything. If that 3 gal is rootbound, you missed the optimum transplant time, but it will still benefit because root growth continues alot in early flower.
Yeah, Dr G's plants look real good for sure!!!

I like that outdoor Sour bubble, might have to try that on next year 
How long before it is done?

Good thing about SB,is that it doesnt lose as much water weight on the average as most strains.So a little plant might sometime yeild as good as a bit of a bigger one due to the density of buds and the smaller percentage of water weight lost when dryed.I grow them a little bigger and Veg longer, but it works out cus i grow lots of Sats,so i start them first,veg the SB longer and they both finnish around the same time with a bigger plant of SB than usual.I get 2 or more Z's everytime from SB in 3 gal bags and have gotten a 1/4 off one inside once.I have about 100 or so BX 1 and 3 outside and they are lookin sweet,pickin them around Oct 15th,but mold is always an issue in the 4 years ive been doin them outside,thats why i put out a bit.Peace and stay safe,DancesWithWeed

Thanks CF1, I have a more specific question. Are all SB X's indica dominant??? Also, from what I read in the strain lineage thread, SourBubble is a four way back cross of White Label Bubblegum, is this accurate???

Great Job CF1, just put quotation marks around what CF1 said and that is MY EXACT ADVICE nad INPUT.
That is why he is second in command on this project.
Southpaw , yes..SOUR BUBBLE IS INDICA DOMINANT.
I do not think there is almost any [if any at all] of Cannabis Sativa in her.
My communication with BOG himself and his extensive postings here and elsewhere..which I do not think I have ever missed one...
have never indicated [no pun intended] any INDICA.
He states in a letter to me that it DID involve a 'Aghan' at some point and straight Indica Bubblegum.
I have never seen a SOUR BUBBLE with any traits that resemble even recessive characteristics of C.Sativa.
I have seldom seen RED STEMS except in younger plants.
Catching the REPOTTING right is very crucial to SB maximizing.

A good man.

Those pics look so tasty! I really can't get over the hash pics on the first page. I'd love to taste some of that. Sorry for my ignorance but what exactly is crossed to create Sour Bubble? I'm assuming a Sour Diesel x ? Excellent work Southwind.

Thanks Southwind,
Judging by your pics your wisdom is truly evident .

Sour Bubble
Sour Bubble
Sour Bubble is its own thing.
It is not related to Sour Diesel..which is it own thing..and very good also.
I think 'sour' was a looked for trait for awhile...Sour Bubble does really have a Sour , pungent, almost citrus bite, but also very sweet smelling and tasting..so sweet and sour.
It came from BOG seeds Bogbubble line, a rare phenotype of bubblegum that it took a long time to find a male of.
Bog looked for a long time for a male of the original 'sport' Sour Bubblegum mother.
He finally did, as you see, and then he backcrossed it 3 times [BX ] to try to get it as close to the original mother as possible.
A still well know hybrid and has stood the test of time.
It is a classic now and I am preserving it for all of us to grow in the future, by getting seeds out there as freebies and Cannabis clubs and giving to growers in California and elsewhere.
have fun
