I just grew from see the closest thing to 2005 bubba kush when it was a new discovery than any other pot I’ve smoked since 2008 when I was smoking bubba kush deep chunk. The BKDC was way more fire than any weed ppl growing these days cause it was like 250 g per 1kw if you’re luck and for y’all that wouldn’t cut it.
Except it can't be close to the Bubba Kush everybody know, even me living in Europe know the main traits of BK, that's not what you described. Maybe what you got in 2005 was renamed BK to sell easier but was not, it's the most logical conclusion I see because what you described doesn't fit the real Bubba Kush.
Having a yield of 0,2 G/W is really low, the flowers would have to be the best of the world to justify being grown with such small returns.
Bubba kush isn't known to be a yielder, but that's because of the slow veg time. If you can get them rocking in veg and big enough, you will get the weight you want to justify the run. It just takes some time to get them big enough.
I totally understand that, some plants need a much longer veg period to get a decent yield, 0,2G/W though is really low, it could be because the plants were not vegged enough and better yield could have been achieved but I find really hard to justify keeping a plant with such small yield, unless you only grow one for your personal headstash.
This is the reason people aren't running rooms of it. For a while you could find packs all day but it quickly fell out of favor.
Hey guys.....No doubt Bubba`s special or it wouldn`t have stayed around all these yrs , and Icare.....it`s all good bro .....maybe you just didn`t understand genetics .....that said.....to get Bubba to yield requires a separate dedicated veg area just like JL alluded to.....
I have old friends that do nothing but heirloom strains and they take cuts that don`t root fast , veg bubba at least a couple months sometimes longer before pullin the trigger because once flipped she will not and does not stretch.....and Icare.....a Bubba crossed with Deep Chunk would most likely veg slower than bubba by itself.....
I was gifted some DC beans yrs and yrs ago and it was almost a joke what they yielded due to retarded veg time and absolute zero stretch compared to my normal hybrid strains like Chem D.....anyways......Carry on Bubba enthusiasts.....
Peace.....DHF......

How does the Bubba veg compared with the GDP? My Norcal GDP is a slow ass veg looking like my bubba cut might have a bit more vigor. Was thinking the two might make a good pairing for veg/bloom...
Idk man starve bubba of soil in the early days/weeks and 2-3 wks veg in up pot then she was good for me
Maby just my senario
The gdp is much like ape
Shit veg time and lowers suck the life outa the upper growth so do a proper defol and should be ok or comparable to pre98

Yes I've been tinkering around with the GDP mom multi topping and heavy defol trying to remove all lower crap. Still moving like molasses. The one in bloom is looking really nice though.
I agree.
Get your topping in early and let the bitch get some legs. More tops sometimes isn't always the best move.
LT.....Is your cut rooting decently?.....as said above by MM and JL it`s best not to top and slow her down even further with a recovery period just to get 2 top leads.....eventually......and I never tried Grandaddy Purps but is the norcal version different from Ken`s cut ?.........any cabbage leaf wide ass indica plants are not fast or tall growers by their very nature due to where they originated in dry and arrid environments.....
As MM also said that removing the lower laterals will encourage the plant to stretch and produce more foliage so good call MM....now.....
Roots make shoots and fruits , so if there was ever any reason to stimulate root growth for a plant , it`s slow ass vegging wide leaf indicas.....anyways.....Good luck LT....make that bitch put out.....

Thats the idea I topped a while back then did it once more got about 8 mains on her and removed the rest of the under garb to get the tops to move. Slow and steady but better than leaving her untopped! I need Bush!
Amen on the roots factor…… I’ve found with plants like bubba or some slower cookie-family cuts (OGKB, Animal etc), that the root mass seems to be the biggest factor in growth “speed”…..veg the plant with no/minimal topping until it starts to “fill the pot”…. Then when you cut it back/top it, the large mass of roots/infrastructure help the new shoots grow much faster….like they have “hit their stride”…..fwiw, ime….
I must say that the roots in particular on this one were the thickest root tips I have ever seen by a long shot. Maybe its the switch to 100% perlite and only salt but they were huge. I'll check it to see if its bound, maybe. Its back in the rear corner. The little bubba is already catching up to it. I will probably use this one and just take a new cut and just run one gdp. I have an extra Blue Dream to put in its place. Took a couple trainwreck because that one smells up the whole tent. Tahoe is big so that and the Pre 98 bubba ought to do it for the next round.
