Grow Journal Reports

New-Aeroponic-Grow Journal ReportsOnce you get started and learn how to grow weed and taste your first buds you will be hooked. From there you will begin to master the ins and outs of growing cannabis and you will never stop growing weed.

Here are my grow journal reports. My grows aren't always perfect but I learn more with each one. And the smoke is a step above anything I could buy at any price.

SOG GROW JOURNAL – DEATH BUBBA STRAIN

stealth grow rooms

This SOG grow journal will feature Death Bubba in a sea of green. After many years of growing large plants I have made the switch to growing in a SOG.  There are many advantages to this especially for smaller grow spaces which I will detail in a bit.

Here is a Death Bubba on day 17 from another SOG grow journal. It is from a mixed grow and you can see it here.

Death Bubba on day 17 from another SOG grow journal

This is the original GML Death Bubba and comes from BC. Most everything else is a renamed fake. It is shorter than most of my strains and has a tall columnar shape rather than bushy so I feel it would be a good choice for a SOG. More info on the GML Death Bubba strain is available here: https://420dotcom.com/death-bubba-cannabis-strain.html

About My SOG Grow  Journal

First a few basics about my grow. I am using a 2 x 4 flood tray and running flood and drain in it. There are 15 plants in 6 inch net pots filled with growstones. The tray is flooded for 3 minutes every 4 hours and I am running my nutes at 900 ppm to start.

The plants are rooted clones and after a few days of veg and getting them acclimated to stronger light they were flipped to 12/12.

Lighting is a double ended Gavita. The 6/750 Flex can run from 400 to 825 watts. It is the only Gavita designed for grows with lower ceilings and the only one that can run on 120 volts. Click the image to see it on Amazon.

SOG Growing – Advantages Of Sea Of Green

Sea of green is a great system and especially suited to small grows or limited ceiling height. Dont get me wrong here, it is great for larger commercial grows too. No matter what size your grow is you can limit veg time and increase turnover time.

For many years I grew large plants because I believed they would yield more. While this is true in a sense it requires longer veg times and that is expensive. The idea of a SOG is to get a smaller yield from each plant but by increasing planting density you can get the same or better yields.

When you are flowering you are making money but long vegging times cost you money and delay flowering. With a SOG there is little to no veg time. Two weeks would be about the max. Remember the goal is small plants with an even canopy, Plants will veg and stretch for about 2 weeks even under 12/12 lighting before they start to flower.

Because plants are smaller there is much less shading and very little popcorn buds to deal with. In a properly set up sea of green we are focusing on single colas and everything gets even light. Ideally the canopy is short so light can easily penetrate to lower parts of the plant.

I used to worry about plants getting to close to the light even with 8 foot ceilings but not any more! Big plants produce lots of secondary shoots too. These need to be removed or spread out under a trellis to prevent over crowding and shading. Both these issues are a thing of the past thankfully.

SOG Disadvantages

No system is perfect and they all have their pros and cons. While the plants are small and easy to manage you need a lot of cuttings for sea of green. This will most likely mean keeping large, healthy mother plants to provide you with cuttings.

This method is meant for clones. There will be too much variation in size and pheno type with seeds. Seeds will also take longer than clones.

If you are not good at cloning this probably is not a good method for you.

Starting My SOG Grow Journal

Here is the start of my Death Bubba sea of green. I have 15 freshly rooted clones in a 2 x 4 flood tray. They will be flipped to 12/12 soon. Just want to give them a few days to get used to stronger lighting and start digging into the grow media,

DEATH BUBBA DAY 1 -7 OF FLOWER

Things are moving along. There is variation in plant size. They were flipped within a couple of days of rooting. Plants that rooted first are twice the size of those that rooted a few days later.

Ideally all plants should be the same size which produces an even canopy and this is the whole idea behind what a sea of green is designed to do.

I need to take a lot more clones than I need and only flower the best. I also would like to be more consistent in my cloning. It is an art.

DEATH BUBBA AND C99 SOG DAY 2

I just added 3 Cinderella 99 to this sea of green. Since I have a few really small Death Bubba plants that are not going to yield very much adding a few more plants should help with yields.

C99 is a fast maturing plant so I am hoping everything will finish at about the same time. She is very potent and frosty too. Not a large plant and can finish in 8-9 weeks so fingers crossed. These are seeds I made from my C99 BX that I grew many years ago but I have never grown so I am really looking forward to what they will do.

Day 28 Death Bubba And Cinderella

Things are looking better than expected and the C99 should be flowering very soon. Most of the Death Bubba has made it through the screen and looks good. Not a perfect grow by any means but there is a full screen at least.

Day 35 Death Bubba And Cinderella 99

The C99 is flowering nicely. Not sure exactly when I put them in but it is less than 14 days probably 10-12. Guess I forgot to write it down.

The Death Bubba is doing well but with a lot of variation in size. It is very important to have equally healthy vigorous clones because there is no veg time. So they need to take off and grow immediately or you wind up with an uneven canopy and reduced yield.

CINDERELLA 99 AT 15 DAYS

Here we have some Cindy 99 at 15 days. She comes from some selections I made with Mosca Seeds Cinderella 99 BX-1. I needed to compensate for 3 Death Bubba clones that were not doing well so in she went.

She seems to be a good plant for a sea of green although the bottoms need to be cleaned up in my opinion. She does not get very tall either, maybe 3 feet here and she was vegged a bit before she went in.

You can see from the video that she is a very fast growing plant. The buds and the stacking are really fast for only 15 days.

The breeder says she only takes 52 days. I dont know if I will take her that early because she is a very racy sativa and it might be good to let her mellow a bit.

Death Bubba Day 38 C99 Day 21 Calcium Deficiency

After a recount I found it was day 38 and not day 42 as I thought. It is day 21 for the C99. Things are going pretty well but I found signs of a calcium deficiency on the Death Bubba.

There is no such thing as a calmag deficiency. You can have calcium deficiency alone or magnesium deficiency alone and often the 2 will occur together so people say its a calmag deficiency. But they are different nutrients.

In my case the purple stems common with magnesium deficiency were absent. My leaves had typical dead spots common to a calcium deficiency but they also were curling and dying. Because of this I mistook this for nutrient burn. Check out the video below to see how I diagnosed calcium deficiency and treated it.

More Death Bubba And C99

This grow was not going the way I expected and I knew the results would be far from what I expected. I did document most of it, painful as that was.

The Death Bubba buds were great quality although yield was way off. The C99 was in my opinion garbage and I may not even trim it up.

Frost production was way off especially on the Cinderella. I think the room was too warm and the Gavita, although a great light was just not well suited for my closet grow. I will be replacing it with 2 HLG 300 R Specs over time and as money allows.

Death Bubba SOG Grow Journal Harvest

So about a week ago I posted some bud shots of my last grow from my other closet and mistakenly called Tropicanna Cookies Death Bubba. It did not look right but the pots were labeled Death Bubba. So I felt you guys deserved to see some real Death Bubba bud shots.

I discovered root aphids in this grow and am taking steps to correct it. These plants were stunted and while the Death Bubba turned out OK the C99 did poorly.

Running HPS Vs LED? Back To Basics!

My current grows both are running HPS. Why? If you know me at all then you know I like to experiment but things dont always work out as planned so I am going back to basics.

I love LED lights. They save energy and produce a lot of light but I have been having problems with foxtailing and lower yields so I have started running HPS again.

Also I have been experimenting with SIPs or sub irrigated planters using coco and smart pots. While they do a great job of watering I have not been able to keep pH stable and yields have suffered. So until I can figure out why I will go back to tried and true drain to waste watering.

In one grow I replaced a HLG 550 with a 1000w HPS. The strains I chose have all been grown before but only under LEDs. In another grow I have a 600w HPS along side a HLG 550 dimmed to 300w with a strain that likes to foxtail so I should have a better idea if light spectrum or intensity are factors.

When things start going south it is a good idea to stop and retrace your steps. Go back to what is proven and known to work. So I am going back to basics. “Old fashioned” HPS for lighting and DTW (drain to waste) for watering.

HPS Vs LED Early Observations

A few things I noticed right of the bat are that my HLG quantum boards are much brighter even at lower wattage. Of course the spectrum on the HPS at 2200k is more orange and the LEDs are more white at 3000k.

Although the HLG has a more balanced spectrum which is closer to natural sunlight the plants really seem to like the HPS spectrum and seem stronger and healthier even with this narrow spectrum.

The HPS gives off more heat but even in a closet it is manageable with good ventilation. I think I am starting to see better and earlier trichome development too. Here are a few pics of a GG4 and she has nice frost starting already.

Reset On My 1000w HPS Grow

OK so I have reset this grow with new plants but still am running HPS lighting. Plants were not growing that well. Flowering was delayed and bud size was small so I decided it was better to cut my losses early and start with new plants. I am running the same strains with the exception of replacing the GG4 with a Black Banana.

Solving A PH Problem

Dropping pH has been a problem for me the past few grows. I believe it is why my SIP grows did not do well and it was happening here too and resulting in a poor grow.

Turns out something was growing in my reservoir. Not pythium but whatever it was would cause pH to drop like a stone. Even with frequent resets with pH up it would soon drop again.

The results would be small buds and low yield and because it was in the coco I reused and vegged with too I brought it into this grow. Now it is fixed and my pH is remaining stable!

The House Is Rocking Day 7

Really glad I reset this grow and it is doing way better than the one I replaced. 1000w HPS with top feed drip and multiple daily feedings.


The DTW set up is the reason I think things are going so well. A bit more labor intensive than recirculating nutrients but I think the results are definitely worth the effort.

Day 14 Flowering Begins

My plants have begun to flower on day 14. Everything is going well and the drain to waste system is producing nice results.

The plants received a leaf stripping starting on day 10. Mostly lower leaves and some small side shoots were removed. I did not do it all at once but over about 3 days hoping this would not slow the plants down like a full leaf strip do9es. So far it seems to have worked.

GAVITA PRO 6/750e DE FLEX HPS RESET DAY 21

I just replaced a 1000w single ended bulb in an air cooled Block Buster reflector with this light 3 days ago. Plants are loving it and temps are actually lower.

Side Lighting Test

I have a lot of lower branches as you can see from the above video. Since I can not find a definitive answer to how well this will work I decided to try it and test it out for myself.

I am using a HLG 300for this and have dimmed it down to 200w. [amazon_textlink asin=’B07887QTB6′ text=’HLG 300′ template=’ProductCarousel’ store=’buildkoipondc-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’9d7c2054-f4ef-46e9-a872-8ec88ac1577d’]

I dont expect huge buds from this. I think the top buds will always be bigger due to apical dominance. But I am hoping they turn out to be decent sized. Normally I would prune off most of these lower branches. So it will be cool if I can save some labor on pruning and increase my yield at the same time.

Running HPS Day 28

Everything is doing well on day 28. Because the plants are tall I have dimmed the Gavita to 500w and raised the HLG 300 side light up a bit to compensate.

I have decided to try flowering smaller plants so I can run the Gavita at its full 825 watts. Right now some plants are less than a foot away from the light. They are warm but not hot and I dimmed things from 600 to 500w just to be safe.

So I will probably be trying a SOG grow soon. If the plants are flipped at 12 inches I will end up with a canopy between 2-3 feet. This will easily give me enough room to run my Gavita at full power.

Not yet sure how many plants I will run. I will need more to fill the canopy and compensate for the lower individual yield.

GML DEATH BUBBA DAY 30

I have grown GML Death Bubba 3 times before and this is the first time it really looks like it is supposed to. Something was added to the mom and it resulted in extremely leafy plants with little branching. My guess is an overdose of some kind of kelp product.

But this plant is loving life now. The Gavita is close to the tops so dialed down to 500w and she is getting some sidelighting from a HLG 300. Top feed drip and DTW is working really well and all plants have exploded in growth this week with great stacking and buds swelling and growing larger.

Day 35 A Bit Of Heat Stress Going On

Over all plants are looking good. Some plants are showing signs of heat stress, with leaf edges rolling up. I dimmed the Gavita down to 400w and moved some tops that were directly under the light over to the side. Humidity is low right now even with a humidifier and that is probably a contributing factor.

Day 42 The House Is A Rockin’

Things are looking great on day 42. Plants are happy and healthy. Some signs of heat stress and the Gavita was dimmed to 400w but the HLG 300 will pick up the slack. Buds are frosty and swelling.

SFV OG, Death Bubba, Black Banana, Tropicanna Day 49

Things are coming along nicely. The plants are really tall and the Gavita has been dimmed to 400w but the HLG 300 dimmed to 200w is picking up the slack. Originally hung down low as a side light for the lowers it was hung higher up to get light to the tops.

Aside from a few heat issues caused by tops getting to close to the Gavita I am very happy with how this grow is going. I am starting to lower nutrients and will be running strait water for the flush next week.

Flushing Has Started Day 56

Today I started flushing. Nutes were reduced last week from about 350 ppm to 200. From here on out it will be just plain water until the plants have a good fade. Probably done around day 63 but might go 70 days because some plants are really 10 weekers although they can be taken sooner.

Black Banana Cookies Day 60

BBC is a great strain from Solfire Gardens and I have been growing her for a while. She always turns out great even when things go south.

She got taller than expected and one main cola had heat damage but over all the plants in this grow were too tall for the light and I see signs of stress on upper leaves and colas.

I was really surprised to see a lot more purple in my still bud shots. The HPS really hides it.

Green Planet Nutrients Grow Journal

I made the switch to Green Planet Nutrients a while ago. I can only say I wish I had done it sooner. This will be the first full grow journal with Green Planet running in both my grow closets.

The last grow in here started out with New Millenium nutrients but I was not happy with how things were going so I switched to GP3 Part about 4 weeks into flower. The results were absolutely amazing.

But dont take my word for it here is some GG4 that just finished up.

Green Planet On Day 7 Running In Recirculating SIPs

I just switched this grow closet over to a SIP growing system and I am recirculating my Green Planet nutes in it. PPMs and pH have remained stable.

These plants had some issues in veg with a partial lock out or some kind of deficiency. They have pretty much come out of it in flower.

The SIP or sub irrigated planter is a grow system being used by home gardeners but not for cannabis. It is a system that relies on wicking or capillary action to water the plants.

While I did not invent it, nor am I the first to grow weed with it, I do believe I am the first to set up a recirculating sip.

Biker Kush By Karma Genetics Revisited

Biker Kush is a cross made by Karma Genetics. In my opinion this strain represents some of his best work.  It is HA OG  crossed with a HA OG X SFV OG. The male was created by using a SFV X Afgani.

I have grown this strain for years because the smell, taste and high were just unbeatable, Sure many strains today are prettier but few pack the same punch.

A few years ago I lost power and ended up with a really bad outbreak of pythium root rot. I lost this girls sister #10 which was my best cut of all.

This is my #6 cut and she is the sole surviver of about a half dozen cuts I was holding including a really nice 3 leaved biker kush male. She is a bit shorter than her #10 sister and throws a few less 3 bladed leaves but otherwise she is a dead ringer in looks and quality.

Although she survived she lost the smell and taste she once had. Now I am not a biologist but I read when plants regenerate stress can cause the genes to combine differently. They are still there but they dont express themselves the same.

I believe this happens more often than we realize. It explains why the same strain can perform differently in different grow rooms. I think it is important to keep your moms or clones very healthy.

After recloning this girl 5 or 6 times she came back! Each time I would take a cut and veg it out for about 6 weeks and then take another cut. Each time she got healthier.

Midway through this process I flowered one out. It was just OK. Nothing special at all. But about 2 months later I flowered it again and although the plant was small and did not get a lot of light that familiar taste, smell and buzz was back.

So this is a clone of that clone and she looks super healthy like she did back in the day. Maybe even a little bit better! So I have high hopes for the girl I am going to show you now.

Biker Kush Day 17

Thought I would update. This is a very stretchy plant. I have raised the light 3 times for her. I am pretty much out of room. Bending or breaking some necks is the only other option for this girl.

Hopefully she is done stretching. I forgot how tall she gets and actually this pheno was the shorter of the 2 I kept.

Bringing The Frost – Biker Kush Day 28

Today is day 28 and I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of frost on this lady. I believe she really is back from the dead. I am about to do a res change and start adding my [amazon_textlink asin=’B008BI0HN8′ text=’Plagron Green Sensation’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’buildkoipondc-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’aba1c4b2-3b35-480c-acd7-71b162419887′].

This is one time I do change my res. I like to add my Green Sensation first and check the ppms. Then I adjust things up by adding my [amazon_textlink asin=’B07NC1ZFN1′ text=’New Millenium Autumn Gold’ template=’ProductLink’ store=’buildkoipondc-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’ac6a24a7-ff76-4368-b13f-04d93bacc1b9′] and Equinox to the mix. Since the Biker Kush is a hardcore OG I usually will add a bit of extra calmag to the mix too. Here are some pics from day 28:

BIKER KUSH DAY DAY 39

Things are moving along nicely. The buds are rock hard and frosty. In some pictures I took they look white or silver.

She smells like lemon OG gas with some floral notes to it. She makes decent size buds and you can see the difference between her buds and the Tropicanna Cookies alongside her.

So here is a day 39 video for her where I also talk a bit about how to get rid of powdery mildew using ozone to disinfect your grow space.

FROST MONSTER BIKER KUSH DAY 49

What can I say? She’s frosty A.F. and smells incredible. Will take her at least 60 days maybe more.

Day 56 Flushing

These girls started their flush a few days ago and will probably go to day 63 maybe even a bit more.

Death Bubba Cannabis Strain Information And Grow

Death Bubba cannabis strain hails from B.C. Canada, that much is certain. Less certain are the exact origins of this strain. It is said to be a cross of Death Star and Bubba Kush.

Death Star is a cross of Sensi Star and Sour Diesel but the full genetics of Sensi Star have not been revealed. It is believed to be mostly Afghani but there is some Sativa in her genetics too. She is a multiple Cannabis Cup winner.

According to Leafly: “Death Bubba, bred by Matteo Suleyman of Vancouver BC’s Sea to Sky, is a beautiful, purple-hued strain with trichromes and terpenes abound. Created by crossing Death Star and Bubba Kush.” https://www.leafly.com/indica/death-bubba

I do not believe the information to be accurate though. So I would have to say the real Death Bubba’s genetics are unknown and remain a mystery. It is not at all uncommon for a dispensary to claim they have something or rename something if it is popular.

Truth be told Grand Master Level named this strain and was growing it for years before a certain Vancouver dispensary either created or renamed a variety and called it Death Bubba after he refused to sell any to them or provide them with any cuts. So the Leafly plant is a fake and not the real Death Bubba.

My plant did not come directly from GML but it is definitely the real Death Bubba cut without doubt. Death Bubba is a clone only strain and there are no authentic seeds available at this time.

I ran across an old grow on YouTube where a guy was growing a dead ringer for it. He called it Platinum Bubba Kush and it was a cross of Platinum OG and Bubba Kush. Cant say that is what it is but the plant definitely grows more like a shorter OG rather than a Bubba Kush.

Both Platinum OG and Bubba Kush are popular on the west coast so it is possible someone made this cross.

Regardless, stories about its potency and quality abound and I wanted to try growing it for myself.

Death Bubba In Veg

This strain shows strong basal dominance much like her ancestor Bubba Kush. Most plants I have grown show apical dominance. They grow much like a Christmas tree whereas the Death Bubba wants to grow like a bush.

She made a lot of small leaves and shoots low down on the plant. It was keeping top growth from happening. Short bushy plants are not well suited for my training and growing system.

In a mixed grow they would quickly get shaded. Even if they were not the lights would be up higher and there would be limited light available for growth of lower branches.

I decided to try removing most of the lower growth to see if I could get a taller more upright plant.

Death Bubba Gets A Haircut

Late Veg And Another Defoliation

I saw a positive response from removing lowers. Leaves were larger now and although the main branches were upright enough there still was a lot of lower growth that would be poorly lit and not grow well. So I decided to trim her again.

She will be flowered in 2 weeks. I just can’t hold her any longer. She shares her grow space with Tropicanna Cookies which is a very tall plant. It is 24 inches tall and ready to flower while the Death Bubba is only about 16 inches tall.

FLOWERING DAY 1

I decided it was now or never and put the whole closet into flower. Although the Death Bubba is smaller than I would like I still think she will do well.

There are 4 Tropicanna in the closet along with a GG4 and an Animal Cookies. Animal cookies is supposed to be a tall plant and the Tropicanna gets tall and I felt waiting any longer would result in an out of control grow considering the number of plants in the closet.

Day 7 Death Bubba And Friends

Today is day 7 Death Bubba and her roommates are doing well. Right now it is the smallest plant in the grow. She looks healthy and is starting to stretch. Everything else is bigger as you can see from the video.

Day 14 Flowering Has Started!

Today is day 14 and my Death Bubba has started flowering. She is not a big plant but the flowers are looking good. Everything in the closet was given a leaf stripping and lollypopping on day 14.

Nutes were bumped up too. They were getting about 700 ppm and are now at about 1200 ppms. Some additional cal mag was added because I am seeing some purple stems on this girl. Most OG and OG crosses will usually need extra cal mag especially under LED lighting.

Death Bubba Vegs Like A Bushy Indica

The Death Bubba is done stretching and although it is not a big plant the final structure is good. This plant really is bushy in veg and very much basal dominant. But once she goes under 12/12 she begins stretching and growing like an OG.

It has developed a nice central cola with a nice whorl of branches around it. The buds are good sized for their age with thick upright pistils. Trichomes are already starting to show themselves too. This lady is really showing promise. Other than a somewhat slow start in veg I really like her a lot.

Death Bubba And Friends After Leaf Stripping Day 28

Plants are doing well following leaf stripping. I am seeing nice buds and good trichome production starting. In a week you would never know they were defoliated.

Adding Plagron Green Sensation Week 4

Week 4 is when it is recommended to start bud boosting with[amazon_textlink asin=’B008BI0H2E’ text=’ Plagron Green Sensation ‘ template=’ProductLink’ store=’buildkoipondc-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’59b3659a-96bd-41bb-834c-9d28b183778c’]so today it was added at the recommended 4 ml per gallon.

This product is not cheap but it really brings on noticeable results and buds love it. It contains an enzyme and PK booster and something that makes the buds really grow and swell beyond what any PK boost can do.

Green Planet Nutrients Switch Day 35

About 3 days ago I switched from New Millenium Nutrients to Green Planet. I was offered a sponsorship and thought they would be worth a try.

Plants were recovering from a leaf strip but seemed to have stalled out a bit too long so decided to try something new.

So far I have been impressed even though it’s only been a few days since the change. Buds seem larger and stacking better and trichome production seems better too. I realize it is early but at this point I think I may have found a better product.

Death Bubba And Friends Days 42 And 49

I have been continuing with the Green Planet 3 part and the rest of their line up. So far I am happy with them. Trichome production and stacking looks to be better than when I was running New Millenium nutrients. They are a good line and I grew some nice crops with them but the Green Planet seems to be working better for me.

Flushing Begins On Day 50

So when I watch my videos I often pick up things I missed when looking at the plants live and in person. So I happened to notice the leaves were really dark green. Although it is not a case of nitrogen toxicity it is too much for the end of flower.

So on day 50 I decided to start flushing. Although I have switched to Green Planet I still have some New Millenium additives like Winter Frost and I decided to use it as a preflush for a week. So plants were given a light flush to help get old nutes out and then Winter Frost was added. Plants have gone from 900 to 300 ppms for a week and then they will be getting just water until done.

Not There Yet?

You can still grow plenty of cannabis with a grow closet, grow tent or stealth grow box.

Ditch the dealer or dispensary and save your money.

Check Out My New Grow Closet Setup

A grow tent is a great way to set up a grow room where you can easily control your growing environment.
Plus if you move you can fold up your grow room and take it with you!
Whatever you spend setting up your grow will pay you back tenfold.
