Okay, so I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about the Bubba Ganush strain, and I finally decided to give it a try myself. I’m documenting the whole thing, from start to finish, ’cause why not? Maybe someone will find this useful, or at least entertaining.
Getting Started
First things first, I needed to get my hands on some seeds. That took a bit of searching around, but I eventually found a reputable source. Nothing shady, I promise! Once those babies arrived, it was go-time.
The Grow Setup
I’m not running a massive operation here, just a small indoor setup. I’ve got a grow tent, some decent LED lights, and a basic ventilation system to keep things fresh. I went with soil for my medium because, well, I like to keep things simple. I prepared the soil, mixing in some nutrients, and got my pots ready.
- Germination: I used the paper towel method, because it’s always worked for me. Placed the seeds between damp paper towels, put them in a plastic bag, and kept them in a warm, dark place.
- Sprouting: After a couple of days, those little guys started to show their taproots. That’s when I carefully planted them in small starter pots.
The Waiting Game (Vegetative Stage)
This is where patience is key. I watered them regularly, making sure the soil was moist but not soaking wet. I kept the lights on for about 18 hours a day and watched them grow. Slowly but surely, they started to develop leaves, and I knew I was on the right track.
There are some basic thing must to be check:
- Making sure the plants were getting enough light, but not too much.
- Adjusting the ventilation to keep the temperature and humidity in check.
- Monitoring the soil pH, because that’s apparently important.
Showtime (Flowering Stage)
After a few weeks, I switched the light cycle to 12 hours on, 12 hours off, to trigger the flowering stage. This is where the magic happens. I continued to feed them nutrients, but switched to a formula designed for flowering. I also started to notice a distinct, earthy aroma. Nice.
The Finish Line
This whole process took a few months. It felt like forever, but seeing those buds develop was super rewarding. I kept a close eye on the trichomes (those tiny, sticky crystals) to determine the perfect time to harvest. Once they were mostly cloudy with a bit of amber, I knew it was time.
Finally, The last Step is:
- Harvest: I carefully cut down the plants and hung them upside down to dry in a dark, well-ventilated room.
- Curing: After about a week of drying, I trimmed the buds and placed them in airtight jars to cure. This process helps to improve the flavor and smoothness.
And that’s it! My Bubba Ganush growing adventure, from seed to, well, you know. It was a learning experience, for sure, but totally worth * is the time for enjoy the fruit.
