Mephisto Genetics Hubbabubbabear (Cannabear X Hubbabubbahaze) freebie grow

[gargyoyle]

100 days coming up. Been a long road and it should be longer. She really needs another week but i have to either pull this weekend or in 2.5 weeks which i think will just be too long (thoughts?). Better too early than too late?... i don't want to be stuck to the sofa. And we should call it sofa lock btw...

@stan_mephisto she's colouring nicely and getting a little misty on the trich. Can't tell you how pleased i am. I have 2 pink panamas on the go as well- will post some pics below. They are a bit raggedy ann but that's just me... still learning and trying.

Lot of fox tailing. Shots of the pink light are just because i LOVE my pink light. 150 watts of HLG goodness.

I just realised i have been sober the same amount of time it took this Hubbabear to grow. Whole other story... Anyways

So- she's gonna get a haircut on day 100... and pop pickers that leads me seamlessly into todays slice of cheese.

ide let those go maybe 2 more weeks myself but I like "sofa" lock. Lots of new growth still.. Looks pretty cool btw!

Chopped yesterday. Sort of day 100 due to the original pause she chose to take. Into the upside down she goes.

What i learned-
I need to up my seed popping generally and this is going to be a priority. Keep it simple.
Environment changes with the plants- having lots at different stages makes it tricky. Rh crept up towards the end due to volume of plants i think. I took my eye off the ball.
Look after you equipment- a check on the ph pen would have saved some lock out. Had to buy a new one.
Molasses is your friend. less frequent fertigation would have been beneficial i think. Listen to the plant not the nutes schedule.
HLG lights rock but a light meter is really useful when learning to approximate your ppfd and try and avoid too much light. They are strong!
Good genetics get you through. Thanks @stan_mephisto for teaching your plants to overcome idiots.
Hubbabubbabear took training nicely and had an open structure. With LST she was around 40cm tall and not too bushy so good light penetration. Smell is gorgeously sweet, every shade of sugar. Buds were dense. Frosting was good especially bearing in mind the initial stunt and nute lock out. So would probably be better in experienced hands. She could have run another week or more but i had a time pressure to chop so she was minimally amber.
Thanks for the support especially @WildBill

Little update. A week of drying and started the trim on some dryer bits. Conditions been ok- rh a bit low but temps good so it dried a bit faster than i hoped.

The fruitiness has subsided with the dry and now its a fruity undertone with a biscuity gingery slightly gassy smell. Bodes well for a nice cure i think. Had a sneaky vape of a little. Wow. So nice. Not harsh at all. High is just as i had hoped- not the strongest but very uplifting, euphoric (High Maintenance became the best television i have EVER seen) which you would expect from the hazey heritage. Never overwhelming, clear headed. Only drawback was a very dry mouth- guessing that might change with cure?

Please forgive the trim- this all stays with me and 99% goes into edibles/tinctures so its nose to tail for me- waste not want not.

Looks tasty.
Interested in what you think of the high!

It was really nice from the uncured bit i tried. I am going to update in a week or two when it has had a chance. I slightly over dried it so letting it get itself back to norm

@stan_mephisto consumption reports to follow as the cure is going good. Thought you would be interested in yield- 180g dried all in (i am nose to tail as most of it will go into tincture). Pleased with that total.
Have given a few bits away for friends to test- they will give some tasting notes.
Bag Appeal- a fair few nice dense buds. Lovely colours. Bit of stickiness, lots of trichs, shiny.
She's drying with a nice biscuity smell and very sweet. Not citrusy, not really 'weedy'
Can't wait to taste her cured and see how the effects are. Have a few friends lined up who like to use tincture for insomnia and hoping that the cbd will mean they can up the normal dose a bit. Let's see...

Vape report- I don't really smoke but got a Storz and Bickel Crafty+ to try some of the fruits. Hubbabubbabear is a lovely hit- clean and heady. Really happy and euphoric. This will be a very nice day time smoke i think. It shows its Hubbabubbahaze roots -- happy and creative.Wish i could do a bit of a side by side to see how the two differ with the CBD.

This is definitely not weak weed! Goodness knows what the percentages of cbd and thc are but this was a nice hard hit.

Gave some to a friend who smokes who said it tasted great- more skunky than sweet but that might be my dry and cure not being the best. Very buzzy high.

Excited to tincture this and see what it does. I have high hopes.
