Hey 420,
My new seed order just arrived! I can barely control myself as I slip into my depends, pop an anxiety med, and crack the UPS envelope. My fingers are trembling as I remove the absurd amount of bubble wrap protecting the two small psychedelic packages that lie within. “Who the hell designs this stuff?”, I wonder, as I unveil an Ethos White Wedding and Twenty20 Mendocino Bubba Whip…..drool spills from my slackened lips as the weight of indecision hits me straight in the face. “Which one of these am I going to run?” Both look stunning and while I have a soft spot for Ethos genetics, this Bubba Whip has my attention. Do I order the Dairy Queen Truffle Blizzard or the Peanut Buster Parfait? F*cK! A flop sweat breaks out and I’ve decided to drop from this work call to give this my utmost attention. My dog just scurried for cover, am I talking out loud again? Yes! “Which one would you pick?” I ask him. No response, the tight muzzled bastard. Then, a break through! I can’t decide and decide that’s ok. Lady luck will be my guide. Slick, clammy hands place each pack into a wide brimmed fishing hat and I give it a shake, too much apparently as the White Wedding flies from the hat into the sink. I regroup, mix, and draw.…out comes Bubba Whip! (but you know this already from the title of the journal). This is exhausting!
Seriously, while it was hard to decide, I am really, really jazzed about this Twenty20 Mendocino Bubba Whip, a mating of one of Twenty20’s primary lines, The Whip, with a Pre-Bubba98 Kush cut. Based on the literature, it sounds like she can be massive outdoors, but indoors slims down well with a mild(er) stretch. I’m really excited to see what she can do. Here are more details about this girl from Twenty20:
Grow Specs:
Grow Type: Indoor Soil
Grow Space: Spyder Farmer Grow Tent: 2.2'x2.2'x 5'2”
4” Inline fan and RC412 Australian carbon filter from Spyder Farmer
LED Vivosun VS1500
4” Vivosun Oscillating Fan
1G Capacity Humidifier
ThermoPro Agrometer
Fire Safety: SereneLife Flamebuster fireball anchored to a steel grate on the outside roof of the tent.
Containers, Soil, and Amendments:
Training Techniques
Peace and thanks for following along.

Based on the literature, it sounds like she can be massive outdoors, but indoors slims down well with a mild(er) stretch. I’m really excited to see what she can do. Here are more details about this girl from Twenty20:
- Type: Indica Hybrid (Feminized Photoperiod)
- Lineage: Pre-98 Bubba x The Whip!
- Filial Generation: F2
- PVI (Phenotypic Variation Index): Below Average
- Indoor Flower Time: 58-68 days
- Outdoor Harvest Date: Mid Oct
- Trellising Requirements: Minimal but flowers are huge and heavy and may need some support
- Height/Stretch: Below average indoors but outdoor plants get huge
- Yield (per sf): Above Average
- Color: Mostly dark green with purple expressions
- Nose: Light Bubba Kush smell, deep kush gas and extremely hashy with slight candy undertones
- Tips from the grower: Plants do great with LST. Moderate defoliation is recommended, especially with outdoor plants near harvest time. This is an excellent choice for indoor/outdoor gardens but because of the dense foliage outdoors, keep an eye out for mold. This is also an ideal selection for light deprivation greenhouses.
- Notes: She is large and stout. This was a standout winner from our 2021 outdoor garden phenohunt. Expect big stout plants with super resinous and sticky buds.

Containers, Soil, and Amendments:
- I plan to start miss Bubba in a 4” ceramic pot with a 33%/33%/33% mix of Fox Farm Happy Frog, Jiffy Starter Mix, and Perlite, plus a teaspoon of Great White Mycorrizae. I’ll transplant her to an 8” (about 1G) ceramic pot after 10-12 days and then to her final home, a 5-gallon fabric pot. I’ve already prepped the soil for the 4” ceramic and soaked it a couple of days ago with a PH’d (6.8) DI water/calmag (200ppm) solution.
- Nutrients
- I’ve been using a subset of the Fox Farm nutrient line since my first grow and have had good success, so plan to stick with their core 3 (Big Bloom, Grow Big, and Tiger Bloom). However, with the KISS principle in mind, I am going to remove the bloom boosters from the rotation (Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, Cha Ching). These powders are really strong and after some reading, I’m curious to see if I can get similar/better results without them. This change should also get me closer to that faded look I’ve been missing in late flower.
Training Techniques
- I’ll be doing Yoga 6x/week along with a bike routine and…..oh, sorry
- I am going to flux miss Bubba, long and hard! This used to be called “mainlining” and involves topping 3 different times to create 8 primary colas. If I get it right, the canopy will be perfectly even and the colas in focus with little to no popcorn bud, a grower’s dream.
Peace and thanks for following along.
