Hubba Hubba! Bubba Hash & The Bright Lights Of Redemption: Amy's Indoor v2.0 With DBHBB

[Amy Gardner]

Is that the 'earthy scent' I've heard so much about?

Hehe - i dont know. Sometimes I’ll use ‘earthy’ to describe aromas that turn out to include elements of coffee or mushroomi-ness or something. But this really is more like dirt than earthiness... I was actually thinking ‘earthiness?’ as I smelled it but the thought was quickly replaced by ‘no, that’s just dirt. It smells like dirt’ So maybe I’m answering ‘no’ to your question.

Update: Phenomena ​

Last night as I was closing up the tent, this caught my eye on the d#3 Purple...

Oooooze!
​

I carefully lifted it off with my little fingernail, it was gooey and sticky and tasted really sweet! 5 minutes later it was starting to put out some more...

​

I know this phenomena has a name, but I can’t think of it right now. I’m sure someone else will remember it, one of the Brix crew perhaps - it happens in DBHBB grows quite a bit it seems.

Have an oooozy day everyone!

Guttation

 

[Amy Gardner]

Thank you Gray! I knew it was an ‘ation’ of some kind! ... cue Agemon ...

 

[kelticBlue]

I any case, I am looking forward to making dry sift with some of this Bubba

that is a splendid idea.


Hey guess what I got going on just about a week ago.?

So guttation, cool name, gonna go read about it, Thx

Gorgeous keltic! I’ve tasted the guttation produced by Eucalyptus trees here and this from the DDA was very similar.

I found this kinda interesting paper on it at the CSIRO (abstract below). I’ve only read the abstract which is pretty dense, and mostly beyond me in its detail, but it says something about inducing guttation under pneumatic pressure which makes me wonder if there is something like that happening as part of pressing dabs/rosin. Just speculating ...

Abstract
Guttation is a process of natural secretion of fluid from leaves via specialised structures called ‘hydathodes’, which are located at the tips, margins, and adaxial and abaxial surfaces of leaves. Hydathodes form natural openings but, unlike stomata, are open permanently and offer little resistance to the flow of fluid out of leaves. Each hydathode is formed of colourless cells, and appears as stomata-like pores in the epidermis or epithem, also known as ‘transfer tissue’. The cells of epithem are soft and made of loosely arranged thin-walled parenchyma cells and without chloroplast, and are involved in absorption and secretion. Internally, they are connected by tracheary endings to a large chamber with masses of thin-walled parenchymatous tissue surrounded by a sheath layer. Ultrastructurally, the epithem cells have a dense cytoplasm, numerous mitochondria, an extensive endoplasmic reticulum system, many small Golgi-derived vesicles, numerous peroxisomes, and are interconnected by abundant plasmodesmata. Functionally, there are two types of hydathodes, namely, epidermal ones that actively exude fluid, and epithemal hydathodes that passively exude fluid. Natural guttation is often observed during early morning or late hours of the day. However, it can also be induced as desired in intact or excised plants under pneumatic pressure. Earlier notions regarding harmful effects on plants of guttation have now been addressed by botanical and physiological research discoveries regarding the basic and practical utility of guttation. This knowledge could lead to new health care applications on the one hand and ease global food-security concerns on the other.

...I see a photo of the month!... ...beautiful shots...cheerz......h00k......

[kelticBlue]

I tasted mine today, a quick bit of sweet followed by sour earthy.

I see you already have a PhoTM this month. After this months beauty, you might have to hold on for 3 months with that one ; - ) ......another beauty!
Mine is not that good but i am gonna drop it in.

 

[Amy Gardner]

I had another taste last night... and just syrupy sweet Yes, it was doing it again - in the same spot! Must have an open pathway now or something.

I took some more photos but haven’t gone though them yet so we’ll see if any of them surpass the first lot. And speaking of which...

and upcoming PhOTM entry.

Thank you my dear friends I am thankful I dragged out the camera then! Is there one of those in particular that made you say that... ?

 

[InTheShed]

The best one obv!

[Okay fine, the close up where you can see the light is the winner.]

 

[Amy Gardner]

okay then!

 

[InTheShed]

Went back and edited, but it's this one:

 

[Amy Gardner]

And like Keltic said, I have an entry in already this month ... so next time - if there’s not another more worthy before then.

Mine is not that good but i am gonna drop it in.

And to you too!

 

[kelticBlue]

where you can see the light

this....Seeing the lights in the reflection is wicked.

 

[Amy Gardner]

OK cool - the lights are in all of them but only obvious in the closeup. I tried some different angles when it happened again last night to see if I could get any visible trichs inside it. Sort of worked but it loses some of the lighting effects and the second ‘event’ isn’t as perfect...

Update: State of the garden ​

Things in general are rolling along really well. It’s about 3 weeks since flip for the photoperiods so I should be giving recharge to the 7gal HBB plants. I think they’re about due for a drench so I’ll aim to recharge tonight at lights-on.

They also desperately need a post-stretch tidy-up. That’s assuming stretch is over, which I’m fairly sure it should be, at 3 weeks. Experienced indoor growers pls confirm, or deny

This what currently greets me when I open the tent...

The autos are ripening really well. I know folks mostly say that we should add time to breeders’ predictions for finish, but Dope Seeds put these at 70 days and I think they’re looking right on target.

Auto Amnesia (on the left in the pic above) is at day 66 with almost 100% dried pistil hairs and is starting to look generally ‘ripe’ as they recede, but the trichs are not quite cloudy everywhere as yet.

Top cola:

​

Lower, secondary cola:

And a couple of closer looks:

I will let this one go for a little while past the breeder deadline as it doesn’t quite look 4 days away from ready, and it’s a Haze so I don’t want to take it early, but it’s not too far off.

The Auto Blueberry is at 65 days and looking very much closer. The pistils hairs were all still white until a couple of days ago and they’ve turned really fast in the last 48hrs. To my eye about 95% of the trichs are almost completely cloudy or more than half cloudy and in one or 2 places I see faint ambering starting to happen.

Main cola:

​

It’s very likely I’ll harvest this one pretty soon. It could easily go longer but I’m not too fussed because I really want the space in the tent! I’m very keen to be giving the larger photoperiod plants some room to spread out and I think it’s looking close enough that not long after the 70 day mark will be ready.

I’m going to harvest the purple DDA d#3 on Monday next week at the latest so perhaps I’ll do them both together, that would make washing a single budsicle seem less wasteful of water and energy

Speaking of the d#3 purple, that’s the one with the guttation going on. There was more last night and I played with getting some different angles but the way the light was lighting up the drop just isn’t as good and the drop itself isn’t as good. Kinda got some trichs in there alongside the light-rig reflection and it’s a nice shot so I’ll share one here, but the first ones are still the best.

It will be a slightly early harvest for that one. I wouldnt do it if it was the only DDA, but I have all those other budsicles and the green/pink pheno to come down in a few weeks or so, so I can certainly have some fun with this one in the meantime

You couldn’t really see the big brix kids in the tent shot above, so here they are squished in behind the autos, Bubba on the left:

​

So you can see why I don’t care about harvesting the Blueberry a little early - these kids need space!

I’m really stoked with how they’re coming along. They’re at 3 weeks post-flip.

Candida CD-1: I remember thinking the Candida I grew outside last summer was the frostiest, stickiest plant I have ever grown and this one is shaping up just to be the same. The whorled phylotaxy effect hasn’t stopped it flowering normally (phewf!) and it’s absolutely stacking on the frost already.

Bubba Hash isn’t frosting up as much as that but it has plenty going on and it looks just totally gorgeous to me. I hope I like the toke, because I feel love when I look at this plant!

​

I’ll get some whole-plant shots of them when I’m able to get them out for a recharge and to open them up a bit etc., which actually might not happen until next week after I harvest, because my body is too whacked to move those pots ATM. Although, I’ll have to recharge them before that. I think I will have to do that sooner, tonight like originally planned, and in situ then... that could be tricky. I’m sure I’ll work something out... I wonder if 4-5 more days will matter so much.


That is the current state of the garden and I couldn’t be happier!

Sending many good vibes to all, across the seas in all directions.

Loving your garden, Amy. Looks beautiful in there. Those Brix babies gonna be enormous.
