my Bubba kush will not bloom

[Iceberg420]

Hey everyone, I have a massive bubba kush bush that sprouted on sep 18th... flipped the lights to 12/12 and bloom nutes on oct 18th and it has been 10 days and i still dont have any sign of pistils... it has about 50 flower sites due to fimming and lsting it alot.... oh and i just transplanted it from a 5 gal bucket to a 10 gal on the 7th day of flower, plant is still growing vertically and horizontally and side branching is it still vegging???

it's only been 10 days! relax. it could take 10-14 to show sex, or perhaps longer. there is not a set standard and all strains are different. not to mention you have transplanted 3 days ago. so the plant went from veg, to bloom (so it started trying to kick into flower hormone making mode) and then got transplanted and had to deal with that. if you only vegged for a month the 5 gallon was probably a good final home anyhow.

plants when put into bloom, go through the 40/60 phenomena. they stretch the first 40% of the time in flower and they fatten up the last 60%.

Thanks shake i just needed some reassurance :) if i stunted it (dont think i did) will that mean it'll take longer for it to be done?? it went from 12" to 21" this week and it just scared the s*** outta me cause where its at i can only let it grow to like 35" and it'll touch my UFO but it doesnt burn it at all i guess i'm just gonna have to afro-engineer somethin like supercrop?

[headshake]

you can supercrop. i don't think you stunted it necissarily, but it still experienced some stress when it was transplanted. keep in mind for the future, that a plant will double, possilby triple in size when you flip to bloom.

This is the first time i've ever grown with morethan 1gal of soil so this grow blew my brains out i've been amazed with it... i'll post pics soon as it shows signs of sex:thumbsup:

Bubba has a relatively long flowering cycle I've been growing this strain exclusively for 9 months and the begining of the flower cycle is deff slow. Give her about 70-75 days to really fattening up and to compensate for the slow start.

Thanks I've been looking for people who know this strain I'm pretty worried it's been like 2 weeks since the flip and no pistils... i do see little white dots that look like zits where the pistils should come from so idk... I was figuring I'd have to do an extra 2 weeks flowering anyways cause of how slow flowering is going :/

Ive got a couple of helpfull other hints for u as.well. bubba can be over fed and it loves it I run a 200 gallon rez and I always put a extra few hundred ml to give the girls.what they want. Your feeding calls for say 500 ml. I would add 750 Instead.the most important thing about bubba is that it is extremely suseptible to powdery mildew and mold.I run a sulfer burner for 2 hours a day just As a preventative.good luck.

Yeah I noticed my bubba is a hungry one i feed it 3/4 strength bloom nutes everytime i water it... I am not in a hydro tank i'm growing in decent organic soil... I have tried hydro and I'd try it again in the future but I just cant get access to everything yet I tried hydro without buying all the necessities and learned the hard way you cant half ass anything (such as using nutrients that arent for hydroponics)

well this morning got about 60 pollen sacks... what a fast immediate bloom, this sucks... cut off the bottom half of it and shoved it in a 1 gal container... gonna let it grow so i can get pollen... im gonna grow out some bagseeds now and then cross it with the bubba cause i need seeds :cool:

Idk if anyone wants to see pics of it i took some but nobody wants to see my faggot bubba kush :(

p.s. at least i get to smoke the sparkly leaves :)

Alright well the last few days I've been torturing my bubba... i repotted it into a 5 gal bucket with so soil in it besides what was on the root ball and about a cup of my organic mix and then i've been overfeeding it double what i normally feed it and i've taken off the bottom half of the plant's branches so it looks like a tree... I then started knocking off the pollen sacks and lately... 2 small white hairs have made their presence known on 2 branches... In total there's about 16 hairs now so i know i'm not still high off that space cake from last night :rasta:

(The branches the hairs came from were the ones where i knocked off the nuts possibly lol)

I'm probably just gonna keep neutering it and see how many hairs i can manage to get from it... unless anyone objects?
