Growing Information
Although Colorado Bubba is super-popular among growers, it is not an easy strain to cultivate. Colorado Bubba marijuana plants will thrive indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the ability to completely control the climate. Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Colorado Bubba strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days. Yields: While Indoor yields are around 350 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 400 grams per plant. These plants grow medium height and can reach around 3-6 feet tall. Because the plants reach a maximum indoor and outdoor height of 6 feet, you may have to clip and trim the tops of the plants so they do not overgrow. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 65-80 degrees Fahrenheit and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 40-50% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage. Topping, pruning, and defoliation methods are the best methods for this strain. These methods will help adjust the canopy so that more light and air reach the bottom buds.
