I'm pretty disappointed with the HSO strains. Their biggest problem - unstable genetics. If you buy 3 seeds of 1 strain, you will get 3 completely different plants, which have nothing in common with each other.
So, My Bubba's Gift experience.
Only 2 seeds popped up from 3. The plants are slowly growing, at the beginning - typical indica with huge leaves. After 2-3 weeks plants tend to stretch a bit, and the leaves become more sativa-looking.
The flowering period is very short, maximum 60 days. I had 2 plants, and both of them differed much from each other. One is stretched, with small buds and very fragile - all the way it was covered with stains, slowly growing, sick. Another plant was much more vigorous, compact, strong. At the end both of the plants became a bit black and purple, which made them very beautiful. The buds are average, covered with "ice".
The first plant, "sick" one, was not productive - only 15-!!! gr of cured buds.
Second plant, compact one, showed much better productivity - 30 gr of cured buds.
Aroma: the smell of buds is very strong and pleasant. Something in between fuel and fruits.
Effect: I expected some killing indica, but I was wrong. The weed is not so strong, but rather psychedellic, very positive and "smiling". It's long lasting. Overall impression - very good, but not extraordinary.
Overall impression: 4 from 10.
The crop is very small, the plants are not potent, the weed itself is not remarkable.
Bubba's Gift is not worth growing!!!
