2nd Grow from Clones and THC Bomb seeds

[Jerry Garcia 2007]

I am going to do my best to point out what I feel led to the results of this grow. Some of this is extremely disputed, but all I can say is "Look for yourself and tell me I how could have done better and how did it harm the plants".

Lighting: 600 watts is a minimum, I have used 400 before and it is just not enough lummins, plus with a 600 you get 80% more lummins for 50% more electricity. I use a Growbright 600 watt HPS, and a 600 watt Agrow Max conversion MH bulb for veg. Set timer to 24/0 for veg. 13/11 for flower.

Grow box: 4'l x 4w x7'h made of 2'x3's and $12.00 a sheet 1/4'' - 4'x8' white board. Box is completely light sealed. This way every bit of light is absorbed by the plants, no light should be leaving the grow space and lighting the entire room. I also used 3 floresent 2 bulb T-12 shop lights with 3100k bulbs for side lighting on 3 sides for side lighting.

Watering and Nutes: Now this subject is where I feel some may disagree. First off I used Fox Farm nutes ONLY!!!! (except for Pro PH Down) I did not use anything else, no sweetners, no supertrive, no MOLLASES, ect. I know in my first grow I swore by mollases, but now I won't let that stuff near my plants. ( I found that shit killed my plants at 8 weeks, with me thinking they were ready my first grow). Next I follow the feeding schedule to the T and use only the lowest amount recommended. The only modification is to the length of each cycle. Meaning I veg and flower longer than the chart calls for and change formulas when I feel the plants are ready for the next step. (Ex. I flower for up to 12 weeks so I extend the final flowering formula 4 weeks.) Now this is the most important part how I water. You may have noticed almost all my pics are in the bath tub or bathroom. Reason being when I water it is a mini flush. ALTERNATING between Nute formula mix and plain water everyother watering!!!! I used 1/2 gallon of water per 2 gallon bucket in veg, and 1 gallon per 5 gallon bucket in flower and let the excess run out the bottom for a half hour. Then depending on time in the bucket that determined how often. When first transplanted it was as long as a week between waterings to 3 to 4 days at the end of flowering. The plant will tell you when they need water. When everything is fine the top leaves are reaching for the light, when water is needed they start to lower down to the horizontal position.

Damn I Just smoked a joint of PP and can't keep a thought, so I will continue later on.

Well I am going to take a little time to say Thanks to Spongbob, BeFree, dgsgandaf, Deaner, and Plant Headfor your intrest and compliments.

I am going to compleat my key points this evening and final stats should be tomarrow on THCB 1 & 2, #3 will be this weekend she is taking longer due to size.

nice harvest, you must be a happy farmer :jointsmile:

[dute12]

I see in some of your threads and your aviatar you have foxfarm products such as chiching beastie bloomz ect.

Did you use any of these supplemental nutes throughout this grow in conjuction with the other foxfarm nutes.

Sorry if this question was already asked and answered.

What happened to completing your key points? Inquiring minds want to know. Awesome job by the way...was the strain you grew known to be a super heavy yielder or do you just have a super green thumb?

Well I did the harvesting last weekend so I have been either to busy with things being shuffled around or just to much of enjoying my bounty to do this post. So sorry everyone about the wait but here are the final stats and pics of THCB #1

THCB #1 this plant was the smallest of the three and has one of the best smells. She has been curing for 5 days now and has a strong sweet strawberry smell, which transfers well to the smoke.

The buzz is fast and hard hitting couch lock buzz, but functionable, more like a muscle relaxing buzz is the best description.

Total Yeild: 77g, or 2.75ozs.

Buds came out as nice tight and heavy with a nice coating of crystals, with really dark red almost brown hairs.

[Jerry Garcia 2007]

She is the second largest of the three and is close to the same as #1 but just a much bigger yeilder, ( I feel this is due to age, THCB 1 is a full 10 or more days younger from sprouting due to a dog incident at the start of the grow).

Like I said the desciption of this plant is very close to #1 but the smell is not as strong of the strawberry, overall not a pungent as #1, but the buzz is the same.

Total Yeild: 111g or 3.95 ozs.

Sorry pics somehow got lost durring final posting.

Dute12, Yes I use all 3 suppliments when called for on the chart. I feel this is the most important part of feeding in the flower cycle.

Chrisdl805, Yes THCB is bred to be a large yeilder, from the "Advertising" I have read is it is a cross of Big Bud and Pure Power Plant, and produces very large buds that are stronger than both. In my opinion this is true.
