2nd Grow from Clones and THC Bomb seeds

[PlantHeadJ]

Nice job!! I am considering the PP. If you were to grow one variety only which would it be overall...taste,effect,yeild?

[Jerry Garcia 2007]

Planthead I would go with the purple power. Nice buzz, good taste, and great colors.

Thank you for getting back to us with the update we thought you were never going to get back with the final report about the THC Bomb.

Well I am sorry for the wait but here are the other Key Points.

Pruning: Well this is probably the most controvercial of all the things that I do. I am not afraid to cut my plants to get them to do what I need. During the Veg stage and LST I will prune any leaf that is blocking direct light to a new branch shoot. I feel this even encourages the plant shoots to grow quicker to make up for the lost leaf. Then during the 4th to 5th week of the flower cycle I will remove almost all the fan leaves except for the top 6 on all the main cola branches. I do this when the new buds are big enough and producing there own leaves. This is to get direct light to the lower buds and make them grow larger. My feeling on what happens is the bud leaves take over the photosynthasis and forces them to just explode in size, I have been doing this for years and have done both pruing and no pruning, and the differance at harvest is very noticable in the bud size. The other plus to this is it makes harvest much easier, since you do not need to remove all the fan leaves then and seeing the trich's is very easy also.

Flowering and veg times: Mine are almost 50% longer than most. My veg from seed can take 6 to 8 weeks, from cloans is when they fill 80% of the grow space. Then flower is by tric's, the first sign of Amber. On most of my plants this happened no earlier than 10 weeks of flowering light and no longer than 12 weeks. NEVER GO BY THE PISTOLS. I have noticed that the plants will go thru a minimum of 3 flower bursts to try and reproduce. What I mean is at around 8 weeks the pistols will turn mostly red then at about week 9 another round of new pistiols will emerge due the plant was never fertilized and needs to try and reproduce again, so it will try again and again untill the plant gives up at around week 12 and begins to shut down. This way you get the maximum growth out of the plant and will increase your yeild significantly and is probably the most important thing that led to the mind blowing yeilds that I got. (nutes had a major play in that also).

Well that is about all that I can think of at this time. So feel free to ask any questions you may have and i will do my best to answer them

Hey man, I'm starting a garden within the next few weeks and I'm really impressed with your grows. How much of the nutes do you give when you first start to veg?

[Jerry Garcia 2007]

Porch24,

I wait 2 weeks from sprouting. Reason being the roots are to sensitive at such a young age plus there are enough nutes in the soil in the beginning.

[jessejames12345]

so you have a 13/ 11 flowering light cycle ? I see the results speak for themselves
Best grow Ive seen :jointsmile:

[Jerry Garcia 2007]

Finally I am getting down to doing this. She was the biggest looking of all the plants but yeild wise she came in 2nd place at 127g or 4.5 ozs. just as I suspected she dried out to very light and fluffy buds that have a nice fruity smell. The main cola's are still the biggest that I have only dreamed of untill now. The biggest came in at just under a half ounce, all put together it came in at 2.5 ozs. of cola bud.

The smoke is slightly sweet with a touch of say a mango taste. Buzz wise she hits you hard and fast that leaves active but with a major case of CRS ( Can't Remember Shit )

All and all I give her around an 8.5 out of 10.

[Jerry Garcia 2007]

Well here are the total weights by plant and rating out of 10.

White Widow #6, 99grams, 9.0 rating
Mystery Widow, 104 grams, 9.5 rating
Mystery #3, 96 grams, 7.0 rating.
Purple Power #8, 101 grams, 10.0 rating.
White Widow #4, 126 grams, 10.0 rating
White Widow #9, 138 grams, 9.0 rating
THCB #1, 77 grams. 9.5 rating.
THCB #2, 111 grams, 9.5 rating.
THCB #3, 127 grams, 9.0 rating.

Total Weight this grow (drum roll please) 979 grams or 1 gram under 35 onces or 2 Lbs. 3 ozs.

I did it over 2 lbs under 1-600watt Hps.

Now the total of the experimental grow I had going on the side. Now get this 254 grams or 9 ounces.

So the combined weight of both grows is 2.75 Lbs. of prime bud. I have never had so much bud of this quality before, and think I invested less than $1,000.00 in this entire operation.

The sad thing is, this is the end of this grow log and I can't wait untill the fall so I can challenge this total again. Which maybe some of the same and maybe somethng different. Only the bug on my shoulder knows.

Best Wishes to all and Thanks everyone for your support.

Plus, Best of Luck to all that are using this log as a guide to growing massive amounts of Ganja.

Jerry Garcia.
