Seed to Weed - Grow Journal of the THC Bomb

Discussion in 'Indoor Grow Journals' started by Kaos6669a, Sep 30, 2007.

  1. Ok this community really dont seem to be liking to comment on your magnificent effort! Congratulations. :hello:
    I will pull up a chair to watch mate! Any questions just ask!

     
  2. Flush 1 week before harvest! That always seems to be sufficient. Ive grown Thc Bomb before and i would fully recommend water curing at least half of your crop i did it and JESUS! The smoke blew my head off. Two spots and I was gone. (spots mean hot knifes.) We created Spots!! Yeah go New Zealand! Hahaha:D
     
  3. Thanks for the reply, so i take it the nute burn will be ok as long as it doesnt spread, and i can give it at least 1 more feed after 1 week leaving just over a week to fluch the nutes out for harvest.

    You say you grew THC Bomb, cool. How long did you leaveit in flowering (8weeks or 10)

    Heres some photo's of it today, you can just make out the burn on a couple of the photos :(.

  4. Sorry, should have added a little more detail :rolleyes:.

    She is now on her 5/6th week of flowering.
    The main Cola is about 18 inch and covered in bud :eek:.
    There are as i can see 4 large cola's and 11 other smaller branches with bud in it.
    She's Growing in a 5lt Super Pot.

    I have a rough date of November the 10th to pull it which will be 8 weeks on the dot.
    Unless it need more time, i think it will as the buds are still rock hard.

    How did yours finnish? i.e. Light, Hard... Also what was your yield like from 1 cola, cheers for the reply, dunno why everyone's so quiet :confused: been like it since the start..
     
  5. Just start flushing 1 week before harvest.
    Mine finished absolutely suburb at 9 weeks and 2 days i waited till the colours of the tricomes were 10 - 90 cloudy to amber. Rock hard and absolutely covered in snow i water cured half and it was awesome as i probably already exclaimed. I got 25 ounces of 3 plants ill see if the pictures are floating round. I just upgraded to another laptop so nothing is on this.:D

     
  6. 25oz off 3 plants = WOW :eek:.

    I know the strain is something like PPP & Big Bud Genetics but thats allot...

    May just be me being a complete spaz but whats "Water cured" you mentioned it and i've not heard of it (or have other terminology for it)

    What was the high like from it? i hope it kicks the shit out of me :D
    (I'm a cross between excited and anxious... my first smokable crop)

    Nice one for the advice.
     
  7. Theres an article in Advanced growing techniquies about warter curing and I plan on Using it on some of my buds. here ill find it for you real quick. Alternative Cure Methods-Warter Curing
    Ill be watching this one cant wait to see how much you yeild
     
  8. Cheers for the link - had a look, sounds easy enough. 7 days in water (fresh water everyday with something heavy to weight it down.

    After the 7 days, leave it to dry and winner... top shit completely nute free.

    I presume then, water curing allows you to feed right up to the harvest...

    Whats the main Benifit from Water curing though, i mean... does air curing lose THC? if it does then i can def see why its done, but otherwise changing water daily is one more thing to think about, which is not so good.

    Lol... My Short term memory is proper fucked, dunno why :smoke:

    I will post Bud Size, Wet Weight and Dry Weight when its done, also a little report on the effect of this strain.

    i Read somewhere its in the 20-25% THC Bracket, and is some serious shit - Prob propaganda tho, the usual advertising scam shit to make you buy it... having said that russell300 says its the shit sooo!!! :rolleyes:

    Watch this space.
     
  9. Ok, haha that made me laugh!:D


    Ok heres the scoop,
    Water curing.

    With your host, Local grower and self-proclaimed pothead RUSSELL.*CLAPPING*

    Hey guys today we will look at a process of water curing and the benefits it has. First of all what is water curing?
    Over to our crop reporter MightyBudda.
    "You there Mighty Budda?"
    "..#..?!..................."
    "We seem to having technical difficulty's we will go back to him in a moment.........wait?............yus we got it! Over to you now MightyBudda."

    DUH DUH DUH DAH!

    Thanks for that MightyBudda. As we can see Water curing the marijuana can make your smoke smoother so if you find your chilled, ice filled chamber bong is still not really cutting the mustard with your throat you know what to do!
    If you do like your flavours thou this may not be your deal.
    Back to MightyBudda for a update on the METHOD and DO's AND DON'Ts of WATER CURING.
    "Over to you MightyBudda........................oi pass me those bong...........................ahhhhhhhhhhh thats the ticket!"
    "Fuck camera is still rolling!"

    Welcome back.
    Yeah welcome back. If you just tuned in I am Russell and I'm showing everyone out there about water curing.
    Now we are going back again to our crop corresponder MightyBudda for maybe for me the best positive aspect I get from a WATER CURE.
    Potency!

    Well thanks for tuning it today for this episode of Dope Grower televison and all the infomation MightyBudda had to add.

    Russell out.
     
  10. So... what about a UPDATE man? It's been a while now!:smoke:
     
  11. So right you are.

    The nute burn was a problem but after a flush and minor balancing of the ferts she's almost stable enough for the last few days.
    The Trycs are nice and cloudy and i had the priv of sampling it yesterday :smoking:

    Its a shame really as litterally i have just received my Ballast for my HPS.

    WOW

    How much light difference is there between HPS and Floro, jesus, i got light leaks everywhere but fuck it it got this far :cool:.

    Gonna have to re think the cooling solution as the temps hit the roof at 96F but should be ok as i have a fan on 24hrs

    Anyway i have nearly 80% amber hairs and just waiting for the trycs to just ambery ;).

    Ignoring the nute burn not a bad effort for my first i have a Orange bud clone from my mother ready and in the cab from yesterday - she's a little stretched but the HPS is in now and i cant wait.

    I'm rabbiting on - Here some bud porn...

    (Also included a Pure Super Blunt from last night - Was wrecked...)

  12. Having just had a look at the shots from two weeks ago and compared it for todays shots i gotta say thats amazing, i mean you watch it everyday but your picture keeps changing as it goes along, having looked at what it was and what it is... i'm outta words :D

    But then again i'm wrecked right now picked up some seriously smelly Blueberry which is lurvely and gets you so high! :smoking:
     
  13. Did you try water curing man?
    :D
     
  14. besides your plants, that super blunt looks beautiful
     
  15. Nice photos, but I'd love to see one from a few feet back. How many lights are you using now, 2x 200W for 2 plants?? Sorry if its already been mentioned. Anyway awesome work! :)
     
  16. That has been so far (i.e. upto yesterday) being grown under 1x200watt Envirolite.

    I had to have the light about 2-3 inch from the top of the plant.
    There not bad but i hated fuckin about with the light every 2 mins so Now i'm using a 400w HPS

    I'll take a shot later (only just got up)

    That blunt was Ace :D, cant wait to have another with a little home grow ;).

    I havent tried Water Curing yet but plan to when the plants ready, the sample i had off it was sweet though and after 2 joints you were on your way that was a week ago so i reccon i't may be different again, when it gets cut i'm gonna water cure the lot i think, it seems easier.

    This HPS is crazy i have never seen anything like it... You open the cab up to do a little maintainance and after you close it the world turns crazy blue, need some sun glasses lol :cool:

    Anyway, i dont have a good microscope or mag: glass any other ways you can tell when a plants ready or is following the trycs the best way?
    :smoke:
     


  17. Wow!! just one
     
  18. Yeah i thought so to, having said that here's a picci from this morning, this plant has only so far has 1x26w CFL, but is LST'd to fuck, there is a little stretching but not too much, and i'm not that arsed as its my mother, i also included some other shots of my first clone attempt which is going well, and should do great now i'm on HPS.

    As requested so shots from a few meters back, its a Single Wardrobe Stealth Grow, you can see the hosing down the side of the cab, and if you see previous posts you'll get the gist :D

    Anyway, coming along nice for my first and she's 8 weeks tomorrow yay
    birthday grats all around.

    This plant smells soooo nice and if it has anything to go by the finnished product will be awesome.

    On with the pics...

  19. Sorry should have said (not that its not obvious lol) but the LST'd Mother is the third picture down, and the clone is behind it.

    :smoke:
     
  20. Thought i'd create a Diagram of the Cabinet (Bored as hell)

    If you look at the above picture you'll know what half the shit is, theres a few additions which was an Air Ioniser and a Top exhaust outlet for HPS cooling :D

    Was worried yesterday as the temps were high so adding another exhaust fan to the top of the cab took off about 13 Degrees from 96 to 83F which is what i want ;)
