      I love thc bomb. Always a great grow and very affordable. Hash bomb was good also, very fast finisher with great resin production. Right now I've got 3 thc bomb phenos about ready to chop this weekend and my main breeding male is the indica pheno. Great choice on the beans.

            Did you get any nice purples like in some of the photos of THC Bomb online? I'd like a nice bit of purple but I've got some LSD 25 to run later in the year after some Kings Kush CBD to try get some nice purple bud

            no purples it was outside in the garden ,I'm pretty sure if you can get a 20 degree swing in your night time temp ranges you will get purple

            hello oldjarhead100 that's just the cardboard box the light globe comes in. I hide the thermometer in there when there's not much plant foliage so it gives an ambient temp reading, not affected by the radiant heat of the light

          Ok, well I've got a day off today and it's pouring with rain so I can't get out and do anything in the garden so I'll look at the indoor garden instead and try and fill in what's been happening so far in the grow.

          SET UP & WK1

          I set up the tent on March 4th, gave it a wipe over with bleach (I did the same at the end of last grow but I like a clean environment) and soaked 5 seeds (15 months old and just kept in a bag in a box in the cupboard) in water for 6 hours. After 6 hours 3 had sunk to the bottom so I planted them in jiffys and put them in a dome under a fluro light. It was too warm, even at night for a heat mat so I just used the ambient heat and the heat from the light sitting right on top of the dome to keep them warm and temps in the dome stayed pretty stable at 22-25C.

          I was giving each jiffy 2ml of water once a day. After 2.5 days the first seedling emerged. Another one at 3 days and a third at 3.5 days. After a week two still hadn't emerged so they were thrown away.

          on March 8 I rehydrated my Nutrifield Coco brick with 25L of pH 6 water plus 5ml/Gal of CALiMAGic. I then transplanted my seedlings into 3.5gal pots and watered them in with 1L each of 50% strength Week 1 seedling mix.

          Two days later they each got 2L of 50% strength week 1 seedling mix, two days later 2L each of 60% strength Week 1 seedling mix & then another two days after that got 2L each of 70% strength Week 1 seedling mix.

            When watering in the seedlings I also added a spoon of Great White to the mix.
            With the last Week 1 feed they also got 10ml of Terpinator (I forgot I had some in the cupboard that I scored for free at an expo last year)

          WK 2

          Day 8 2.5L each of 50% Strength Week 2 Early Growth Mix
          Day 9 2.5L each of 60% Strength Week 2 Early Growth Mix
          Day 10 1.5L each of 70% Strength Week 2 Early Growth Mix
          Day 11 1.5 L each of 80% strength Week 2 early Growth Mix
          Day 12 1.5L each of 85% Strength Week 2 early growth mix
          Day 13 2L each of 85% Strength Week 2 early growth Mix
          Day 14 2L each of 50% Strength Week 2 early growth Mix (drain EC last watering was slightly higher than EC going in so I reduced the nute strength) plus some Great White.

          All week 2 waterings had 5-10ml of Terpinator added

            OzBud just read your previous grow, freaking awesome! Going through my first auto grow and swiped your feed chart and will be using. Question, do you feed everyday? On my second grow and I water to 20% run off and usually when pot is light, about every 3rd day. Your plants are kicking my plants backside. Do you feed to runoff and if so am I doing something wrong?

            SheikYerbouti I feed to runoff every second day for the first week then every day from then on aiming for a minimum of 20% drain/runoff. Runoff is vital, always have runoff when watering coco to help prevent nutrient salt buildup

            OK so this grow I decided to keep my records electronically in Excel spreadsheets. Every day I input the amount of nutes etc I've used and it adds it up for me and calculates the cost for the grow plus other cost data that I've input.

            I'm also recording min/max temp & humidity, pH in/out, EC in/out, water in/out/drain% & plant height and I've added graphs that pull the data I put in the spreadsheet so I can easily visually track things too. Way more complicated than the average grower needs but I do something similar with all my data at work and I enjoy making spreadsheets so I thought I'd try it this way.

            I've also updated my nute calculator spreadsheet I made last grow to include Terpinator, Great White Mychorrizae. I've also changed the CALiMAGic to full strength all grow rather than just to flower before backing off to the normal recommended rate from the GH feed charts.

                I'm seriously glad to have you here! I'm not really bothered how much I spend on growing I'm just curious as to what the cost vs results are. Plus after a few grows I can compare which grows/strains were more cost effective. Pretty much I love numbers and data.

                  Growing is always an exciting time. It's sort of a rushed job at the end of the day tending to the girls. 4.30am wake up, 6am start at work ( I'm there working at 5.45 usually), finish work 6-6.30pm, come home, shower, eat, spend time with partner/cat, water/feed the girls then bed. repeat the next day. Sundays off though. Harvest should be finished in 2 more weeks so work should slow down a bit for 4-6 weeks then into the next big project.

                  Going to take two weeks off end of june/start of july to fly back west to visit mum and the wrinkles(grandparents) for a week then home for the second week to relax with the mrs and cat. Grow will be done and dried by then and then I'm thinking of starting a Kings Kush CBD Auto grow when I get back.
