@MagicMikesMeds,YES YOU NAILED IT!!! There is something about the strain that has an amazing unique smell! Unfortunately my seeds were not as lucky as I got some male flowers about week 4 :( but I guess it happens :(. I am getting to truly experience phenotypes and the differences they show which is nice and educational!

I'd recommend starting at 1/2 the recommended strength and I would not start feeding at all until week 3 or 4. There should be more than enough nutrients in your soil for the first 3-4 weeks. Good luck! 👍

It’s not too early to defoliate. She’s a nice looking little bush! Go ahead and defoliate now. Remove the large fan leaves blocking light getting to the bud sites. Good luck!

Love me some atomic bomb 💣. I am a huge fan of 💣 Seeds. Every strain I have grown from them has been a winner. I am currently growing a hodgepodge of strains in my garden, but I have 1 Gorilla 🦍 Bomb 💣 which shares some genetics as the Atomic that you are growing. They both have been crossed with THC Bomb. I have a 10 pack of Atomic femanized seeds in the on deck circle ⭕️ waiting for a free slot in the garden so I will be sure to keep an eye 👁️ on your grow to see how they fill out. I try to post bi-weekly videos of my garden to my YouTube Channel. Check it out if you have a chance: www.youtube.com/channel/UCJiLvEn7XRcH_o3sHd8qbyQ “Keep It Safe, Keep It Green, & Smoke 💨 It Up!!!”

@Ak_keith, if you are looking to cross breed your plants then hang onto one of those male plants. I only grow femanized seeds, or clones from my own garden, so o don’t have much experience dealing with male plants. The nice part about pheno hunting is that once you find a pheno that you love, you can then tailor your garden to that pheno through cloning. “It’s Science “

Hi @Ak_keith! I would wait for the plant to enter flowering stage before doing a serious defoliation. All you want in veg stage is node development and new side-growth, leaves are the main way to get the energy for these tasks. Once you trigger flowering by changing your light schedule, you can defoliate in order for the bud-sites to get the maximum light. If you really want to defoliate now, do it slightly and remove only 2~3 main fan leaves at a time. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

@Ak_keith, Happy to help, keep up the great work 👌

@Stick, thank you this does make sense! Ive noticed that it's pretty easy to overthink what's going on. Sometimes just taking a step back and reading a good,helpful comment just puts it all in perspective,seriously thank you!

Lovely looking ladies. I wouldn't recommend cal-mag at this stage. Too much nitrogen. Use mag-sulphur mid flower onwards instead. Keep up the good work, bro. Very nice frost, btw. Don't cut before you check the trichomes, though. And let the calyx's swell too, thats where the gold is ;-)

Ak_keithcommented6 years ago

@Mr_Positivo, ok yes I was thinking too much nitrogen so thank you for confirming that (dark green leaves curling tips right?) I had spotted about 6-10 pods of male flowers that started opening on week 4. I removed them and vigoursly scanned all 4 plants. I have not seen any other signs, does this just mean the seeds are on the inside of the buds? I really do appreciate you pros taking the time to help us newbies out. It really is appreciated!!

I guess I’m just not that good a grower, and I can’t see these pics well on a phone without saving the screenshot and zooming in, and I’m not doing that, but all I see are very healthy plants. I love this phase! They’re like 8-10 year old kids. Brimming with health and growing like weeds, old enough to be fun to enjoy their company, but haven’t yet become temperamental, sullen, snarky, disappointing teenagers. Enjoy!

Ak_keithcommented6 years ago

@growdoctordc, haha thank you, we are all learning here so don't beat yourself up too much,we all had to start somewhere, I'm still learning myself :). The comparison to an 8-10 year old is spot on!! So true lol!!!
