I really enjoyed both growing and smoking that strain! The speed of growth during the vegetative stage was spectacular. It's like nothing could have stopped her! She was able to build a strong rootmass and big healthy leaves in a few days under cheap IKEA bulbs. And she exploded when I moved her under a 110W smd ("quantum board"). She was transplanted twice, and each time I switched her container I noticed some crazy roots all around the AirPot. Solid genetics in here, for sure! She was a pleasure to work on because her stems were flexible enough to bend them continuously, making the mainlining process very easy. No snap, no slow recovery, no toxicities nor deficiencies, and no light stress... She asked for more and I gave her the maximum I could, in terms of time, pot size, quality/quantity of light. I was not expecting so many side-branching so pruning was mandatory, as well as defoliating its large fan leaves. She needed some air at her feet. If you want to work on the same project, and plan to mainline a THC-Bomb in a quite short space, I would recommend to stop the training at 8 main colas, pushing to 16 was a bit crazy, since the buds were really close from each others during late flowering. But once again the quality of the genetics showed up and she was not affected by mold/mildew or any late-flowering disease. She just faded out nicely, and drove its last energy into resin production. The harvest was easy since that plant had a good leaf-to-bud ratio, plus she offered me some nice scissor-hash during the trim! No issue at all during drying, that was done in 16 days (8 days on the stems upside-down, and 8 days on a drying net). Curing was done conscientiously, by opening the jars everyday for almost 3 weeks. Then comes the smoke test! What a pleasure to enjoy your homemade product after so many weeks of work! The final product looks great in the jars, and even better in the grinder, her dense dry buds litterally explode once crushed, a small bud results in a big joint! The high will hit you after a few minutes, and will last for more than an hour. It is - in my opinion - an afterwork or party strain, it will not glue you to the couch but will make you feel energetic, happy, and creative. Definitely a social strain to share with good friends! The taste is not that unique (it can make you think of other strains) but still very nice, some notes of citrus, pepper, with an earthy dominance.

Nutrients
Can't go wrong with Greenleaf Nutrients. Powder feeding is really easy, and time-saving. The 4 products below have shown great efficiency. Be careful not to abuse with MegaCrop since it is very concentrated, I've experienced some Nitrogen toxicity previously with another plant. If you do not exceed what's written on the brand's schedule, you will be amazed by its effects on your plants. Sweet Candy is a must when it comes to terpenes enhancement. The calculator on the brand's website was simple and useful.

Well well well thanks to all of you for reading my diary and supporting that project ๐Ÿ˜Ž This was the longest run I've been through for a while, but it was worth it. I was rewarded with 168g of top shelf quality buds, while she was under a 110W SMD (LM301B) board. Only 110W... I was amazed by these boards by InvisibleSunLed, and very happy of my investment. Samsung diodes are game-changers and it will get even better in a near future, what an exciting time for us modern growers! If you plan to buy some SMD boards, make sure the driver is dimmable, the light intensity can be so strong at its maximum, you could burn your plants (or your eyes). I started the board at 50% (~55W) and slowly increased the wattage as I was seeing a happy plant enjoying her indoor sun. I was also very surprised by the cheap IKEA bulbs, some ingeneers at IKEA must be growing pot, these tiny things do really work! I wouldn't try to flower anything with these, but it was perfect for the first weeks of my THC-Bomb. I made some canna-butter using the sugar leaves from the trim and some decarboxylated buds, and cooked a big cake. That s*** was strong as hell, I was unable to do anything for 24 hours ๐Ÿ˜ญ If you're not used to edibles, start with small pieces rather than a big cake, I learned it the hard way ๐Ÿ˜œ I will now work on gaining knowledge about nutrient absorption in coco, improving my photo skills (must get a new camera..), and I will also look for a better way to produce timelapses. Shout-out to the brands who made this possible: ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Bomb Seeds (breeder) ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Invisible Sun Led (lights) ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Greenleaf Nutrients (nutrients) ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Air-Pot (pots) ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช IKEA ๐Ÿ˜‚ (lights) I enjoyed sharing this experience with you, stay tuned for some other grow report, and happy growing to all ๐Ÿ‘Š

I'm growing her sister strain as we speak, Atomic Bomb. Do you know mix your coco with perlite to help with aeration?

@Tweak, I never water twice a day but usually I water until I got a good runoff to prevent salt buildup in the coco and to ensure a full refresh of the medium. ๐Ÿ’ง๐ŸŒฑ

@Stick, I find the perlite helps with nutrient buildup in the coco, I use a airpot with 50/50 mix coco and perlite. Just find that sometimes in warm weather I have to water 2x a day

@Tweak, Nope this run was 100% coco I trust the AirPot for root zone breathing

Never seen someone mainlining 16 colas indoors, truly inspiring! I will try to do this, any tips?๐Ÿ˜€

@petermoca, Thanks! Well, you should really wait for node nยฐ5 before topping at node nยฐ3, this will speed up the recovery process and the new growth for the 2 first main stalks. Quite the same for the next topping surgeries, wait for the plant to develop 2-3 nodes above the node you want to top. The canopy-ring definitely helped me in managing the LST, I highly recommend to buy or build something similar. I think that transplanting 3 times also helped in building a strong root system. Select your strain, you don't want to many side growth, you need a strong genetic with symmetrical nodes, some strains don't like to be bent, others are sensitive to scissor cuts... For every run I recommend to proceed to seedling selection (see the first weeks of my diaries). I'd be happy to follow your experience, and I remain available if you need further information. Happy growing! ๐Ÿ‘Š

Cool insight on the "cold morning" I've read and heard ALOT and never heard read or put this together myself. Very cool thanks for sharing. PS my grow is very cold and most of my plants are very tightly noded. Coincidence? I'll have to explore this subject more!
