- Russian Tzar Bomba Autoflower seeds were put in a cup of water today. Along with a Zamaldelica Autoflower. there is room for both of these plants as the heirlooms finish. 11/13 HOUR lite schedule might mess with them... Lets see.
- 2 summers ago now I grew one of the Russian Tzar Bomba's from Nukeheads. This was a solid bush that had the exact qualities of a linebacker and the LSD plant. Certainly it was one of the strongest funkiest strains I've grown outdoors. Certainly it will be run again outdoors, BUT i had to give these autoflwers a shot.
- KUDOS TO NUKEHEADS PEOPLE !! They are nobody's favourite supplier, but each crop I have ordered from them has been spectacular. Cheers CODY !! Happy to be soaking your genetics again.
Here is the link to my 8-plant grow that included the Russian Tzar Bomba photo-period ...

@Indicaman2015, oh you can Count on it IndicaMan.
The Autos have become the Trophy and the Heirlooms just gave me the experience. Go Auto’s
Joking above really. The heirloom grow was a fantastic journey.
In reality, whats happened is seeds have been produced. They are random crosses of these 5 strains, after the plants shared their pollen amongst themselves. If you ever wish to try some Landrace grows, just let me know. Seeds are available
@PROMIX, it was well worth the opportunity, Thanks again for the materials. Crazy growth on the plant exposed to the Connect. I’ll run another side by side, guaranteed.
@Lemonhazelover, Thanks Bud, this one has a great history in my Garden.
VERY MUCH like an LSD plant. Definite LineBacker shape with Tough sturdy branches. And fire in the buds
NukeHeads does not have a lot of Vocal Fans, but their strains have been super solid at this end
CAT!! I love cats, although they have the worst hair for coating buds in, but you just cannot stay mad at the cute face.
Do you do anything to get them so lengthy?
@Jobbie, the Buds or the Cats?!
If its the Bhadra plant, its her genetics all the way. I was warned that it is a Tall reaching plant, and at week 4 I applied some Horizontal training to the main stalk. This brought the side branches up, into play.
Good luck with the girls.
Do you think Tzar Bomba has some Rudelaris in his genetics?
Have you taken the PPFD measurement in the midday sun?
Give them light without compassion, they will love it.
