First grow - THC Bomb Auto by Bomb Seeds

Normanite420 This is day one. These three girls just broke soil today. I am watering with a spray bottle with RO water and ensuring the area around the seedling is moist but not wet.

Normanite420 These girls are super happy. I have moved them under one “1500w” cob led light. I have another to add when they are big enough - any suggestion as to when that might is welcomed. The light is 28 inches above the plants. Started adding a little bit of calmag to the water and will add liquid seaweed in next watering. I am also making compost tea to feed this weekend. I’ve read that Fox Farm Ocean floor can be hot for auto seedlings but it looks like these ladies can handle it thus far or maybe it just hasn’t cropped up yet? Thoughts?

Normanite420 19 days old now. They are thriving. Starting to stink too, so will add carbon filter this week. Still spraying but will probably give first real soak this week. I want to start LST or possibly too but I have no confidence. Since it’s first grow I wonder if best to avoid all stress and just learn to grow. I will study and make a decision in next day or two.

Normanite420 First attempt at lst did not go well and they really drooped. My mistake for starting same day I added second light and topped. Went back in after they recovered and lst the lower branches to start shaping them. All are flowering since a few days ago. They are 16 inches tall. Amazing plants. I will start with small dose of fox farm big bloom this week. Still using liquid seaweed and calmag in all watering.

Normanite420 These girls are doing awesome. I did some LST for two weeks - shapes them nicely. Went to adjust LST on several plants and noticed the branches had lost lost flexibility so I called it all off. I fed with 1/4 dose big bloom and cal mag. Did have one leaf on one plant with 4 tiny orange spots that might be bite burn. The same plant rocketed to 28 inches this week and spent about 12 hours just about 8 inches from the light. The top leaves curled and the petioles were dark purple. I raised the light and petioles were back to normal within 10 hours so maybe just stress? Not sure. Anyway, I will cut back even more next feeding. Probably do compost tea and water next week then feed again.

Normanite420 Plants are all filling in nicely. One plant developed dark purple petioles and some purpling on the leaves as well as some spots (only two leaves on entire plant). I think it is a phosphorus deficiency. I fed today with 1 tsp of a Tiger bloom and .5 tsp of cal mag per gallon. Currently watering half gallon per plant. Hope these nutes solve the purple issue.

Normanite420 Great week. If there was a phosphorus or magnesium deficiency, it hasn’t gotten worse. I did use an epsom salt foliar spray twice only on the leaves. I won’t do it again. Either way, these ladies are packing on the bud. Really hope the tall one fills in with dense buds - kinda fluffy right now. Did have a tiny bit of nute burn on one plant - cut back to 1/4 dose plus liquid seaweed this feeding.

Normanite420 Had what I think is slight nutrient burn on the big plant but it seems to be OK - still growing fine after a flush. My feeling is this pheno is just very sensitive but I could be wrong - I am a newb so please let me know what you think. The other two plants are humming along with no issues. I feel like there are only a few weeks left so I just want to maximize production for the remaining time I have.

Normanite420 Feels like this might be the last week before chop. The trichomes are about 15-20% amber. I think I will only water with a little molasses and liquid seaweed the rest of the way. I am also growing another strain that is gonna need more time so I have to figure out how to dry these buds somewhere other than a tent. Would love your advice on this. These plants have been a joy to grow.

Normanite420 Chop day! Did 72 hours of darkness to close out the grow. Learned so much!!! Thank you all!!!
