I lit the fuse on this little bubble bomb and hopefully she will explode into buds. Bomb seeds took some cannabis cup winning bubblegum and crossed it with their thc bomb resulting in a strain capable of getting potent and extremely frosty. I have been excited to get this girl going and here we go!
I soaked the seed in RO water for about 24 hours until it popped. Then placed it into a rockwool cube that had been soaked overnight in pH 6 RO water. She broke the surface 4 days from soaking. Starting her under a 23w 6500k cfl. I will be transferring her to a Dutch bucket soon. She will start on a pinch of nutrients on day 3.
Day 4 after a 24 hour test run of the new system the girls were transferred to the dutch buckets. Will be pumping nutrients 24/7.
i look at the branches , for starting/ ending silica... if they are weak, i start, if they are much more stable4 and resiliant , i stop... sometimes i give only one feeding with silica
@Mrs_Larimar, Thank you. I think that your advice is the best thing to do. I have noticed it makes the stems much stronger and I like it but have heard that the silica might make the flowers burn a little harsh.
I love the pics of the purple lighting on the buds, makes 'em look sinister! Would've been great in one of those oldschool propaganda anti-cannabis films LOL
@mr_h_kovert, yeah she is thick. Was doing a final tie down to spread them out today and her stems won't budge at all. I have a feeling she will be a sticky one.
@CRiSPrGrow, Thanks for the input. I recirculate nutrients but I have been hearing that the silica can make the flowers harsh. I see the benefit in stronger stems. It definitely works. But will probably cut it out of the feed next water change
