Week 1 of the g.bomb grow and the plant had no issues. This is my second time growing this strain and so far it has been behaving similar to the first run. It was the 1st plant in the grow to pop and has been growing vigorously ever since heading into the next week.

G. Bomb continued flourishing in week 2, had to add a stake to support the stem because it was leaning over too much for my comfort. I've been watering it with plain water as it doesn't need a lot of nutes early in the grow being that it's a rich soil grow.

Great week for the plant. Waiting for the bomb to recover from the topping so I can apply more rigorous training.

Wasnt a bad week for the plant albeit it got a little sunburnt. The plant is recovering well from the heat stress and has been taking well to the mainline training. -Vegetative growth has still being explosive -Plant seems to be very hungry, dries out the fastest in the garden. -Had to change the plant ties because the previous ones were too hard to bend easily - quality of life change I guess. Im still excited to see how the mainlining turns out, I'm leaving 10 tops instead of the usually 8, shouldn't be much harder. :) Famous last words Stripped the lower growth to power the manifold. Plant looks great

Late update: It was a good week for the bomb, once again. It's taking very well to the manifold training, I left 2 extra tops on the plant therefore not following the manifold/mainline technique completely. Im seeing some slight nute burn on the leaves, I am feeding them the full foxfarms schedule SO lets see.

Good week. However, after the 2nd watering a few leaves started reacting dramatically. I believe it to be nute burn but im not too sure because I had temperature issues this week, there were a couple colder nights and days which may have caused the shock. Albeit, the next watering is going to be a decent flush to hopefully clear up this issue. Definitely need to solve this before I flip the lights in a week or 2

Experiencing some yellowing leaves with brown patching on this plant, I checked the plant doctor site and no deficiencies really matches the description 100% so it's left me scratching my head. What do you think it could be?

Leaves. Color - Yellow

hello friend, I'm not very experienced. if I were you I wouldn't be worried, I think it's normal that older leaves turn yellow over time. The plant makes more use of the leaves closest to the light to perform all its daily functions and lets the leaves farthest from the light die. wait for more advice but I think your plant is very beautiful and healthy 💪

The fox farms soil schedule recommends to flush on week 4, i missed the flush by 2 weeks and the girls really let me know that, no need to panic though😕. It may have been a nute lockout issue but I'm not too sure all I knew is that it couldn't have been a nute deficiency with the amount of PPM i was feeding per watering. Removed the dying and affected leaves from the canopy so id be able to identify if the issue was addressed then I flushed the soil using the fox farms sledgehammer flushing solution. I wanna say the sledgehammer solution worked great, I was able to get the PPM in the soil in check after 1 watering, but I gave it 2 waterings of this because why not. It responded great to the flush, because I haven't seen many signs of the same issue occurring since the flush and the plant looks as great in person as it does in these photos but ill definitely keep yall posted on this one. Anywho the grow will be going back on the nute feed next week, I can continue to stress and stretch them out now since they're doing fine 💪 The growth looks to be back on track and currently waiting to flip the lights on this entire grow to see the fat nugs that these babies will develop. 😁

So i pulled back on the Fox Farm nutes I'm now feeding half the recommended dosage. They bounced back well from the prior week's flush. Did some super cropping and unfortunately had to perform a rescue operation on one of the branches. Completely snapped a branch in half...oops... Seems like I was able to save it though, no signs of wilting on the branch. I'll remove that tape in a couple weeks to see how it looks... I'm sure it will be fine though :p. Did some heavy defoliation and canopy maintenance and switched the lights to 12-12 moving into the new week. Cant wait to see how big these girls are going to get moving into the flowering period. :D😤 Lights were dropped to 20 inches and turned up to max intensity.

Checking in with the 2nd week of flower for the G.Bomb. Defoliated the lower canopy to promote airflow and upper growth As you can see, shes shot up during the stretching period, Think its safe to expect another couple ft of stretch by the end of the 4th. Shes drinking more than ever, i'm going to increase the nute intake next week so she'll have all she need to finish her stretching. Looking forward to keeping you guys updated within the following weeks 😁😁

Checking in with the G. Bomb update, she's continued to stretch, maybe 2 inches or so, nothing crazy this week, Did a major defoliation to get better light penetration to the lower canopy. She shows no signs of slowing down and has been growing healthy since the beginning, I increased her nute intake this week and she's responded great. Cant wait to give some bud development updates on this

Steady growth with the bomb, alot of trichome production all over her. Pulled back on nutes for the entire garden, feeding only once a week and plain ph'd water on the 2nd water. They seem to be loving it. Had to set up a trellis in the tent to hold up some of these flowers. Im super excited to see how much bigger they can get by the end of flower.😁 Crazy tops going on from the eagle view.

Checking in with the G. Bomb. Had to make a make-shift tomato ring for her, i wasn't liking how inaccessible the trellis net made my set up. Especially after seeing the leaves showing some issues. SOOO Make-shift tomato ring, its not pretty but it gets the job done lol. Fed the same nutes as the previous week. Ill be backing off with the nutes while these girls ripen through the last weeks of flower. Colas are still packing on weight bending some of the stems, hence the tomato ring lol.

The next update will be the harvest update :D super stoked, posting sometime later this week. So i spotted a deficiency throughout the garden matching a potassium deficiency, it made no sense because all of the nutrients being fed at that point were loaded with POTASH. So it made sense that it was a nutrient lockout. I wanted to feed till harvest but since i was having lockout issues, my wishes be damned. The flush went great and I saw improvements a couple of days after. I flushed the soil using the Sledgehammer solution and 3 gals of water at 6.5pH To start off with the beginning of the week, I was looking out for signs of recovery from the presumed Potassium lockout at 11/23, there were no more signs of the lockout at this point.🙏 Stay tuned for the mid-week harvest update!!😌 Canopy: Mid-week inspection of the G.Bomb I noticed the plant quickly put on its Fall coat. The color of the leaves became a vibrant yellow with some pink/purple hues throughout. I wonder if I would've been able to get some deeper pinks if the plant didn't suffer some issues. Cola: Since the prior week i noticed that she stopped shooting out pistils and I gave her more time to see what would happen... No more pistils which therefore she's nearing ready harvest. The colas however have packed on some nice weight and look gorgeous. 😍 From appearance the colas look larger than my previous grow of the strain, I'm excited to see the final dry weight so that I can compare. Trichomes: Whipped out the jeweler's loupe to peek at the trichomes; there was a mixture of cloudy white trichomes and ambers. I personally prefer to harvest on full milky white trichomes, which is said to be when the plant is at its highest THC content. I decided to harvest it at the end of the week. Going to be lots of work. Peep the trichome shots *those are pretty hard to capture*😁 Aroma: The aroma could be described as flowery, peppery and maybe a hint of diesel...not too sure. The aroma was a bit fainter compared to the last grow but I'm excited to see how well it does in the cure phase. Expecting some great notes.

I'm glad this entire tent didn't turn out to be a failure honestly, multiple issues popped up during several weeks, had to move locations in the middle of flowers. So keeping up with the weekly update was challenging with all those going on and my daily, The yield came in a little under what i was hoping but that can be attributed to the issues i was facing The smoke is really great and heavy hitting, i might seriously consider growing the G Bomb for a 3rd time to see if i can dial in some consistency. Overall I'm happy with the product and its flavorful and the notes are clear, very diesel forward Adding a CO2 bag for the next grow. Signing Out For This G. BOMB Grow PEACE
