Ice bomb- bomb seeds
START: The seeds were taken out if packadge and place into water for 18 hours . Next, they go into a medium ziploc brand bag
Starting method : The seeds went into a cup of water for 18 hours . Following that they went into a damp paper towel ; folded up , put in a medium ziploc brand bag closed up . That bag will go on a heat pad which has a probe and temperature control. I do my best to keep the temperature at about 26°C . Check the seeds every 12 hours untill I had some gorgeous root about an 3/4 of an inch long .
SEEDLINGS: To start I use the standard red solo cup protical, they grew very nicely into their first set of leaves, no stress issues what so ever up until this point . Starting off with 72 hours of light under fluorescents.
VEGETATION: Once the seedlings enter into a 1 gallon pot in my mind it's a vegetative stage. They recieved an 20/4 lighting cycle for the next couple weeks. Now here comes the curveball. My father got sick and my choice was stay and look after the company or fly half way across the country . So I took the flight .
I return 12 days later? These plants had no water, no love , nothing for those days. Anyways to skip the sob story and keep it scientific we will say on day 13 without water is my return home . Only one plant lived ... barely. At this point it would be easy to pack it in. The top of the plant had one leaf left with a small amount of green; aside from that it was burnt , dehydrated , the whole list !
RECOVERY: The plant had around the clock rehabilitation. This included sitting under a 150watt fluorescent light at a monitored distance to ensure no further damage . 2 weeks into recovery it is starting to get the top foliage back. 1 month later it's looking pretty damn good , 2 months she is fully recovered.
At this point I take clones from that plant , leaving a week or two before placing them in their flower area .
FLOWER: So and old grower trick passed along to me is to feed the flower nutrients and then leave the room dark for 24 ^ hours . In the early stages of flower I tried the 3"×3"flexable SCROG which after a few weeks I ended up just taking the thing off ( as shown in my grow diary ) leaving the stems with no support really what so ever . With ice bomb it was able to take the stress of the buds without snapping so they were just sitting there almost seemingly weightless . Really didnt notice the smell much untill the end stages of flower at which point it will smell smell like gods V*Gina, a pungent thick aroma , with notes of chocolate, cheesy , with a light skunky after taste. They had 6 hads of straight water .
They sat at 20.9°c / 48% rhm. Now in jars were they will sit being opened on the daily until they are ready to show off!
