Hey guys. Sorry for jumping in your thread like this but I'm about to start growing some THC Bomb (Bomb Seeds) in a couple of weeks and was just wondering if you know if it's easy to grow? I'm a novice at this you see. Just waiting for my first ever grow of Powerkush to finish up before I plant them. Pleasantly surprised with the Powerkush so far though so I must be doing something right! Should I grow as many in my grow tent as I can fit you reckon? It'll be wall to wall. Sorry for all the questions.

You've already got potash in those bottles
What do you mean its too confusing?
It shoudl say something like this
N- 2.4
P- 5.3
K- 6.5
Or if not it will say something like
Available Nitrogen- 6
Available Phosphate- 2
Available Potassium- 4
Or something similar to that, you should be able to figure it out if you look at the label
BTW I just made those numbers up so they will obviously be different numbers

What is the Potash product your looking at? Is it made by Dutch Master?
If you tell me the NPK I can help you further on the potash but I see absolutely no reason why you would need it

The more plants you have the harder it is, unless your using an automated system with 1 res and your growing clones
Stick to just a few plants but veg them longer and you'll get just as good of results and youll enjoy it more.
As a general rule Indica strains are fairly easy to grow. I would imagine THC bomb is a very easy plant to grow

Cheers for the replies guys. Very kind of you. I've only got a small tent. I'm growing in soil, the Canna range. I could fit 4 x 6.5 litre pots in there but I'm thinking maybe 1 or 2 would be better so the light can get all around. Just got the one lady in there at the moment. Just asking because I've read somewhere it's best to fill the grow space and 1 plant seems a bit of a waste of space. Us beginners eh? Hehe!

yeah haha i was gonna do 2 plants lucky i didnt out of eight five were male and 1 hermie i went fem seeds this time so im hoping all bitchs haha what light u got

Yeah I've gone for all fem seeds too but obviously I'll keep a close eye on them just incase. I'm only running 4 45w cfl's to save on the leccy bill. That's why I went for Powerkush and THC Bomb. Been doing tons of reading online and apparently these 2 are fine with lower heat and lower light. You'll probably crucify me for that! People seem to hate cfl but my girl seems to be thriving quite nicely off of it.

6.5 liter pots? How big is your space?
I wouldn't grow in anything smaller than 3 gallons...

I wouldn't try to put more than one plant in there. That is just simply not enough space for more than 1 plant.(barely enough for 1 plant)
What I would do-
Find a dark walled container that is 40x40 wide and not too tall(1 foot). That will max out your medium size. The bigger your medium the more roots you have, the more roots you have the more plant the roots can support, the more plant the roots can support the more bud the plant can grow. So your medium size will directly influence the size of your harvest
Grow just 1 plant and let it get to 1/3 of the final height that you will be able to grow to.
When it becomes 1/3 your final height(remember to account for the height of the pot, the space taken for the lights, and the space needed between the bulbs and the plant... so you won't have much space for the plant with only 80cm!) cut the top shoot off and let the plant veg for another week or more or until the top branches start to grow out.
So you will have topped the plant at 1/3 of the final height allowance of your space, and now you will veg it until it reaches 1/2 the final height allowance for your space. That will mean the shoots the grew out to replace the top you removed will be sizeable enough to each develope a good sized bud. The benefits to this stratagy are threefold
1. you can veg your plant longer, meaning more roots will grow(and as I said more roots=more bud)
2. You can turn the 1 top bud into 2 or 4(that will depend on how the plant responds, it may grow 2 or 4 main shoots after topping)
3. Your plant will have a narrow profile that prevents it from pressing fan leaves/budsites up against the sides of the tent.
If you grow 4 plants you'll have to find some old japaneese bonsai master to teach you how to grow midget plants

Thinking about it a little more... You would be better off to grow the plant to 1/2 the total height and cut it down a bit lower on the plant. leaving a little less than 1/3 of the total height remaining on the plant. This will mean the shoots immediately below the cut will be more developed and will respond much quicker.
Another completely different option is you could veg the plant for as long as it takes for you to buy a larger tent/more light/venting and all that goes with that. Then when that is all setup you could move it into the bigger better flower tent and grow the plant out into a decent bush

That's some sound info. I really appreciate it. I'll go get the biggest pot I can fit in there in a couple of weeks. I do intend to get a much, much bigger tent and lights in future. Moving house in a few months so I'll wait until I'm in the new place before I invest. This is just really to tide me over and get some decent experience behind me in the meantime.

well if you havent already found your new place you should keep it in mind that there are better places to live for growing
If you can get an unfinished basement/mainfloor your set.
I live on the mainfloor and I can do quite a bit with my basement grow-room
I'll be getting a mini-split heat pump that will allow me to run 6k of lights in a sealed room with CO2, all while remaining perfectly stealthy and even be able to invite people over to my place with no worries
Having a basement is a huge asset if you want to grow more than a couple ounces
