Bomb Seeds - Experiences?

Hard for me to ever get real impressed with a plant in veg. I have seen it happen too often, good vegging plant turns into only a decent flowering plant, or a really slow vegger turns into one bad ass massive plant. Hard to judge a plant based on a few weeks of veg.

Got here the feminized Berry, THC, SLH, and LSD from seed (1 of each) and they are now entering day 2 of their 3rd week of veg and so far I'm impressed. I've got them on a solid homemade aeroponic system doing 15 minutes on and 30 minutes off with a 400W HPS light doing 18hrs on and 6hrs off at about 18" away from the top (horizontal) attached to a hammered light-reflector. Though no fans nor Co2, these meds are not enclosed in a closet nor confided in a tight space. Based on the hand test, the temp feels like tropical hotness but not too much as to burn.

I've been using advanced nutrients' Micro, Grow, Bloom, B52, and Overdrive, and also adding canna rhizotonic and cannazym to the mix.
Here's my nutrients input for a 3-week vegetative cycle:
during the first two weeks I use Rhizotonic as directed and 2mL of Overdrive per L in my reservoir;
then for each week of the 3 weeks of veg, I use:
B-52 at 2mL per L;
Micro at 5mL per L;
Grow at 4mL per L;
Bloom at 4.5mL per L.

As far as the flowering cycle, I am planning on using:
Cannazhym as directed for each week;
Micro at 4mL per L foe each wk;
Grow at 4mL/L the 1st wk then 4.5mL the 2nd wk, and 5mL for each wk after that;
Bloom at 4mL/L duringn the first half of the flowering cycle, then increasing to 5mL/L for each wk after that;
Rhizotonic as directed for the first 2 wks only;
Overdrive at 2mL/L the 1st wk and the last 2 wks only;
and B52 at 2mL/L from the 3rd wk until the beggining of flushing;
I am planning on doing a flushing with nothing but tap water for one week right before harvest.

I've topped them using uncle Ben's technique (Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to Get 2 or 4 Main Colas) and got the four main colas/kolas. I've also been taking two clones out of each one of them on day 1 of week 2. They've been growing so fast that I've topped them again to let 4 more main kolas for each of the 4 initial main kolas on day 1 of week 3.

They are growing so fast! I've never seen anything like it. Actually, it's my first time growing and I'm not smoking anything until they are ready to smoke! It's a peaceful hobby and taking care of plants heals me in a way. Needless to say, I'm excited about this growth!
The characteristics about these strains were particularly attractive to me when I had to choose a strain. For me it was the yield to thc % ratio and with a fruity or candy taste apparently.

I am new to this site, and would welcome anyone with some help, tips or advice to get me on the right track with the advanced care of plants or other things such as friendship, journal entries, good references, etc. Feel free to holla at me. Peace!

Hello Rolling, I agree with althor, you have a ways to go...I am not being critical when I say, "You have an awful lot of expensive chemistry going on there with the nutes program"...I want you to enjoy your grow so if you are having a good time carry on...You might want to read what some folks here on RIU have to say about Dyna Gro...I think a member with the user name "homebrewer" did a side by side with AN awhile back...I am not trying to beat a drum...Simplicity (the only time I would flush weed is when the police are at the door) is my thing...To each their own...Good luck...FWIW

ok wow thank you for the comments and refs!!! I'll keep my guard up and will look up Dyna gro now. Thx again! Peace!

Hey there I'm a long time gardener but new to this online community stuff and hav been having a browse thru various threads and came across this one. Do I just hijack and jump straight in??!
I'd just like to say on this point that i've some experience with Bomb seeds all of which has been A+..having initially seen friends grow cluster, cheese and berry bomb on different occassions with truly astounding success, mega fast growing, mid to high yield, super stinky and covered in resin...
on my last project 4 of my 10 ladies were THC Bomb fem seeds from the 'tude. Amazing plants. Grew like stink from the moment they were out the cubes.
4 pot wilma with pebbles, PMagic nutes all the way for the thc's alongside 6 10 lt coco pots of other strains; vanilla kush, k.kush, h.g kush, al alquimista, critical sensi star and a GWS all on canna coco nutes. All screened low with 800w cfls running as space is limited. The thc's absolutely blew the others away- granted they were in hydro but near double the size/yeild of the next best coco? Seriously?! Total from op was 290 dry after a 4 week veg( from first true leaf) and 9 wks flower. 150g from 4 thc bomb, 140ish between the other 6!! So maybe not double but considerably more!! I am sold on bomb seeds and will be doing thc again thats for sure. I'd upload some pics if/when i can- not sure how to go about that ....I had an ice bomb in my veg space for my current op and it was romping however it sadly had to go to another home due to lack of space- grew too big too quick!! I'll get a taste in a coupe of months so could be worse! Cheers- hope this helps out anyone swithering about seed choice- i've had nothing but positive experience they'll always be in my seed stash for sure!!

Thanks Chonger for sharing your experience. Much appreciated. My Berry Bomb has made the biggest impression on me so far. I lowered the nutes from my veg feeding program to almost running nothing but water on week 4 of veg which I extended since these plants share the same reservoir but have different needs. Education never stops. THC Bomb, Berry bomb, LSD and SLH are doing great. That Berry has got the thickest stems of them all! And they are all so compact! They look like a bunch of 100 year old bonzai trees! As soon as they are finishing their week 4 of veg (couple of days), I'm going to start their flowering cycle and re-continue their feeding program stated in the previous post. I'll be taking notes on their reactions and make appropriate changes. What's funny is that, the Berry Bomb took lots of nutes no problem while the THC Bomb got sensitive. I wish I could pinpoint their nutritional needs ahead of time. Could there be/is there a book or reference database that would give away the nutritional load that is most prominently liked by each distinctive strains out there during the vegetetive and flowering cycles? Such information would be hard to gather given the different variables...quite extensive but doable nonetheless...

I have to agree with alot of what I have read here. I have been doing THC Bomb for a while, and it is the most amazing plant I have grown in over 25 years of growing. It grows very fast in veg, but just explodes in the flower room.In veg the plants do look like bonzai trees.They are compact,dense and very sturdy and stout with thick stems. They are also very uniform.Every one I have grown looks like an indica dominate plant with huge dark green leaves.They can take a lot of nutes also.They also handle high temps pretty well.Every now and then I got one with more branches than the others,but they all grow awesome and the buds grow as fast as any strain I have ever grown.The crystals start to form early and are tall.Not to much smell either. I grew them the first time along side Sensi's Northern Lights, BC Bud Depots Mango, Dutch passions ''The Ultimate'' , DNA'S Lemon Skunk and Reserva Privada's Kandy Kush. The THC Bomb was put in the flower room several weeks after the rest, and it took over the garden. NL, Mango and the Ultimate are also awesome plants to grow, but the THC Bomb is as advertised.The Lemon Skunk is great also (grows tall though) and I only had one Kandy Kush and it was not a good plant to grow from day 1. It was super sensitve to water, nutes and even light it seemed like.THC Bomb also was great smoke with a great high.You can't go wrong with that.

Hey there folks!

I noticed recently that Bomb Seeds has two new strains: Cherry Bomb and Atomic. Has anyone tried these yet?

I am growing THC Bomb and their genetics seem real stable for me. I have 3 in flower and not much variation. Super frosty too! I plan on running more gear from them. I haven't seen any bad info on Bomb seeds and many great grow reports on their products. They are worth a try whatever they got. IMO

I've been growing bomb seeds for about a year no I think the genetics are top notch I've just got two atomic bomb beans and I'm eager to crack them I've just harvested 1 cheese bomb I got 5oz of potent stinky cheese and 1 thc bomb that I got just over 6oz they were under a 600w sunmaster and I fed them on advanced nutes iguana juice and bloombastic booster can't wait to see how the atomic bomb goes

Did you notice any pheno variation in the THC Bomb? Or is it only one plant?
I neded up with two phenotypes. One was frosty, a little shorter, and the buds were a lighter green color, the smoke was sweet and fruity.

The other was covered in red hairs, so much so that when dried, looked like little orange fuzzy golf balls. The smoke was slightly more spicy and the buzz a little more uppy, but not as strong as the shorter frosty one.

I think the redder one prob had more Sativa genetics in it and maybe needed a longer finish time.

I grew out 2 berrybombs and i thought they were pretty good

the last 1 i harvested had all the rred hairs you describe with a very spicy taste like u say but the yeild was great for a soil grow

i have grow some Berry bomb was pretty fast grow but they where all male!
i got some THC bomb going now they seem pretty slow for now .. Maybe because of my high temp in my veg tent anyway they seem stable Bomb seed are good shit !

Yip I've got two greenhouse seeds cheese on the go too mate and they are both doing great super smelly and very frosty can't wait too get them finished!

I've grew big bomb,cheese bomb,thc bomb and I've just cracked 1 atomic bomb the genetics are great in theese seeds I've never had one male or hermi and the yields are crazy if you top them a couple of times they are also very tolerable of high levels of nutes be carefull how u dry and cure though or the smoke can get ruined quite easy

I'm on my third harvest with THC bomb. It is very strong smoke, but a bitch to trim. It grows so bushy, I have had my best success with topping and cropping. It seems to take a hell of a lot longer to get that sweet smell and perfect cure. I recently harvested Jack Diesel, Boss Hogg and Jilly Bean and the THC Bomb took two weeks longer to finallly lose the hay smell and start smelling sweet.

The smoke is strong from the beginning, but I am having second thoughts about continuing this strain in my perpetual.
It's good smoke, stable genetics and easy to clone, but I don't like the way it fills in every available space with leaves. hard to get light anywhere past the canopy.

YeH your right mate the more room you give it the more it will fill out and the cure does take longer than most but the smoke is worth it along with the yield brilliant for scrog grows

I have wanted to try a scrog with this one. I have a perpetual with different strains coming and going in the flowering room, so I cant screen them all. I am thinking about making some sort of screen that attaches with bamboo stakes to an individual plant.

I never tried scrogging, but am starting to see it's benefits with a lot of strains

Have you checked out my pics just put up some of the photos I have of my last couple of grows
