I don't associate with those who buy fem'd seeds lol he could have got a bad batch, loved the yield just didn't like the smoke or resin production

I am waiting for my 4 (reg)berry bomb to ripen up.Taking forever it seems.
2 smell fruity,other 2 dont have much smell to them.1 is turning purple.
Covered with milky thc glands but i see no amber at all.
Im wondering if this strain will turn at all.
The center colas are fat,and so heavy they just hang down now.
This strain will definetly stretch when switched to 12/12.

Like yourself I'm starting my third grow, first 2 were Big Bomb, massive yields and great smoke, don't think anyone could fuck this strain up, had many problems during the grow, but in the end all was well. Working on getting THC Bomb started, purchased 10 fem seed from Herbies which all died shortly after germinating (very sickly and weak), Herbies replaced seeds, nowhave them germinated and in Rockwool, waiting for them to pop thru.
Have you tried THC Bomb

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!

Micro (2-0-0), Grow1 (1-0-4), Grow2 (2-1-6), Bloom(1-3-4), B52(2-1-4), and Overdrive(1-5-4); what's the magic feeding formula for these strains?

Hey Rolling, I see you know about Uncle Ben. I would believe what I found on his threads before I would a bunch of random internet people here I don't even know. Uncle Ben is referenced in several respected grow books, Jorge Cervantes being one of them...Since you asked, my "magic formula" for soil indoors, is balance. pH, NPK, micro-nutrients & microbes...Over maybe 20 years I did just fine with Miracle Grow Soil, All Purpose & Bloom Fert and what I read in "High Times"...I learned (read) here on RIU that Miracle Grow sux big time and won't work??? Didn't know how stupid I was till I showed up here. I did need to learn how to use it had flops along the way...I know you spent money buying "sophisticated, multi-dimenisional" stuff. Kinda like buying a "Ferrari"; you still need to learn to drive...Keep on keeping on; it is the only way to get somewhere...You will do fine if you don't quit...All the best...FWIW

Thank you for the support. I appreciate that from the bottom of my heart. I wish you all the best. Education never stops here neither. THC Bomb, Berrr Bomb, LSD and SLH are doing great. They are so compact! They look like a bunch of 100 year old bonzai trees! They are finishing their week 4 of veg this week; I'm going to start their flowering cycle right after that. Love, peace and harmony!
