THC bomb feminised organic grow

this is my second grow doing x4 THC bomb feminised. vegged them for 4 weeks using a 400watt hps(16hours on 8 off) in a 80x80x180cm which i had to replace for a 100x100x200cm about 3 weeks into flowering as they grew to big, humidity was kept about 50-80% they was a little stretchy but not to bad. Was using tap water up to about 5 weeks into flowering then I realised there was a ph issue which caused calcium deficiency on 3 of the plants which unfortunately slowed the growth a bit, was easily fixed by buying bottled water from the shop and feeding magne+ and have been using that since. Nutrients i use for vegging was root-juice bio-grow and bio-Heaven which they seem to love and for flowering I use all of the biobizz set which is bio-grow bio-bloom bio-Heaven Alg-a-Mic and Topmax and I also use their light-mix soil as well. there about 5ft apart from the one I topped, I wasn't sure how they would react to topping so i only done it the once on one of them. they are half way through week 6 I will flush in about 2 weeks for 1 week.

Getting my equipment upgraded for my next grow I'll be using a 600watt metal halide & HPS for 18 hours on 6 off, il be using the same nutrients same soil and sticking to the bottled water from the shop, will also be doing lots of topping & lst!

some of the photos are recently and others are from the other week, you can see the damage that the deficiency left, cant wait to harvest and smoke up! feel free to leave comments and thanks for reading:D

Bottled water usually has added minerals for taste so it may not be much better than tap water. Consider spending the $150 and get your self a 3 or 4 stage reverse osmosis countertop device- it will pay off in the long run!

they seem to love bottled water so il probably just stick to that, only costs £2 for 4 big bottles of mineral water, my consider getting a reverse osmosis device in the future though

Ro does strip out all the calcium and (Mg), which as a grower you gotta chase up every now and then

easier to pour a cup of the local water into your clean stuff every week or so?

that has these elements in it

good luck

Did you harvest at full milky or a combination? Any amber etc?
I've grown this strain several times. The buds are always fat, dense and worth the time invested. Not to mention frosty and potent. You'll be pleased when they dry because of the density. They don't really shrink up as much and they're not fluffy. Just hard nuggets. Give them a 2 week cure and they taste Damn good. A month+ the profile changes and it's just damn good dope.
Monitor your humidity for sure at first if you plan on popping them into jars. I've found the centers of those buds can hold a lot of moisture. When they feel "crispy" on the outside it can mislead a bit. After a good 6 hours in the jar I've given them a feel and they were back to being moist again when the moisture spread out and evened. And the RH in the jars were sitting in the mid 80s.

I cut one down early a couple weeks back and that stank the whole house as i only had it drying in the spare room. i harvested the others about 50-60% amber just over week 8, very satisfied with the smoke from the one i cut early so I know the others are gonna be even better, did was a humidity problem but i moved to a different house to dry in a drying rack. I did realise the middle of some buds hold moister still grinds up good & smokes good though. will post my overall yield from all 3 when they are dry

Hope your couch is comfy cause you're gonna be locked the fuck down to it lol.
Your plants look good in the above photos as well.
On a side note the strain takes to Uncle Ben's Topping method perfectly.

This is how I discovered Ajax Super Degreaser dish washing liquid does a bang up job at scrubbing harvest stink off from you. Chopped 8 THC Bombs in one night, trimmed em up and hung them. Had the carbon scrubber going full blast. Smokers candles in surrounding rooms. Thought the whole house stunk but it was just sticking to me.
