THC Bomb/ Strawberry Blue newbie closet grow

Update, day 24 of flowering:

S/B:


bomb:


S/B is still continuing to impress me. Starting to frost up nicely already. I did nute burn it a little, as you can see, but it's cool.
The bomb, not so much. This plant, which I was planning on being my yeilder, is falling steeply behind in bud production. To the point where I'm starting to think I'll get hardly any harvest out of it.
I'm not sure if maybe I've done something wrong, or if maybe this strain is just not well suited to growing under low wattage.

One thing I'd like to say is a huge recommendation for Attitude seed bank. I ordered the THC Bomb, and got the SB and one other seed as freebies. If I only had the bomb, and only had the results I am getting from the bomb, I might have been put off growing (as a beginner). But the SB has really made it worthwhile. So not only does the Attitude give out free seeds, but they give out high quality free seeds.
I don't mean to dog on THC bomb, it still looks like a great strain, I think I just haven't given it what it needs to thrive.

good word about Attitude...speaking of attitude, have you always had good shipping experiences with them?

Well done getting that tall branch to not hog all the light. Very healthy.

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Being my first grow, I've only had the one shipping experience, but absolutely no complaints. Can't remember how long it took to arrive, but I definitely wasn't left waiting. I got the $5 t shirt they offer, for a bit of added stealth. I'll never wear the shirt (I don't actually like to advertise that I grow weed - lol), but at $5, well worth the stealth imho. Also, I had the seeds removed from original packaging. No problems getting through customs, so no complaints from me

right on, that sounds good. i would not wear that shirt either haha no way. i think i would opt for that same shipping option as you. ive only ordered from single seed centre, and both times everything arrived in decent amount of time, and customer service was great.

Nice job for a newbie much better then my first grows

I've had no problems with herming at all (in my one and only SB plant, mind you). Update to come tomorrow morning.

a friend from Denver gave me the seedstock. he said that his neighbor had Diesel Wreck moms she had in a perpetual harvest...and it was some SICK smoke. she said the seeds were fem (and im too far away to grab clones) and they absolutely are some strong genetics. maybe just sensitive? who knows
