Welcome to my grow journal,
I planted 10 THC Bomb seeds March 12th {3/12} and two weeks later 5 Krystalicas. Now 6 weeks later I have 8 Bombs and 4 Krystalica. Bombs are 5", 12', 13', 16", 17", 20" and two that don't look good. One of the bad ones is not growing and the other has stems so long as to have nodes a foot apart. I topped it but there isn't anything left but stems. All Bombs are showing alternating nodes. ie. 6 Bombs.
The Krystalica are all fine healthy plants just short.
I topped the 4 largest Bombs a couple of weeks ago and put them under a 150w HPS so the others can catch up, the others being under a 400w HPS. I aim to veg them to 18" but one is already taller than that while one other is only 5". I'll hold the 5" plant back with the Krystalicas and flower the Bombs pretty soon. They are just starting to look good. Putting down roots and growing much better now; I want to let them get well rooted. Maybe top the tall Sativa phenotype but they are starting to look healthy now. I'll flip in a week or two when they produce more foliage. At this time they are, but for shorty, 12" - 20".
I can see only two phenotypes, one Sativa phenotype thin, light colored leaves and the nodes are way far apart, and the Indica type is dark green with thick leaves and nodes are close together. I hope to take 3-4 clones from each before flowering. Then when the males are identified trash them and their clones saving two clone mothers, one of each type and flowering the female Bombs.
Option 2: Keep one of the big {12" +} bombs for a clone mother, {one of the Indica types}
The Krystalica can be flowered with the 5" Bomb if it turns out to be a female. But I have only four Krystalica and with the short Bomb, maybe 2-3 females in all. The 400w will be busy for 7-9 weeks flowering the 3-4 female thc bombs and the Krystalica will have to veg a long time. There's time to sprout the 10 Satori under my 150w and have them ready to flip by the time the 400w is unoccupied. Maybe with a long veg period the Krystalica will show pre-flowers and I can for the first time judge sex before flipping, the Bombs too!
Looks like I will be growing half-crops till I get my clone mothers going.
Thank you...
