LBC Q2 & Blonde Bomb
2 of each in a 3×3 in 2 gallon Fabric pots of coco/perlite 70/30. Today is 36 days from sprout and will be their 3rd day of flower. BB on the left and LBC Q2 on the right.

So you saw day 1 of flower in the first post…. the next photos are from day 7 & then day 14….I do use end of day near infrared to aid in the Pfr to Pr conversion…it’s very cultivar dependant, but these 2 strains are done stretching. They still stretch the same amount, it just happens a lot faster so it seems exaggerated. I only use 7 minutes of the NIR, most companies recommend 15 minutes, but I think that’s enough time where it does not influence the stretch to the point that it’s stretching excessively because of the NIR EOD light.

Here’s the 3 week cleanup…. definitely got more stretch than I was expecting and ran out of horizontal room to do a proper scrog with 4 plants. Strangely, I took a lot less than I thought I would. The internode spacing didn’t start to tighten up until around the 2nd trellis

Stacking nicely. I’ve decided to not use the supplemental deep red 660-665nm and uva bars this run because everything’s so close to the fixture, i can’t raise it anymore and the supplemental wouldn’t get an even spread being so close. Too bad because the deep red really adds a lot of photosynthetic energy while allowing the main light to be run at a lower % helping with heat. Oh well, it’ll be a nice experiment to use this light without the deep red 660-665nm for science lol.
Everything’s stacking nicely and nothings showing any bleaching or taco’ing or any other light stress symptoms, but keeping eyes peeled.
I don’t think I’ve had a trunk that thick…. ever?!? That’s from the lbc q2…. the other lbc also has a thick trunk, but not as big as the one pictured. I doubt my shears will make it through that!
Airflow, temperature and rh has been greatly improved since the cleanup. Currently getting a total of 10 shots/day, still tweaking the duration as useage ramps up. Feed recipe change in a few days as well, reduce N & up the PK…EC around 1.5ish right now. Also getting recharge and floralicious Plus every Sunday, but with the high frequency fertigation, not sure if it helps as much as it does for the SIP bases in the auto Tent where there’s no runoff

Stretch got away from me a little bit having 4 vigorous plants, i ran out of room horizontallyand thought they’d ease up on the vertical but its close as you can see, but the plants are handling everything great.

Dang! Always looks so nice inside your tents!

Ha! This time, it’s pretty chaotic….. it’s like 2/3 lbc, 1/3 blonde bomb….the lbc just can’t be stopped!!
-
First 3 are LBC Q2 and the last is blonde Bomb with those giant spear colas
-
Looking good in there! I def wanna hear a smoke report comparison between these 2. Rock on brother!

We’re at 52F now…. started introducing osmotic stress with generative fertigation steering, lowered main light intensity and giving 10 minutes of uva/ hour rather than 5 minutes. The only blonde Bomb picture is the last one.

Chopped at day 61….lbc q2 was ready around day 52ish but wanted to wait for the blonde bomb to harvest together

1st 3 pics are LBC Q2 front plant, pics 4-6 are the back LBC Q2, and the last 3 are blonde Bomb.
The front lbc yielded slightly better, its “lowers” are super dense and added about an oz to the weight. The rear lbc q2 yielded about an oz less, but its flowers are extremely nice….. they have a pinkish hue to them and have are fluffy, dense and covered in trichs. Both currently have an orange creamcicle type smell… but they’ve only had about 36 hours in the grove bag
Blonde Bomb has some huge colas and insane bag appeal. This was a nice strain to run with LBC as its a totally different flower structure & color… Blonde Bomb has a much darker or purple hue to it from being rich in anthocyanins whereas LBC is predominantly green with one of the plants having some pink hues. And the flower structure kinda reminds me of a dos si do type flower with its huge bracts/calyxes….. that, along with the color and trichome coverage makes it look like it was rolled around in sugar.
The smells from the 2 are very different too, with the blonde bomb currently smelling more on the gas/rubber spectrum and and lbc predominantly citrus with a creamy? undertone.
Both are very pleasant on all the senses.
I usually wait until stuff has had at least a 2 week cure before I start getting into them, so no word yet on effects.
