( THC Bomb 4 weeks into flower)
THC Bomb by Bomb Seeds
I've done this strain many times in my earlier days. The high levels of THC advertised along with high yields was to tempting. As most of you will know, you can't always take what you read on a breeders packet as set in stone, this strain delivered but only some of the time.
There are several pheno`s to this strain, they look similar, which makes the job harder when selecting a good one. The difference between these is smell, taste and stone, they couldn't be further apart in quality, making this strain a bit hit or miss. All that said, if you are lucky enough to come across the decent pheno you are in for a real treat.

Good comments: A pleasure to grow, short compact plant, tight inter-nodal spacing. Heavy feeder in flower. Very little stretch so grow to a good size before flip. This pheno is up there in my all time favourite plant to grow and smoke. The huge shame here is its not as common as the lesser pheno in my experience, making it very hit and miss. Its hard to tell the pheno`s apart until the plant is chopped and smoked.
I also done this good pheno on a 12/12 cycle (flower from seed) and got 38g a plant.

Comments: This is the lesser pheno I found through numerous grows of this strain, the taste was skunky but had a tea taste to it, the smell like nettles.
Would i do it again?
No, while the good pheno is truly a legendary smoke and pleasure to grow I don't want to waste time growing it out to find out which I have. A real shame, bomb seeds nearly got this one spot on :( .
. As for the strain its a real shame, almost impossible to tell the good pheno from bad as they are identical, so i wont do it again, i had a mum but had to clean house one evening and lost her :( .
